But as now we see that the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ hath bin shed for our redemption, and for the purchase of our salvation. And shall we now go trample under our feet the holy blood, whereby the covenant of the spiritual kindred which God hath entered into with us, is ratified and confirmed? And as touching the Law, how doth the Apostle speak of it in the Epistle to the Hebrews? As many (saith he) as violated the tabernacle that was made by Moses,1 were not spared, their fault was unpardonable: and what shall become of us nowadays? Is not our lewdness much more shameful? Therefore let us bear now in mind that we be Gods precious possession, to the intent we give not our selves over to Satan. Moreover let us understand, after what manner he hath created and fashioned us, and let us not refuse that grace: but sith he hath vouchsafed to reform us, let us not stein our selves with reproach, by going about to deface the image & workmanship which he hath put into us.
