The Light of the Gospel

1Therfore seinge that we have soche an office eve as mercy is come on vs we faynte not: 2but have cast from vs the clokes of vnhonestie and walke not in craftines nether corrupte we the worde of God: but walke in open trueth and reporte oure selves to every mannes conscience in the sight of God. 3Yf oure Gospell be yet hyd it is hid amoge them that are lost 4in whom ye god of this worlde hath blynded the myndes of them which beleve not lest the light of ye glorious gospell of Christ which is the ymage of god shuld shyne vnto them. 5For we preache not oure selves but Christ Iesus to be the Lorde and oure selves youre servautes for Iesus sake. 6For it is God that commauded the light to shyne out of darcknes which hath shyned in oure hertes for to geve the light of the knowledge of the glorie of God in the face of Iesus Christ.

Treasure in Jars of Clay
(Romans 6:1–14)

7But we have this treasure in erthe vessels tha t ye excellent power of it myght appere to be of God and not of vs. 8We are troubled on every side yet are we not with out shyft. We are in povertie: but not vtterly without somwhat. 9We are persecuted: but are not forsake. We are cast doune: neverthelesse we perisshe not. 10And we all wayes beare in oure bodyes the dyinge of the Lorde Iesus that the lyfe of Iesu myght appere in oure bodyes. 11For we which live are alwayes delyvered vnto deeth for Iesus sake yt the lyfe also of Iesu myght appere in oure mortall flesshe. 12So then deeth worketh in vs and lyfe in you.

13Seynge then yt we have ye same sprete of fayth accordinge as it is writte: I beleved and therfore have I spoken. We also beleve and therfore speake. 14For we knowe that he which raysed vp the Lorde Iesus shall rayse vp vs also by the meanes of Iesus and shall seet vs with you. 15For all thinges do I for youre sakes that the plenteous grace by thankes geve of many maye redounde to the prayse of god.

16Wherfore we are not weried but though oure vttward man perisshe yet the inwarde man is renewed daye by daye. 17For oure excedinge tribulacion which is momentany and light prepareth an excedinge and an eternall wayght of glorye 18vnto vs whill we loke not on the thynges which are sene but on ye thynges which are not sene. For thinges which are sene are temporall: but thynges which are not sene are eternall
