For it is God that commaunded the lighte to shyne oute of darkennesse whiche hathe shyned in oure hartes for to geue the lighte of the knowledge of the glorye of God in the face of Iesus Christe We haue this treasure in earthen vesselles that the excellente power of it might appeare to be of God and not of vs. Wherefore we are not wearyed but thoughe oure outewarde manne peryshe yet the inwarde manne is renewed daye by daye whyle wee looke not on the thynges whyche are sene but on the things which are not sene For thinges whiche are seene are temporall but things which are not seene are eternall Wherfore hence foorth know we no man after the fleshe In so much thoughe we haue knowen Christ after the flesh now hence foorth know we him so no more For whye the grace of God is â—hed on vs abundantelye in all wisedome and perceueraunce And hath opened vnto vs the misterye of his wyll accordinge to his pleasure and purposed the same in him selfe to haue it declared when the time were full come that all thinges bothe the thinges which are in heauen and also the thinges whyche are in earthe shoulde be gathered together euen in Christ.
