That our Lord Jesus Chryst offerrit him self ane voluntarie sacrifice
unto his Father for us; that he sufferrit contradictioun of synneris;
that he was woundit and plaigit for our transgressiouns; that he being
the clene and innocent Lamb of God, was dampnit in the presence of an
earthlie juge, that we mycht be absolvit befoir the tribunall seat of
our God; that he sufferit not onlie the creuell death of the croce
(quhilk was accursit be the sentance of God,) bot alssua that he
sufferrit for a seassone the wrath of his Father, whilk synnaris had
deservit. Bot yitt we avow, that he remaneit the onlie and weilbelovit
and blissit Sone of his Father, evin in the myddis of his anguysche
and torment, quhilk he sufferrit in body and saull, to mak the full
satisfactioun for the synnis of his pepill.[230] Efter the quhilk, we
confesse and avow, that thair remaneis na uther sacrifice for synnis;
quhilk gif any affirme, we nathing dowt to avow that thay are
blasphemaris against Chrystis death, and the everlesting purgatioun
and sattisfactioun purchessit till us by the same.

We undoutedlie beleif, that insamekill as it was impossibill that the
dolouris of death sould reteane in bondage the Author of lyff, that
our Lord Jesus Chryst crucifeit, deid, and buryit, quha discendit into
hell, did raise agane for our justificatioun, and distroying [of] him
who was [the] author of death, brocht lyfe agane to us that war
subject to death and to the bondage of the same. We knaw that his
resurrectioun was confirmit be the testimonye of his verray ennemeis;
by the resurrectioun of the deid, quhais sepulturis did oppin, and
thay did arise and apperit to many within the Citie of Jerusalem. It
was alssua confirmit be the testimonie of [his] Angellis, and be the
senses and jugementis of his Apostleis, and [of] utheris, quha had
conversatioun, and did eit and drynk with him efter his resurrectioun.
