Isaye prophecyed of Christe that when he shulde come / he Isa. xlij shulde not be derke and difficile or harde in his doctryne . Nowe spekest thow playnlye Io. xvi . ( sayd his disciples ) . And Paul reioysed gretely ij . cor. i. that he had so syncerely and frely preached the gospell . Christe tolde his that thei Mat. v shulde be the lyghte of the worlde purelye & clerely to teche / especiallye the cheif principals of the christen religion : of which the psal.

But and if gods word apere to vs hard and derke / our own sluggishnes negligence and ignauye is the cause therof / If it be derke / it is derke to them that hate the lyght .

It is harde rydles to them whiche ar so wyse in their owne consaites that thei disdayne to lerne of anye man / as it was to the seers hearers and vnderstanedrs which herd christe & vnderstode him not so blynde at none dayes ( the gospel Math. xiij . now clerely comen ) that thei stagger & reele in the clere lyght lyke the dronken crownes I 〈…〉 . Isaye xxviij . 〈…〉 . of prowd Ephraim & Moab ▪ Belyke Win. is a shamed of the playne simple wordes of christis gospell / as of theis wont and comon wordes . Forgeuenes of synnes / faith & workes / but goth about to kouer them with his condicions / effectis / fulfillings / and confuse knowleges . The scriptures know nonother effect and condicion / but remission of synnis vpon this condicion that we beleue chryste to haue dyed for them and to haue risen age●e ●●o . iiij . for owr iustificacion . Thou shalt call his name Iesus ( said the aungell to marye ) for he shall saue his peple from their sinnes Mat. i. Therfore was chryste listed vpon the crosse Ioan . iij that as manye as beleue in him shuld be saued . Euery man may see that Win. ente●beth some iugling caste with his confuse condicion / which he dare not expresse calling it works / speking planely Th effect of christes passion hathe workes whose fulfillinge &c. But play on yet a gods name Winchester .

Yet will ye not expresse your condicion ? wel / Georg Ioye . then will I expresse it for you / for I knowe yowr mynde is to proue works to iustifye . This is Win. article . Thei that will enioye the forgeuenes of synnis must do good . And so he entendeth as ye shall see a non a●tir his wyse deduccion to conclude his folisshe conclusion . Yet playe on Winchester a gods name aboue the borde .

This faith so farof flitted from th inuisible iustificacion / whether it be the gift of god & George Ioye profitable to winchester I dowt it ▪ but this am I sewer of by christes owne words / that when winch . hathe done all that god hathe commaunded him ( which I dare saye he shal ●u . xvij . neuer do / and so neuer fulfill his condicion ) yet is he but a seruant ( if he be not a ●orde ) vnprofitable . I wold aske win . when he loketh and considereth firste th effect of christs passion / whether he beleued it or no ? If he did not beleue / so was he then an infidel● . If he beleued it ( seing it is the promised forgeuenes of synnes in crystis blode ) whether he it to be effectuous to himself or onely to other men ? If to other & not to himself / ●● is his faith and the deuils faith all one . 〈…〉 beleued his own sinnis to be forgeuen therby so was he iustifyed by faith onely ere any other condicion was known or spoken of / or els he muste make christe a lyer which saith . ●s thou beleuest so come it to the. When Iairus Math. xv . desiered cryste to come and helpe his daughter / and in christs coming / Iairus his seruant met him saying / decease not christe owr master no farther / for your daughter is dead . What said cryst ? said he not to him / fear not ? Beleue onely and she shal be salfe . These same wordes ( Onelye beleue ) stande bothe in Mark and ●uke . What condicion els than faith ●u . viij Mar. v onely in christis promyse can Win. fynde to enioy th effect of christis passion ? Christe ( all condicions els set asyde ) onely faith mencioned / said . Thy faith hath saued the. What condicion els then faith did Christe requyre of the childs father praying him to caste the euill Mar. ix spirit oute of his sone ? Added he anye thinge els then faith / saying . If thou can●te beleue all thingis ar possible to the beleuer ? Awaye winchester with your confuse comberouse condicion / sonde fulfyllinges and your craftye knowlege ▪ and abuse not the precyouse gyfte of faithe to serue yowr syn full affectes to proue your blasphemouse con clusyon . But yet perchaunce Winchester wyll answere to my former question / That when he beholdeth the forgeuenes of his synnes in crystis passion / he seeth also therwith his condicion . Well / be it so / Then aske I him