made thee & ordayned thee? Thou O Lorde God, art our father and redemer.

Haue we not all one father? Hath not God made vs? no hy doth euery one of vs then despise hys owne brother?

Should not a sonne honour his father, and a seruaunt hys master? If I bee now a Father, where is myne honour? If I bee a Lorde, where is my feare?

Ye haue not receaued the spirite of bondage to feare any more, but ye haue receaued y spirite of adop∣tion, wherby we cry, Abba (that is to say) father. The same spirite cer∣tifieth our spirite, that we are the sonnes of God. If we bee sonnes, then are we also heyres, the heyres I meane of God, & fellow heyres annexed with Christ.

Which art in Heauen.

Heauē is my seate▪ and the earth

is my footestoole.

The Lorde hath prepared his seate in heauen.

Our God is in heauen, hee doth whatsoeuer pleaseth hym.

Unto thee lift I vp myne eyes, which dwellest in the heauens.

Call no man father vpon earth, for one is your father, which is in heauen.
