In the fifth place is showed the effect of our redemption & purifying. For Christ hath brought to pass,1 that as many of us as believe in the father by the son of God, should be kings & priests to God & to his father. Aretas & the copy of complute read not kings but [Greek or Hebrew], that is kingdom: the which is not red amiss. For we be the kingdom of God, for because God by his spirit, not the flesh nor the world, ought to reign in us: And when we permit the government to the spirit, we be the ⟨p. 24⟩kingdom of God: The which thing S. Paul handleth at large in the sixth chap. to the Romans. Moreover we be made kings that is free,2 by Christ, that we should not serve the devil, th• flesh, and the world, according to that saying of Zechariah, […] being delivered from the hands of our enemies, we might serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness befo•• him all the days of our life.3 And Christ hath consecrated v• priests with his spirit and blood, that we should offer up t• God spiritual sacrifices, our selves pure, prayers and pra• ses,4 and almsdeeds. For that these be spiritual oblation• Peter and Paul do testify. And these things toke S. Joh• out of Exodus: For we of the Gentiles that have beleve• have succeeded in the place of the people of Israel reiecti• Christ through incredulity. And these things give a lyg•• to that article of the Creed, I believe the holy catholic church the communion of saints. For we be as many of us as b• leve, the fellowship of Gods people, sanctified through Chris to the service of God. Of whom be these things hitherto.
