If thou have peace in thy self and 1lovest the peace of thy brethren after this manner, so is God through Christ at peace with thee, and thou his beloved son and heir also.
If thou haue peace in thy selfe and 1louest the peace of thy brethren after this maner, so is God through Christ at peace with thee, and thou his beloued sonne and heyre also.
- 1When thou mayest assure thy self to be y• sonne and heir of God.Whē thou maist assure thy selfe to be y• sonne and heyre of God.
Moreover if the wrong done thee, be greater, then thou mayst bear: as when thou art a person, not for thy self only. But in respect of other, in what soever worldly degree it be, and hast an office committed thee: then (when thou hast warned with all good manner him that did it, and none amendment will be had) keep peace in thine hart and love him still, and complain to them that are set to reform such things, and so art thou yet a peacemaker and still the Son of God. But if thou avenge thy self or desirest more then that such wrongs be forbidden, 1thou sinnest against god, in taking the authority of God upon thee without his commandment. God is father over all, and is (of right) judge over all his children, and to him only pertaineth all avenging. Who therefore without his commandment avengeth either with hart or hand, the same doth cast him self into the hands of the sword, & loseth the right of his cause.
