¶ The .iii. Chapter.
We begin to praise our selves again. Need we as some other / of pistles §Aof recommendation unto you? or letters of recommendation from you? Ye are our pistle written in our hearts / which is understand and reed of all men / in that ye are known / how that ye are the pistle of Christ / ministered by us and written / not with ink: but with the spirit of the living God / not in tables of stone / but in fleshly tables of the heart.1 ✚ Such trust have we through Christ to god ward / not that we are sufficient of our selves to think any thing as it were of our selves: but our ablenes cometh of God / which hath made us able to minister the new testament / not of the letter / but of the spirit. For the letter killeth / but the spirit giveth life.