whether the forgeuenes of his synnes ther beholden / and himselfe hearinge Christe cal linge and krying / Come vnto me Wui● . laden with synnes and I shall ease the / whether ( I saye ) is it more profitable for him by faith to sethold of the forgeuenss of his sinnes nowe offred him by christe that can not lye / or to tary and sende him worde / that he will fyrste knowe and fulfyll his condicon ? A wyse man wolde thinke it moste profitable to set holde fyrste by faith vpon his iustificacion frely nowe offred him and to take the thing certayn & present / rather then so precious a gift neglected / to labour in an vncertayn condicion / For if his condicion be the workis of the law ( as he will not denye it ) which it is impossible for anye flesshe to fulfill / as Paul affirmeth / and all owr beste workes ar ●o . viij infected with Adams byrth poyson stayned lyke the sike womans clothes as I saye saith . I saye lxiij . And if Win. ( I saye ) tary tyll he hath fulfil led his condicion / he shall come to shorte of his iustificacion in christe . For ere he beginneth to fulfill the condicion he is disobedient to christes callinge and refuseth the forgeuenes of his synnes / of which vnfaith full diso bedience what soeuer deed foloweth it is sin ne / yea and that a greuous synne as Samuel ● . of the ●ig . xv . eraggerateth it vnto king Saul albeit he did it ( as thei saye ) of a good e●tent . Nowe saye on yet agen winchester .

Yea mary / this is the conclusion I waited for . ●●o●●e Ioye ●o / now hath he concluded of himselfe / that he maye do well before he be iustifyed . This his well doing standeth vpon the fulfilling of his condicion / where ye see he hath his faith and his workes and yet is he not instifyed / ergo in that same tyme before he is iustified is he not iustified by faith nor by his works Here ye see playnly into what confusion be bringith himself / and what it is to reason by his own witte withowt any worde of scripture . Wold god the papistes had no wyser ●iuines to defende their false religion / selden ar these popisshe lawers good diuines . He saith he may do well / and I saye he may do euill to . It becometh a lerned man so to conferre the scriptures trwly vnderstanden that he be sewer and certayn of his conclusion . But perchaunce he take this word May / for the mery mo●the of May next april / and then am I content to tary tyll May come age●e for the verifying of his conclusion waiting for his well doing / for hitherto ( god knoweth ) he hath done miche euill . The lorde amend him befor May / or els take him shortly away Amen . Because Win. hath no scripture to proue his conclusion / I wil helpe him but yet I commende Standish agenst Doctor Barnes / for he laid on scriptures wryten and vnwriten / englisshed and vnenglisshed as thik as hayle / & vnderstod not one worde what he sayd / euen the very doctours paynted of Paul to haue erred fr● the trwe faith i. timo. i and loue / and ar swaruen vnto vayne lyes / which wolde be sene Doctours of the lawe and yet vnderstande thei not what thei saye nor of what thing thei affirm . But to Win. conclusion / Thou knowest good reader / that in scripture there is mencioned a dead faith i. timo. i and a fayned or false faith . And also there is a rightwysnes of the lawe or owr rightwysnes Roma . ix . & . x. and also a like iustificacion / one of faith before god & a nother of works before men . When Paul had mightely proued onely faith to haue iustified before God / the Iewe not Ro. iij. being content with this concluson obiected sayinge . What then shall we saye of owr father Abraham ? Gote he no iustificacion by Ro. iiij . his works ? he was a good father and did good dedis . It is trweth sayth Paul / but yet hath he not to reioyse therof before god / but onely before men . Now let vs set vp my Lorde Gardiner in his Deluets and Saty● alo●te vpon his ●●le trapped withe veluet with gylden sterups and bridle &c / with his ientle men bare head chayned with gold / before and aftir him . Who wil not say but there rideth a princely prelate a gloriouse Bisshop to orne and honor an hole realme ? See what a clenlye sorte of tall men he hathe aboute him / what costlye liueries geueth he / what a mayny of idle belies daily fedeth he ? Hath not Winch. lo / wherof to glory before men ? is not this a ioyly iustificacion ? Nowe foloweth his conclusion of himselfe saying / ergo by the gift of god / that is by these worldely giftes I maye do well before worldlye men of flesshly iugement before I be iustified before God / yet iustifyed gloriouslye ( in whiche I reioyce ) before men . This is his Iewisshe iustificacion wherof the