Section 1: Lord’s Day 1

What is thy only comfort in life and death?

That I with body and soul,^a both in life and death,^b am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ,^c who, with his precious blood,^d hath fully satisfied for all my sins,^e and delivered me from all the power of the devil;^f and so preserves me that without the will of my heavenly Father,^g not a hair can fall from my head;^h yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation,ⁱ and therefore, by his holy spirit, he also assures me of eternal life,^j and makes me sincerely willing and ready henceforth, to live unto him.^k
