God anointed his son Jesus with the holy Ghost, and therefore 1called him Christ, which is as much to say as anointed. Outwardly he disguised him not but made him like other men and sent him into the world to bless us, and to offer him self for us a sacrifice of a sweet savour, to kill the stench of our sins, that God hence forth should smell them no more, nor think on them any more: and to make full & sufficient satisfaction or amends for all them that repent, believing the truth of god, and submitting them selves unto his ordinances both for their sins that they do, have done and shall do. For sin we through fragility never so oft, yet as soon as we repent and come into the right way again, and unto the Testament which God hath made in Christs blood, our sins vanish away as smoke in the wind, and as darkness at the coming of light, or as thou cast a little blood or milk into yt main see. In so 2much that who soever goeth about to make satisfaction for his sins to God ward, saying in his hart, this much have I sinned, this much will I do again, or this wise will I live to make amends with all, or this will I do to get heaven with all, the same is an infidel, faithless and damned in his deed doing, and hath lost his part in Christs blood: because he is disobedient unto Gods Testament, and setteth up an other of his own imagination, unto which he will compel God to obey. If we love God we have a commandment to love our neighbour also, ⟨p. 133⟩as saith John in his Epistle. And if we have offended him to make him amends, 3or if we have not wherewith, to ask him forgiveness, and to do and suffer all things for his sake, to win him to God & to nourish peace and unity: but to Godward Christ is an everlasting satisfaction and ever sufficient.
GOd annoynted hys sonne Iesus with the holy Ghost, and therfore 1called him Christ, which is as much to say as annoynted. Outwardly he disguised him not but made hym like other mē and sent him into the world to blesse vs, and to offer him selfe for vs a sacrifice of a swete sauour, to kill the stench of our sinnes, that God hence forth should smell them no more, nor thinke on them any more: and to make full & sufficient satisfaction or amendes for all them that repent, beleuyng the truth of god, and submitting them selues vnto his ordinaūces both for their sinnes that they do, haue done and shal do. For sinne we through fragilitie neuer so oft, yet as soone as we repente and come into the right way agayne, and vnto the Testament whiche God hath made in Christes bloud, our sinnes vanish away as smoke in the winde, and as darkenes at the commyng of light, or as thou cast a litle bloud or milke into yt mayne see.
