Phylosophye of dubitation and mystrust ¶ Nowe foloweth the thyrde question which the olde writers haue nat spoken of so largely and playnly as they haue of that other twayne beynge no lesse nay more necessary ¶ Howe our workes may please God FOR as muche as in them which he regenerated remayneth yet greate imbecillitie and weaknes nat hauynge the feare which they oughte to haue of God nat brennynge in Faythe and loue seketh the helpe of man more than the worde of God permitteth beynge seducted with errors and neglygent in doynge theyr duetye and offyce beynge proude and puffed vp with immoderat affections of loue and hatred courtynge vnhonest and vnlawful pleasures and in theyr afflictiōs troubles bendyng theyr browes agaynst the lord doubtynge or rather dispayryng of his mercy are inflamed with vniust desyre of vengeaunce doeth nat with herte declare them selfe to God gentyll and louyng nat thankyng him hertely for his great benefytes passyng nat much whether the Gospel doth go backewarde or forward nat bewaylyng the calamities and miserable state of the churche and of the common welth nat prayenge for the churche and for princes but beynge set a fyer with vniust desyre of gatherīg togither of richesse honours and of power hatynge them which do shyne in godly vertues and godlye gyftes or rather caysyng vp sclaunders on them as the contention of superioritie betwene the sister of Moyses and Aaron did cause stubburnesse ¶ FOR as much I say as these greate ●yces do yet reygne in them ye whiche are borne againe in a newe byrth vices I say much contrary and repugnante to the lawe of God worthy deathe euerlastinge spryngynge from the most pesty●ent well and fountayne of al mischefe I say Originall sinne that is the ignorance and want of the knowlege of god and frowarde turnynge thy selfe awaye from the wyl of God of the whiche vyces Paul speakinge discribeth no small deformite but a great and monstruouse euyll saying the sence felyng and pricking of the fleshe is mortall enemye to God it is manifest therfore that no mā can performe and satisfie the Lawe but only Christ and that in the newe borne by Fayth there doth remaine sinne contrary to the Lawe of god and worthy euerlastynge death without they be forgyuen Syth that this is true nat onely in the scholes but also in mens mindes thꝭ questiō being resoned causeth no sma● perylles and contention within man resonyng with other yea and with theyr owne selfes whether they please God ye or nay secondly howe this impure and imperfect newe lyfe can please God beynge so full of vnclennesse ☞ IT is necessary therfore that men be taughte to vnderstande and perceyue both of these doubtes For the hypocritꝭ so feble and weake is theyr nature d● stande muche in theyr owne conceyt regardynge and settynge muche by they● owne vertues thynkyng that they b● strong ynough of them selfe makynge the naturall vicious inclination of the flesshe no sinne or very small do thynke them selfes without sinne that they be able of theyr owne strength to perform the lawe of God and worthy to obteine the lyfe euerlastyng for theyr owne desertes and merites This is the mynde nat only of Hipocrites but also of those which in theyr iudgementes do folowe theyr owne blynde reasons and phantasies Such was the reasonyng of Plato and of Tullye of the immortalitie of soules sayinge that those soules which departed forth of the bodies most purist hauing least part of the dregges and filthynesse of the bodies did flye vp to the ayre Contrary wise those soules whiche departynge were full of all fylthye lustes and foule desyres of the fleshly bodies did continue styll on the earth beynge about the sepulchres and graues where theyr bodies were layde and buryed Is nat al one matter that our religious fathers bosting and setting vn of theyr merites semeth for to do Do they any thynge els than Plato or Tully Although that the reason of man by his owne lyght and knowledge of him self can none otherwise iudge yet the word of God doth testify that no man can satisfy the lawe accusyng al men and settyng before vs our mediatur the only son of God It is necessary therfore that those proud arrogant and carkles stomakꝭ of Hipocrites be rebuked as much as it is requisite that the fearful consciences and weake myndes are to be comforted with the true comfort nat to mystrust the mercy of God for that he hateth but to haue a stedfast Fayth and to learne howe the lyfe maners workes may please God Peter when he was in the bote beyng affrayde sayde go from me Lorde for I am a sinner Thoughe that Peter beyng in great feare did nat marke what he sayde his selfe yet as it doeth happen often tymes vnwares to a man being sodenly moued he did simpelly declare with his mouth what his hert thought For he fledde from God beholdyng and considering his owne vnworthynesse Lykewise all men beholdinge theyr owne vnworthynes do flye from God thynkyng that in so doing they do well to go from him bicause they do seme to theyr selfes vnworthy The whiche erroure beinge fyxed in mennes myndes the gospel doth reprehend commaundinge all men though they be vnworthy to come boldlye vnto hym trustyng stedfastly on the mediator which is the sonne of God ¶ AND although as I haue declared a new obedience which is the iustice in declaration of a good consciēce is very necessary yet for al that they whiche be regenerated and newe borne agayne in Christ in a newe lyfe by Faythe and inspiration of the holy Ghost neyther do nor can fulfyll al that the lawe doth requyre For in them for al theyr newe byrth remayneth our fyrst and original disease nat to be set lyght by bredinge and causyng innumerable ill affections in vs. Considering then that these vices are worthye and deserue euerlastinge death ye those whiche be newe borne agayne are nat iust that is to say accepted or pleasaunt to god for theyr owne propre vertues but thorowe mercy and that frely by a ful trust in the mediator Christ Also they do nat merite eternall felicitie by theyr owne workes and vertues but they muste be of thys opinion that they be heyres of euerlastinge lyfe by Christ frely by Fayth although they haue the newe obedience or the good workes which consequētly must folow this Fayth ¶ TO proue that none of al the godly and most vertuous men that euer were can nat perfourme the request of the lawe and that there doeth remayne in them sinne ye after theyr regeneratyon thys sentence folowinge doeth proue ¶ Psalme 143. Thou shalt nat enter in to iudgement with thy seruauntes for no liuing creature shall be iustified in thy syght The fyrst epistle of Iohn and fyrst cap. If we shulde say that we haue no sinne we do begyle our felfes and the truth is nat in vs. ¶ ALSO Romaynes 7. cap. I do se and fele another Lawe in my members striuing agaynst the
