¶ A Prologue to the first epistle of Saint Peter.
¶ A Prologe to the fyrst epistle of Saynt Peter.
This epistle did saint Peter write to the Heathen that we reconuerted & exhorteth them to stand fast in the faith / to grow therein and to wax perfect / through all manner of suffering & also good works.
THis epistle dyd saynt Peter wryte to the Hethen that we reconuerted & exhorteth thē to stonde fast in the fayth / to grow therin and to wexe perfect / thorow all maner of sofferinge & also good workes.
In the first he declareth the justifying of faith through Christs blood / & 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 & made heirs of a rich in herytaunce / to take heed that we lose it not again through our own negligence.
In the fyrst he declareth the iustyfyenge of fayth thorow Christes bloude / & comforteth them with the hope of the lyfe to come / and sheweth that we haue not deserued it / but that the Prophetes prophisied it shuld be geuen vs / & as Christ which redemed vs oute of synne and all vnclennes is holye / so he exhorteth to leade an holye conuersacion: & because we be rychlye bought & made heyres of a ryche in herytaunce / to take hede that we lose it not agayne thorow oure awne necgligence.
