How be it there shall be graciously given us things far greater, much more glorious, more joyful and more divine, then we can comprehend, namely, salvation as it is in it self, in that day, when we, after the overcoming and treading down of death, through our Lord Jesus Christ, shall be carried up and taken to heaven, into eternal joy and salvation. Touching the which, I have hitherto written, not according to the Majesty and worthiness thereof, but after my small ability in most humble wise.

So be it.
