What shal we saye then vnto these thinges? Yff God be on oure syde, who can be agaynst vs.

Who wyl laye enythinge to ye charge of Gods chosen? Here is God that maketh righteous,

who wil then condemne? Here is Christ that is deed, yee rather which is raysed vp agayne, which is also on ye righte hande of God, and maketh intercession for vs.

which are off Israel: vnto whom pertayneth the childshippe, and the glory, and the couenauntes and lawe, and the seruyce of God, and the promyses:
