A20398	A Most excellent and profitable dialogue, of the powerfull iustifying faith shewing what it is to beleeue in God, and what wonders are wrought by the power of beliefe, be it worldly or diuine, and what things do hinder beliefe : also how a man may hate himselfe, and by faith forsake himselfe, and kill the deeds of the flesh : the effect of the talke is this, that he which beleeueth in God, and in his son Iesus Christ, is able by the power of that beliefe, to mortifie his flesh, with the lusts thereof, through the Holy Ghost, and to serue God in spirit and truth / translated out of Latine by Arthur Golding.	Golding, Arthur, 1536-1606.	1610 (1610)	STC 6809.5; ESTC S342	24,313	58

doubt_v you_o of_o that_o first_o as_o touch_v god_n commandment_n whereas_o our_o master_n universal_o be_v wont_a to_o teach_v that_o they_o be_v not_o set_v down_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v obey_v they_o but_o to_o make_v we_o acknowledge_v our_o infirmity_n what_o else_o be_v it_o then_o a_o discredit_v of_o god_n commandment_n for_o see_v our_o lord_n have_v say_v that_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o paul_n say_v he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o thing_n through_o he_o that_o strgenthn_v he_o sure_o that_o man_n which_o not_o only_o obey_v not_o god_n commandment_n commandment_n but_o also_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o obey_v they_o do_v not_o believe_v the_o commandment_n aright_o whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o look_v how_o few_o folk_n obey_v the_o commandment_n so_o few_o do_v believe_v they_o lew._n but_o this_o say_n which_o you_o allege_v namely_o that_o all_o thing_n be_v possible_a to_o the_o beléever_n seem_v to_o be_v speak_v of_o miracle_n and_o not_o obedience_n fred._n it_o be_v speak_v general_o of_o all_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o in_o allege_v that_o place_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n through_o faith_n the_o saint_n conquer_v kingdom_n wrought_v righteousness_n etc._n etc._n for_o sure_o to_o work_v righteousness_n be_v a_o deed_n of_o faith_n beside_o this_o if_o god_n will_v be_v that_o man_n shall_v through_o faith_n be_v able_a to_o work_v miracle_n salvation_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o of_o the_o necessity_n of_o their_o

save_v and_o

that_o to_o obey_v be_v not_o a_o hard_a matter_n then_o to_o work_v miracle_n and_o yet_o that_o to_o obey_v belong_v to_o all_o believer_n whereas_o to_o work_v miracle_n belong_v not_o to_o all_o as_o i_o have_v show_v afore_o lew._n indeed_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a frederick_n but_o yet_o there_o remain_v one_o thing_n which_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v open_v unto_o i_o you_o say_v even_o now_o that_o all_o man_n believe_v christ_n history_n but_o not_o his_o commandment_n likewise_o credible_a but_o if_o they_o believe_v y_o e_o whole_a story_n of_o christ_n &_o special_o his_o resurrection_n in_o my_o opinion_n they_o shall_v believe_v all_o the_o other_o thing_n also_o for_o no_o doubt_n but_o if_o they_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a in_o so_o do_v they_o shall_v both_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n indeed_o and_o moreover_o give_v credit_n to_o all_o his_o say_n in_o which_o respect_n john_n say_v these_o thing_n be_v write_v to_o the_o intent_n you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o anoint_a son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o through_o believe_v it_o you_o shall_v obtain_v life_n by_o his_o name_n fred._n whereas_o i_o deny_v that_o they_o believe_v his_o commandment_n i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o so_o take_v as_o though_o they_o believe_v not_o that_o his_o command_v of_o those_o thing_n be_v well_o and_o as_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o do_v but_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o believe_v not_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o command_v to_o be_v do_v behalf_n be_v either_o possible_a or_o needful_a to_o be_v do_v misconstrue_v they_o after_o their_o own_o fancy_n &_o not_o according_a to_o his_o mind_n i_o say_v they_o believe_v they_o not_o aright_o for_o your_o better_a understanding_n whereof_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o example_n when_o god_n have_v bring_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n command_v they_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n do_v they_o believe_v that_o god_n command_v it_o lew._n yea_o very_o or_o else_o they_o will_v never_o have_v send_v spy_n into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n fred._n why_o then_o do_v they_o not_o obey_v he_o lew._n because_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o canaanites_n can_v not_o be_v overcome_v and_o that_o god_n have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n commandment_n not_o to_o conquer_v canaan_n but_o to_o perish_v wretched_o in_o the_o wilderness_n fred._n then_o do_v they_o not_o believe_v god_n commandment_n according_a to_o god_n meaning_n forasmuch_o as_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v invade_v canaan_n &_o subdue_v the_o canaanite_n lew._n you_o say_v the_o truth_n fred._n then_o do_v they_o not_o believe_v aright_o

