Moreover, we here see how that the Son of God the derye lively Image of his Father,1 in whom his glory and majesty shineth, hath suffered all these shames, that we might now appear before God in his name to obtain favour and grace, and thereby acknowledge us as his Children, being clean void of all spots & blemishes. And this is it which we are to consider of, in this first place. Now let us come to the fall of Peter. It is said, That when a Maid saw him, she told him that he was one of Jesus Disciples, but he denied it. And that an other Maid told him the like ⟨image 52⟩tale, and he again denied it. Afterward, divers pressed him with it, and urged it more upon him, and then he began to swear and curse him self, as if he should have said, I pray God I be damned and come to naught, and the earth open and swallow me up, If I know him.
