This article also is divided into his 1parts. First we confess that our Lord suffered in very deed, & not fantastically to the appearance only, & that he suffered verily the calamities and miseries of this world, and after that again the torments of the slaughtermen, and death it self in most bitter pangs. He suffered therefore both in soul and body, yea and that too in many fashions. For Isaiah saith: He is a man of sorrows, & hath felt calamities. He beareth our infirmities, and hath carried our sorrows. For the Lord himself also in the Gospel said. My soul is heavy even unto the death. But verily he suffered all this for us. For in him was neither sin, nor any cause else why he should suffer.

Secondarily in this article is noted 1the time, & Pontius Pilate the judge, under whom the Lord dyed, and redeemed the world from sin, death, the devil and hell. He suffered therefore in the Monarchy of the Romans, under the Emperor Tiberius, when as now according to the Prophecy of Jacob father of Israel, the Jewish people obeyed foreign kings, because there were no more kings or captains of the stock of Judah, to have the rule over them. For he foretold that then the Messiah should come.
