It is not onely, with certaine affiance of mind to lay hold of the whole passion and death of Christ, and therby to obtaine forgiuenesse of sinnes, and life euerlasting: but also by the spirite of Christ, which dwelleth at one time both in Christ and vs, in such sort more and more to bea vnited vnto his holie bodie, that although he be inb heauen, and we vpon earth, yet notwithstanding we are flesh of his flesh, and bone of hisc bone: and as all the members of the bodie are quickened andd gouerned by one soule, so are we all by one and the same spirite.e
