fastinge lyke almes geuynge He nothynge regardeth mens tradicions diuersites of sectes long garmentes outwarde appearaunce their clensynge ne● all their ypocrisie He goeth into the temple ouerthroweth casteth downe powreth out euery thynge that is to be solde in the temple he dryueth the byers and sellers out of the temple with a whippe For the temple was ordeyned for generall prayer thankesgeuing and preachynge and not for choppinge and chaun gynge or other suche lyke thynges These thre poyntes doth he teach vs diligently to obserue First that we obteyne remission of synnes true righteousnes euerlastinge lyfe onely thorw hym and by hys passion and death and els by none other meane For he is the onely mediatoure prest intercessoure comforter the onely righteousnesse satisfacion raunsome santifyeng the onely perpetuall sacrifice the suertye of grace and saluacion Speciall testimonies hereof hast thou Johan iii. vi xiiii and .xvi. Secondly that we can not serue and pleace God with exterior sacrifices or any outward pompe but with suche workes as proceade of loue mercy And thirdly that all the children of God are bounde to kepe them selues from the workes of darekenesse and to applye them to lyue in righteousnes and in the lighte And herein also is comprehended all godlynes that is all right good Christen workes So whan he had taught all righteousnes and discloysed and ouerthrowen all ypocrisye in religion he offred vp hym selfe vpon the crosse for the remissyon of all oure synnes For wyllingly paciently put he him selfe in to the handes of hys enemy●s and of his betrayer suffred him selfe to be taken to be bounde to beled from one iudge to another to be langhed to scorne cried out vpon to be spytted on and at the last to be adiudged vnto death to be scourged to be crowned with a crown of thorne He himselfe bare hys owne crosse to the place of execucion where he was crucified hanged vp betwene the murthurers Then lyued he in greate payne from the sixte houre vntyll the nyenth At the last he cried It is fynished father in to thy handes commende I my spr●te thus offred he him self for oure synnes and dyed that we myghte lyue But soone after folowed the thinges wherby the frute of Christes passyon might be perceaued For the vayle which in the temple se●arated the holy from the moost holy dyd rent from the toppe tyll the botome wherby Christ testified that now with his death all ceremonies fig● ratyue thinges were at an ende and nomore of value that the waye to eternall saluation was opened that all thinges significatyue in the tabernacle in sacrifices rytes and obseruaunces were nowfulfilled and abrogate that now the bare onely cross of our Lorde Jesus Christ is al together vnto the faythfull that the hele of the virgines sede is well troden vpon his flesh well rente and slayne but that yet also in the meane reason he hath troden the serpent vpon the head Therfore dyd the deed also aryse and appeared vnto certayne at Hierusalem For the death of Christ is oure life The erthquaked the stones harst asunder For the preachinge of the death of the sonne of God hath altered the whole worlde and many hard stonye hertes are moued to repentaunce faith and good workes But whan the syde of the deed body of Christ was opened with the speare ▪ and the rocke as zachary saieth was dygged vp ▪ there ranne out water and bloude declarynge manifestly therby that vnto vs out of the death of Christ foloweth life and purifyenge For water clēseth in the bloud is the lyfe of man And with the bloude of Christ is all bloude stanched and now is Christes bloude onely avaylable beynge sprenkled thorowe fayth in oure hertes This oblacion and passion of Christ the rawnsome for the synne of the whole world was done in the. xviii yeare of the Empyre of Tiberius rekenynge from the begynnyng of the worlde 4007 yeres the .xxv. daye of Marche So the whole body of Jesu was taken downe from the crosse and honorably buryed and on the thirde daye after he rose vp agayne so that his soule came agayne to the body and his very flesh was raysed vp from death how be it now nomore mortall and passible but glorified For he is the first in the resurrection of the deed For lyke as by one man came deathe so by one man must come the resurrection of the deed And lyke as in Adam we all dyed in body and soule so shall we be all together restored agayne to lyfe in Christ Jesu This hope vnto lyfe wolde the Lorde prynte substancially in vs with the resurrection And therfore after his resurrection he contynued fortye dayes wyth his disciples that he mightwell instructe them of his resurrection and that they shuld haue no doulte therin So whan he had shewed and declared vnto them his very resurrection dyuerse wayse and had perfourmed all that the father commaunded him to fynde he ascended vp vnto heauē with body and soule fro moūt Oliuere in the sight of his disciples and is set at the righte hand of God there to remayne corporally vntyll the last daye in the which he shall ▪ come agayn bodelye to iudge the quycke deed And all suche as haue walked in faith shall he take to him with body soule in to heauen lyke as he himselfe is receaued in to heauen And shall with body and soule condemne all them that haue walked in the waye of the olde serpente and haue not conuerted from vnrighteousnesse to the righteousnesse in Christ And thus shall saluacion be perfectly fynished and gods chyldren shall lyue eternally with God thorow Jesus Christ To whome be prayse for euer Amen ☞ That also the electe Apostles preached thys olde fayth and declared that all saluacion is ▪ onely in Christ THus thorow Christ Jesus is al fulfilled that the prophetes prophecied of hym a fore thus is he become y ● saluacion of all faithfull beleuers euen the lampe of God whiche hath bene sacrificed sens the beginninge of the world that is this is he whose power and delyueraunce

