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

nevertheless_o it_o be_v to_o small_a purpose_n to_o believe_v that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o obey_v god_n unless_o a_o man_n do_v also_o know_v the_o way_n how_o god_n may_v be_v obey_v without_o the_o which_o obedience_n faith_n be_v dead_a &_o without_o faith_n no_o man_n can_v be_v save_v dead_a but_o this_o i_o will_v have_v you_o to_o be_v persuade_v of_o my_o lewis_n that_o the_o

lew._n these_o thing_n be_v true_a fredrick_n therefore_o that_o i_o may_v fare_v somewhat_o the_o better_a by_o your_o communication_n i_o pray_v you_o show_v i_o by_o what_o mean_v i_o may_v attain_v to_o obey_v god_n for_o inasmuch_o as_o you_o have_v show_v i_o by_o your_o talk_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a to_o be_v do_v i_o have_v conceive_v a_o desire_n of_o obey_v fred._n o_o my_o

to_o lead_v you_o further_o than_o i_o myself_o have_v attain_v unto_o lew._n yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o believe_v you_o have_v proceed_v further_a forward_o than_o i_o have_v do_v &_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o show_v i_o but_o as_o far_o as_o you_o yourself_o be_v go_v fred._n willing_o will_v i_o do_v that_o lewis_n but_o i_o be_o afraid_a the_o hardness_n and_o roughness_n of_o the_o way_n will_v scare_v you_o from_o it_o lew._n fear_v not_o i_o hope_v i_o be_o ready_a to_o all_o thing_n be_v they_o never_o so_o hard_a so_o i_o may_v attain_v to_o the_o end_n that_o i_o desire_v fred._n i_o pray_v god_n to_o establish_v this_o willingness_n of_o you_o &_o to_o bring_v it_o throughout_o to_o the_o end_n and_o therefore_o to_o go_v in_o hand_n with_o the_o matter_n you_o know_v how_o the_o author_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n have_v write_v that_o without_o say_v it_o be_v unpossible_a to_o please_v god_n lew._n i_o know_v it_o well_o fred._n salvation_n first_o of_o all_o than_o you_o must_v believe_v in_o god_n if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v lew._n proceed_v on_o then_o to_o the_o other_o thing_n my_o frederick_n for_o as_o concern_v belief_n i_o have_v ever_o from_o my_o childhood_n believe_v in_o god_n and_o true_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o there_o be_v very_o few_o if_o there_o be_v any_o at_o all_o which_o believe_v not_o in_o god_n fred._n do_v indeed_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o be_v say_v and_o so_o be_v man_n common_o persuade_v but_o i_o fear_v i_o it_o be_v say_v rather_o rash_o and_o of_o custom_n then_o of_o truth_n for_o the_o time_n have_v be_v that_o even_o i_o also_o have_v believe_v the_o same_o both_o of_o myself_o and_o of_o other_o but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o the_o trial_n than_o i_o see_v how_o far_o of_o i_o be_v lew._n think_v you_o then_o that_o i_o have_v no_o faith_n fred._n i_o be_o not_o of_o opinion_n that_o you_o have_v no_o faith_n lewis_n but_o i_o think_v you_o have_v so_o slender_a a_o faith_n as_o it_o can_v right_o be_v say_v to_o be_v faith_n or_o save_v you_o and_o i_o pray_v you_o be_v not_o offend_v with_o i_o for_o in_o as_o much_o as_o you_o have_v say_v that_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o all_o thing_n be_v they_o never_o so_o hard_a it_o be_v meet_v afore_o all_o thing_n that_o