pharisais so highly reioyced / insomich that christe told Mat. ix them that he came not to call siche iuste men / but sinner● to repentance / warning the peple that ex●pte their rightwysnes abounded Mat. v a boue the pharisais good dedis / thei shulde neuer come to heuen . And Paul / saithe that Rom. x men ignorant of the rightwisnes or rightwisemaking of god / and seking to set fast ( as now doth Winch. ) their own rightwisnes / thei be neuer subiecte to the rightwisnes of god . Winchester yet knoweth not the office of the lawe / to shew vs our sinnes / to work wrathe / to make sinne the more to abounde ca. iiij . and vij . as Paul proueth it to the Romans / so farre of must it be to iustifye . Nether yet knowth he th office and proper place of faithe nor yet what thing faith is / but conceiueth a certayn fantastical opinion therof as doth euery spe culatiue pharisay and idle hypocrite . And a man shulde speke astir the very order of nature and of the tyme / he must nedis set faith before works / as is the tree before it blometh and the blomes before the frute . The seade i● caste into the erthe before it growthe and fr●●tifieth . The sead is the worde of God sayth Christe . And nighe vnto the is the worde of Rom. x faith euen in thyne herte and mouth . Faith Gala. v is effectuous and worketh by loue . And the ende of the precepte is loue owte of a pure i. timo. i herte ( by faith harts ar made pure sayth Peter ) Act. xv and a good conscience and of faith vnfained . I thinke Win. is not so ignorant in his Gramer as to englisshe this texte of Paul / Fides que operatur per ●ilectionem / as did Iohn fis●her the bisshop of Rochester in his sermon at Pauls crosse and aft●rwarde / thus englisshed faith which is wrought by charite : so setting the carte before the horse and like an vngodly gardener to peruert and turne the rotes of his plantes and herbes vpward / of which I herde as it were an olde prophecye . xl . yeres agoo that siche an Antichriste shuld come to peruerte the iustificacion of faith and turne Christes religion vpsedown . I am sewer he wil not set works before faith / no not in the yong baptized infants / nor yet in Paul at his conuersion / nor in the thef hanginge by christe crucifyed . It is trweth that workes beinge the frutes of faith standing in their own place proceding out of faith iustifying / diminish not th effect of christs passion . For we ar made in christe Iesu to do the good works which god hathe Eph. ij . prepared that we shulde walke in them . We ar saued frely by faith saith Paul / yea & that not of works / for it is the gyfte of god / that we be saued by faith / and not for our works lest any man shuld reioyce in his own dedis . But if winc . put his works in the place and office of faith / as the condicion with out the Ro. iij. which noman is iustifyed / so diminisheth he yea he is iniuriouse and blasphemouse vnto Isaye xliij ●vi● lij. lxiij . xlviij . th effect of christis passion / for by this doctrine his diminute imperf●cte and wiked workes shulde deserue vs forgeuenes of synnes as though christes bloude and so plentuous a redempcion in christe were not sufficiente . If by the lawe saith Paul men be made rightwyse Gala. ij / so is christe ded in vayne . Loue muste fulfill the condicion ( saith he ) ergo the works of the lawe ar his condicion / Ro. xiij . Nowe let vs see what loue god asketh of vs / for if we haue not that loue / we shall neuer fulfill Win. condicion . God commandeth vs to loue Deu. vi him with owr hole hertes / minds / soulis / & with all owr strength / and owr neighbours Mat. v Ioan xiij Phil. ●● . Rom. v yea and owr enimies to / as owr selues / yea and that euen as christe loued vs which died for vs being his enymies . He biddeth vs to be perfit and holy as himselfe is / not to be so angrye with our brother as to prouoke him Mat. v Le. xix . Exo. ij . Deut. v Ro. vij . Mat. x with any euill worde to anger / nor to desier any other mans good / seruant wife &c / no not to loue our oun liuis in his cause / but to haate our flessh & dye for his sake . Now tell me Win. if any one man hath this loue / and so fulfilled your condicion : or els dare yourself affirme to haue fulffylled it ? if ye haue not / ergo by your own words ye shall neuer enioye th effect of christes passion ( and yet speke I not of the perfit faith and hope that euery man / in god is bownd to haue : beware therfor Win. how ye set your saluacion vpon so harde a condicion / leste ye come to shorte of the gates shuttinge with your . v. folisshe virgens . If you had once fulfilled ( as you neuer shall ) your condicion / and so perseueringe / you nede