As the Apostle John saith. For all that is borne of God overcometh the world: And this is the victory that vanquisheth the world even your saith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
As the Apostle Iohn sayth. For all that is borne of God ouercommeth the worlde: And this is the victorie that vanquisheth the worlde euen your sayth. Who is hee that ouercommeth the worlde, but he that beleeueth that Iesus is the Sonne of God?
Paul saith. Some were racked, not caring by faith to be set at liberty, that they might obtain a better Resurrection. Other some were tried with mocks and stripes, with fetters and imprisonments, were stoned, were hewed in pieces, were slain with the edge of the sword: they wandered in sheep's skins and goats skins, comfortless, oppressed, afflicted, of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts and mountains, and in the dens and caves of the earth. For the Lord him self in the Gospel said: This spake I unto you, that ye might have peace in me. In the world ye have affliction, but be of good confidence I have overcome the world.
Paule sayth. Some were racked, not caring by faythe to be set at libertie, that they might obtaine a better Resurrection. Other some were tryed with mockes and stripes, with fetters and imprisonmentes, were stoned, were hewed in peeces, were slaine with the edge of the sworde: they wandred in sheepes skinnes and goates skinnes, comfortlesse, oppressed, afflicted, of whome the worlde was not worthy, wandring in desertes and mountaines, and in the dennes and caues of the earth. For the Lord him selfe in the Gospell sayde: This spake I vnto you, that ye might haue peace in me. In the worlde ye haue affliction, but be of good confidence I haue ouercome the worlde.
