and so hath gotten just dominion over us, as over the people whom
he hath deUvered from bondage of sinne, death, hel, and the devil,
and hath made us Kings and Priests to God his Father.
We farther confesse and beleve, that the same our Lord Jesus
was accused before an earthly judge, Pontius Pilate, under whome
albeit oft and divers times he was pronounced to be innocent,
he suffered the death of the crosse, hanged upon a tree betwixt
two theves. Which death, as it was most cruel and vile before
the eyes of men, so was it accursed by the mouth of God him-
selfe, saying, 'Cursed is everie one that hangeth on a tree.'
And this kynde of death susteined he in our person, because
he was appointed of God his Father to be our pledge, and
he that shuld beare the punishment of our transgressions.
