THis Epistle dyd S. Peter write to the heathen that were conuerted, and exhorteth them to stād fast in the faith, to grow therein, and waxe perfect through all maner of sufferyng, and also good workes.
In the first he declareth the justifying of faith through Christs blood, and comforteth them with the hope of the life to come, and showeth that we have not deserved it, but that the prophets prophesied it should be given us, & as Christ which redeemed us out of sin, and all uncleanness is holy, so he exhorteth to lead an holy conversation, & because we be richly bought, and made heirs of a rich inheritance, to take heed that we lose it not again, through our own negligence.
