the mystery of piety is the pillar and basts of truth; and certainly most extraordinary. God has appear'd in the flesh, been justified by the spirit, seen by angels, proclaim'd to the Gentiles, believ'd by the world, and assum'd into glory.
that their hearts might be comforted, and that being firmly united in love, they might possess the highest and fullest persuasion of the truth of this doctrine, by entring into this mystery, even of God the father, and of Christ,
but we explain that mysterious plan of divine wisdom, which God had contriv'd before the ages, for our glory:
for he has discover'd to us the secret of his will, that out of his meer good pleasure, he had purposed in himself,
by the reading whereof you may perceive how far I am let into the secret of Christ.
to whom God does disclose the glorious advantages of this mystery to you Gentiles, to wit, "that by Christ you may have the expectation of glory."
