be_v teach_v to_o do_v they_o and_o god_n also_o many_o time_n do_v temporal_o reward_v man_n for_o do_v the_o same_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o meritoriouse_a nor_o avaylable_a to_o the_o attain_a of_o everlasting_a life_n when_o they_o be_v not_o do_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o be_v not_o account_v among_o the_o good_a work_n whereof_o we_o do_v here_o entreat_v but_o we_o speak_v of_o such_o outward_a and_o inward_a work_n as_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o we_o to_o walk_v in_o and_o be_v do_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n for_o love_n and_o respect_n to_o god_n and_o can_v not_o be_v bring_v forth_o only_o by_o man_n power_n but_o he_o must_v be_v prevent_v and_o holpen_v thereto_o by_o a_o special_a grace_n and_o these_o work_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n for_o some_o be_v such_o as_o man_n true_o justify_v and_o so_o continue_v do_v work_n in_o charity_n of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o a_o unfeigned_a faith_n which_o work_v although_o they_o be_v of_o themselves_o unworthy_a unperfect_a and_o unsufficient_a yet_o for_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v do_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o christ_n and_o by_o the_o virtue_n &_o merit_n of_o his_o passion_n their_o unperfectue_n be_v supply_v the_o merciful_a goodness_n of_o god_n accept_v they_o as_o a_o observation_n and_o fulfillinge_v of_o his_o law_n and_o they_o be_v the_o very_a service_n of_o god_n and_o be_v meritoryouse_a towards_o the_o atteyninge_v of_o everlasting_a life_n and_o these_o be_v call_v the_o work_n and_o fruit_n of_o rightuousnesse_n other_o work_n there_o be_v which_o be_v not_o so_o perfect_a as_o these_o &_o yet_o they_o be_v do_v by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n in_o faith_n and_o good_a affection_n of_o heart_n towards_o god_n as_o those_o be_v which_o man_n that_o have_v be_v in_o deadly_a sin_n and_o by_o grace_n turn_v to_o god_n do_v work_n &_o bring_v forth_o upon_o respect_n and_o remorse_n that_o they_o have_v for_o their_o offence_n do_v against_o god_n and_o these_o may_v be_v call_v propre_o the_o work_n of_o penance_n as_o for_o exaumple_v when_o a_o sinner_n hear_v or_o remember_v the_o law_n of_o god_n be_v move_v by_o grace_n to_o be_v contrite_a and_o sorry_a for_o his_o offence_n and_o begin_v to_o lament_v his_o estate_n &_o to_o fall_v to_o prayer_n and_o other_o good_a dede_n seek_v to_o avoid_v the_o indignation_n of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v reconcile_v in_o to_o his_o favour_n these_o work_n come_v of_o grace_n but_o yet_o this_o man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v account_v a_o justify_v man_n but_o he_o be_v yet_o in_o seek_v remission_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o his_o justification_n which_o the_o anguish_n of_o his_o own_o conscience_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o yet_o want_v but_o he_o be_v in_o a_o good_a way_n and_o by_o these_o mean_n do_v entre_fw-fr into_o justification_n and_o if_o he_o do_v proceed_v &_o with_o hearty_a devotion_n seek_v for_o further_a grace_n he_o shall_v be_v assure_v of_o remission_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o attain_v his_o justification_n and_o so_o be_v make_v able_a and_o meet_a to_o walk_v in_o the_o very_a pure_a service_n of_o god_n with_o a_o clean_a conscience_n and_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o foresay_a work_n of_o rightuousnes_n in_o christ_n which_o he_o can_v not_o do_v afore_o he_o be_v justify_v and_o that_o such_o work_n of_o penance_n as_o we_o have_v speak_v of_o be_v require_v to_o the_o attain_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n it_o be_v very_o evident_a and_o plain_a by_o scripture_n as_o when_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v be_v penitent_a and_o believe_v the_o gospel_n i._n marc_n i._n that_o be_v to_o say_v first_o be_v contrite_a and_o knowledge_n your_o sin_n &_o than_o receive_v the_o glad_a tiding_n of_o remission_n of_o your_o sin_n and_o saint_n john_n baptist_n preach_v penance_n and_o make_v a_o way_n unto_o christ_n and_o teach_v man_n which_o come_v unto_o he_o what_o they_o shall_v do_v to_o come_v unto_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o he_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o third_o chapter_n of_o