and hold hym by hys God How could a man haue ony hope or truste in hys hart seynge he is not stedfastlye perswaded that mercy can be optayned for the whiche he maye hope seynge y e hope lōgyngefor cōmeth by fayth Because now that man doth not beleue therfore can he also not hope ony such good as is promysed hī by faith nother cā he loue dewly the geuer of y e good y t hath promised hym so much of it this may we perceaue by y e childrē of Israel y e LORD promised to geue Abrahā al y e lōd of Canaā afterward whā he wold haue sent Moses vnto Pharao to deliuer the same people he promised vnto Moses to geue thē y e lond y t flowed with milke hony Now y t god was mynded thus to do y t did he shew euidētly in deliueryng y t people frō Pharaos hādes leadyng thē straūgly thorow the reede see and fedinge them with heauenlye bread But howe happened it For whan they had ony lettynge by the way by reason of theyr mysbelefe and vnthankfulnesse and had forgotten the benefytes shewed vnto them of God than fell they to murmurynge and deceuerynge frō God and hys worde Agayne what tyme as the spyes had searched out● the londe of promyse and came and shewed all thynges vnto the chylderen of Israell howe they had sene greate giauntes in comparison of whom they were but greshoppers and that the indwellers of the lond were stronge and myghty men and that theyr cyties were hygh walled The chylderen of Israell hearynge thys were sore astonnyed murmured agaynste God Moses Aaron sayenge that they wolde turne back agayne in to Egypte All thys murmurynge came of mysbelefe For yf they had stād stedfastly to his worde and bydden sure by hys promyses they shulde haue answered sayde We shall ouercoeme that nacyon ryght well and take the londe in possessyon though they were thousand tymes stronger For the LORDE hath promysed and geuē it vs. But seynge they fel frō gods word hys promyses leanynge to theyr owne polyce and strength therfore semed it vnto them vnpossible Neuerthelesse it was possible wyth God and thorowe God as hys worde dyd assure them Seynge than y t God made suche a promyse vnto them and that they decyuered from hys behestynges therfore had they no hope to take in the londe of promyse Wherfor they were vnworthye of it and haue not entred in to the rest which God promysed them For thys cause cōmeth Paull and warneth vs of thys wycked vnbelefe sayenge Let vs feare therfore leste ony of vs forsakynge y ● promyse of entrynge in to his rest shulde seme to come behynde for it is declared vnto vs as well as vnto them But the worde of preachynge helped not them whan they y t herde it beleued it not By these reasons is it declared vnto vs euydently howe hurtefull mysbelefe is vnto vs. We cā do God no more wrong nor bring more losse vnto oure soule than in y t we geue no more credēce to his wordes which not withstōding is faith full vnto vs in all hys promyses Thys also complayned CHRIST to y e Iewes sayenge The father which sente me beareth wytnesse hymselfe of me Ye haue nother herd his voyce norsene hys shape at ony tyme You haue not hys worde abydynge in you for ye beleue hym not whom he hath sente I am come in my fathers name and ye receaue me not Yf another come in hys own name hym shall ye receaue How can ye beleue which receaue prayse one of an other and seke not the prayse which is of God onely Yf ye beleued Moses ye shulde beleue me also For he hath written of me But yf ye beleue not hys wrytynges how shall ye beleue my wordes ye wyll not come vnto me that ye myghte haue lyfe He y t beleueth not God hath made hym a lyar because he hath not beleued the recorde that God hath testyfyed of hys sonne And this is the recorde euen that God hath geuen vs euerlastyng lyfe And thys lyfe is in hys sonne He that hath the sonne of God hath lyfe Hereby is it euydent that yf we couet to be conforted in God thā shal we seke it in his word and take recorde of the same howe we maye come to hys mercye So muche fayth as we geue to his wordes so muche shall oure knowlege be also of hys goodnesse and so muche shall we be comforted of hym Howe can we be fully comforted seynge we do so sore wauet stonde not stedfaste in hys worde whiche hys goodnesse doth declare vnto vs For all that doth conforte vs commeth of God The father loueth the sonne and hath geuen all thynges in hys handes Whoso beleueth in the sonne hath lyfe euerlastynge But he that beleueth not in the sonne shall not se lyfe but the wrath of God abydeth vpon hym Thys doth scrypture specifye vnto vs that we shulde knowe the cause and occasyon of all euel that is mysbelefe and it is the cause y t we know not God nor haue ony loue toward hym Nowe whan the loue of God is banyshed than doth man lyghtelye fall to all maner of wyckednesse Therfore sayde CHRISTE Whan the holy goost commeth he shall rebuke the worlde of synne of ryghteousnesse and of iudgemente Of synne because they beleued not on me Of ryghteousnesse because I go to the father Wo be vnto them that are lowse or harte whiche put not theyr trust in God and therfore shall they not be defended of hym Againe They that fear the LORDE wyll not mystrust his worde they that loue hym wyll kepe his cōmaūdementes Thus maye we se how y t whan man knoweth not what God hath cōmaunded hym nor standeth stedfastly vpon God thorow fayth how then I saye he falleth vnto extreme vnkindnesse without ony dredyng of God Mysbelefe therfore is the cause and occasion of al synnes wherof man shalbe iudged For yf y e fyrst man had bydden fast by Gods worde he shulde not haue fallen to synnynge Therfore sayd CHRIST The workes y t I do in my fathers name they bear wytnesse of me but ye beleue not because ye are not of my shepe Baruch also sayeth But how happeneth it Israell that thou art in thyn enemyes lande thou art waxen olde in a straūge contry and defyled with y t dead Why art thou become lyke vnto them y t go downe to theyr graues Euen because thou hast forsaken the well of wysedome Truely yf thou haddest walked in the waye of God thou shuldest haue remayned styll safe in thyne owne lande Euen this same complaineth the LORDE also by Ieremy the prophete sayenge What vnfaythfulnesse founde youre fathers in me y t they wente away so farre fro me fallynge to lyghtnesse and beynge so vayne They thought not in theyr hartes Where haue we left the LORDE that brought vs out of the lande
