The Epistle.
SVch trust haue wee through Christ to God∣ward, not that we are sufficient of our selues to thinke any thing as of our selues: but if wee bee able vnto any thing, the same com∣meth of God, which hath made vs able to minister the new Testament, not of the let∣ter, but of the spirit: For the letter killeth, but the spirit giueth life. If the ministration of death, through the letters figured in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not beholde the face of Moses for the glorie of his con̄tenance (which glory is done a way:) why shall not the ministration of the spirit bee much more glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glorious, much more doeth the ministration of righteousnes exceed in glory.
