christ that we maye be iustefyed by the faith of christ not by the dedes of the law If rightwisenes came by the lawe theÌ„ died christ in vayne Gala. 2. Gala. 3. That no man is iustefyed by the lawe it is manifest / for a rightwyse maÌ„ lyveth by his faith / but the lawe is not of faith Moreouer / sith christ the maker of heavyn and erth all yâ— is therin / behoved to dye for vs / we are coÌ„pelled to graunt that we were so farre drouned sunkeÌ„ in sinne that neyther oure dedes nor all the treasures that ever god made or might make / might haue holpe vs out of them / ergo no dedes nor workes maye make vs rightwyse No workes make vs vnrightwyse For if anye workes made vs vnryghtwyse / then the coÌ„trarye workes shulde make vs rightwyse But it is proved that no workes can make vs rightwyse / ergo no workes make vs vnrighwise ¶ workes make vs neyther good nor evel It is ê“ued that no workes neyther make vs rightwyse nor vnrightwyse / ergo no workes make vs neyther good nor evel For rightwyse good ar one thinge vnrightwyse evel likewise one God workes make not a good maÌ„ nor evell workes an evell maÌ„ / but a good maÌ„ maketh god workes an evell man evell workes Good frute maketh not the tre good / nor evell frute the evell tre / but a good tre bereth good frute an evell tre evell frute Mat. 7. A good maÌ„ can not doo evell workes nor an evel maÌ„ good workes / for a good tre caÌ„ not bere evell frute nor an evell tre good frute A maÌ„ is good ere he do good workes / evell ere he doo evel workes / for the tre is good ere it bere good frute evel ere it bere evel frute ¶ Euerye maÌ„ is eyther good or evel Everye tre is eyther good or evel / eyther make ye the tre good the frute good also / or els make the tre evel the frute of it likewise evel Mat. 12 Euerye maÌ„nes workes are eyther good or evell For all frute trees are eyther good or evel Mat. 12 Eyther make ye the tre good the frute god also / or els make the tre evel the frute of it likewise evel A good maÌ„ is knowne by his workes for a good man doth good workes an euell evell workes ye shall knowe theÌ„ by their frute / for a good tre bereth good frute / and an evell tre evell frute A man is likened to the tre and his workes to the frute of the tre Beware of the false ê“phetes whych come to you in shepes clothinge / but inwardlie they are raueninge wolues Mat. 7. ye shal knowe theÌ„ by their frutes None of oure workes neyther saue vs nor condempne vs. It is ê“ued that no workes make vs neyther rightwyse nor vnrightwyse / good nor evell / but first we are good ere we doo good workes evell ere we do evell workes / ergo no workes neyther saue vs nor coÌ„deÌ„pne vs. Thou wilt saye / theÌ„ maketh it no matter what we do I answere / yes For if thou do evell / it is a sure argumeÌ„t that thou arte evell / wantest yâ— faith If thou doo good it is an argumeÌ„t that thou arte good hast yâ— faith / for a good tre bereth good frute and an evell tre evell frute / yet good frute maketh not the tre good / nor evell frute the tre evell / so the man is good ere he do good dedes ad evell ere he do evell dedes The maÌ„ is yâ— thre / his workes are the frute Faith maketh the good tre incredulite the evel tre such a tre such frute such a maÌ„ such workes For all that is done in faith pleaseth god are good workes And all yâ— is done with out faith displeaseth god and are evell workes Vvho so ever beleueth or thinketh to be saued his workes denieth that christ is his sauiour / that christ dyed for him all thinge that ê‘tayneth to christ For how is he thy sauioure / it thou mightest save thy selfe by thy workes or wherto shulde he dye for yâ— if any workes might have saued yâ— what is this to saye / christ dyed for yâ— verelye that is / thou shuldest haue died ê‘petuallye / christ to delyver yâ— fro that deeth / died for yâ— chaunged thy ê‘petuall deeth in to his awne deeth For thou madest yâ— faute / he suffred the payne / that for yâ— loue he had to the ere ever thou wast borne when thou haddest done neyther good nor evell Now sith he hath payed thy dette thou nedest not no thou canst not / but shuldest be dapned if his blonde were not But sith he was punished for the thou shalt not be punished Finallye / he hath delyvered the froÌ„ thy condeÌ„pnacioÌ„ all evell / desyreth nought of the but that thou wilt aknowlege what