CHAP. IIII. 1 Hee bringeth in Christes example, and applieth it 6 to the mortifying of the flesh, especially commending Charitie: 12 And so intreateth of patience. 17 That it is necessarie that correction beginne at the Church.


1   Forasmuch note then as Christ hath suffered for vs in the flesh, arme your selues likewise with the same minde, which is, that he which hath suffered in the flesh, hath ceased from sinne,


2   That he hence forward should liue (as much time as note remaineth in the flesh) not after the lusts of men, but after the will of God.


3    note noteFor it is sufficient for vs that we haue sp&ebar;t the time past of þe; life, after the note lust of the Gentiles, walking in wantonnes, lustes, drunkenes, in gluttonie, drinkings, & in abominable idolatries.


4    noteWherein it seemeth to them note strange, that yee runne not with them vnto the same excesse of riot: therefore speake they euill of you,


5   Which shall giue accounts to him, that is readie to iudge quicke and dead.


6    noteFor vnto this purpose was the Gospell God beginneth at his. preached also vnto the dead, that they might bee condemned, according to men in the flesh, but might liue according to God in the spirit.


7    noteNow the ende of all things is at hand. Be ye therefore sober, and watching in prayer.


8    noteBut aboue all thinges haue feruent loue among you: note for loue shall couer the multitude of sinnes.


9    noteBe ye note harberous one to another, without grudging.


10    note noteLet euery man as hee hath receiued the gift, minister the same one to another, note as good disposers of the manifolde grace of God.


11    noteIf any man speake, let him speake as the wordes of God. If any man minister, let him do it as of the abilitie which God ministreth, that God in al things may be glorified through Iesus Christ, to whome is prayse and dominion for euer, and euer, Amen.


12    noteDearely beloued, thinke it not note strange note concerning the firie triall, which is among you to proue you, as though some strange thing were come vnto you:


13    noteBut reioyce, in asmuch as ye are partakers of Christs suffrings, that when his glory shall appeare, ye may be glad and reioyce.


14    note noteIf yee be railed vpon for the Name of Christ, blessed are ye: for the note spirit of glory, and of God resteth vpon you: which on their part is euill spoken of: but on your part is glorified.


15    noteBut let none of you suffer as a murtherer, or as a thiefe, or an euil doer, or as a busibodie in other mens matters.


16   But if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not bee ashamed: but let him glorifie God in this behalfe.


17    noteFor the time is come, that iudgement must beginne at the house of God. noteIf it first beginne at vs, what shall the ende be of them which obey not the Gospel of God?


18    noteAnd if the righteous scarcely bee saued,

-- --

Feede Gods flocke. where shall the vngodly and the sinner appeare?


19    noteWherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit their soules to him in well doing, as vnto a faithfull Creator.