not to praye / Father forgeue me my dettes / nor neuer to saye your Pater noster . For ye owe no loue nether vnto god nor man / ye haue payd all . And yet saith Ro. xiij Paul / owe ye nothing to any man but mutuall loue / shewinge loue to be a dette euer in paying and neuer full payd . We shal answere for euery idle word saith christe . But Math. xij . if Win. had accomplisshed his condicion / so might he go play & iustle in iugement with christe for his saluacion / hauinge no nede of Christis passion / then mighte he clayme heuen of dewty & make grace no grace / which Rom. xi and. vi . is a mere free gyfte vndeserued of any man and thus were he one of those iuste prelates whom Christe sayde he came not to call . Is Mat. ix not he a prowd foole to whom when god geueth a free iustificacion in christe / yet wil he refuse to take it but vpon a condicion / that he deserue it with siche works as himself is ne uer able to performe ? what arrogante foole wold thus condicion himselfe agenste gods wyll ? Peter considering this importable condicion Act. xv sayd / by faith god purifyeth their hertes / and wherfore then do ye now tempt god somich ●aing siche a vo●● vpon mens necks which nether owr fathers nor we be able to bere . ? By the grace of owr Lorde Iesu christe we beleue vs to be saued as were owr fathers . i Ioan . i. If we shuld say that we haue no sinne in vs / so ar we lyers . Wherfore the scrip Ro. iij. and. xi . turis conclude euery man to be a sinner and i●fidele / that of almen God ●oughte haue mercye . And that the promyse oute of faith Gal. iij in Iesu Christe shulde be geuen to the beleuers . Onely Christe fulfilled the lawe . Ro. viij the . obiection .

And if Win● . wold mok out Paul / sayinge that when he concluded so oft man to be frely iustifyed by faith onely withowt the workes of the lawe : that he ment by the workis of the lawe but circumcision and the other ceremonies now abrogated / and not the lawe of the commandements . Then let him heare Paul expowning himselfe of what lawe he Ro. iij. & . vij . ment answering to siche obieccions . By the lawe saith he cometh the knowlege of sinne The answers . and I had not knowne cōupiscence to haue ben syn had not the lawe sayde : Thou shalt not haue any concupiscens or luste . And then when he wrote his pistles / circumcision and the rytes and ceremonyes were abrogated among the christen Iewes / and the Gentyles neuer were bownde to them as was Abraham iustifyed by faith onely ere the law was writen and before he was circumcised . And Peter sayd that this same lawe whiche Paul excludeth from iustificacion and Wine . callethe his condicion / is a yoke importable which proueth it not to be circumcision nor any of their ceremonies of Moses law / for these were lyghte enoughe to bere / lyghter & easyer than to not luste or desyer any thing agenst gods will or for a riche man to forsake all & giue it to the pore / or for Win. to cast of his pryde his bisshopryke with all his vaynglorye and to become the humble pore pure persecuted precher of gods worde . It is red that there was one man that by suffring doinge ●uke xxiiij and fulfilling the lawe of the commandements came to heuen / euen chryst onelye . In Math. we reade of a nother yonge man ca. xix . that wolde go to heuen by doing some good works / asking christe / Good Master what deedis shall I do to haue lyfe eternall ? whose mynde christe se●nge / did set him but certayne of the easyest commandements to fill fyll them . And he sayde / as for these I haue done them all redye / well then sayd Christe or rather so thought / If ye will nedis go to heuen by doinge / I shall set you to do siche deedis as I knowe well ye will neuer do / yea thei be impossible for you to do them / euen to sell his substance and to geue it to the pore and so to folowe him now going forth to Ierusalem to suffer dethe . What did this man I praye you ? howe farre went he with christe think you ? went he not his way heuy ly from christe ? And yet will Win ▪ go to heuen by doinge and fulfilling his harde condicion / I dare say he wold s●ratche his head twyse ( as did this riche man ) ere he sold his bisshopryke & had geuen it to the pore . And therfore Christe pronownced that it is impossible Math. xix for siche riche men to come to heuen . God therfore trusted vs so litle with the ful Mar. x fillinge of the lawe and so by this condicion to come to heuen / that he toke it out of owr handes and layd it vpon his sonne crysts bake to be fulfilled . For if he had lefte our saluacion in owr own hands to be deserued by owr workes we had bene all dampned . Yet saye on Winchester once agene .

