That is, to fetch Christe downe from aboue. 7 Either who shall descende into the deepe? That is, to fetch vp Christe agayne from the dead. 8 But what sayth he? The worde is nye thee, euen in thy mouth, and in thy heart. This same is the worde of faith, which we preache 9 For if thou shalt knowledge with thy mouth, the Lorde Iesus, and shalt beleue in thyne heart that God raysed hym from the dead, thou shalt be saued. 10 For with the heart man beleueth vnto ryghteousnesse, and with ye mouth man confesseth to saluation.
