Paul saith (to the Romans in the. x. Chapter.) if thou confess with thy mouth that Jesus is the lord and believe with thine heart that god raised him up from death, thou shalt be safe
Paule sayth (to the Romains in the. x. Chapter.) if thou cōfesse with thi mouth that Iesus is the lorde and beleue wythe thyne herte that god raised him vp from death, thou shalt be safe
That is if thou believe that he raised him1 up again for thy salvation. Many believe that God is rich and almighty, but not unto them selves and that he will be good to them and defend them and be ⟨image 68⟩their God. Pharaoh for pain of the plague was compelled to confess his sins, but had yet no power to submit him self unto the will of God and to let the children of Israel go and to loose so great profit for Gods pleasure. As our prelates confess there sins saying: though we be never so evil, yet have we the power.
That is if thou beleue yt he reysed hym1 vp againe for thy saluacion. Many beleue that God is rich and almyghtye, but not vnto them selues and that he welbe good to them and defende them and be ⟨image 68⟩their God. Phara• for payne of ye plage was compelled to confesse his sinnes, but hadde yet no powere to submytte hym selfe vnto the wyll of God and to lette the chylder of Israell go and to loose so greate porfet for Gods pleasur. As oure prelates confesse there sinnes sayenge: though we be neuer so euill, yet haue we the power.
