Christ was vpon the crosse whiche deliuered al hys electe from suche a sharpe miserable captiuitie He had in this battayle many strypes yea and loste hys life but his victory was so muche the greater Therfore when I loke vpon the sonne of god with a supernatural fayth and light so vnarmed naked geuen vp and alone with humilitie pacience liberalitie modestie gentlenes and with all other hys diuine vertues beating downe to the grounde al goddes enemies and making the soule of man so fayre and beautyfull I am forced to say that his victory and triumphe was merueylouse And therfore Christ deserued to haue this noble title Iesus of Nazareth king of the Iewes But if we will perticulerlie vnfold and see hys great victories let vs firste beholde howe he ouercame sinne w t his Innocencie and confounded pride with his humilitie Quenched all worldlie loue with hys charitie appeysed the wrath of his father with his mekenes turned hatred into loue with hys so many benyfites and godlie zele Christe hath not only ouercum sinne but rather he hath kylled the same in asmuche as he hath satisfied for it him selfe with the most holy sacrifice and oblacion of hys precious bodye in suffering most bitter and cruel death Also after an other sorte that is He geueth to al those that loue hym so muche spirit grace vertue and strength that they may resiste impugne and ouercome sinne not consent neyther suffer it to reigne in them He hath also vanquished sinne bicause he hath taken away the force of the same that is he hathe cancelled the lawe whiche was in euil men the occasion of sinne Therfore sinne hath no power agaynste theym that are with y e holy ghost vnited to Christ. In theim there is nothing worthy of damnacioÌ„ And although the dregges of Adam doe remayne that is our concupiscences which in dede be sinnes neuertheles they be not Imputed for sinnes yf we be truly planted in Christe It is true that Christe might haue taken away all our immoderate affeccions but he hath left them for the greater glory of hys father and for his owne greater triuÌ„ph As for an example When a prince fyghting w t his ennemyes which soÌ„time had y e soueraintie ouer his people subdewing theÌ„ may kil them yf he will yet he preserueth and saueth theym And wheras they were lordes ouer his people he maketh theym after to serue whom they before had rewled Nowe in suche a case the prince doth shewe hym selfe a greater conquerour in that he hath made theym whiche were rewlers to obey the subiectes to be lordes ouer them to whom they serued then yf he had vtterly distroyed theim vpon the conquest For nowe he leaueth continuall victory to theym whom he redeamed wheras otherwise thoccasion of victory was taken away where none were left to be the subiectes Euen so in lyke case Christe hath left in vs these concupiscences to thintente they should serue vs to the exercise of our vertues where first they did reigne ouer vs to thexercice of oure sinne And it may be plainly sene that wheras first they were suche impedimentes to vs y t we coulde not moue our selues towardes god nowe by Christ we haue so muche strength that not withstanding the force of theym we may assuredly walke to heauen And although the chyldren of god suÌ„time doo falle by frailtie into sum sinne yet that falling maketh them to humble theÌ„ selues and to reknowelege the goodnes of god and to cum to hym for refuge and helpe Lykewise Christ with hys death hath ouercum the prince of deuilles with all hys hoste and hath distroyed them all For as Paule sayeth this is verefied y t Christe should breake y e serpentes heade prophesied by GOD. And although the deuil tempte vs yet if by fayth we be planted in Christ we shall not perish but rather by his temptacion take greate force and might So it is euident that the triumph victory and glory of Christe is the greater hauing in suche sorte subdewed the deuyll that wheras he was prince and lorde of the worlde holding all creatures in captiuitie nowe Christe vseth him as an Instrument to punish the wicked to exercise make strong the electe of god in christian warre fare Christe likewise hath ouercum death in a more glorious manner yf it be possible because he hath not takeÌ„ it away but leuing vniuersally al subiect to the same He hath geuen so muche vertue and spirite that wheras afore we passed therto with great feare nowe we be bolde through the spirite for the sure hope of resurreccioÌ„ that we receyue it w t Ioie It is nowe no more bitter but swete no more feared but desired It is no death but life And also it hath pleased god that the infirmities and aduersities doo remayne to the sight of the world but the children of God are by Christ made so strong rightwise whole and sounde that the troubles of the worlde be comfortes of the spirite The passions of the fleshe are medicines of