Therefore Jesus Christ being the very son of God, and very God eternal,¹ and of the same essence with the father, as concerning his divine nature, hath taken human flesh, in the time ordained by the ⟨p. 16⟩father in the womb of the virgin Mary,² by the work of the holy Ghost: in the which flesh and human nature he hath born our sins, and the wrath and curse of God, the which we have deserved, and he hath borne it to deliver us from it, by the merit of his only death and passion: by the which he hath satisfied for us, as the only well-beloved son, who only was able to do it as he in whom only the father hath set his whole delight.

THerfore Iesus Christe being the very sonne of God, and very God eternall,¹ and of the same essēce with the father, as concerning his diuine nature, hath taken humain flesh, in the tyme ordeined by the ⟨p. 16⟩father in the wombe of the virgin Marie,² by the worke of the holye Ghoste: in the whiche flesh and humaine nature he hath born our sinnes, and the wrath and curse of God, the which we haue deserued, and he hath borne it to deliuer vs from it, by the merite of his only death and passion: by the which he hath satisfied for vs, as the only welbeloued sonne, who only was able to doe it as he in whome onely the father hath set his whole delight.