that_o to_o obey_v be_v not_o a_o hard_a matter_n then_o to_o work_v miracle_n and_o yet_o that_o to_o obey_v belong_v to_o all_o believer_n whereas_o to_o work_v miracle_n belong_v not_o to_o all_o as_o i_o have_v show_v afore_o lew._n indeed_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a frederick_n but_o yet_o there_o remain_v one_o thing_n which_o i_o will_v fain_o have_v open_v unto_o i_o you_o say_v even_o now_o that_o all_o man_n believe_v christ_n history_n but_o not_o his_o commandment_n likewise_o credible_a but_o if_o they_o believe_v y_o e_o whole_a story_n of_o christ_n &_o special_o his_o resurrection_n in_o my_o opinion_n they_o shall_v believe_v all_o the_o other_o thing_n also_o for_o no_o doubt_n but_o if_o they_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a in_o so_o do_v they_o shall_v both_o believe_v that_o he_o be_v the_o very_a son_n of_o god_n indeed_o and_o moreover_o give_v credit_n to_o all_o his_o say_n in_o which_o respect_n john_n say_v these_o thing_n be_v write_v to_o the_o intent_n you_o may_v believe_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o anoint_a son_n of_o god_n and_o that_o through_o believe_v it_o you_o shall_v obtain_v life_n by_o his_o name_n fred._n whereas_o i_o deny_v that_o they_o believe_v his_o commandment_n i_o will_v not_o have_v it_o so_o take_v as_o though_o they_o believe_v not_o that_o his_o command_v of_o those_o thing_n be_v well_o and_o as_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o do_v but_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o they_o believe_v not_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o he_o command_v to_o be_v do_v behalf_n be_v either_o possible_a or_o needful_a to_o be_v do_v misconstrue_v they_o after_o their_o own_o fancy_n &_o not_o according_a to_o his_o mind_n i_o say_v they_o believe_v they_o not_o aright_o for_o your_o better_a understanding_n whereof_o i_o will_v give_v you_o a_o example_n when_o god_n have_v bring_v the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n command_v they_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n do_v they_o believe_v that_o god_n command_v it_o lew._n yea_o very_o or_o else_o they_o will_v never_o have_v send_v spy_n into_o the_o land_n of_o canaan_n fred._n why_o then_o do_v they_o not_o obey_v he_o lew._n because_o they_o be_v of_o opinion_n that_o the_o canaanites_n can_v not_o be_v overcome_v and_o that_o god_n have_v bring_v they_o out_o of_o egypt_n commandment_n not_o to_o conquer_v canaan_n but_o to_o perish_v wretched_o in_o the_o wilderness_n fred._n then_o do_v they_o not_o believe_v god_n commandment_n according_a to_o god_n meaning_n forasmuch_o as_o his_o meaning_n be_v that_o they_o shall_v have_v invade_v canaan_n &_o subdue_v the_o canaanite_n lew._n you_o say_v the_o truth_n fred._n then_o do_v they_o not_o believe_v aright_o lew._n no_o not_o aright_o fred._n whether_o then_o be_v they_o to_o be_v call_v believer_n or_o unbeliever_n lew._n true_o by_o this_o reason_n they_o shall_v be_v call_v unbeléever_n fred._n and_o sooth_o so_o they_o be_v lewis_n in_o very_a deed_n for_o in_o the_o very_a same_o place_n god_n call_v they_o unbeliever_n in_o these_o word_n how_o long_o will_v this_o people_n spite_v i_o how_o long_o will_v it_o be_v ere_o they_o will_v believe_v i_o for_o all_o the_o miracle_n which_o i_o have_v wrought_v among_o they_o now_o if_o these_o be_v just_o call_v unbeliever_n the_o same_o reason_n lead_v we_o to_o call_v the_o other_o unbeliever_n and_o distruster_n of_o christ_n commandment_n forasmuch_o as_o they_o do_v no_o less_o misconstrue_v the_o precept_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o israelite_n do_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n for_o christ_n have_v not_o wrought_v few_o miracle_n to_o we_o than_o moses_n do_v to_o they_o neither_o do_v christ_n command_v we_o less_o earnest_o to_o subdue_v sin_n than_o god_n command_v they_o to_o subdue_v