112 Neither is there salvation in any other. He passeth from the species unto the” Genus: and he goeth from the corporal benefit, unto perfect health. And assuredly Christ had showed this one token of his grace, to the end he might be known to be the only author of life. We must ⟨p. 91⟩consider this in all the benefits of God, to wit, that he is the fountain of salvation. And he meant to prick and sting the Priests with this sentence, when as he saith that there is salvation in none other save only in Christ, whom they went about to put quit out of remembrance. As if he should say, that they are twice damned, who did not only refuse the salvation offered them by God, but endeavour to bring the same to naught, and did take from all the people the fruit and use thereof. And although he seemeth to speak unto deaf men, yet doth he preach of the grace of Christ, if peradventure some can abide to hear: if not, that they may at least be deprived of all excuse by this testimony.
