For as none can be made Partakers of the Vertue of the Bread and Wine to his bodily sustenance, unless he do first receive the substance of those Creatures; so neither can any participate in the benefits arising from Christ to his spiritual relief, except he first have Communion with Christ himself. We must have the Son before we have Life. Most Reverend Usher 's Serm. before H. of C. p. 17. His 18 Sermons, p. 421.

Memorable is the Relation of blessed Bilney 's Conversion. As the Woman in the Gospel had consumed all she had upon Physicians, and yet was still worse and worse, till she came to Christ, &c. Before I came to Christ I had likewise spent all I had upon ignorant Physicians; they appointed me Fastings, Watchings, buying of Pardons, and Masses, &c. But at last I heard speak of Jesus, even then when the N. Testament was put forth by Erasmus. At first I was allured to read rather for the Latin, than for the Word of God. At the first reading I hit upon the Sentence of St. Paul, (O most comfortable Sentence to my Soul!) It is a faithful Saying, &c. 1 Tim. 1.15. This did so exhilerate my Heart, wounded with the guilt of my Sins, insomuch that my bruised Bones leapt for joy: And then I learnt that all my Travels, all my Fasting and Watches, all the Redemption by Masses and Pardons, without Faith in Christ, were but an hasty and swift running out of the way, or like sowing Fig-leaves, &c. Neither could I be relieved or eased of the sharp stingings of my sins, before I was taught of God, that as Moses lift up the Serpent in the Wilderness, &c. That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish, but have everlasting Life, &c. B. of Martyrs, 2 Vol. Letter to Tonstale.

Three were imprisoned for Murder, and 200 l. was promised to one to procure a Pardon; 100 l. was paid, and the other was to be paid whenever the Pardon should come. The two Men were executed, this Woman's Husband, and his Brother-in-law, who both agreed, that the whole Sum should be paid if her Pardon could be obtained.
