Moreover cursed is he that trusteth in ought save God saith the text, and therefore the Saints would have no man to trust in them while they were alive. As Paul saith 1. Cor. 3. What 1is Paul save your servant to preach Christ. Did Paul dye for you? were ye baptised in the name of Paul? Did I not marry you to Christ to put your trust in him? And again, let no man rejoice or trust in man, saith he. For all are yours, whether Paul, or Apollo, or Cephas: whether the world, life, death, present things, or things to come: all are yours, and ye are Christs, and Christ is Gods. If my faith be steadfast in the promises that I have in Christs blood, I need but to pray my father in Christs name, and he shall send me a legion of Angels to help me: so that my faith is Lord over the Angels and over all creatures to turn them unto my souls health and my fathers honour, and may be subject unto no creature, but unto ⟨p. 296⟩Gods word in our Saviour Christ 2only.

And agayne, let no man reioyce or trust in man, sayth he. For all are youres, whether Paule, or Appollo, or Cephas: whether the world, life, death, present thynges, or thynges to come: all are youres, and ye are Christes, and Christ is Gods. If my fayth be stedfast in the promises that I haue in Christes bloud, I néede but to pray my father in Christes name, and he shall send me a legion of Angels to helpe me: so that my fayth is Lord ouer the Angels and ouer all creatures to turne them vnto my soules health and my fathers honour, and may be subiect vnto no creature, but vnto
