The texte.
Knowe ye not howe that, to whom soeuer ye commit your selues as seruauntes to obey, his seruauntes ye are, to whom ye obey: whether it be of synne vnto death, or of obedience vnto righteousnes?
Ye knowe both kyndes of seruice. Now is it partly in your powers to chose whiche ye wyll, for both together ye can not. The tyme was when thou stodest in a fredome to kepe thy selfe out of bondage, but synce thou hast freely made thy selfe another mannes, and hast begunne to be obe∣dient vnto him, the same must thou onely obey, whose seruaunt thou art become. They therfore whiche geue them selues vnto synne, and to synne become bondeslaues, the fruite of that theyr bondage is death. On the othersyde, suche as to Christ haue dedicated and geuen them selues, him must they obeye, whiche they shal do to their owne great cōmoditie. For by that theyr obedience nothyng shall Christ wynne, but therby get they them slues righteousnes, that is to wete, the wel agreyng and pleasant company of all vertues knitte together.