Myles Couerdale ¶ Myles Couerdale to all Christen readers wysheth grace mercy and peace from God the father thorowe our Lorde and onely sauior Jesus Christ LIke as the almightie eternall God thre in personnes and one in substaunce of his tendre mercye and loue not onely created man at the beginnyng after his owne symilytude and lykenesse but also wh●n he was lost most graciously redemed him and brought him out of bo●dage Euen so whan man neither regardyng his wonderfull creacion nor his moost deare redempcyon gropeth in darkenes in vyce and blyndnes lyeth in the deuyls prison and goeth in the waye of damnacion God alwaye setteth vp his light before him sendeth the message of his worde vnto him sheweth him what case he is in geueth hym warnyng openeth the prison doore calleth him out of the deuyls seruice telleth him what daunger it is to be his bōdman or seruant vnto synne This doth God alway afore he punishe and plage the worlde This I saye hath bene the propertie of God sens the beginnyng as the storyes and prophecies of all the holy Byble do testifye And though we had no writyng of Gods actes in tymes paste yet hath he practised this same his wonderfull worke of mercye vpon vs. So that lyke as we must nedes confesse that we are created of God and redemed by his onely mercye in his deare sonne Jesus Christ So can we not denye but we haue hearde his holy message had no lesse preachynges warnynges of daungers to come then other haue had afore our dayes Yet euen the same mercyfull God that sente No● to preache righteous vnto the wicked world and conuerted the Niniuites by his word in the ministraciou of the prophet Jonas hath done euen so with vs in euery condicion And some thankes be vnto him therfore hath he brought out of darkenes into his wonderfull light and out of the deuyls seruyce into the kyngdome of his deare sonne But alas and wo to this vnthankeful worlde For lyke as a great nombre that be in prison of Satan wyl not come furth when thei are called and the dore set open but go on styll stomblyng in darkenes whan the lanterne of light is offred them Euen so if any playe a wyse mans part do as he is warned by Goddes worde he shall haue a sorte of apyshe people a nombre of desertes and scornefull mockers whiche because the man wyll not daunce in the deuyls morys with them nor kepe theyr companye in the bondage of synne and vice neither runne with thē vnto like confusyon as S. Peter calleth it laugh him to scorne and bleare out theyr tonges at him euen lyke fooles and cockescombes of the worlde And lyke as whan a poore wretche commeth out of prison he shal haue mo to stāde gasyng and gapyng vpon him then to do him good or to help him to his fees Euen so now that god of his mercy hath called vs out of Satans prison and frō the scole of false doctryne my Lordes foole with his companyo●s standeth staryng vpon vs and mocketh vs because we syt not styll with other prisoners There goeth a felowe of the new learnyng saieth one there is one of these newe fangled gospellers sayeth another that is one of the newe brethren sayth the third he foloweth the newe fayth c. Wherfore in consyderacion hereof I haue here set furth this booke partly because it sheweth the antiquitie and auncient age of oure holy Christen fayth and partly to geue occasion vnto all suche as haue receyued it not to be ashamed of it nor to shrynke frō it for any opprobrious mockage or scornefull derysyon in thys worlde The Apostle sayth that the preachyng or worde of Chrystes crosse is folishenes to them that perishe and that the thyng whiche appertayneth to the spirite of God is folyshenes to a carnally mynded man Wherby lyke as we may learne that it is no newe thing to be mocked and stared vpon for holdyng with the doctrine that maketh so muche of Christes death and the true worshippyng of God in the spirit Euen so may we se to the syngular comfort of our conscience that no manne mocketh vs for it but suche as perish and are earnally minded And that for all their derision and scornyng It is yet the power of god i. Corinthians i. And belongeth to his holy spirit .i. Corinthians .i. And is not oure owne doctrine neither of any other mans makyng This is nowe to vs a cōfort and consolacion But because the worlde is angrye with vs for oure fayth and geueth vs so euyl reporte for teachyng it It shalbe expedient for vs to declare what fayth is and what fayth we meane when we make mēcion therof Fyrst because we may not describe it after oure owne iudgement we wyll rehearse the wordes of the Apostle whiche writyng to the Hebrewes sayeth after this maner Fayth is a substance of thynges to be hoped for an euidence or certayntie of thynges whiche do not appeare By the whiche diffinicion it is manyfest that when we set furth or teache this fayth we meane no vayne fayth no false opinion of fayth no fonde ymaginacion of fayth no deade fayth ●o ydle fayth but a substancial thyng euen a sure belefe of thynges that are to be hoped for and a profe experience or knowledge o● thinges that are not sene This faith then is the iustrument wherby we fele and are certayne of heauenly thynges that oure corporall eye can not se Nowe because none other vertue can so apprehende the mercy of god nor certifye vs so effectually of oure saluacion as this liuyng fayth doeth therfore hath the scripture imputed oure iustification before God onely vnto fayth among all other vertues Not without other vertues folowyng but without any other worke or deede iustifiyng This is the fayth of Christ whiche all the scripture speaketh of This is the fayth that saint Paul preacheth to iustifye in the sight of God as sainct James teacheth that workes iustifye in the sight of menne and that it is but a dead fayth whiche hath no workes This is the fayth without the whiche it is impossile to please God and of the whiche whatsoeur proceadeth not is synne This is the fayth wherby God purifieth our heartes and whose ende is saluacion This is the fayth that worketh by charitie or godly loue and is of value before God This is the fayth wherby the holy fathers whiche were afore Christes in●●rnacion dyd in spiri● eate and drynke and enioy the same mercy of God in Christ that we are
