They are also redeemed from men,1 delivered verily through the grace of Christ, that they should not follow this corrupt and unclean world, by all kind of pollution. For Christ by his spirit and word calleth his out of this world, that although in body we are conversant in the world, yet should we with all our mind abhor the world, & the things that are therein.

Furthermore for this intente hath he chosen, and redemed his from the bondage of men or of the worlde,2 that they should be first fruictes to God the father & to his sonne. Which place the moste godly and excellent learned man D. Fraunces Lamberte expounding in his cōmentaries vpon the Apocalipse: it is manifest, saieth he, by the .23. of Leuit. the .15. of
