“Evangelion (that we call the gospel) is a Greek word and signifieth good, merry, glad and joyful
tidings, that maketh a man’s heart glad and maketh him sing, dance, and leap for joy… [This
gospel is] all of Christ the right David, how that he hath fought with sin, with death, and the
devil, and overcome them: whereby all men that were in bondage to sin, wounded with death,
overcome of the devil are without their own merits or deservings loosed, justified, restored to
life and saved, brought to liberty and reconciled unto the favor of God and set at one with him
again: which tidings as many as believe laud, praise and thank God, are glad, sing and dance for
joy.”
