IN the second part of the Creed (which treateth of our Redemption and price given for us) you have been taught (good children) to know the second person in Trinity, Jesus Christ what he is, and what he hath done for us, that he was made man for our sakes, that he toke upon him our since, and suffered for us the ⟨p. cxxxiii⟩fear and pangs of death & hell, and had victory over them by his passion and death. And after by his godly and victorious power he arose again from death to life. And after this most glorious conquest, he ascended into heaven, where he sitteth at the right hand of his father, & is our Lord, and we his servants dearly bought.
IN the seconde parte of the Crede (which treateth of our Redemption and pryce giuen for vs) you haue bene taughte (good children) to knowe the seconde persone in Trinitie, Iesus Christe what he is, and what he hath done for vs, that he was made man for our sakes, that he toke vpon him our synnes, and suffered for vs ye ⟨p. cxxxiii⟩feare and panges of deathe & hel, and had victory ouer them by hys passiō and death. And after by his godly and victorious power he arose again from death to lyfe. And after this most glorious conquest, he ascended into heauen, where he sitteth at the ryghte hande of his father, & is our Lorde, and we his seruantes derely boughte.
All this you have learned in the last sermon, but now good children, in this third part of the Creed, you shall learn to know the third person in trinity, the holy ghost, and also his benefits and gifts that we may know, what we have received of God after our redemption, whereby we may be made mete to come to everlasting life thorough the merits of Christ. For although our Lord Jesus Christ, hath redeemed us from the captivity ⟨image 156⟩of sin death and hell, and hath set us again in the favour of God, yet we should have no knowledge of these great benefits, we should feel in our consciences no comfort joy or peace, by the same, if they were not declared unto us by the preaching of gods most holy word.