luke_n and_o special_o that_o they_o which_o be_v once_o christen_v and_o afterward_o fall_v from_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o mortal_a sin_v can_v not_o recover_v their_o justification_n without_o penance_n it_o be_v plain_a by_o the_o say_n of_o saint_n peter_n unto_o simon_n magus_n where_o he_o say_v seven_o act._n seven_o do_v penance_n for_o this_o thy_o wyckendnes_n and_o pray_v god_n if_o peradventure_o this_o thought_n of_o thy_o hart_n may_v be_v forgyven_v unto_o the._n and_o true_o this_o way_n and_o form_n of_o doctrine_n be_v to_o be_v observe_v which_o be_v the_o very_a trade_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o man_n be_v teach_v first_o to_o leave_v sin_n and_o to_o return_v by_o work_n of_o penance_n unto_o god_n and_o that_o than_o they_o shall_v receive_v remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n and_o although_o such_o work_n of_o penance_n be_v require_v in_o we_o towards_o the_o attain_v of_o remission_n of_o sin_n and_o justification_n yet_o the_o same_o justification_n and_o remission_n of_o sin_n be_v the_o free_a gift_n of_o god_n and_o confer_v unto_o we_o gratis_o that_o be_v to_o say_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n whereby_o we_o do_v such_o thing_n and_o have_v such_o motion_n and_o work_n of_o penance_n be_v prepare_v and_o make_v more_o apt_a to_o receive_v further_a grace_n of_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o justification_n and_o it_o be_v not_o inconvenient_a that_o such_o thing_n shall_v through_o grace_n be_v do_v by_o we_o first_o and_o yet_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v that_o we_o receyve_v the_o say_a gift_n free_o for_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o revelation_n of_o saint_n john_n qui_fw-la sitit_fw-la veniat_fw-la xxii_o apo._n xxii_o &_o qui_fw-la vult_fw-la accipiat_fw-la aquam_fw-la aquavitae_fw-la gratis_o he_o that_o be_v thirsty_a let_v he_o come_v and_o he_o that_o will_v let_v he_o take_v the_o water_n of_o life_n free_o where_o he_o affirm_v this_o gift_n of_o god_n to_o be_v free_o give_v &_o confer_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v require_v some_o labour_n before_o as_o to_o have_v a_o will_n and_o desire_n to_o come_v which_o come_v can_v not_o be_v without_o arise_v by_o faith_n and_o penance_n &_o procede_v in_o the_o same_o &_o so_o to_o take_v the_o water_n of_o life_n that_o be_v to_o say_v justification_n through_o our_o saviour_n christ_n which_o once_o receive_v in_o baptism_n or_o after_o baptism_n be_v recover_v by_o penance_n although_o man_n daily_o do_v offend_v and_o fall_v into_o dyvers_a venial_a sin_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o infirmity_n and_o weakness_n and_o therefore_o have_v need_n of_o continual_a and_o daily_a repentance_n yet_o as_o long_o as_o he_o consent_v not_o to_o deadly_a sin_n he_o lese_v not_o the_o state_n of_o his_o justification_n but_o remain_v still_o the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o be_v in_o that_o state_n have_v power_n by_o goddis_fw-la grace_n dwell_v in_o he_o to_o do_v such_o work_n as_o by_o acceptation_n of_o god_n through_o christ_n be_v count_v work_n of_o rightuousnes_n and_o do_v serve_v for_o the_o preservation_n and_o increase_n of_o his_o far_a justification_n and_o be_v appoint_v by_o goddis_fw-la most_o gracious_a promise_n to_o have_v everlasting_a reward_n in_o heaven_n which_o both_o inward_a and_o outward_a work_n be_v not_o only_o the_o declare_v of_o our_o faith_n and_o confidence_n in_o god_n and_o of_o the_o grace_n which_o we_o have_v receyve_v but_o also_o a_o continual_a exercise_n nourishment_n preservation_n increase_n and_o perfection_n of_o the_o same_o for_o if_o we_o shall_v not_o after_o that_o we_o have_v

and_o justification_n which_o we_o be_v once_o set_v in_o and_o become_v again_o the_o servant_n of_o sin_n and_o as_o saint_n peter_n say_v we_o shall_v be_v in_o worse_a case_n two_o two_o pet._n two_o than_o we_o be_v before_o we_o receyve_v the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o we_o increase_n in_o grace_n by_o work_v in_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n one_o receyve_v it_o appear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n where_o he_o say_v omni_fw-la habenti_fw-la dabitur_fw-la &_o abundabit_fw-la mean_v thereby_o that_o who_o so_o ever_o use_v well_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n
