A12793	The sale of salt. Or The seasoning of soules Namely such, as for whom the chapmen here doe come, and whom the author, which taketh the name of a salter, is willing, what in him lieth, to season with the salt of the Word, leauing the successe to the Lord, without whose blessing in such works we can do nothing.

Rom. 22 9. Eph. 2.10 Tit. 2.11.22.13 wee teach with the Apostle that euery one that calleth on the name of Christ must depart from iniquity abhorre euill and cleaue to good for that God hath ordained good workes that we should walke in them and that the grace of God that bringeth saluation to all men hath appeared and teacheth vs that we should deny vngodlinesse and worldly lustes and that we should liue soberly righteously and godly in this present world looking for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of the mighty God and of our Sauiour Iesus Christ therefore neighbour doe not thinke th●t we shut out good workes from the life of a Christian or that we commend that kinde of dead faith whereof S. Iames speaketh that beléeueth there is a God but will do no good for Gods sake doe not condemne vs before you heare vs. Rom. I haue heard that you Protestants discerne the iust from the vniust by the law of Faith nnd not of workes did euer any of the ancient Catholiques so discerne the one of these from the other Guid. Hearken what Saint Augustinesaith Nostra Fides c. that is saith hee the Catholique faith discerneth the iust from the vniust not by the law of works Contra duas epistolas pelag ad Bonifaciū lib. 3 cap. 5. Abac 2 but by the very law of faith because the iust liueth by faith By the which discerning it commeth to passe that a man liuing without Man-quelling without Theft without False-witnesse without coueting that is another mans rendring due honour to his parents bee so chaste that hee conteineth from all coupling euen in wedlock be very liberall in giuing Almes suffering iniuries with all patience which not onely taketh not away which belongeth to another but requireth not his owne being taken from him or hauing sold all that he hath and giuen it to the poore possesseth nothing of his owne yet with all these his laudable manners as it were if hee hold not the right Catholique faith towards God he may depart out of this life to be damned Now there is another which hath indéed good workes out of a right faith which worketh by loue but yet hee is such a one as matcheth not the other in manners hee sustaineth his incontinency with the honesty of marriage hee rendreth and requireth the debt of carnall copulation not onely for propagation 1. Cor. 7. but also for pleasure so as yet he lyeth with his onely wife which thing the Apostle granteth to the married secundum veniam according to leaue yet hee beareth not iniuries patiently but in his anger is caried with a desire of reuenge yet so as being requested he forgiueth that he may say Math. 6. As we forgiue our debters hée possesseth goods and of them giueth Almes not so largely as the other hee taketh not away that which is another mans but séeketh to haue his owne though not at the Common Law Ecclesiastico iudic●o non forens●● yet by iudgement Ecclesiasticall This man though hee seeme inferiour to the other in maners yet for the right Faith which he hath in God by the which Faith hee liueth and according vnto which he accuseth himselfe in all his faults prayseth God in all good workes giuing ignominie to himselfe glory to him and receiuing from him both pardon of sinnes and loue of well-doing hee departeth to bee deliuered from this life and to bee receiued into the fellowship of such as are to reigne with Christ Why but for Faith the which all-be-it it saueth none without works for that is no reprobate faith which worketh by loue yet by it also sinnes are loosed Abac. 2 because the iust liue by faith but without it euen those workes which séeme good are turned into sinne Rom. 14. For all that is not of faith is sinne Thus farre Saint Augustine where wee finde him twice citing the Prophet Abacuk to proue that euen the iust man doth liue by Faith and that the Catholique Faith in his time and which hee calleth our Faith discerneth the iust from the vniust by the Law not of works but of Faith Tract Yet that faith which which he speaketh of worketh by loue Guid. True for if it were idle or dead it could not apprehend Christ which is our righteousnes nor assure vs that we are especially called to Saluation through him Rom. You haue brought all this out of Saint Augustine to moue me to make more account of faith and to that end belike you would haue me to bee one of your hearers but if I should frame my selfe or rather if God should moue mee to hearken to your doctrine you must haue a care that your life be answerable thereto otherwise if you preach against swearing tipling dicing whooring couenant-breaking vnmercifulnesse c. and bee stained with any of these fowle spots your selfe I assure you though I make some account of Cappe and Surplesse and such like yet I shall thinke that you deserue to be depriued rather for being blotted with these deformities then for omitting these formalities Tract All your talke is to mee and my Cozen to haue vs come to Church but you say nothing to Cathara which hath no minde to be churched to knéele at Communion to the Ring in Marriage nor to haue her child crost after baptisme Cath. How doe you know what I doe your selues not beeing seene in the Church of a long time I beleeue if Tom Piper would play there once in seuen daies with his puplets we should haue you there weekly Rom. How say you by that loe your good word is ready at all times Madam Well let this prying into one anothers doing passe and pray God to giue you charitable hearts one towards another and remember that when the Lord saith he will giue his people one heart as you haue heard he doth promise it a blessing pray therefore that you may haue an vnity in the verity We liue here God be praised vnder a Christian magistrate which no doubt is greeued to see his subiects thus diuided he would faine haue an vnity and the same declared by an vniformity and that in some externall things In which though hee doe not yet your Priests seeme to put a kinde of holinesse and religion and all as I thinke to draw you to feede on matters of better quality that will indeed nourish But wee see by a fearefull experience that the more our church yeeldeth to the formal coats the readier some are to cut our throats whether wee mourne or pype you will neither weep nor daunce with vs God turne your hearts if it be his will that you may come pray and praise God with vs. Truly Mistresse Romana your Papists are in a drowsie dreame you thinke you see S. Peter whom some of you make porter stand ready to let you into Heauen for being so willing to destroy those which say with him speaking of Iesus Christ there is no other
