In so great danger of the faithful vnder the iurisdiccion of Antichristes abho∣minacion with his .ii. hornes, and vnlawfull vsurped power vpon bodye and soule, vtterly against the worde of god, whiche is the onely comforte of al faith∣full soules, is it necessary that some comforte come vnto them from heauen a∣boue, whiche the lambe sendeth vnto all true christians, thorowe the holy gos∣pell, which the spirite of God writeth in their hartes to beleue stedfastlye that it can not be otherwyse in this worlde, but that all they whiche wyll folow Christ must beare the crosse euen vnto death as Christe the innocent lambe dyd, but afterwardes shall they see nothing but euerlastinge saluacion merited & pur∣chased vnto them thorowe the passion and death of Christe to the iustificacion and merite of eternall saluacion, of all the electe. Whiche comforte shall be muche greater in their soules in the kynkdome of Christe, than is possible for al the merites of man to deserue or obteyne: And speciallye at suche tyme as the glorified bodye shall be ioyned and vnited againe vnto the blissed soule, after the latter daie. And therfore the good workes of the faithful as thei doe not goe before their faith and loue, but are onely the frutes of them, euen so shall they not preuent the merite of Christ for all electe from euerlastinge, but as the spirit of Christ saythe, they folowe and come after them, whan they haue obteyned rest and peace thorowe the free grace and mercye of God, and thorowe the merite of Christes rightuousnes, after this, I saye, thorowe faithe haue folowed good workes out of an humble and obedient heart, whiche workes the lorde wyl gra∣ciouslye crowne as his gyftes, and receyue and rewarde them as acceptable vnto him.
