Question. Are we not hereby put in mind of our duty also towards Christ.
Answer. We are indeed taught that we are not our own, to do what we wish; but that we are wholly Christ’s, who hath so dearly bought, most bounden to obey him, and to do his will, most bounden to love him, who so dearly loved us first, being yet his enemies: most ready again to yield ourselves wholly unto Christ, who hath given himself wholly unto us: most ready for his sake to forsake not only all wordly things and pleasures of this life, but also to lose our lives rather than forsake Christ, and our love and duty toward him. For happy is the death that being due to nature, is chiefly yielded for Christ; for Him (I say), who offered and yielded himself to willing death for us, and who being the author of life, both will and is able to deliver us (being dead) from death; and to restore us to life everlasting.