Now declareth he by his well doing for the Georg Ioye . ataynment of his iustificacion to be iustified by works . Here is his condiciou declared to be works . Here he sheweth himself to be arr●gantlye bolder then Dauid or iuste Iob / whiche bothe feared their works and desyered god not to entre into iugement with them for them shuld there noman be iustified in his fyght / and agen saith Dauid / lorde if thow shuldst obserue owr iniquities / who shal stande before the in iugemente vncondemp●ed ? But Winch ▪ maye do well in the month of Maye before men ere he be iustifyed before god : and so reioyce of his own ioyly iustifycacion rydinge vpon his horse or mule . He wolde fayne here wrap in his workes with his faith both togither into one bed to warme and winne his iustificacion / that he might be sewer by both togither ( for the mo the beter ) to be iustified ( Sed pallium ambos operire Isaye . xxviij . non potest saith Isaye ) but the couerlet is to narow and to short to kouer them both one of them therfore is lyke to lyebare arse and a colde . For god / to whom we be maryed Ose. ij . by faith and mercye is a ioylous god and wil not that any of his spouses shuld ly with Exo. xx & xxxiiij a nother to diuide their faith from him to workes to be iustifyed by them / nor to separate forgeuenes of sinnes from his blode . Is christe diuided ? And therfore if this iusticiarye by his may well doing before he be iustified towerde thatammēt therof so proced towarde his entente / he may be ( as the fryers and monkes were wont to saye ) in via perditionis / persectionis I wold saye / but vnto the very iustificacion shall he neuer come / euen men of a corrupt mynde caried awaye of diuerse lustes / euer lerning and neuer comen ij . Tim. iij. vnto the knowlege of the trwthe : for siche deceyuers shall go forthe worse and worse tyl their wikednes be rype / leading wother into errours / their selues being blynde and far out of the way turned vnto vayn speche & false doctryn / willing to be seue doctours & yet vnderstonde thei not what thei say nor of what thigis thei make actes articles & institucions . But play on yet agen once M Win.

This is trwth nether ought it to be impugned Georg Ioye . if he take faith & charite as Paul taketh them . There muste nedis some trwth be mixed with lies that he might the slylyer deceiue / and some sugar mengled with his venom that he mighte the priuelier poyson . What then Winchester ?

