The third Principle.

Q. What meanes is there for thee to escape this damnable estate?

A. Iesus Christ the eternall sonne of God, beeing made man, by his death vpon the crosse and by his righteousnes, hath perfectly alone by himselfe, ac∣complished all things that are needfull for the saluation of mankind.

1. Iesus Christ the eternall sonne of God,

* 1.1And the word was made flesh and dwelt among vs, and we sawe the glory there∣of, as the glory of the onely begotten (Sonne) of the Father full of grace and trueth.

2. Being made man.

* 1.2For he in no sort tooke the angels, but he tooke the seede of Abraham.

3. By his death vpon the crosse.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was broken for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was vpon him, and with his stripes we are healed.* 1.3

4. And by his righteousnes.

* 1.4For as by one mans disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one, shall many also be made righteous.

For he hath made him to be sinne for vs which knewe no sinne, that wee should be made the righteousnes of God in him.* 1.5

5. Hath perfectly

* 1.6Wherefore he is able also perfectly to saue them that come vnto God by him, see∣ing hee euer liueth to make intercession for them.

6. Alone by himselfe

* 1.7Neither is there saluation in any other, for among men there is giuen none other name vnder heauen, whereby we must be saued.

7. Accomplished all things needefull for the saluation of mankind.

And he is the reconciliation for our sinnes, and not for ours onely, but also for the sinnes of the whole worlde.* 1.8
