Chapter to the Corinthians the first Epistle CHriste is risen from the dead and become the firste fruites of them that slepte For by a manne came death and by a manne came the resurreccion of the dead For as by Adam all dye euen so by Christe shall all be made alyue but euery manne in his owne ordre The firste is Christe then they that are Christes at his commyng Then commeth the ende when he hath delyuered vp the kyngdome to God the father when he hath put downe all rule and all authoritie and power For he must reygne till he haue putte all his enemyes vnder his feete The laste enemy that shall be destroyed is death For he hath put all thinges vnder his feete But when he sayeth all thinges are put vnder him it is manifest that he is excepted whiche did put all thinges vnder hym When all thynges are subdued vnto hym then shall the sonne also hymselfe be subiecte vnto hym that put all thynges vnder him that God may be all in all Els what doe they which are baptized ouer the dead if the dead ryse not at all Why are they then baptized ouer them Yea and why stand we alwaye then in ieoperdie By our reioysing which I haue in Christ Iesu our Lord I dye dayly That I haue fought with beastes at Ephesus after the maner of men what auauntageth it me if the dead ryse not againe Let vs eate and drynke for to morowe we shall dye Be not ye deceyued euill wordes corrupt good maners Awake truely out of slepe and sinne not For some haue not the knowledge of God I speake this to youre shame But some manne will say howe aryse the dead with what body shall they come Thou foole that whiche thou sowest is not quickened excepte it dye And what sowest thou Thou sowest not that body that shal be but bare corne as of weate or of some other but God geueth it a body at his pleasure to euery seede his owne body All fleshe is not one maner of fleshe but there is one maner of fleshe of mē an other maner of fleshe of beastes an other of fishes and an other of birdes There are also celestiall bodyes and there are bodyes terrestriall But the glory of the celestiall is one and the glory of the terrestrial is an other There is one maner glory of the sunne and an other glory of the moone and an other glory of the starres For one starre differeth from an other in glory So is the resurreccion of the deade It is sowen in corrupcion it riseth agayne in incorrupcion It is sowen in dishonoure it ryseth agayne in honoure It is sowen in weakenes it riseth againe in power It is sowen a naturall body it ryseth agayne a spirituall bodie There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body as it is also written the first man Adam was made a lyuing soule and the last Adam was made a quicknyng spirite Howebeit that is not fyrst which is spirituall but that whiche is naturall and then that which is spirituall The first man is of the earth earthy The seconde manne is the Lorde from heauen heauenly As is the earthy suche are they that are earthy And as is the heauenly such are they that are heauenly And as we haue borne the image of the earthy so shal we beare the ymage of the heauenly This saie I brethren that fleshe and bloud can not enherite the kingdome of God Neither doth corrupcion inherite vncorrupcion Beholde I shewe you a mistery We shal not al slepe but we shall al be chaunged and that in a momente in the twynkelyng of an iye by the laste trumpe For the trumpe shal blowe the dead shal rise incorruptible and we shal be chaunged For this corruptible must put on incorrupcion this mortal must put on immortalitie When this corruptible hath put on incorrupcion this mortal hath put on immortalitie then shal be brought to passe the saying that is writtē Death is swalowed vp in victory Death where is thy sting Hell where is thy victory The sting of death is synne the strēgth of sinne is the law But thākes be vnto God which hath geuen vs victory through our lord Iesus Christ Therfore my deare brethrē be ye steadfast vnmouable alwaies riche in the worke of the lord forasmuch as ye know how that your labour is not in vaine in the lord The lesson ended then shal the priest saye Lorde haue mercy vpon vs. Christ haue mercy vpon vs. Lorde haue mercy vpon vs. ¶ Oure father which art in heauen c.

And yet not three Lordes but one Lorde For like as we be compelled by the christian veritie to acknowledge euery person by himselfe to be God and Lorde So are we forbidden by the Catholike religion to saye there be three Gods or thee Lordes The father is made of none neither created nor begottē The sonne is of the father alone not made nor created but begotten The holy gost is of the father and of the sonne neyther made nor created nor begotten but proceding So there is one father not three fathers one sonne not three sonnes one holy gost not three holy gostes And in this trinitie none is afore nor after other none is greater nor lesse then other But the whole three persons be coeternall together and coequall So that in all thinges as it is afore sayed the vnitie in trinitie and the trinitie in vnitie is to be wurshipped He therfore that will be saued must thus thinke of the trinitie Furthermore it is necessarye to euerlastyng saluacion that he also beleue rightly in the incarnacion of our Lorde Iesu Christe For the right fayth is that we beleue confesse that our Lorde Iesus Christe the sonne of God is God and manne God of the substaunce of the father begotten before the worldes and manne of the substaunce of his mother borne in the worlde Perfecte God and perfecte manne of a reasonable soule and humayne fleshe subsisting Equall to the father as touchyng his Godhead and inferior to the father touchyng his manhode Who although he be God and manne yet he is not two but one Christe One not by conuersion of the Godhead into fleshe but by takyng of the manhode into God One altogether not by confusion of substaunce but by vnitie of person For as the resonable soule and fleshe is one manne So God and man is one Christe Who suffered for our saluacion descended into hell rose agayne the thirde daye from the dead He ascended into heauen he sitteth on the righthande of the father God almightie from whence he shall come to iudge the quicke and dead At whose comming all men shall ryse againe with theyr bodyes and shall geue accompte of theyr owne workes And they that haue done good shall goe into lyfe euerlasting and they that haue done euill into euerlasting fyre This is the Catholyke fayth whiche excepte a manne beleue faythfully he cannot be saued Glory be to the father and to the sonne and to the holy gost As it was in the beginnyng is nowe and euer shal be worlde without ende Amen ⧠⧠THVS ENdeth the ordre of Mattyns and Euensong through the whole yere ⸫ ⧠⧠⧠⧠THE INTROITES ⧠Collectes Epistles and Gospels to be vsed at the celebracion of the Lordes supper and holye Communion throughe the yeare with proper Psalmes and lessons for diuers feastes and dayes ¶ The first Sonday in Aduente BLessed is that manne that
