faith_n be_v sufficient_a but_o we_o must_v do_v good_a work_n and_o so_o they_o make_v not_o the_o holiness_n of_o christ_n their_o ground_n and_o pillar_n as_o john_n dydde_v which_o be_v glad_a to_o forgo_v his_o own_o holiness_n and_o count_v it_o not_o so_o much_o worthy_a as_o the_o clout_n wherewith_o dirty_a shoe_n be_v make_v clean_o he_o testify_v plain_o that_o his_o holiness_n be_v not_o so_o much_o worth_n as_o a_o vile_a clout_n and_o how_o much_o less_o worthy_a do_v he_o judge_v it_o to_o wipe_v christ_n nose_n work_n and_o to_o do_v any_o high_a office_n this_o do_v the_o pope_n and_o his_o church_n refuse_v to_o do_v they_o extol_v them self_o high_o with_o their_o work_n and_o that_o they_o have_v everlasting_a life_n for_o they_o and_o can_v not_o abide_v that_o their_o work_n and_o holiness_n shall_v be_v count_v as_o vile_a clout_n yea_o rather_o they_o doubt_v whether_o they_o may_v judge_v christ_n worthy_a to_o have_v this_o holiness_n give_v in_o stead_n of_o alm_n and_o sacrifice_n this_o hear_v the_o jew_n but_o they_o despise_v and_o persecute_v it_o and_o unto_o this_o time_n be_v not_o this_o contempt_n and_o persecution_n leave_v but_o as_o this_o madness_n chance_v to_o the_o jew_n destruction_n so_o shall_v it_o by_o god_n grace_n chance_n to_o the_o papist_n wherefore_o we_o must_v diligent_o mark_v this_o example_n where_o as_o john_n that_o most_o holieste_a man_n which_o as_o christ_n say_v have_v none_o like_o he_o amongst_o all_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o woman_n 116_o which_o pass_v all_o mounke_n and_o priest_n far_o yet_o do_v he_o so_o demitte_v and_o humble_v himself_o and_o say_v that_o he_o with_o all_o his_o holiness_n and_o work_n be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v as_o a_o clout_n to_o wipe_v shoe_n true_o this_o example_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v follow_v good_a work_n must_v be_v do_v and_o that_o with_o great_a diligence_n work_n for_o so_o have_v god_n command_v in_o the_o ten_o precept_n but_o when_o we_o come_v to_o that_o point_n that_o we_o must_v entreat_v of_o this_o man_n as_o john_n do_v all_o be_v to_o be_v cast_v down_o at_o his_o foot_n &_o we_o must_v confess_v hearty_o with_o john_n that_o it_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o do_v he_o the_o least_o service_n that_o be_v before_o man_n judgement_n hereof_o be_v have_v chief_a respect_n that_o thou_o be_v no_o advouterer_n no_o thief_n no_o robber_n that_o thou_o geve_v alm_n that_o thou_o serve_v well_o in_o thy_o vocation_n these_o thing_n be_v boast_v of_o amongst_o man_n and_o have_v in_o high_a estimation_n but_o when_o the_o matter_n be_v try_v in_o the_o sight_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n be_v not_o loath_a to_o say_v this_o o_o lord_n i_o know_v that_o before_o thou_o the_o excellent_a thing_n in_o i_o be_v nothing_o worth_a wherefore_o judge_v i_o not_o accord_v to_o my_o work_n i_o be_o willinge_v to_o bide_v the_o loss_n of_o they_o and_o can_v wish_v no_o better_a thing_n if_o so_o be_v i_o may_v have_v my_o desire_n therein_o i_o may_v think_v myself_o well_o bless_v so_o do_v paul_n also_o to_o the_o philippi_n i_o be_o say_v he_o a_o israelite_n 3._o after_o the_o profession_n of_o the_o law_n a_o pharisei_n and_o as_o touch_v righteousness_n unblameable_a so_o that_o no_o man_n can_v reprove_v i_o it_o be_v not_o much_o see_v that_o one_o shall_v stand_v so_o in_o these_o thing_n against_o the_o judgement_n of_o man_n yet_o he_o say_v i_o think_v all_o this_o but_o chyppe_n and_o all_o my_o trust_n and_o comfort_n rest_v herein_o that_o i_o may_v be_v find_v not_o have_v my_o own_o righteousness_n which_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v by_o faith_n in_o christ_n which_o righteousness_n belong_v to_o faith_n as_o god_n say_v wherefore_o that_o i_o may_v take_v fruit_n of_o this_o man_n i_o cast_v away_o all_o my_o own_o righteousness_n as_o chip_n the_o say_n of_o paul_n be_v more_o contumelious_a against_o good_a work_n they_o johns_n for_o