Faith onelye ( saith Christe and Paul ) is required to thatainment of the iustificacion whiche Georg Ioye . is of God / nether is charite excluded from faith but from the efficacye effect and office to iustifye . For to this effect & office is faith alone sufficiente effectuously . As from fyer or from the sonne we exclude not heate nor brightnes / but yet haue heat and brightnes their sondry effectes and offices : for the heat warmethe and with his bryghtnes the sone shyneth and geueth lyght . Charite hath many fayer effectes and offices attributed onely ● . co . xiij vnto herself as proper / and is highly com mended for them / as is faith extolled of Paul for hir offices in the Hebrewes . And I dare Hebrr xi saye / charite is content with her owne workes / called benigne pacient &c / so that she desyereth not to put hir elder syster faith oute of hir cheif office nor yet to vsurpe any part therof / whose office principal is alone to iustifye / but and if Win. wyll defraude faithe of hir effecte and imparte it vnto charite / he shall offend bothe charite and faith . This is certayne that if charite had had any siche an excellent effect and office as to iustifie / Paul wold not haue omitted it / but wold haue geuen hir the glorye therof setting it forth before all saying / Charite iustifyeth / charite is i. co. xiij benigne / pacient &c. I wolde Winc. wolde once shewe vs where he fyndeth this text in scripture . Charite iustifyeth . It is writen in manye places faith iustifyeth / by faith God Hebr. xi testifyed our fathers to be iustified / yea and that with out the works of the lawe . Frely ●●o . iij. doutles ar men iustified by grace ( saith Paul ) Note the translacion of this tex te . thorow the raunsom and redempcion made by the anoynted sauiour whom god the father hathe set forthe to be the free mercyfull gyfte or seat of mercye thervpon to be apeased thorowe faith in his bloude / set forthe ( I saye ) to declare himself faithfull and trwe of his promyse concerninge the forgeuenes of synnes hitherto committed and paste / which sinne● god the father had not anon punisshed but paciently suffred them to declare his longe sufferinge and himself to be trwe of his promise at this present tyme when himself wold be known and declared faithfull and iust in that he iustifieth who soeuer beleueth and liueth in Iesu by faith . Where is then now thy gloriouse hostinge oh Win. ? It is playnely excluded & shut oute of dores . By what reason ? by the reason and vertew of works ? N● no / but by the reason of faith . We conclude therfore ( saith Paul ) that by faithe a man is iustified with oute the works of the law . ●o here is all gloriacion of works blown down laid flat in the duste by the reason and powr of faith : for as faith humbleth & geuethe all glory to god / so do works puffe vp man and ascribe glory vnto men . If th effect of christs passion shuld depend of the condicion of our works / we shulde neuer be sewer & certayn of our iustificacion / for all our works ar vnperfit Isaye lxiij . and fowle as the sike womans clothes . Paul himself did his office so trwly that his conscience could not accuse him of any faut / and yet he sayd / Non tamen in hoc iustificatus ● . co . iiij sum / yet for so doing am I not iustified .

Yet dare not he expresse his condicion / saying Georg Ioye . playnly . Faith assewereth me of the promise of god ( if I fulfill the lawe ) but Win. nor none els / but onely christe / fulfilled the law ergo nether Winch. nor any els / standinge this condicion / shal neuer be assewered of the promyse of God . Paul argeweth another wayes excludinge the condicion that men mighte be the sewerer and certayner of the promyse . For if the promyse shuld stande of an vncertain / yea impossible condicion : who shal be certayn and assewered of the promyse ? Thus argeweth Paul . By the works of ●io . iiji . the lawe came not the promise to Abraham or to his sead / him to be th ayer of the world but by the rightwisemaking by faith . For if thei that will be iustifyed by the workes be therfore made thayers / so is faith and beleue in vayne and the promyse voide and frustrate . For the lawe worketh but wrath / ergo it worketh no good works to the ataynment of iustificacion . It worketh wrath for that it is impossible to be performed and accomplished of man whiche is flesshe as Paul ●io . viij constantly affirmeth / and therfore it wrappethe all the workers therof to be iustifyed therby / vnder the curse . For as many as stande vpon the works of the lawe to this ende euen for their iustificacion ar yoked vnder execracion and tyed to the curse Gala. iij. For where i● no lawe there is no transgression . Wherfore ( Paul nowe concludeth agenste Win. saying ) out of faith is