¶ Then when the chyld is come to discre∣tion, let hym be induced to knowe what god is.

GOd is myght, wysedome, and infinite goodnesse, without beginninge & with out endyng, truth, vnchangeable, iust, and mercyful, only god in thre persons the fa∣ther, the son and the holy ghost, in whō al thynges be, by whom al thynges be made and created. And by whom all thynges be gyuen to vs, and in the lyfe to come.

¶ It is also necessary to knowe what man is.

¶ Man is created after the lykenes of the Image of God. And throughe the sinne of our fyrst father Adam, is made pore, vyle wretched, ignorant, inconstant, frayle, and redy to sin, ful of Ipocrisie, and vainglory, and redy to fall into eternall dampnation. All this folowethe after that we are con∣ceaued and borne into this worlde.

☞ A godly rule of the true and Christian religion.
