Now / by him we have an entrance unto God. For he is ours the pledge of the grace of God / our Advocate / our suffer our head / intercessor and mediator. He is our whole trust and affiance both first and last.
Nowe / by him we haue an entraunce vnto God. For he is oures the pledge of the grace of God / our Aduocate / oure sufere oure head / intercessour ande mediatour. He is our whole trust and affiaunce both fyrst and last.
Those that hitherto understand the mystery of the Gospel and trust upon the same / are borne of God for the capacity of mans weakness can not attain unto so profound a counsel of the grace of god.
Those that hetherto vnderstand the mistery of the Gospell ād trust vppon the same / are borne of God for the capacite of mannes weakenes can not attaine vnto so profounde a coūsell of the grace of god.
Out of this it cometh / that those that are borne a new of the Gospel / can not sin. For every such one as is borne of God doth not sin. But he that believeth the Gospel / is borne of God / wherefore they do not sin that are borne new of the Gospel. That is to say / the sins are not imputed unto them unto damnation and death because Christ hath redeemed them with the price of his death. For albeit that we (as long as we are in this body travailing as it were in pilgrimage ⟨image 9⟩from God) cannot be without affects / and so by that means also / not without sin. Ye• Christ notwithstanding because he is ours / doth supply or amend all this our impotency or weakness. For seeing he is god eternal and a spirit / he is more precious to redeem the sins of all men / than they them selves are able to deserve.
