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

lewis_n devil_n for_o knowledge_n bring_v no_o grief_n but_o rather_o gladness_n as_o which_o leave_v the_o old_a man_n unminish_v for_o although_o you_o can_v skill_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o

the_o greatness_n of_o the_o love_n towards_o the_o flesh_n like_a as_o if_o you_o be_v to_o forsake_v your_o country_n look_v how_o much_o you_o be_v in_o love_n with_o your_o country_n us._n so_o

will_v be_v save_v see_v that_o you_o hate_v yourself_o and_o forsake_v yourself_o example_n and_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o a_o example_n of_o this_o forsake_v if_o a_o servant_n give_v over_o himself_o in_o bondage_n to_o you_o he_o abandon_v himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v himself_o his_o own_o liberty_n and_o will_n thenceforth_o to_o follow_v your_o will_n and_o not_o his_o own_o oftentimes_o when_o he_o will_v sleep_v he_o must_v watch_v if_o his_o master_n command_v he_o when_o he_o will_v go_v abroad_o he_o must_v tarry_v at_o home_n when_o he_o will_v play_v he_o must_v work_v and_o at_o a_o word_n he_o so_o forgo_v his_o own_o freedom_n that_o if_o he_o be_v ask_v what_o he_o will_v do_v or_o what_o he_o mind_v to_o do_v he_o must_v answer_v what_o his_o master_n list_v at_o who_o appointment_n he_o be_v so_o we_o if_o we_o belong_v to_o christ_n who_o have_v buy_v we_o at_o a_o great_a price_n be_v not_o at_o our_o own_o disposition_n or_o appointment_n but_o at_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v do_v not_o what_o we_o list_v but_o what_o he_o list_v and_o worthy_o for_o if_o he_o be_v the_o way_n and_o the_o truth_n do_v notwithstanding_o so_o

and_o leasing_n therefore_o when_o you_o be_v about_o to_o be_v angry_a without_o cause_n you_o must_v restrain_v your_o anger_n at_o the_o appointment_n of_o christ._n when_o you_o will_v give_v yourself_o to_o voluptuousness_n you_o must_v abstain_v and_o give_v yourself_o to_o sorrow_v when_o you_o will_v be_v avenge_v of_o any_o body_n you_o must_v forgive_v he_o when_o you_o will_v do_v a_o man_n harm_n you_o must_v do_v he_o good_a when_o you_o will_v laugh_v you_o must_v weep_v when_o you_o will_v sue_v for_o honour_n you_o must_v endure_v shame_n when_o you_o will_v seek_v riches_n you_o must_v suffer_v poverty_n and_o to_o be_v short_a you_o must_v in_o such_o wise_a depart_n from_o your_o own_o will_n as_o if_o you_o be_v ask_v what_o you_o will_v do_v you_o may_v answer_v nothing_o but_o what_o christ_n list_v and_o all_o these_o thing_n shall_v you_o do_v through_o faith_n for_o unless_o you_o beleve_v you_o will_v not_o do_v they_o but_o it_o be_v
