Therefore,¹ God his creator having pity on him, hath so loved the world, that he hath given his only son Jesus Christ, for mediator, patron, advocate, and intercessor between him and man, to reconcile them to him, even when they were his enemies. Wherefore it followeth, that he hath done this, not having regard to any deserving of man, who neither had nor could deserve but only eternal death, but hath only regarded his own goodness and mercy. Wherefore as there is but one only God, creator, governor & conserver of all things, nor any other saviour than he, nor in whom man may trust, nor worship, nor invocate: no more is there likewise but one only mediator Jesus Christ, by whom man may have access to God, and find favour in his sight, and recover that which through his own false he hath lost.

THerfore,¹ God his creator hauing pitie on him, hath so loued the worlde, that he hath giuen his only son Iesus Christe, for mediator, patron, aduocate, and intercessour betwéene him and man, to reconcile them to him, euen when they were his enimies. Wherfore it followeth, that he hath done this, not hauing regarde to any deseruing of man, who neyther had nor could deserue but only eternal death, but hath only regarded his own goodnesse and mercie. Wherfore as there is but one only God, creator, gouerner & conseruer of all things, nor any other sauiour than he, nor in whom man may trust, nor worship, nor inuocate: no more is there lykewise but one only mediator Iesus Christ, by whom man may haue accesse to God, and finde fauour in his sight, and recouer that whiche thorowe his owne faulse hee hath lost.
