VVUliam Koye's Dialogue bttween a cliiistian Faiher and his stubborn Son. 441 



through ruercy obteyued yn hyme, we shall perpetually j. Co. xv. 

 [tbl. IS*".] live, and with hym aryse agayne. seynge he uo. nij. 

 was delivered for oure synnes, and rose agayne the thryde 

 daye to iustyfy vs. And as s. peter sayth, once soffered j. Pet. üj. 

 for synnSj the iust for the vniust, so to bringe vs to god. and 

 was killed as pertaynynge the flesshe, and yett was quickened 

 in the sprete. Wherfore my dere sonne, yf we be risen agayne 

 with Chi'ist, lett vs seke those thynges whieh are above wheare 

 as he sitteth ou the right honde of god his father. So. coi. üj. 

 What comforte fyndest thou here in? Fat. Marvelous grett with 

 outen fayle. For loke as 1 surly knowe that he soffered j. ret. üj. 

 death for my synnes, and that it was vnpossible that he ro, vj. 

 shulde remayne therin. even as sure am I, that by his death 

 satisfaction sufticient is made, wherby both hell and death are 

 overcome. And therfore shulde we no lenger continewe Coi. ij. 

 in death. but in renewynge of oure lyfe, fei-vently laboure for 

 immortalite. which is, wheare as he ascended vp into heven, 

 and sitteth on the ryght honde of god the father allmygthy. 

 This artikle have we in the fyrst chapter of the Actes. In 

 hevenly thynges, and on the right honde of god, are as moche 

 to saye, as he is constitute in the raost excellent power of god 

 above all hevens, and angels. that he [fol. 19*.] mygt fulfill 

 all thynges. which are here beneth. That is to saye, Eph. üij. 

 that with his sprete and gostly gyftes, he ordre, rule, and 

 governe vs. wherby remayneth vnto me, in tyme of aduersite, 

 and temptacion a grett staye and conforte. For as moche as 

 I consider that Christ so entierly ' hath loved me, that ko. üij. 

 he hath sreveu his owne silfe for mv sake, what canne nowe 

 be lackynge vnto me? or what evill maye fortunc vnto me. 

 seynge that he \\hich so affecteously hath lovcd me , is 

 kvno-e and lorde over all that is on erthe here beiieathe, 

 or in heven above wheare as he nowe is. and from Ma. xwüj. 

 whence (as I faytlifully beleve) he shall comc to iudge bothe 

 quicke and ded. He cam once to brynge vs through hym 

 vnto the father. That is to saye, he sett vs (which were 

 his fathers enenemies, - and bondmen vnto the devill ) attone 

 agayne with hyme. makynge of a crewel iudge a mercifull 

 father, by the meanes that he made satisfaction for oure synnes, 



1 entirely. '^ emiemiea.
