The old faith an evident probation out of the holy scripture, that the christen faith (which is the right, true, old and undoubted faith) hath endured since the beginning of the world. Herein hast thou also a short sum of the whole Bible, and a probation, that all virtuous men have pleased God, and were saved through the Christen faith. 1547. Myles Coverdale.The olde fayth an euident probacion out of the holy scripture, that the christen fayth (whiche is the right, true, old and vndoubted fayth) hath endured sens the beginnyng of the worlde.

He shall drink out of the broke, that is, he shall ⟨image 44⟩suffer & be overcome. For to drink out of1 the cup is as much as to suffer. But to drink out of the broke, is to be altogether full of trouble, to be vexed and •ormē ted without victory, and utterly to be overwhelmed with a broke & strong stream of troubles. Thus was it his mind to declare the passion of Christ. After the passion followeth the glory with the resurrection and ascension. Paul Philip. ii. speaketh of both, and sayeth. Christ humbled himself, and became obedient unto death even the death of the Cross. Wherefore God hath exalted him, and given him a name, which is above all names. &c. Thus much be spoken of this Psalm and of Davids understanding, which he had of Christ Jesus and of the christen faith
