¶ A path way īto the holy scripture ❧ ❧ ❧ A pathwaye into holy c. I Do ma●ueyle greatly derely beloued in Christ that euer any man shulde repugne or speke agaynst the scrypture to be hadde in euery language and that of euery man For I thought that no man had ben so blynd to aske why lyght shuld be shewed to them that walke in darknes where they can nat but stomble where to stomble is the daūger of eternall dampnacion either so dispytefull that he wolde enuy any man I speake nat his brother so necessary a thing or so bedlem mad to afferme that good is the naturall cause of euyll darkenesse to procede out of lyght that lyeng shulde be grounded in trouth verytie and nat rather clene contrary that lyght distroyeth darkenes and veritye reproueth all maner lyenge Neuerthelesse seyng that it hath pleased god to sende vnto oure Englysshe men euen to as many as vnfaynedly desyre it the scrypture in their mother tonge consyderynge that there be in euery place false techers blynde leders that ye shuld be disceyued of no man I supposed it very necessarye to prepayre this Path way into the scripture for you that ye myght walke surely euer know the trewe from the false And aboue al to put you in remēbraunce of certayne pointes which ar That ye well vnderstande what these wordes meane The olde Testament the newe Testament the lawe the gospell Moses Christ nature grace workyng beleuyng dedes and fayth L●●t we ascrybe to the one that whiche belongeth to the other and make of Christ Moses of the gospell the law dispyse grace and robbe fayth and fall from meke lernynge in to ydle dispicyons braulynge and scoldinge about wordes The olde testament is a boke wherin is written the lawe of god the dedes of them which fulfyll them of them also which fulfyll them nat ¶ The newe Testament is a boke wherin are conteyned the promyses of god the dedes of them whiche beleue them or beleue them nat Euāgelion that we call the gospel is a greke worde sygnifyeth good mery glad ioyfull tidynges that maketh a mannes herte glad maketh him synge daunce leape for ioye As whā Dauid had killed Go lyath the giaūt came glad tidinges vnto the iewes that their fearfull cruell enemy was slayne they delyuered out of all danger for gladnes wherof they sōge daūsed wer ioyfull In lyke maner is the euangelion of god which we cal gospel the new testamēt ioyfull tidyngꝭ and as some saye A good herynge publysshed by the apostels through oute all the worlde of Christe the righte Dauyd howe that he hathe fought with synne with dethe and the deuyll and ouercome them Whereby all men that were in bondage to synne wounded with dethe ouercome of the Deuyll are withoute their owne meryttes or deseruynges losed iustifyed restored to lyfe and saued brought to lybertie and reconsyled vnto the fauoure of god and set at one with him agayne which tidynges as many as beleue laude prayse and thanke god are glad synge daunce for ioye ¶ This Euangelyon or Gospell that is to saye suche ioyfull tidynges is called the newe Testament Because that as a mā whan he shal dye appoynteth his goodes to be delte and distributed after his deth amonge them whiche he nameth to be his heyres Euyn so Christ before his deth commaunded and appoynted that suche Euangelyon Gospell or tidynges shulde be declared throughoute all the worlde and therwith to gyue vnto all that repent and beleue all his goodes that is to saye his lyfe wherewith he swalowed and deuoured vp deth his rightwysnesse wherwith he banysshed synne his saluacion wherwith he ouercame eternall dampnacyon Now can the wretched man that knoweth him selfe to be wrapped in syn and in daunger to dethe and Hell here no more ioyouse a thynge than suche gladde and comfortable tidynges of Christ so that he can nat but be gladde and laugh from the lowe bottome of his hert if he beleue that the tidynges are trewe ¶ To strength such fayth with all god promysed this his euangelyon in the olde testameut by the prophetes as Paule sayth in the fyrst chapiter vnto the Romayns Howe that he was chosen out to preche goddes Euangelion whiche he before had promysed by the prophetꝭ in the holy scriptures that treate of his sōne which was borne of the sede of Dauyd In the thirde chapiter of Genesis god sayth to the serpente I wyll put hatered betwene the the