¶Two kyndes of crosses. Cap. ii.

THERE BE two kyndes of crosses, the oone a straunge crosse, the other our owne, the one of the faythefull, the other of the wycked. for the vnfeythful be pu∣nished, that they may be an exam∣ple of theyr owne iniquytie, and that they be perpetually condem∣ned:

but the feythful be punished, that they maye be made stronge, and that the lorde be gloryfied in them. So strange punishementes be a warninge to put the faythful in mynde of the good wyll of the lorde. For the lorde doth punyshe some in this lyfe, that he may pro∣uoke suche as maye be made hole to repentaunce, as the scripture saythe:* 1.1 When the mocker or scor∣ner is punyshed, the vnlerned is made wyser.* 1.2 So the angell dydde shewe Abraham, what shulde be∣come of the Sodomites, that he myght teache his chyldren the iu∣gement of god. Also Christe saith,* 1.3 that all shal peryshe, as they were kylled of Pylate, if that they doo not repente.
