What then? shal we sinne, because we are not vnder the law, but vnder grace? God forbid.
And yet nowe God forbid, that in the meane season any manne should this wyse take my wordes, when I sayd, ye were free from the lawe, ei∣ther to thynke, that forasmuche as the lawe is abolished, ye may do as ye liste, or that Goddes free goodnes whiche hath pardoned all our olde offences, hath also therwith frely geuen vs libertie to do euil:
But rather so muche the more ought we to abstaine from synne, because we are now nomore like slaues cōpelled to do wel, as by a law, but are as childrē are wont to be, wt desertes & loue prouoked therto. So that your bondage is chaunged, and not vtterly taken away. In suche sorte haue ye geuen ouer the seruice of the lawe, that ye nowe are become Christes seruauntes, whose seruice is all weale and blisse.
