his mercye trustinge with owt any dowte or mystrust that by his grace and the merytes of Iesus Christ and by the vertue of his passion and of his resurrection I haue and shall haue remission of my synnes and resurrection of bodye and soule accordinge as hit is written Iob. xix I beleue that my redeamer lyueth and that in the last daye I shall ryse owte of the erth and in my flesh shall se my sauiour this my hope is layde vp in my bosome And as towching the wealth of my sowle y ● faith that I haue taken and rehersed is sufficient as I suppose w t out any other mannis worke or workis My grounde my belefe is that ther is but one god one mediatour betwene god man which is Iesus christ 〈◊〉 that I do except none in heauen nor in erth to be my media●oure betwene me and god but onely Iesus Christ al other be but peticioners in receyuīge of grace but none able to geue influence of grace And therfore wil I bestowe no part of my goodes for that intent that any man shulde saye or do to healp my soule for therin I trust onely to the promyse of god he that beleueth and is baptyzed shalbe saued and he that beleueth not shalbe damned marcke the last chapter And towchynge the buryynge of my bodye it auayleth me not what be done therto where in sainct Austine de cura agenda pro mortuis saith that they are rather the solace of them that lyue than wealthe or cowmforth of them that are departed and therfore I remit hit onely to the discretion of myne execu●ours And towchinge the distribution of my temporall goodes my purpose is by the grace of god to bestowe them to be accepted as frutes of faith So that I do not suppose that my merite be by good bestowi●e of them but my merite is the faith of Iesus Christ onely by which faith such workes are good accordinge to the wordes of out lorde Math. xxv I was hongrye and thou gauest me to eate and it folowith that ye haue done to the least of my bretherne ye haue done to me c. and euer we shulde consyder the trwe sentence that a