he_o be_v content_a to_o suffer_v they_o to_o be_v esteem_v clout_n but_o paul_n name_v they_o very_a chip_n paryng_n or_o scrapyng_n paul_n the_o apostle_n nothing_o fear_v the_o reproach_n of_o uncivilitie_n whereas_o he_o use_v such_o unpure_a word_n such_o example_n be_v very_o necessary_a to_o maintain_v the_o study_n of_o honesty_n and_o soberness_n before_o the_o world_n that_o man_n may_v not_o have_v any_o cause_n to_o reprove_v us._n this_o righteousness_n be_v belong_v to_o this_o life_n and_o have_v his_o end_n with_o this_o life_n as_o it_o be_v know_v good_a man_n be_v put_v into_o the_o grave_n as_o well_o as_o the_o evil_a the_o matron_n as_o well_o as_o the_o harlot_n but_o when_o thou_o will_v make_v thou_o a_o way_n to_o everlasting_a life_n say_v this_o christ_n be_v my_o refuge_n and_o his_o righteousness_n which_o he_o promise_v and_o geve_v in_o baptism_n by_o his_o word_n and_o in_o the_o supper_n by_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n work_n at_o last_o i_o shall_v stand_v by_o he_o as_o a_o poor_a worm_n that_o so_o by_o this_o mean_n there_o may_v be_v put_v a_o difference_n between_o our_o righteousness_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o function_n of_o this_o common_a life_n and_o between_o the_o righteousness_n which_o be_v before_o god_n the_o ethnyke_v also_o have_v show_v honesty_n and_o soberness_n in_o their_o lyvinge_n and_o do_v and_o suffer_v many_o thing_n for_o their_o native_a country_n for_o the_o which_o they_o have_v their_o due_a renown_n but_o when_o death_n come_v nothing_o thereof_o will_v step_v forth_o to_o take_v their_o part_n for_o by_o such_o righteousness_n and_o good_a work_n we_o can_v not_o attain_v to_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n but_o whither_o must_v we_o then_o go_v for_o righteousness_n and_o such_o holiness_n that_o be_v accept_v before_o god_n and_o allow_v in_o the_o everlasting_a life_n there_o then_o be_v this_o holy_a anchor_n to_o be_v cast_v this_o must_v be_v our_o refuge_n that_o we_o come_v humble_o after_o the_o precept_n of_o john_n and_o think_v vile_a of_o oure self_o or_o as_o paul_n say_v shameful_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n this_o may_v perchance_o seem_v excellent_a but_o before_o god_n it_o be_v but_o a_o clout_n to_o wipe_v the_o shoe_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god._n who_o righteousness_n i_o will_v glad_o have_v to_o be_v give_v to_o i_o by_o the_o help_n whereof_o i_o may_v be_v certain_a of_o salvation_n whereas_o for_o my_o own_o righteousness_n i_o ought_v not_o to_o refuse_v damnation_n in_o hell_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o we_o say_v sure_o that_o mounkes_n priest_n cool_v and_o all_o thing_n of_o this_o sort_n be_v destinate_a to_o damnation_n for_o they_o apply_v not_o their_o work_n to_o the_o obedience_n of_o god_n to_o honest_a lyve_n to_o the_o avoid_n of_o offence_n but_o that_o they_o may_v hereby_o obtain_v salvation_n wherefore_o they_o sell_v these_o thing_n also_o to_o other_o and_o this_o it_o be_v to_o deny_v christ_n word_n and_o to_o mock_v and_o despise_v he_o as_o the_o jew_n mock_v and_o despise_v he_o let_v we_o beware_v of_o such_o abomination_n and_o here_o let_v we_o learn_v how_o to_o answer_v such_o juggler_n will_v thou_o wretched_a man_n be_v so_o mighty_a with_o thy_o work_n and_o righteousness_n that_o thou_o may_v purchase_v i_o salvation_n thereby_o the_o virtue_n of_o

such_o abbey_n be_v clean_o put_v down_o than_o that_o man_n shall_v fall_v into_o offence_n thereby_o and_o stray_n from_o christ_n and_o lose_v both_o body_n and_o soul_n learn_v therefore_o of_o this_o gospel_n to_o live_v godly_a righteous_o and_o chaste_o do_v and_o to_o be_v diligent_a in_o good_a work_n for_o such_o obedience_n do_v god_n require_v by_o his_o law_n and_o will_v have_v we_o to_o do_v it_o and_o when_o we_o do_v it_o not_o let_v we_o know_v that_o punishment_n be_v ready_a for_o we_o and_o if_o he_o see_v we_o not_o to_o amend_v by_o bodily_a pain_n he_o will_v
