of the tyme he must nedis set faith before works as is the tree before it blometh and the blomes before the frute The seade iâ— caste into the erthe before it growthe and frâ—â—tifieth The sead is the worde of God sayth Christe And nighe vnto the is the worde of faith euen in thyne herte and mouth Faith is effectuous and worketh by loue And the ende of the precepte is loue owte of a pure herte by faith harts ar made pure sayth Peter and a good conscience and of faith vnfai ned I thinke Win. is not so ignorant in his Gramer as to englisshe this texte of Paul Fides que operatur per â—ilectionem as did Iohn fisâ—her the bisshop of Rochester in his sermon at Pauls crosse and aftâ—rwarde prin ted thus englisshed faith which is wrought by charite so settiÌ„g the carte before the horse and like an vngodly gardener to peruert and turne the rotes of his plantes and herbes vpward of which I herde as it were an olde prophecye xl yeres agoo that siche an Antichriste shuld come to peruerte the iustificacion of faith and turne Christes religion vpsedown I am sewer he wilnot set works before faith no not in the yong baptized infants nor yet in Paul at his conuersioÌ„ nor in the thef hanginge by christe crucifyed It is trweth that workes beinge the frutes of faith standing in their own place proceding out of faith iustifying diminish not theffect of christs passion For we ar made in christe Iesu to do the good works which god hathe prepared that we shulde walke in them We ar saued frely by faith saith Paul yea that not of works for it is the gyfte of god that we be saued by faith and not for our works lest any man shuld reioyce in his own dedis But if winc put his works in the place and office of faith as the condicion with out the which noman is iustifyed so diminisheth he yea he is iniuriouse and blasphemouse vnto theffect of christis passion for by this doctrine his diminute imperfâ—cte and wiked workes shulde deserue vs forgeuenes of synnes as though christes bloude and so plentuous a redempcion in christe were not sufficiente If by the lawe saith Paul meÌ„ be made rightwyse so is christe ded in vayne Loue muste fulfill the condicioÌ„ saith he ergo the works of the lawe ar his condicion Ro. xiij Nowe let vs see what loue god asketh of vs for if we haue not that loue we shall neuer fulfill Win. condicion God coÌ„mandeth vs to loue him with owr hole hertes minds soulis with all owr strength and owr neighbours yea and owr enimies to as owr selues yea and that euen as christe loued vs which died for vs being his enymies He biddeth vs to be perfit and holy as himselfe is not to be so angrye with our brother as to prouoke him with any euill worde to anger nor to desier any other maÌ„s good seruaÌ„t wife c no not to loue our oun liuis in his cause but to haate our flessh dye for his sake Now tell me Win. if any one man hath this loue and so fulfilled your condicion or els dare yourself affirme to haue fulffylled it if ye haue not ergo by your own words ye shall neuer enioye theffect of christes passion and yet speke I not of the perfit faith and hope that euery man in god is bownd to haue beware therfor Win. how ye set your saluacion vpoÌ„ so harde a condicion leste ye come to shorte of the gates shuttinge with your v. folisshe virgens If you had once fulfilled as you neuer shall your condicion and so perseueringe you nede not to praye Father forgeue me my dettes nor neuer to saye your Pater noster For ye owe no loue nether vnto god nor maÌ„ ye haue payd all And yet saith Paul owe ye nothing to any man but mutuall loue shewinge loue to be a dette euer in paying and neuer full payd We shal answere for euery idle word saith christe But if Win. had accomplisshed his condicion so might he go play iustle in iugement with christe for his saluacion hauinge no nede of Christis passion then mighte he clayme heuen of dewty make grace no grace which is a mere free gyfte vndeserued of any man and thus were he one of those iuste prelates whom Christe sayde he came not to call Is not he a prowd foole to whom wheÌ„ god geueth a free iustificacion in christe yet wil he refuse to take it but vpon a condicioÌ„ that he deserue it with siche works as himself is ne uer able to performe what arrogante foole wold thus condicion himselfe agenste gods wyll Peter considering this importable coÌ„dicion sayd by faith god purifyeth their her tes and wherfore theÌ„ do ye now tempt god somich â—aing siche a voâ—â— vpon mens necks which nether owr fathers nor we be able to bere By the grace of owr Lorde Iesu christe we beleue vs to be saued as were owr fathers If we shuld say that we haue no sinne in vs so ar we lyers Wherfore the scrip turis conclude euery man to be a sinner and iâ—fidele that of almen God â—oughte haue mercye And that the promyse oute of faith in Iesu Christe shulde be geuen to the beleuers Onely Christe fulfilled the lawe And if Winâ— wold mok out Paul sayinge that when he concluded so oft man to be frely iustifyed by faith onely withowt the workes of the lawe that he ment by the workis of the lawe but circumcision and the other ce remonies now abrogated and not the lawe of the commandements Then let him heare Paul expowning himselfe of what lawe he ment answering to siche obieccions By the lawe saith he cometh the knowlege of sinne and I had not knowne coÌ„upiscence to haue ben syn had not the lawe sayde Thou shalt not haue any concupiscens or luste And theÌ„ when he wrote his pistles circumcision and the rytes and ceremonyes were abrogated among the christen Iewes and the Gentyles neuer were bownde to them as was Abraham iustifyed by faith onely ere the law was writen and before he was circumcised And Peter sayd that this same lawe whiche Paul excludeth from iustificacioÌ„ and Wine callethe his condicion is a yoke importable which proueth it not to be circumcision nor any of their ceremonies of Moses law for these were lyghte enoughe to bere lyghter easyer theÌ„ to not luste or desyer any thing agenst gods will or for a riche maÌ„ to forsake all giue it to the pore or for Win. to cast of his pryde his bisshopryke with all his vaynglorye and to become the humble pore pure persecuted
