howbeit, for the better profiting of our selves by this strain: Let […] that we must bridle our selves, least we wander into […] when we know God the father of our Lord […]. And why? For the Papists have this word God often […] in their mouths, and likewise the word Jesus Christ, […] the mean while they have disfigured Jesus Christ, and […] the doctrine of his Gospel wherein he should be seen. So […] they a God: howbeit but by confused imagination: & in the mean […] they know him not. And truly, they wo•e no more what God […] worship, than the Turks do. We know that our Lord Jesus […] (in the fourth of John) saith, that they which have not the […] too rule themselves well, wot not what they worship, […] continually forge Idols too themselves. Therefore there is […] one way too have good and infallible access unto God: and […] by beholding him in his lively image, for his majesty is too […], too far of, and too deep for us. But Jesus Christ hath […] himself too us, and applied himself too our weakness, and […] us whatsoever was requisite too know, that we might […] too God his father. Ye see then that we must have our Lord […] Christ for our way, too the intent we stray not.

But when we consider that he calleth himself the father of him that is our head: we know that he also must needs avow us for his children, because he hath bought us.
