Secondly they declare, to whom he giveth reward,1 I say to two sorts of men: to good I mean, & evil. Again he recounteth many kinds of good men. First he calleth these the servants of god, as they that be subject to the empire of god alone, and obey him in all things. By and by he nameth them prophets, teachers of churches. Of whose state moe things are spoken in the .11. chap. These some to be more unfortunate than any others in this world, and are accounted of many as great offenders, which being taken out of that way, all clearness should seem to come again. Therefore be they justly recounted in the register of them, which receive a reward of the lord, to wit in recompense of their travel. Now into this account come also the saints. that is to say, all godly which being sanctified through faith with the spirit & blood of god, have lived an holy life, keeping themselves from all worldly pollution. Moreover in the godly reward & number of holy saints are reckoned such as fear the name of the lord: that is, they that be very holy ⟨p. 344⟩and religious in deed.

These some to be more vnfortunate than any others in this world, and ar accompted of many as great offēders, which being taken out of yt way, all clearenes shuld seme to come againe. Therfore be thei iustlie raccompted in the rigister of them, which receiue a reward of ye lord, to wit in recōpence of their trauell. Now into this accompte come also ye saints. that is to sai, al godly which being sanctified through fayth wt the spirit & bloud of god, haue lyued an holy life, keping thēselues from al worldly pollutiō. Moreouer in ye godly reward & nōbre of holy saincts are reckened such as fear ye name of the lord: that is, thei that be very holy ⟨p. 344⟩
