¶ The .iiii. Chapter.

THerfore seinge that we have soche an [ A] office / evē as mercy is come on vs / we faynte not: but have cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestie / and walke not in craf∣tines / nether corrupte we the worde of God: but walke in open trueth / and reporte oure sel¦ves to every mannes conscience in the sight of God.

✚ Yf oure Gospell be yet hyd / it is hid amō¦ge* 1.1 them that are lost / in whom y^e god of this worlde hath blynded the myndes of them which beleve not / lest the light of y^e glorious gospell of Christ which is the ymage of god / [ B] shuld shyne vnto them.

✚ For we preache not oure selves / but Christ Iesus to be the Lorde / and oure selves youre

servaūtes / for Iesus sake. For it is God that* 1.2 commaūded the light to shyne out of darck∣nes / which hath shyned in oure hertes / for to geve the light of the knowledge of the glo¦rie of God / in the face of Iesus Christ.

But we have this treasure in erthē vessels / that y^e excellent power of it myght appere to be of God / & not of vs. We are troubled on every side / yet are we not with out shyft. We are in povertie: but not vtterly without som∣what. We are persecuted: but are not forsakē. [ C] We are cast doune: neverthelesse we perisshe not. And we allwayes beare in oure bodyes the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus / that the lyfe of Iesu myght appere in oure bodyes. ⊢

For we which live / are alwayes delyvered vnto deeth for Iesus sake / y^t the lyfe also of Ie¦su myght appere in oure mortall flesshe. So then deeth worketh in vs / & lyfe in you. ✚ ✚ Seynge then y^t we have y^e same sprete of fayth / accordinge as it is writtē: I beleved & therfore have I spoken. We also beleve / and therfore speake. For we knowe that he which raysed vp the Lorde Iesus / shall rayse vp vs* 1.3 also by the meanes of Iesus / & shall seet vs with you. For all thinges do I for youre sa∣kes / that the plenteous grace by thankes gevē of many / maye redounde to the prayse of god.

Wherfore we are not weried / but though oure vttward man perisshe / yet the inwarde man is renewed daye by daye. For oure exce∣dinge [ D] tribulacion which is momentany and light prepareth an excedinge and an eternall

wayght of glorye vnto vs / whill we loke not on the thynges whic hare sene / but on y^• thyn¦ges which are not sene. For thinges which are sene / are temporall: but thynges which are not sene / are eternall / ⊢
