Wherein by the waie is shewed, how farre wee are behinde, not onely our fore-fathers in good workes, but also many other creatures in the endes of our creation: with the difference betwixt the pretenced [sic] good workes of the Antichristian Papist, and the good workes of the Christian Protestant.

warrant_n at_o all_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o rather_o quite_o contrary_a &_o utter_o repugnant_a shall_v merit_v and_o deserve_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o everlasting_a life_n be_v indeed_o such_o as_o christ_n speak_v of_o in_o vain_a do_v they_o worship_v i_o teach_v for_o doctrine_n the_o ordinance_n of_o man_n but_o to_o conclude_v this_o point_n the_o apostle_n say_v whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n but_o these_o work_n of_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o therefore_o be_v sin_n and_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n i_o reason_v thus_o whatsoever_o have_v not_o his_o ground_n and_o warrant_v out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o of_o faith_n but_o these_o work_n have_v not_o any_o ground_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n therefore_o will_v i_o counsel_v all_o papist_n to_o abandon_v their_o work_n especial_o these_o which_o i_o have_v recite_v to_o the_o devil_n their_o author_n from_o who_o they_o first_o come_v and_o to_o do_v those_o work_n which_o god_n have_v in_o his_o holy_a word_n command_v and_o which_o in_o mercy_n but_o not_o in_o

command_v we_o to_o do_v in_o his_o holy_a word_n i_o will_v decipher_v forth_o unto_o they_o though_o not_o all_o yet_o some_o of_o they_o in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o i_o can_v the_o 4._o section_n contain_v a_o description_n of_o such_o work_n as_o the_o protestant_n do_v account_n for_o good_a work_n and_o which_o in_o deed_n be_v good_a work_n and_o ground_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o god_n wherein_o by_o the_o way_n also_o be_v show_v every_a one_o duty_n in_o his_o several_a call_n in_o this_o life_n our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o the_o five_o &_o twentieth_o of_o saint_n mathewes_n gospel_n set_v down_o a_o notable_a catalogue_n of_o good_a work_n among_o which_o he_o account_v this_o to_o be_v one_o namely_o to_o feed_v the_o hungry_a to_o give_v drink_n to_o the_o thirsty_a to_o clothe_v the_o naked_a to_o visit_v the_o sick_a and_o those_o that_o be_v in_o prison_n to_o lodge_v the_o harbourlesse_a and_o to_o entertain_v stranger_n and_o way-faring_a man_n this_o do_v

in_o stranger_n way-faring_a man_n and_o traveller_n &_o to_o relieve_v they_o and_o therefore_o when_o the_o angel_n come_v to_o he_o in_o the_o form_n of_o man_n he_o be_v note_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o have_v entreat_v they_o nay_o to_o have_v compel_v they_o to_o eat_v meat_n with_o he_o in_o his_o house_n good_a father_n lot_n do_v the_o very_a same_o watch_v in_o his_o door_n or_o gate_n to_o harbour_v poor_a stranger_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o angel_n come_v into_o sodom_n like_o stranger_n &_o pilgrim_n he_o compel_v they_o in_o some_o sort_n 3._o to_o enter_v into_o his_o house_n and_o to_o take_v such_o lodging_n and_o entertainment_n as_o the_o country_n will_v yield_v and_o his_o state_n be_v able_a to_o afford_v and_o hereby_o many_o as_o the_o apostle_n note_v have_v receyve_v angel_n into_o their_o house_n at_o unaware_o in_o the_o form_n of_o man_n but_o now_o adays_o there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v so_o far_o off_o from_o this_o kind_n of_o
