The principles of Christian Religion necessary to be knowen of all the faythful: set forth to the great profite in trayning vp of all youth, by Tho. Becon.

His onely begotten Sonne.

The Lord said vnto me, y^• art myn sōne, this day haue I begottē thee.

This is my welbeloued sonne, in whom I am well pleased.

Thou art Christ the sonne of the liuing God.

God hath so loued y^• worlde, that he gaue hys onely begotten sonne, that euery one y^• beleueth on him, may not perishe, but haue euerla∣sting life. For God sent not hys sonne into the world to condemne the world, but that y^• world should be saued by hym.

He that beleueth on hym, is not condemned: but hee that beleueth not, is already cōdemned, because hee hath not beleued on the name of the onely begottē sonne of God.

In this appeareth y^• loue of God toward vs, because y^• God sent hys onely begotten sonne into y^• world, that we might liue through hym.