the heretage geuen / lyke as oute of grace / that the promyse mighte be the more fernie and sewerer vnto all the sead / not to it that is onely out of the lawe / but also to it which is oute of the faith of Abraham . Paul in spirit did see befor this Winchesters condicion to frustate the promyse and therfore he confuteth it here so clerely . And agen vnto the Galathens / If anye Gal. iij wolde obiecte saying / ergo the lawe is agenste the promises . God forbid saith Paul / but if there had ben a lawe geuen whiche might haue geuen lyfe / then no doute iustificacion might haue comen by the lawe . But the scripture concluded all vnder syn that the promyse / the promise ( I saye ) out of the faith of Iesu Chryste shuld be geuen and not deserued to the beleuers . Thus ye see howe with so many wordes paul excludeth Win. impossible condicion / to make faste the promyse in Christe that owr faith might be the sewerer stayede and cleaue to it . If onelye vnbeleif dampneth / why shulde not onelye faithe iustifye ? it is a good argumente of contrarye . But yet because Win. wyndeth in his condicion so harde for the atainmente of his iustificacion by works . I wolde fayne se some one of his good works so perfit / pure / with oute anye carnall affecte annexed / ether of vaynglory or of loue to himselfe or for fere of payne not done nor for hope of rewarde / or any lucre promocion or to recen●e a beter thinge for the doinge therof / oute of so pure an herte that it be not done of any affeccion to the persone / but onelye of faith & ●ele for the glorye of god & profit of his neighbour or onely to mortifye his owne affectes and to set naught by himself / to abnegate and renownce his estimacion and glorye / to be renewed in spirit and to folow christe mekely to dethe . Paul acknowlegeth himself & com ●o . vij . playueth in his most perfeccion not to be able to do that good which he wold do / but to do that euill which he wold not do . ●e dirst not call in / this condicion to atayne his iustificacion therby / but constantlye affirmed as many as stande vpon the workes of the law to fulfill them / therby to be iustified / ar yoked vnto the curse of the lawe saying / Cursed is euery man that abideth not in althingis wryten in the boke of the lawe to performe them . I wonder therfore that Win. dare stande vpon his condicion to be fulfilled to ataine any parte of his iustificacion therby . Dare he clayme ( thinke ye ) any parte of his iustificacion for burning of Doctor Garnis and his felows for prechinge agenst theise wikekly armed articles ? Tell vs Win. didst thou burne them so cruelly of loue and not of haatred or enuy ? trwely loue burneth noman for preching the trweth / charite enuyeth not &c. Abi igitur post christum satana / Math: xvi . Come bak deuill aftir christe / thou art sclaun derous to his crosse / for being maried to thy nown witte / thou sauourst not the heuenly and godly iustificacion / but siche one as naturall reason perswadeth emong men / euen one good turne for another to be done / and so to deserue thy iustificacion . But be it in case / that Win. thus condicioninge with God hath in his own opinion done some good deede wherby he dare claym his iustificacion / yet shal not that same deed serue him to that einmente of that effecte . For were it neuer so good / yet doth his false opinion in his deed make it dampnable . But lett vs speake of a good deed absolutely / excluded from all carnall affectes ( if any man maye do siche one ) this deed is not owre deed / but the deede of god working it in vs / for what deed soeuer procedethe owte of owr corrupte nature is naught . It is god saith Paul that workethe Phil. ij in you accordinge to his good mynde bothe to will well / & also to performe your work . Nether ar we apte and able to thinke so miche ij . co . iij as a good thoughte out of owr own selues / but all our ablenes cometh from God . And I say saith / lorde s●t peace among vs / I saye xxvi . for it is thow that workest and finisshest all thing is in vs bothe our thought is & de●des . And therfore well sayd Austen . God crowneth in vs his own deedis & not owrs . Condicion not therfore ( Win. ) with god for your deedis / which ( as all men see them ) ar but ●a lice / mischeif / enuy / rankor / bitternes / bloud thirstinge / pryde / cruell tyrannye / blasphemies / persecucion of christis innocente lombes and of his worde / deceytfully flatering your prynce / euill cownsell geuinge to prouoke the wrathe of god vpon yow all / and vpon that noble realme / sowinge most pesti lent heresyes yea and that wetingly which is the synne agenste the holygoste / whiche when all sinnes ( be thei ryght greuous ) shal be forgeuen / yet shall this your vngodly impiete be neuer forgeuen .