sooth_o so_o they_o be_v lewis_n in_o very_a deed_n for_o in_o the_o very_a same_o place_n god_n call_v they_o unbeliever_n in_o these_o word_n how_o long_o will_v this_o people_n spite_v i_o how_o long_o will_v it_o be_v ere_o they_o will_v believe_v i_o for_o all_o the_o miracle_n which_o i_o have_v wrought_v among_o they_o now_o if_o these_o be_v just_o call_v unbeliever_n the_o same_o reason_n lead_v we_o to_o call_v the_o other_o unbeliever_n and_o distruster_n of_o christ_n commandment_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o do_v no_o less_o misconstrue_v the_o precept_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o israelite_n do_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n have_v not_o wrought_v few_o miracle_n to_o we_o than_o moses_n do_v to_o they_o neither_o do_v christ_n command_v we_o less_o earnest_o to_o subdue_v sin_n than_o god_n command_v they_o to_o subdue_v the_o canaanite_n neither_o be_v we_o less_o spiteful_a &_o distrustful_a towards_o he_o if_o we_o deny_v that_o sin_n may_v be_v subdue_v when_o as_o he_o both_o command_v we_o and_o promise_v we_o strength_n then_o they_o be_v spiteful_a and_o distrustful_a towards_o god_n in_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v possible_a to_o overcome_v the_o canaanite_n neither_o do_v we_o offend_v less_o against_o the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v either_o possible_a for_o we_o or_o mean_v by_o christ_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v command_v we_o to_o do_v than_o the_o israelite_n offend_v against_o the_o meaning_n of_o god_n when_o they_o wrest_v it_o another_o way_n then_o his_o open_a word_n import_v and_o therefore_o in_o deny_v they_o to_o believe_v christ_n commandment_n i_o do_v they_o no_o wrong_n as_o touch_v the_o place_n of_o john_n by_o you_o allege_v understand_v it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v say_v at_o that_o time_n to_o the_o israelite_n god_n have_v wrought_v these_o miracle_n for_o your_o sake_n in_o egypt_n to_o the_o intent_n you_o shall_v believe_v and_o by_o believe_v enter_v into_o the_o rest_a place_n of_o canaan_n but_o the_o cause_n why_o all_o of_o they_o come_v not_o there_o be_v not_o god_n purpose_n but_o their_o own_o harden_v of_o their_o heart_n against_o he_o which_o thing_n will_v god_n be_v not_o do_v in_o christ_n also_o but_o we_o see_v it_o be_v so_o howbeit_o the_o author_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n warn_v we_o not_o to_o do_v it_o cite_v this_o say_n out_o of_o a_o certain_a psalm_n 95.8_o to_o day_n if_o you_o hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o

to_o believe_v which_o belong_v to_o the_o office_n of_o god_n &_o to_o refuse_v the_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o man_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v it_o god_n

the_o false_a prophet_n because_o they_o teach_v delectable_a thing_n and_o blaze_v abroad_o god_n pleasant_a promise_n with_o open_a mouth_n do_v easy_o find_v credit_n whereas_o the_o true_a
