There be also two other places of the scripture,1 testifying that signets were given to men, wherewith they were sealed, & were exempt or delivered from the present evil: neither be they repugnant to this our seal of the living god. In Exod. 12. the posts or door cheeks of the Israelites were sprinkled with the blood of the lamb. The sign of it self should have prevailed nothing, unless the virtue of God instituting, & a consecrating the sign with his word, had turned away the angel destroyer: neither hath the sign wanted faith, being used of the holy men of god. For the godly receiveth not the ordinances of god without faith. Therefore the same power of Christ preserved the Israelites from destruction, which now keepeth the faithful from the infection of Antichrist. Ezekiel .9. one sealeth the foreheads ⟨p. 220⟩of yt faithful, having the type of a scribe & priest. Verily Christ hath at all times defended his. And he sealeth by imprinting or writing this mark or letter Tau. That mark signifieth, that is to say, the Law, or direction or Rule. For in whom so ever is engraven the law of God, the word of God, & even the rule of faith, in the very hart, he is safe & sure from all evil. The ancients in old time called the rule of faith & direction, the very articles of the christen faith, I believe in God, &c. Ye see therefore how all those signs come in deed all to one point. For they be safe and sure from evil, whom the spirit of God hath inspired and illumined with faith by the word. This much of the seal.
There be also two other places of the scripture,1 testifiyng that signets were geuen to men, wherwith they were sealed, & were exempte or deliuered from the present euil: neyther be they repugnaūt to this our seale of ye liuing god. In Exod. 12. the postes or dore chekes of ye Israelites were springled with the bloud of the lābe. The signe of it selfe should haue preuailed nothing, vnlesse the vertu of God instituting, & a cōsecrating the signe with his word, had tourned away thaungel distroyer: neither hath ye signe waunted faith, beyng vsed of the holy mē of god. For the godly receiueth not ye ordenaūces of god wtout faith. Therfore the same power of Christ preserued the Israelites frō distructiō, which now kepeth ye faithful frō the infectiō of Antichrist.
