hym a mercifull father, shuld not (after the maner of evill 
doars) dreade hym as a tyrannt, but bence fortlie feare hym, 
as a rigthous lorde, and so love hym with a chyldly love, that 
both mynde and worke al wa- [fol. 19 b .] yes and every where 
manifestly declare in oure livynge tbat we are of his electe 
and chosen, clensed from the olde Adam, and renewed witli 
the newe man which is acceptable vnto god by the merittes 
of Christis bloude. For his seconde connnynge suerly shalbe 
to iudge bothe quicke and ded. That is manifestly to geve 
iudgement accordynge as every manne hath by his worke 
deckfred the imperfection of the rote of his belefe. Which 
j. Cor. iij. after the goodnes or badnes of it silfe bringeth forth 
other goode or bad frute. wherby the whole tre (that is to 
saye the whole manne) is first knowne of men in this lyfe,

of mercy, which live in Christ Jesu, manifestly admittynge 
theym vnto joye. Which man [fol. 20 a .J was never able, nether 
j. cor. y. to se, to heare, nor yet to ymmagion. So. Seynge thou 
sayst that he shall descende openly as he ascended, to geve 
this iudgement, thou belevest not that he is here with vs 
continualli? and yett he hym silfe sayeth, wheare two or thre 
ma._xviij. ult. are gaddered together in my name, theare am I 
in the middes of theym. Fa. Through his sprete he is with 
vs vnto the ende of the worlde. but for as moche as it is 
spretually, man yett beynge wrapped in this mortall flesshe, 
entangled with so manyfolde myseries, and saverynge all wayes 
erthely, can never come to the knowledge therof, vntill the 
tyme that he thorowe a stedfast belefe in god, and sure hope
