Wherefore whilst we behold the wonderful acts of the Judges, we ought to have before our eyes the excellent faith which brightly shined in them, & together with it the common deliverer of humane kind, namely the Son of God Christ Jesus, whom they beheld as their Captain and Emperor. And that not unworthily, for he by them wrought, and by them did set the people at liberty, in admonishing them ⟨image 5⟩by the voices of Angels, and oracles of Prophets, in confirming them in dangers, and at the last not unconstantlye but most faithfully performing those things which he had before most liberally promised. Lastly, when we hear that the Hebrews, which were the members of the same Christ, were sometime oppressed and slain of their enemies. Let us in them acknowledge the death and torments of our head. And in their victories and triumphs. Let us behold his resurrection, kingdom and glory. For God hath framed unto us wings of his spirit and word: but if through our own default we become fleshy and heavy, we shall not be carried up into heaven, but together with beasts be drawn downward.
Wherfore whilest we behold the wonderful actes of the Iudges, we ought to haue before our eyes the excellent fayth which brightly shined in them, & together with it the cōmon deliuerer of humane kinde, namely the sonne of God Christ Iesus, whom they beheld as their Captaine and Emperour. And that not vnwoorthely, for he by them wrought, and by them did set the people at liberty, in admonishing them ⟨image 5⟩by the voyces of Angels, and oracles of Prophetes, in confirming them in daungers, and at the last not vnconstantlye but most faythfullye performing those thinges which he had before most liberally promised. Lastlye, when we heare that the Hebrues, which were the members of the same Christ, were sometime oppressed and slayne of their enemies. Let vs in them acknowledge the death and tormētes of our head. And in their victories and triumphes. Let vs behold his resurrection, kingdome and glory. For God hath framed vnto vs winges of his spirite and woord: but if through our own default we become fleshy and heauy, we shal not be caryed vp into heauen, but together with beastes bee drawen downewarde.
