Verely he hath suffred our in [...]r [...]ities / and Esa. 53 hath sustayned our so­rowes / *& we haue estemed hym as [...]eprofe / and stryken of god / and brought loue.

For he hath wounded hym self for our wyckednes / he was afflyc­ted for our offences / on hym rested the discipline of peace / and were made hole by his grefe / all we wandered as shepe / euery one went of his way / and the lorde toke vpon hym the wickednes of vs all.

And the lorde is made a socour Psa. 9. to the poore / a defender / alwayes redy in the tyme of tribulation.

They shalbe his people / and he Apo. 12 their god / & god shall wype away euery teare frome theyr eyes / and deth shal nat be any more / nor mornyng / nor cryeng / nor sorowe / af­ter that the fyrst be passed.

If god be on our partie / who can Rom. 8 preuayle agaynst vs / whiche hath nat spared his own sōne / but hath delyuered him for vs al / how than hath nat he giuen vnto vs al thinges with him.

who shall therfore departe vs from the loue of Christ / shall trouble / or myserye / or hungre / or ne­cessyte / or peryll / or persecutyon? or the swerde.

For I am sure that neither deth [Page] [...]or lyfe / nor Angelles / nor rule / [...]or power / nor thynges presente / nor thynges to come / nor strength nor heyght / nor depnes / nor any [...]cature / shall be able to departe vs from the charyte of god / which is in Christ Iesu our lorde.

Se what maner of loue the fa­ther Iohn. 5 hathe shewed vnto vs / for to be named the sonnes of god / and so to be in dede.

For the sperite of god doth beate Roma. 8. uytnes vnto our spyryte / that we be the sonnes of god / if we be sonnes / than be we heyres of god / & coheres with Iesu Christ / so y ^t we do suffre for to be glorifyed.

Christe hath redemed vs fro [...] Gala. 3 the curse of the lawe / and was a cursed for vs.

For if thrugh the synne of on death reigneth / moche more the that receiue thabundaūce of gra [...] and the rewarde of tyghtwy sen [...] in lyfe / shall reigne through The [...] Christe.
