23 If thou bind thy self to chastity to obtain that which Christ purchased for thee, so surely art thou an Infidel, fol. 175.
23 If thou binde thy selfe to chastitie to obteyne that whyche Christ purchased for thee, so surely art thou an Infidell, fol. 175.
1Read and confer the place of Tyndale, which is this. Chastity canst thou not give to God, further then God lendeth it thee.2 If thou canst not live chaste, thou art bound to marry, or to be damned, &c. For to what purpose thou bendest thy self, must be seen. If thou do it to obtain thereby that which Christ hath purchased for thee, so art thou an Infidel,3 and hast no part with Christ. If thou wilt see more of this matter, look in Deuteronomy, and there shalt thou find it more largely entreated, &c.
