faith_n before_o he_o be_v justify_v for_o else_o if_o he_o repent_v not_o he_o remain_v still_o in_o sin_n and_o so_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o justify_v and_o all_o the_o preach_n of_o christ_n and_o his_o apostelle_n begyn_v at_o repentance_n and_o penance_n so_o that_o faith_n without_o that_o can_v not_o help_v wherefore_o it_o be_v never_o true_a that_o faith_n alone_o iustify_v for_o grace_n of_o god_n must_v go_v before_o faith_n and_o on_o our_o behalf_n repentance_n and_o charity_n must_v be_v join_v with_o faith_n and_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n so_o be_v penance_n and_o so_o be_v charity_n so_o be_v hope_n but_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n who_o grant_v all_o go_v before_o all_o ¶_o truth_n it_o be_v that_o out_o good_a dede_n do_v before_o faith_n do_v not_o justify_v for_o lack_v of_o faith_n but_o join_v unto_o faith_n they_o do_v help_v or_o come_v after_o faith_n they_o help_v to_o make_v we_o more_o justify_v as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o xxi_o of_o the_o apocalypse_n let_v he_o that_o be_v ryghtwyse_o be_v yet_o more_o justify_v ¶_o and_o that_o almyghtye_a god_n require_v of_o we_o good_a work_n it_o appear_v in_o the_o xxi_o chapter_n of_o mathewe_n &_o the_o xi_o of_o marc._n where_o christ_n come_v to_o a_o fig_n tree_n full_a of_o leaf_n have_v no_o fruit_n which_o he_o seek_v in_o it_o by_o his_o curse_n do_v make_v it_o sere_a so_o if_o we_o be_v the_o three_fw-mi bring_v not_o forth_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_n have_v time_n thereto_o neither_o the_o root_n of_o faith_n nor_o the_o leaf_n of_o word_n can_v alone_o help_v us._n a_o other_o parable_n in_o the_o xiii_o of_o luc_n prove_v the_o same_o where_o a_o man_n have_v a_o vineyard_n and_o in_o the_o same_o a_o fig_n tree_n that_o bear_v no_o fruit_n bid_v cut_v it_o down_o and_o at_o the_o request_n of_o his_o gardyner_n suffer_v it_o yet_o long_o to_o see_v if_o dung_n lay_v to_o the_o root_n will_v help_v it_o as_o oft_o almyghty_a god_n be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o vineyard_n suffer_v we_o be_v bareyne_a to_o have_v space_n to_o repent_v and_o bring_v forth_o fruit_n of_o good_a work_n for_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o third_o of_o matthew_n that_o every_o tree_n that_o bring_v not_o forth_o good_a fruit_n be_v cut_v down_o and_o cast_v into_o the_o fire_n ¶_o after_o as_o our_o deed_n be_v so_o shall_v our_o judgement_n be_v as_o christ_n say_v in_o the_o xvi_o of_o matthew_n the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v come_v in_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o father_n with_o his_o angel_n and_o shall_v reward_v every_o man_n after_o his_o work_n saint_n

the_o first_o epystle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n he_o say_v that_o every_o man_n shall_v receyve_v his_o hire_n after_o as_o his_o labour_n be_v so_o that_o for_o good_a dede_n do_v with_o faith_n he_o shall_v receyve_v reward_n and_o for_o evel_a dede_n do_v after_o faith_n or_o out_o of_o faith_n he_o shall_v receyve_v punishment_n ¶_o therefore_o those_o that_o say_v that_o god_n regard_v not_o our_o work_n do_v with_o faith_n do_v say_v against_o chryst_n and_o his_o doctrine_n give_v to_o we_o by_o he_o and_o by_o his_o apostelle_n for_o since_o our_o work_n do_v with_o faith_n be_v the_o measure_n of_o our_o reward_n to_o be_v great_a or_o small_a as_o they_o shall_v be_v find_v to_o be_v great_a or_o small_a who_o so_o say_v that_o god_n regarge_v not_o they_o say_v he_o regard_v not_o the_o measure_n of_o our_o reward_n and_o yet_o he_o say_v it_o shall_v be_v measure_v after_o our_o dede_n do_v with_o faith_n and_o so_o he_o say_v against_o christ_n saint_n paul_n say_v also_o in_o the_o ii_o chapytre_n to_o the_o ephesian_n that_o by_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n we_o be_v of_o new_a create_v in_o chryste_n and_o in_o good_a work_n that_o we_o may_v walk_v forwards_o in_o theym_n and_o since_o he_o have_v create_v we_o in_o good_a work_n to_o walk_v in_o they_o he_o must_v needs_o regard_v theym_a or_o else_o he_o care_v not_o what_o he_o

but_o i_o fear_v i_o sore_o lest_o many_o shall_v make_v such_o worldly_a excuse_n as_o be_v write_v in_o a_o parable_n in_o the_o xiiii_o chapter_n of_o luke_n some_o say_n they_o be_v new_a marry_v
