Be not like the heathen which have no trust in God nor his word, nor believe any life to come. Let them vex them selves and each be a devil to an other for worldly things. But comfort 1thou thy self with y• hope of a better life in another world, ever assured that y• shalt have here sufficient, only if thou keep covenant with the Lord thy God, and seek his kingdom and the righteousness thereof above all things. The kingdom of God, is the Gospel and doctrine of Christ. And the righteousness 2thereof, is to believe in Christs blood for the remission of sins. Out of which righteousness springeth love to God, & thy neighbour for his sake, which is also righteousness as I have said afore, so far as it is perfect, and that which lacketh is supplied by faith in Gods word, in that he hath promised to accept that, till more come. Then 3followeth the outward righteousness of works by the which, and diligent recording of Gods word together, we grow and wax perfect and keep our selves from going back and losing the spirit again.
