God forbid, that I shoulde reioyse, but in the crosse of our Lord Iesu Christ, Wher∣by the world is crucified vnto me, and I vnto the worlde. For in Christ Iesu neither cir¦cumcision auayleth any thyng at all, nor vncircumcision, but a newe creature.
God forbid, that I shoulde in anye thyng els reioyce, but in the crosse of my lorde Iesu Christe. The Gentiles, (I knowe) coumpte his crosse for a vilanie and reproche, the Iewes hate and enuie it, yet therin onlye put I all my glorie, whiche nothyng regarde worldly prayse, as one, to whome throughe baptisme beyng graffed into the bodie of Christe the worlde is deade, and contrary wyse I to the worlde, nor am I with aduersities ther∣of a fearde, nor with prosperities delited, nor passe vpon the displeasure, nor couet the commendacion, without all feare of worldly reproche, and without desyre of vaynglory. Christe onlye is for me sufficient both for al, and agaynst all. To whose profession, whether a man come, circumcised out of the stocke of the Iewes, or not circumcised out of the stocke of the Gentiles, it forceth not. Into whose bodye, whoso through fayth is trans∣fourmed, is sodaynely in suche sorte chaunged, that he is become a newe creature, and called regenerate. A button therfore for all worldely diffe∣rences. Whoso professeth Christe, let him nothyng els remember, but that he is a christian man.
Wherby the worlde is cru¦••••••ified vnto me, & I vnto the world.