woman betwene thy seede and her sede that selfe sede shall treade thy heed vnder fote Christ is the womans sede he it is that hath troden vnder fote the deuyls heede that is to saye synne dethe hell and all his power For without this sede can no mā auoyde synne deth hell and euerlastynge dampnacion Agayne Gene. xxii God promysed Abraham sayeng In thy sede shall all the generacyons of the erthe be blessed Christ is that sede of Abraham saith s Paul in the third to the Galathyans He hath blessed al the worlde throughe the Gospell For where Christe is nat there remayneth the curse that fell on Adam as sone as he had synned so that they are in bondage vnder the dampnacyon of synne deth hell Against this curse blesseth nowe the gospell all the worlde in as moch as it cryeth openly vnto all that knowledge their synnes and repent sayenge Who so euer beleueth on the sede of Abraham shal be blessed that is he shall be delyuered from synne deth and hell and shall hence forthe contynewe ●ightwyse saued for euer as Christ him selfe sayth in the. xi of Johan He that beleued on me shall neuer more dye ¶ The lawe sayth Jo. in the fyrst ●ha was gyuen by Moses but grace and vertue by Jesus Christ The lawe whose minyster is Moses was gyuen to bringe vs vnto the knowledge of oure selues that we myght thereby fele perceyue what we are of nature The law condemneth vs all oure dedes is called of Paule in the third cha of the. ii pistle vnto the corinthians the mynistracyon of dethe For it kylleth oure conscyences and drweth vs to disperacyon in as moche as it requyreth of vs that which is vnpossyble for our nature to do It requyreth of vs the dedes of an hole man It requyreth ꝑfet loue from the low bottom and grounde of the hert as well in all thynges which we suffre as in tho thiges which we do But sayth John̄ in the same place ▪ grace and veritye is gyuen vs by Christ so that wha● the lawe hathe passed vpon vs condempned vs to dethe which is his nature to do than haue we in Christ grace that is to say fauour promyses of lyfe of mercy of pardone frely by the merytes of Christ in Christ haue we veritye and trouth in that god for his sake fulfylleth all his promyses to them that beleue Therfore is the gospell the

which euery faythfull ought to haue contynually before him And by this menes is the soule delyuered from the gret quakyng tremblyng that he was in before the gospell was presēted vnto him which drede the law brought him vnto shewynge him that he had deserued dampnacyon in the brekynge therof But whan he hereth those same glad tydīges he hath an inwarde ioye in himselfe whiche no herte of man can thinke without that he haue proued it For the more harder the condemnation is the more sharpe the dethe is that foloweth it from the more greuousnesse that he is delyuered brought to this blessednes and lyfe which he neuer loked for the more is his ioye gret And therfore the soule consyderinge the excedyng goodnes that the endles mercy that the father of heuen hath done for him in gyuyng his son for him ponderīge also the most inestimable swetnesse of the most benige Jesus who hath spent shed his blode for him takīg vpon him all his sīnes cancellyng and makyng voyde the oblygacion of deth in the which he was bonde wasshynge him pure clene in his blode baptisynge him with the holy spirite the which of an ardent loue wolde vouchesafe to come downe dwell in his conscience for to direct it instructe it or corroborate it in fayth gyuyng him vnderstādynge in the worde of god layeng al these great gyftes sondrie benefytes togyther conceyueth thorow the working of the holyghost a maruelous ardent loue toward god by the reason of the whiche he is set on fyre burneth in the meruelouse zele that he hath to the honour of god And whan he seeth that he can nat please god so highlye as he wolde do by the reason of the flesshe with his aduersarye vnto the spirite and that his worke be nothynge parfyte by the reason of his infirmite he mourneth in him selfe desyring to be delyuered frō his seruytute of corrupcyon of sīne but than is he brought in quyetnes by the holy spirit which prayeth for him with vnspeakable sighes that this empeshment or let may be taken away to the ende he maye fulfyll the wyll and the lawe of god without any gaynsay or