Let us think how vile a thing it is to shrink away from such a captain, or for us to be so sluggish, when as he fighteth so strongly & so valiantly. Let us consider how evil it becometh the members to be proud, high minded and envious, when as the head doth so hum ble it self, and is so fervent in charity. Let us also weigh how great infamy it is for a captain, to take upon him so many wounds & lastly of all death,1 & the soldiers to be a sleep and give themselves to rioting, whosoever therefore will live godly in Christ Jesus, must prepare themselves to suffer persecutions, and by many tribulations, must strive to come to everlasting life, they must abide in the fear of god, and prepare their minds to temptations, and keep themselves pure from this world. Christ hath given us an example, that we should do even as he hath done.
Let vs thinke how vile a thing it is to shrink away from such a capitayne, or for vs to bee so sluggish, when as he fighteth so strongly & so valiauntly. Let vs consider how euil it becommeth the members to be proud, high minded and enuious, when as the hed doth so hū ble it selfe, and is so feruent in charitie. Let vs also weighe how great infamy it is for a capitaine, to take vpon him so many woundes & lastly of all death,1 & the souldiors to be a slepe and geue themselues to rioring, whosoeuer therfore will liue godly in Christ Iesus, must prepare themselues to suffer persecutions, and by many tribulacions, must striue to come to euerlasting life, they must abyde in the feare of god, and prepare their myndes to temptations, and kepe thēselues pure frō this world. Christ hath geuē vs an exāple, that we shuld do euen as he hath done.
