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.
In the second Chap. he showeth that Christ is the foundation & head corner stone whereon all are built through faith / whether it be Jew or gen tile / & how that in Christ they are made Priests / to offer them selves to god (as christ did him self) & to slay the lusts of the flesh that fight against the soul. And first he teacheth them in general to obey the worldly rulers and then in special he teacheth the servants to obey their masters be they good or bad / & to suffer wrong of them as Christ suffered wrong for us.