contradyc●yon And in all suche rekenynges ●he holyghost cōforteth him so that at the laste he taketh all in gree pa●yently takynge all his pleasure in god that in all temptacyons and trybulacions afflyctions that shal come to him For the holyghost sheweth him the promyses whiche are conteyned in holye scripture and so instructe seynge that it is the wyll of god that he shuld be so vexed he reioyseth in all his tēptacions all his troubles be lyght swete vnto him Howbeit there is one temptation which is more gret more horryble than all other that is whan we be persecuted on al sydes whā the lorde withdraweth his consolation and confort from vs as though he were angrye agaynste vs for to proue tast our fayth and confydence that we haue in the goodnesse of god for whā our lorde doth comforte vs we fele him to be present we set lyght of all our trybulaciōs be it losse of goodes of chyldren of wyfe of husbande of lyfe or of all honoure or whatsoeuer it be But whā we ꝑ●eyue nat him to be nygh vs whā he absenteth himselfe to our semynge to the profe of our fayth than we lackyng him lacke all goodnes full of synne wretchednes se our self abhorred by the reason of our fylthynes se all thinge agaynst vs se hell open to deuour swalow vs vp as the forsaken of god In this maruelous tēptacion it is but a foly to rōne for socour to our good workes for the best of thē do but cōdemne vs. For all the good dedes that come of our selfe be but fylthines abhominacion before god and as a cloth defyled contamynate with the floures of a woman In such a tēptacion there is no remedy but fayth that is to haue full cōfydence trust in the promyses of god as be these He that beleueth ī me shall nat taste euerlastīge deth Nothinge is impossyble to hī that beleueth Al they that call on the name of the lorde shal be saued And accordynge to your fayth be it vnto you And many other of which holy scripture is full ¶ Such promyses as promyse vs lyfe delyueraunce from our euyls ●e called euangelique be the ve●y gospell or glad tydynges whiche saueth that whiche the lawe damp●eth which quyteth whan the law condempneth vnto the deth so that ●elefe be gyuen therto And the soule also hath another thīge which may assure him that is that our helthe ●s nat in our handes for if it were we shuld haue lost it within a whyle but in the hande of god oute of whose hande no power can take it and also that we be the shepe of christ which can nat be rauysshed oute of his hande for as him selfe saythe No parson shall take thē away nor bereue me of thē And this must we beleue surely that he came to saue synners in as moch as we be synners he is com to saue vs the more that the soule perceyueth hī selfe opprest with gret horrible synnes so moch the more to haue confydēce in the deth of our sauyour whiche satisfyed for al the syn of the world leuynge to haue any truste in hys good workes but only to haue confydence in the greate goodnesse of god which he declared habundantlye in the passyon and dethe of his sōne For if by workes a mā might accomplyssh fulfyl the law christ suffred deth in vayne Wherfore on Jesus only must we set all our confydence Now we must nat bicause Christ is come to saue synners to helpe thē that be diseased We must nat therefore synne styll to the ende that he shulde saue vs styll for we haue done to moche alredye synne euery day synne euery houre sore for there is nat so rightuouse a man but he synneth at the lest seuen tymes a day but those same sinnes of the rightuouse man be nat imputed vnto him bycause that the spirit of god is within him for they be nat in him for as touchyng the inwarde man and in that that he hath the spirit he synneth nat For the fayth contynueth hole and parfeyte in the spiryt which faith hath put awaye the hole body of synne so that synne ●●ygneth nat in vs bycause we be made newe creatures though now and than by the reason of our wekenesse we do synne yet this synne is nat imputed bycause of the stryfe that we haue agaīst it And for this cause must we humble our selfe before god knowlege our selfe to be sīners also haue a sure belefe that our synnes be forgiuen vs euyn as we be assured by the infallyble promyses of god for as moch as we beleue so moch receyue we of god as he sayde Accordyng to your faith so be it to you
