Before these is set a description of Christ most elegant,1 most wholesome, and most full of consolation, declaring his force in the ministry, by the ministers of the word, whom he hath clothed with virtue from above, & by the weak things of this world, overcometh and beateth together the strongest things of this world, and the which seemed invincible. Christ king and Bishop animateth all his faithful with his spirit and word indifferently, & always and every where worketh many things by his virtue, so that he is now felt of all men to be come again, unto whom he seemed hitherto to have absented him self some what to long. And I doubt, whether there be in ⟨p. 284⟩all the canonical books a•ter the prophecy of Isaiah, after the story of the Gospel, and especially after the gospel of blessed S. John, any other book which hath mo and more goodly descriptions of Christ, than hath this book. They are deceived and much abused, which suppose a rare gospel to be preached in this book. But let us see the description of Christ by parts.

Christ king and Bisshop animateth al his faythfull with his spirite and word indifferently, & alwaies and euery where worketh many things by his vertue, so yt he is now felte of al mē to be cōmen againe, vnto whō he semed hitherto to haue absented him self some what to long. And I doubt, whether ther be in ⟨p. 284⟩all the canonical bokes a•ter the prophecie of Esaye, after the story of the Gospell, and especially after the gospell of blessed S. Iohn, any other boke which hath mo and more goodly descriptions of Christ, than hath this boke. They are disceyued and much abused, which suppose a rare gospell to be preached in this boke. But let vs see the descriptiō of Christ by partes.
