1If we now apply these things to such as were done in old time, and now also at this day, they will bring a great light to them. There were found good men, faithful and fearing God, mourning or sorrowing, and servants of God. And there be found at this day also, in the midst of Mahometrie and Papistry, which expressly condemn and have condemned ⟨p. 221⟩this kind of life, openly confessing, that the same is not the true way of life, that there is no more wicked kind of men living, than be their priests, that they would not commit themselves and their salvation to them, but rather to consecrate themselves wholly to God his mercy. And others, which have spent a great part of their life of a good zeal, doubtless, but not according to knowledge, in those trifles and superstitions, when they are come to the end of their life, they despise all together: yea and freely professing the verity, they condemn all those trifles, and commit themselves wholly to the christian faith, esteeming nothing more excellent or surer, than the rule of faith, which also they covet to hear recited to them as a true confession, & die in the same. Al these hath the mercy of God sealed with the seal of the living God, and delivereth from all spot of Antichrist and satan, from corruption and destruction, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Yf we now applie these things to such as were done in old time, and now also at this daie, they wil bring a great light to them.

And others, whiche haue spent a great parte of their life of a good zeale, doubtles, but not accordyng to knowledge, in those trifles and superstitions, when they are comen to the ende of their life, they dispise al together: yea and freely professing the veritie, they condemne al those trifles, and committe thēselues wholy to the christian faith, estemyng nothing more excellent or surer, than the rule of fayth, which also they couet to heare recited to them as a trewe confession, & die in the same. Al these hath the mercy of God sealed with the seale of the liuing God, and deliuereth from al spotte of Antichrist and sathan, from corruption and distruction, through Iesus Christ our Lord.
