The IIII. Chapter.

A   Therfore seynge we haue soch an office (euen as mercy is come vpon vs) we faynte not, but cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestye, and walke not in craftines: nether corruppe we the worde of God but open the trueth, and reporte oure selues to euery mans conscyence in the sighte of God.

Yf oure Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost: amonge whom the God of this worlde note hath blynded þe; myndes of them which beleue not, that þe; lighte of the Gospell of the glory of Christ ( note which is the ymage of God) shulde not shyne vnto them. For we preach not o&highr; selues, but Iesus Christ to be the LORDE, and oure selues youre seruauntes for Iesus sake.

B   For God note that c&obar;maunded the light to shyne out of darcknesse, note hath geuen a cleare shyne in oure hertes, þt; by vs þe; light of þe; knowlege of the glory of God mighte come forth, in the face of Iesus Christ.

But this treasure haue we in note earthen vessels, that þe; power which excelleth might be of God, and not of vs. We are troubled on euery syde, yet are we not without shift. We are in pouertie, but not vtterly without somwhat. We are persecuted, but we are not forsaken. We are oppressed, neuertheles we perish not. noteWe allwayes beare aboute in oure body the dyenge of the LORDE Iesus þt; the life also of the LORDE Iesus might appeare in oure body. noteFor we which lyue, are alwayes delyuered vnto death for Iesus sake, that the life also of Iesus might appeare in oure mortall flesh.

C   Therfore is death now mightie in vs, but life in you. But seynge that we haue the same sprete of faith (acordinge as it is wrytten: note I beleued, and therfore haue I spok&ebar;.) we also beleue, ∧ therfore we speake, for we knowe that he, which raysed vp þe; LORDE Iesus, shal rayse vs vp also by þe; meanes of Iesus, and shal set vs with you. For all thinges do I for youre sakes, note that the pl&ebar;teous grace by the th&abar;kesgeuynge of many, maye redounde to the prayse of God. Therfore are we not weery, but though o&highr; outwarde man be corrupte, yet the inwarde is renewed daye by daye. noteFor oure trouble, which is but temporall and lighte, worketh an exceadinge and an eternall weighte of glorye vnto vs, which loke not on the thinges that are sene, but on them which are not sene. For þe; thinges which are sene, are temporall: but the thinges that are not sene, are eternall.