he hath done for yâ— beare it in minde / that thou woldest helpe other for his sake both in worde dede / eveÌ„ as he hath holpeÌ„ yâ— for nought with out rewarde / O how readye wolde we be to helpe other / if we knewe his goodnesse gentlenesse towardes vs. He is a good a gentle lorde for he doth all for nought Lette vs I besech you folow his fotesteppes whom all the worlde ought to prayse and worshuppe / Amen He that thinketh to be saved by his workes calleth him selfe Christ For he calleth him selfe his savioure whych partayneth to christ onlye What is a sauioure but he that saveth / he sayeth I saue my selfe / which is as moch to saye as I am christ for christ onlye is the savioure of the worlde we shulde do no good workes for yâ— enteÌ„t to gette the enheritaunce of heaveÌ„ or remissioÌ„ of sinne For who so ever beleveth to gette yâ— enheritaunce of heaveÌ„ or remissioÌ„ of sinne thorow workes / he beleueth not to gette that for christes sake And they that beleue not that their sinnes are forgeueÌ„ theÌ„ and that they shall be saved for christes sake / they beleue not yâ— gospell For the gospell sayeth / you shall be saued for christes sake / youre sinnes are forgeueÌ„ for christes sake He that beleveth not yâ— gospel heleueth not god So it foloweth that they which beleve to be saved by their workes / or to gette remission of their sinnes by their awne dedes beleue not god but recounte him as a lyar so vtterlye denye him to be god Thou wilt saye / shal we theÌ„ do no good dedes I saye not so but I saye we shulde do no good workes for the enteÌ„t to gette the enheritaunce of heaveÌ„ or remission of synne â–ª For if we beleue to gette the enheritauÌ„ce of heaveÌ„ thorow good workes / theÌ„ we beleue not to gette it thorow the promise of god or if we thinke to gette remission of oure sinne the we beleue not that they are forgeueÌ„ vs / so we counte god a lyar For god sayeth / thou shaâ—t haue the enheritaunce of heaueÌ„ for my sonnes sake / thy sinnes are forgeueÌ„ that for misonnes sake you saye it is not so / but I wil winne it thorow my workes So I coÌ„deÌ„pne not good redis / But I codeÌ„pne the false trust in anye workes / for al the workes that a ma putteth coÌ„fideÌ„ce in are therwith poysoned become evel Therfore do ye good workes but beware you do theÌ„ not to gette any good thorow that / for if thou do / thou receyvest the good not as the gifte of god but as dette to the and makest thy selfe felowe with god because thou wilt take nothinge of him for nought what neadeth he any thynge of thyne which geveth al thinge is not yâ— poorer Therfore do nothinge to him but take of him / for he is a getle lorde / with a gladder wyll geueth vs all that we nede / then we take it of him / therfore if we waÌ„t ought let vs wyte oure selues Preasse not then to the enheritaunce of heueÌ„ thorow presumpcioÌ„ of thy good workes for if thou do / thou countest thy silfe holye and egall to him because thou wilt take nothinge of him for nought so shalt thou falle as Lucifer felle for his pride Finis
vnto the saluatioÌ„ of the hoell worlde For he maye pacefye goddes wrath and satisfye his iustice sayeth my lorde by applyinge these merites to them that lacke good workes And so if that pope will / goddes iustice maye be fullye satisfyed and the hoell worlde saved Now if he maye so iustlye and easelye save the hoell worlde cherite also movinge him vnto it and yet will not applye these merites so frutefullye / then is the faute on lye his / and he the sonne of perdicyon and wort hye more payne then can be imagined And so is not the reason improved but moch more stablished / and as I thinke inevitable Beholde I praye you whother my lorde of Rochestre hath brought oure holye father in avauncynge his power so hye / even in to the depest pitte of hell Vvhich if my lorde saye true it is impossible for him to avoyde But it chaunceth vnto him even as it doth customablie where such pryde raigneth for when they are at the hyest / then falle they doune hedlinge vnto their vtter confusion and ruine If anye man feale him silfe greaved and not yet fullye satisfyed in this matter lette him wryte his minde / and by goddes grace I shall make him answere / that with spede â–ª ⧠☜ Praye Christen reader that the worde of god maye encrease ☜ Amen Iohan Frith vnto the Christen Reader 1.
