¹⁷and he is before all thinges and in him all thynges have their beynge.

¹⁸And he is the heed of the body that is to wit of the congregacion: he is the begynnynge and fyrst begotten of the deed that in all thynges he might have the preeminence.

¹⁹For it pleased the father that in him shuld all fulnes dwell

²⁰and by him to reconcile all thynge vnto him silfe and to set at peace by him thorow the bloud of his crosse both thynges in heven and thynges in erth.

²¹And you (which were in tymes past straungers and enymes because youre myndes were set in evyll workes) hath he now reconcilied
