A sermon of repentance, madeA sermon of repentaunce, made

Jesus Christ gave his life for our evils, and by his death delivered us: Oh, then in that he liveth now, and cannot dye, will he forsake us? His heart blood was not to deer for us, when we asked it not: what can then be now to dear for us, asking ⟨image 52⟩it? is he a changeling? is he mutable as man is? can he repent him of his gifts? Did he not foresee our falls? paid not he therefore the price. Because he saw we should fail sore, therefore would he suffer sore. Yea if his sufferings had not been enough, he would yet once more come again. GOD the father I am sure, if the death of his Son incarnate would not serve, would him self and the holy ghost also become incarnate, and dye for us. This death of Christ therefore look on, as the very pledge of Gods love towards thee, whosoever thou art, how deep soever thou hast sinned? See Gods hands are nailed, they cannot strike thee, his feet also, he cannot run from thee, his arms are wide open to embrace thee, his ⟨image 52⟩head hangs down to kiss thee, his very heart is open, so that therein see, root, look, spy, peep and thou shalt see nothing therein but love, love, love, love to thee, hide thee therefore, lay thy head there with the Evangelist. John. xiij.¹

Did he not foresee our falles? payde not he therefore the pryce. Because he sawe we shulde fail sore, therfore wolde he suffer sore. Yea if his sufferynges hadde not bene enoughe, he would yet once more come agayne. GOD the father I am sure, yf the deathe of hys sonne incarnate wold not serue, woulde him selfe and the holye ghost also become incarnate, and dye for vs. This death of Christ therfore loke on, as ye very plege of Gods loue towards the, whosoeuer thou art, howe deepe soeuer thou hast sinned? See Gods handes are nayled, they cannot stryke thee, his feete also, he cannot runne from thee, his armes are wide open to imbrace the, his
