A08197	The oration and sermon made at Rome by commaundement of the foure cardinalles, and the Dominican inquisitour, vpon paine of death. By Iohn Nichols, latelie the Popes scholler. Which sermon and oration was presented before the Pope and his cardinalles in his Consistorie, the xxvij. day of Maie. 1578. and remaineth there registred. Now by him brought into the English tongue, for the great comfort and commoditie of all faithfull Christians. Heerin also is aunswered an infamous libell, maliciouslie written and cast abroad, against the saide Iohn Nichols, with a sufficient discharge of himselfe from all the Papists lying reports, and his owne life both largelie and amplie discouered.	Nicholls, John, 1555-1584?	1581 (1581)	STC 18535; ESTC S105660	86,257	238

Father in heauen Iohn 6.56.57 And againe Faith is the ladder that reacheth vp to heauen and by which euen nowe we remayne and sitte in the heauenly places with Christ Ephe. 2.6 Faith is the hand by which we take holde of Christe in whome is performed all the promises of God to his elect 2. Cor. 1.20 Faith is that weapō by which we ouercome the world the end wherof is the saluatiō of our soules Faith is a cleare and effectual persuasion wrought not in the bodily eares but in the eares of the heart not by men but by the holy ghost wherby we are made certaine and sure to be the sonnes of God Faith as it is written in the. 8. Cha. to the Rom. is a firme cōstant and perseuering trust in the boūtifulnes of God Faith is a lyght which lyfteth vp rauisheth aboue all sensible things and beyond that any man is not able to make discourse to comprehende the breadth length height and depth of those things which are to vs incomprehensible with naturall eyes Faith is a cleere eye of the mind wherewith pearcing through the heauens we doo see the diuine secretes of God Faith is a quickening cleere and fiery lyght which purgeth our heartes and delyuereth vs from the darke and inextricable Laborinthes of the vaine shadowes of this worlde by which we guide our blinde reason and are lyfted vp to an high estate so that by the taste of heauenly thinges we despise humane thinges Roma 4. Faith maketh vs to conceiue Christe spirituallie and by force of the spirite to be borne againe with lyfting vs vp vnto God it maketh vs put of the olde Adam and his concupiscences and to put on Christe with his vertues and to become of vngodlie iust temples of God and his chyldren brothers and members of Christe Faith iustifieth pacifieth the minde and conscience maketh merie causeth to reioyce and in such sort that we glory euen in shame This faith is such that it reneweth vs regenerateth vs quickeneth maketh noble enritcheth saueth sanctifieth preserueth defendeth and obteyneth that which it demaundeth Faith knitteth vs to God maketh vs his heyres and Children the brothers of Christe and his members yea it maketh vs diuine and happy Faith is that which in Abell made him offer Sacrifices acceptable to God In Noe caused him to frame the Arke for the sauegarde of the worlde Made Sara to conceyue and that Abraham offred his owne sonne to God Caused Moses to worke so many woonders in Egipt and in the wyldernesse Faith made the Prophets to speake loosed the tongue of Zacharias and saued men in daunger made Simeon not to feare death also made Paule to wishe for it This in the Saintes caused them ouercomming the world that they haue wrought woonderfull thinges through looue But what néede I speake any more Faith is a vertue so noble excellent and woorthy that howe much the more a man considereth of it so much the more wyll it discouer the perfection Therefore he which hath tasted it wyll neuer be satisfied with speaking in prayse thereof Whereas those which neuer haue felt nor tried it in them selues can as much speake thereof as one that is blinde can discerne of coullours yea if those speake of it as those which be carnall and brutishe they doo not vnderstand it nor knowe the excellencie thereof He that hath this liuely Faith wherof the scripture in sundry places speaketh and so highlie commendeth with so many tytles before specified he is sure to be iustified he is sure to be saued This faith made Abraham righteous Gen. 15.6 By this faith the iust lyueth Haba 2.4 This faith made the woman whole to whome Iesus sayde Confide filia fides tua saluam te fecit Daughter be of good comfort thy faith hath made thee whole 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Be not afrayde Saith Luke in the ●● Chapt. 48. verse Beleeue onely And he sayde to the woman H 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Thy Fayth hath saued thee goe in peace To him giue all the Prophetes witnesse That through his name all that beleeue in him shall receyue remission of sinnes Actes 10.43 And put no difference betwéene vs and them after that by fayth hee had purified theyr heartes There is no dyfference For all haue sinned Sayth Saint Paule Roma 3.23 and are depriued of the glorie of GOD and are iustified freelie by his grace through the redemption that is in Christe Iesus Therefore wée conclude that a man is iustified by Faith without the workes of the Lawe but to him that worketh not but beléeueth in him that iustifieth the vngodlye his Faith is coumpted for ryghteousnesse wée béeing iustified by Faith wée haue peace towards God through Iesus Christe Knowe that a man is not iustifyed by the workes of the Lawe but by the Fayth of Iesus Christe Euen as I saye we haue beleeued in Iesus Christe that we might be iustified by the faith of Iesus Christe and not by the workes of the Lawe Because that by the workes of the Lawe no flesh shall be iustified Gala. 2.16 Againe if righteousnesse be by the law then Christe dyed without a cause And that no man is iustified by the lawe in the sight of God it is euident For the iust shall liue by faith Gala. 3.
