And to Christ are attributed three things or rather Christ attributeth three things to him self, that he is holy, true, & hath the key of David: The which he hath borrowed of the Image of the first Chapt. Christ is holy,1 because he is pure & clean from all filthiness, & from all unrighteousness, very God, a con summing fire, doing no man any wrong, having nothing at all that may be blamed. For to him the Seraphin saying rightly, holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth: Isaiah. 7.2 Christ is also the holy one of the Saints, a sanctification I say that sanctifieth all, that be sanctified. The same loveth holiness in saints. Christ therefore is most truly called. Antichrist the Pope hath taken upon him this title, and so filthy sitteth on this beast, as if you should call a privy or a Jakes a Rosier. Spit upon that vile and filthy beast, which suffereth him self to be called the most holy father, and worship Christ the ⟨p. 112⟩holy one of all holy, unless you had rather understand by that holiness not every holiness, but pope holiness that is to wit, stinking & swimming full of all abominations. Christ is like wise called true,3 because he is eternal and faithful, evermore constant and incorrupt. He can neither deceive nor be deceived. The same most constantly keepeth his promises. All his words be undoubted and true: Albeit that flesh, that can abide no delay, begin many times to doubt, yet no one point or jot of them falleth away. The trueth of the Lord endureth for ever. Thou standest upon a most sure foundation, if thou lean unto Christ, which in the 14. of John also calleth him self the verity.

Christe is holy,1 because he is pure & cleane from al filthines, & from al vnrightuousnes, very God, a cō suming fire, doyng no man any wrōg, hauing nothing at all that may be blamed. For to him ye Seraphin sayng rightly, holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth: Esaye. 7.