the soule For al maner thinges worketh to their commoditie and profite for they in spirite feele that god their father doth gouerne theym and disposeth all thinges for their benefite therfore they feele theym selues sure In persecucion they are quiet and peacefull in tyme of trouble they ar without werynes feares anxcieties suspicions miseries and finally all the good and euil of the world worketh to their commoditie Moreouer they see that the triumph of Christ hath ben so great that not only he hath subdewed and vanquished all our enemies and the power of theym but he hath ouerthrowne vanquished them after suche a sorte that al thinges serue to our helth he might and coulde haue taken theym all away but where then should haue beÌ„ our victorye palme crowne For wee dayly haue fightes in the flesshe and by the succour of grace haue continuall victories ouer sinne wherby we haue cause to glorifie god that by his sonne hath weakened our enemy the deuil and by hys spiryte geuith vs strength to vanquishe hys ofspringes So doe we knowelege daylie the great tryumphe of our Sauiour reioyce in our owne fightes the which we can no wise impute to any wisedome of thys worlde seing sinne to encrease by it And where worldlie wisedome most gouerneth there most sinne ruleth For as the world is enemy to god so also the wisedome therof is aduerse to god And therfore Christ hath declared discouered the same for folishnes And although he could haue taken awaye all worldlye wisedome yet he hath left it for his greater glorye and tryumphe of hys chosen vesselles For before wheras it was our ruler against god nowe by Christe we are serued of it for God as of a slaue in worldlye thinges Albeit in supernaturall thinges the same is not to be vnderstand And

geue me his holy spirit to teache me to auowe that Christ is the sauiour of the worlde and to vtter these wordes the lorde Iesus and finally to helpe myne infirmities and to intercede for me For I am mooste certayne suer that no creature in heauen nor earth is of power or can by any meane helpe me but god who is omnipotent almighty beneficyall and mercyfull wel willing and louing to all those that call and put their whole confidence and trust in hym And therfore I wil seke non other meanes nor aduocate but Christes holy spirite who is only the Aduocat and mediatour betwene god and man to helpe and relyue me But nowe what maketh me so bolde hardy to presume to cum to the lord with suche audacitie boldnes beyng so greate a Sinner trulye nothinge but hys owne woorde for he sayeth Cum to me al ye that labour and ar burdened and I shall refresshe you What gentle mercyfull coÌ„fortable wordes ar â—hese to all sinners were he not a frantick mad beastly folysh man that would runne for ayde helpes or refuge to any other creature What a most gracious comfortable and geâ—tle saying was this w t suche pleasant and swete wordes to allure his enemies to cuÌ„ vnto him Is there any worldlie prince or magistrate that woulde shewe suche clemencie mercie to their disobedient and rebellious subiectes hauyng offended theym I suppose they woulde not with suche woordes allure theÌ„ excepte it were to calle theym whom they can not take punishe theym beyng takeÌ„ But euen as Christe is Prince of Princes and lorde of lordes so his charitie mercy excedeth surmounteth all others Christ saith if carnall fathers do geue good giftes to their childreÌ„ wheÌ„ they aske them howe muche more shall your heauenly father being in substance al holie most highly good geue good giftes to all them that aske hym It is no smal nor litle gift that I require neyther thinke I my selfe worthy to receyue suche a noble gift being so ingrate vnkinde and wicked a chylde But when I behold the benignitie liberalitie mercy and goodnes of the lorde I I am encoraged boldened and stirred to aske suche a noble gift The lorde is so bountefull and lyberall that he will not haue vs satisfyed and contented with one gyft neyther to aske simple and small giftes And therfore he promiseth and bindeth him selfe by hys worde to geue good and beneficiall giftes to all them that aske hym with true fayth without whiche nothing can be doen acceptable or pleasing to god For fayth is the foundacion and grounde of all other giftes vertues and graces and therfore I wil saye Lord encreace my fayth For this is the life euerlastynge lord that I must beleue the to be the true god whom thou didest sende Iesu Christ. By this fayth I am assured and by thys assurance I fele the remission of my sinnes this is it that maketh me bold this is it that coÌ„forteth me this is it that quencheth all dispayre I knowe O my lorde thy eyes looke vpoÌ„ my fayth Saynt Paule sayeth we be iustified by the fayth in Christe not by the deades of the lawe For if rightwisenes cum by the lawe then Christ died in vayne S.