the_o canaanite_n neither_o be_v we_o less_o spiteful_a &_o distrustful_a towards_o he_o if_o we_o deny_v that_o sin_n may_v be_v subdue_v when_o as_o he_o both_o command_v we_o and_o promise_v we_o strength_n then_o they_o be_v spiteful_a and_o distrustful_a towards_o god_n in_o deny_v it_o to_o be_v possible_a to_o overcome_v the_o canaanite_n neither_o do_v we_o offend_v less_o against_o the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o deny_v that_o it_o be_v either_o possible_a for_o we_o or_o mean_v by_o christ_n that_o we_o shall_v do_v the_o thing_n which_o he_o have_v command_v we_o to_o do_v than_o the_o israelite_n offend_v against_o the_o meaning_n of_o god_n when_o they_o wrest_v it_o another_o way_n then_o his_o open_a word_n import_v and_o therefore_o in_o deny_v they_o to_o believe_v christ_n commandment_n i_o do_v they_o no_o wrong_n as_o touch_v the_o place_n of_o john_n by_o you_o allege_v understand_v it_o be_v to_o be_v take_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v say_v at_o that_o time_n to_o the_o israelite_n god_n have_v wrought_v these_o miracle_n for_o your_o sake_n in_o egypt_n to_o the_o intent_n you_o shall_v believe_v and_o by_o believe_v enter_v into_o the_o rest_a place_n of_o canaan_n but_o the_o cause_n why_o all_o of_o they_o come_v not_o there_o be_v not_o god_n purpose_n but_o their_o own_o harden_v of_o their_o heart_n against_o he_o which_o thing_n will_v god_n be_v not_o do_v in_o christ_n also_o but_o we_o see_v it_o be_v so_o howbeit_o the_o author_n of_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n warn_v we_o not_o to_o do_v it_o cite_v this_o say_n out_o of_o a_o certain_a psalm_n 95.8_o to_o day_n if_o you_o hear_v his_o voice_n harden_v not_o your_o heart_n as_o your_o forefather_n do_v harden_v they_o truth_n therefore_o to_o return_v again_o to_o the_o matter_n whereas_o these_o man_n be_v wont_n so_o diligent_o to_o pick_v out_o the_o thing_n to_o believe_v which_o belong_v to_o the_o office_n of_o god_n &_o to_o refuse_v the_o thing_n that_o pertain_v to_o the_o duty_n of_o man_n i_o pray_v you_o what_o a_o deal_n be_v it_o god_n gracious_a goodness_n have_v yield_v salvation_n to_o all_o man_n o_o how_o glad_o be_v this_o admit_v but_o as_o for_o that_o which_o follow_v namely_o to_o teach_v we_o to_o forsake_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n &_o to_o live_v sober_o righteous_o &_o godly_o in_o this_o world_n that_o be_v a_o seed_n which_o few_o man_n receive_v many_o believe_v that_o christ_n have_v so_o perform_v that_o point_n as_o that_o we_o need_v not_o to_o perform_v the_o same_o again_o that_o the_o man_n be_v bless_v to_o who_o the_o lord_n impute_v no_o sin_n be_v easy_o believe_v of_o all_o man_n but_o as_o for_o that_o which_o be_v annex_v to_o it_o namely_o and_o in_o who_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o guile_n that_o they_o believe_v to_o be_v impossible_a likewise_o it_o be_v common_o vaunt_a with_o full_a mouth_n that_o they_o which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o condemnation_n for_o it_o be_v a_o very_a sweet_a say_n indeed_o but_o as_o for_o this_o which_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v bitter_a and_o of_o very_a few_o beleve_v and_o to_o make_v few_o word_n man_n do_v easy_o believe_v that_o they_o shall_v reap_v with_o joy_n but_o if_o you_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o must_v sow_v with_o tear_n they_o put_v that_o sentence_n over_o unto_o christ._n credit_n hereupon_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o the_o false_a prophet_n because_o they_o teach_v delectable_a thing_n and_o blaze_v abroad_o god_n pleasant_a promise_n with_o open_a mouth_n do_v easy_o find_v credit_n whereas_o the_o true_a

lord_n who_o have_v believe_v our_o preach_n hereby_o it_o appear_v plain_o my_o lewis_n that_o self-love_n be_v the_o lot_n that_o man_n believe_v not_o the_o truth_n and_o if_o self-love_n be_v do_v
