28 Thou hast made known. He meaneth that he was restored from death to life by the grace of God. For in that he was as it were a man raised from death to life,1 he acknowledgeth that it was a great good gift of God. This was in such sort fulfilled in Christ, that there wanted nothing unto perfection. As for the members they have their measure. Therefore Christ was far from corruption, that he may be the first fruits of those which rise from death. We shall follow him in our order at length, but being first turned into dust. That which followeth, that he was filled with gladness, with ⟨p. 49⟩the countenance of God agreeth with that: Show us thy face, and we shall be safe. And again, The light of thy countenance is showed upon us: thou hast put gladness in my heart. For it is only the pleasantness of Gods countenance, which doth not only make us glad, but also quicken us: again, when the same is turned away or troubled, we must needs faint.

This was in such sort fulfilled in Christ, that there wanted nothing vnto perfection. As for the members they haue their measure. Therefore Christ was far from corruption, that he may be the first frutes of those which rise from death. We shal folow him in our order at length, but being first turned into dust. That which foloweth, that he was filled with gladnesse, with ⟨p. 49⟩the countenaunce of God agreeth with that: Shew vs thy face, and we shalbe safe. And againe, The light of thy countenaunce is shewed vpon vs: thou hast put gladnesse in my heart. For it is only the pleasantnes of Gods countenance, which doth not only make vs glad, but also quicken vs: againe, when the same is turned away or troubled, wee must needes faint.
