I. They that are justified in Christ, are also regenerate in him and receive power to do good.

I. They that are iustified in Christ, are also regenerate in him and receiue power to doe good.

:500p. 156

WE believe that they which are ingrafted into Christ, like as they are justified in him, so they be regenerated in him, and made new creatures, by participation of his divine nature: and consequently are made free, and do take force from Christ himself, as members from the head, and as branches from the vine, to eschew evil, and to follow that which is good. As Christ sayeth, if the son of man shall make ye free ¹ye shall be free indeed. But then be we made free, when we are joined unto Christ, and regenerate by his spirit: as the Apostle also saith, where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

WE beleeue that they which are ingrafted into Christ, like as they are iustified in him, so they bee regenerated in him, and made new creatures, by participatiō of his diuine nature: and consequētly are made free, and doe take force from Christ himselfe, as members from the head, and as braunches from the vine, to eschew euill, and to follow that which is good. As Christ saieth, if the sonne of man shall make yee free ¹ye shall bee free indeede. But then be we made free, when wee are ioyned vnto Christ, and regenerate by his spirite: as the Apostle also saith, where the spirite of the Lord is, there is libertie.
