Chap. IIII. That according as so glorious a ministerie requireth, he liueth and preacheth sincerely. 7 the vvhich glorie his Aduersaries can not count vaine, considering his persecutions, because persecution is to Gods glorie, and to our humilitie and hope, and meritorious of increase of grace in this life, and of most glorious bodies and soules aftervvard.

1   Therfore hauing this ministration: according as vve haue obteined mercie, vve faile not,

2   but vve renounce the secrete things of dishonestie, not walking in crastines, nor09Q1171 adulterating the vvord of God, but in manifestation of the truth commending our selues to euery conscience of men

-- --

before God.

3   And if our Gospel be also hidde, in them that perish it is hidde,

4   in vvhom the God of this vvorld hath blinded the mindes of the infidels, that the illumination of the Gospel of the glorie of Christ vvho is the image of God, might not shine to them. note

5   For vve preache not our selues, but Iesvs Christ our Lord: and vs, your seruants by Iesvs,

6   because God that commaunded light to shine of darkenes, he hath shined in our hartes to the illumination of the knovvledge of the glorie of God, in the face of Christ Iesvs.

7   But vve haue this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellencie may be of the povver of God, and not of vs.

8   In al things vve suffer tribulation, but are not in distresse: note vve vvant, but are not destitute:

9   vve suffer persecution, but are not forsaken: vve are cast dovvne, but vve perish not:

10   alvvaies bearing about in our body the mortification of Iesvs, that the life also of Iesvs may be manifested in our bodies.

11   For vve that liue, are alvvaies deliuered vnto death for Iesvs: that the life also of Iesvs may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

12   Death then vvorketh in vs, but life in you.

13   And hauing the same spirit of faith, as it is vvritten, I beleeued, for the vvhich cause I haue spoken, note vve also beleeue, for the vvhich cause vve speake also:

14   knovving that he vvhich raised vp Iesvs, vvil raise vp vs also vvith Iesvs and set vs vvith you. &cross4;

15   For al things are for you: that the grace abounding by many in giuing of thankes, may abound vnto the glorie of God.

16   For vvhich cause vve faile not: but although that our man vvhich is vvithout, note corrupte: yet that vvhich is vvithin, is renevved from day to day.

17   For that our tribulation vvhich presently is momentanie & light,09Q1172 note note vvorketh aboue measure excedingly an eternal vveight of glorie in vs,

18   we not c&obar;sidering the things that are seen, but that are not seen. For the things that be seen, are temporal: but those that be not seen, are eternal.
