¶ The .ii. Chapter.

[ A]

ANd hath quickened you also that were deed in treaspasse & synne / in y^• which* 1.1 in tyme passed ye walked / acordynge to the course of this worlde / and after the gover¦ner that ruleth in the ayer / the sprete y^• now

worketh in the children of vnbelefe / amonge which we also had oure conversacion in tyme past / in the lustes of oure flesshe / and fullfil¦led the will of the flesshe and of the mynde: and were * 1.2 naturally the children of wrath / e∣ven as wel as other.

But God which is rich in mercy thorow his greate love wherwith he loved vs / even when we were deed by synne / hath quickened vs together in Christ (for by grace are ye sa∣ved) & hath raysed vs vp together & made vs* 1.3 sitte together in hevenly thynges thorow [ A] Christ Iesus / for to shewe in tymes to come the excedynge ryches of his grace / in kynd∣nes to vs warde in Christ Iesu. For by grace are ye made safe thorowe fayth / and that not of youre selves. For it is the gyfte of God / & commeth not of workes / lest eny man shuld bost him silfe. For we are his worckmanship¦pe / created in Christ Iesu vnto good wor∣kes / vnto the which god ordeyned vs before / that we shuld walke in them.

Wherfore remēber y^• ye beynge in tyme pa¦ssed gētyls in y^e flesshe / & were called vncircū∣cision to thē which are called circūcisiō in the flesshe / which circūcision is made by hondes: Remēber I saye / y^• ye were at that tyme w^t ou¦te Christ / & were reputed aliantes from the cōmen welth of Israel / & were straūgers frō the * 1.4 testamente of promes / & had no hope / & were with out god in this worlde. But now [ C] in Christ Iesu / ye which a whyle agoo were farre of / are made nye by y^e bloude of Christ.

For he is oure peace / whych hath made of both one / and hath broken doune the * 1.5 wall y^t was a stoppe bitwene vs / and hath also put awaye thorow his flesshe / the cause of hatred (that is to saye / the lawe of commaundemen¦tes [ D] contayned in the lawe written) for to ma∣ke of twayne one newe mā in him silfe / so ma¦kynge peace: and to recōcile both vnto god in one body thorow his crosse / and slewe hat∣red therby: and came and preached peace to you which were a farre of / and to them that were nye. For thorow him we both have an o∣pen waye in / in one sprete vnto che father.

✚ Now therfore ye are no moare straūgers & foreners: but citesyns with the saynetes / and of the housholde of god: and are bilt apon the foundacion of the apostles and prophetes / Ie¦sus Christ beynge the heed corner stone / in whom every bildynge coupled togedder / gro∣weth vnto an holy temple in y^e lorde / in whō* 1.6 ye also are bilt togedder / & made an habitaciō for god in the sprete. ⊢
