1Every one that forsaketh house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land for my names sake, shall receive an hundred fold, and shall inherit everlasting life. Lo here Christ sayeth: Every one. which considered, than say I, that he doth not except us, nether any that hath done as we have done. For his promise is universal.2 And as the promise is universal, so is also the performance thereof, if man continueth faithful in his calling.

1Saint Luke rehearsing this saying of Christ, sayeth thus. Verily I say unto you: There is no man that hath forsaken house, either father or mother, either brethren or wife, or children (for the kingdom of God's sake) which shall not receive much more in this world, and in the world to come life everlasting. As though Christ should thus say: No man for my cause shall suffer dā mage here, but shall enjoy much more again for it, both in this life, and in the life to come.
