the smaller thynges of the lawe but that they obseruynge them dyd omytte the greater thynges of the lawe sayenge Wo be vnto you Pharyses and Scrybes ye ypocrytes whych tyth mynte anyse and commyne and leaue the wayghter matters of the lawe behynde namely iudgemente mercye and faythe these ought to haue ben done and not to leaue the other behynde leaue not then the commaundementes of God But let them for as much as they are the wayghter dedes be fyrste obserued done the other also as it is before sayd not to be omytted as Paule counceleth Let euery soule submytte hymselfe to the auctorite of the hyer powers for ther is no power but of god the powers that be are ordeyned of God so that who so euer resysteth the powers resysteth the ordynaūce of god they that resyst shall receaue to thēselues dāpnaciō Warne thē that they submytte thēselues vnto prynces and to the hyer auctoryte to obey the offycers and to be ready to all good workes Be yet aduertysed gentle reader that thou putte no trust in those workes no nor yet in the externe workes of Goddes commaundementes to be iustifyed by them only but rather because that they come of fayth are they accepted for of only workes is no mā iustifyed also Dauid sayeth Enter not into iudgemēt with thy seruaunt for in thy syght shall no mā lyuyng be iustifyed By the dedes of the law no flesh maye be iustifyed in his syght The kyndnes loue of God our saueour to māwarde hath appeared not of the dedes of ryghteousnes which we wrought but of his mercy he saued vs. c. When ye haue done all these thinges whieh are commaunded you saye we are vnprophetable seruauntes we haue done which was our deuty to do These places with many other that myght be here inferred which now to auoyd prolixite are omytted do manifestly wytnes that by workes is no man saued yet be not discoraged nother saye with thy selfe what shal I do good workes seyng I shal not be saued by them then they wyll do no good Many thynges moueth a true christian to worke fyrst his fayth for as the tre can not brynge forth fruyt yf he hath lyfe in hym so can not the faythfull but bryng forth good workes yf he haue a perfect fayth in him wherfore yf that thou worke not be assured that thou lackest faythe a perfecte fayth seaseth not from workes A Christian also shulde worke to geue ensample as in the fyfte of Mathewe Christ sayeth Let your lyght so shyne before men that they maye se your good workes gloryfy your father which is in heauen se that ye haue honest conuersacion among the gentels that they whiche backbyte you as euyll doers mayese your good workes and prayse god in the daye of visitacion Itt moueth also a christian to worke that bytwyxt god and vs is a couenaunt made that he shall reward not for the dignite or worthines of the worke but for his couenauntes sake for the worthynes of the worke doth not receyue such a reward when the rewarde is an hundreth folde better then the worke in this conuenaunt of Christ as whosoeuer forsaketh houses or brethren or systers other father or mother or wyfe or chyldren or lande for my names sake ▪ the same shal recyue an hundreth folde and shalt inheryte euerlastyng lyfe Many are the conuenauntes made betwyxt god and vs and when Christ sayd happy are the mercyful for they shall obtayne mercye Blessed are the poore in spirite for theyrs is the kyngdome of heauen c. Yf ye shall forgeue other men theyr trespasses your heuenly father shal also forgeue you Yf thou wylt entre into lyfe kepe the commaundementes by these conuenauntes thou mayst perceyue Christian reader that vnto worke is a rewarde promysed by conuenaunt Wherfore yf thou delyte to worke for a reward be of good there and cease not to worke thou shalt haue a rewarde not for thy merites desertes or worthynes of thy worke as is before sayde but for thy conuenauntes sake But the chefe motyue to good workes is or shal be the very pure loue of God for vpon loue doth Christ founde the obseruacion of his commaundementes as it may be gathered by his sayenge yf ye loue me kepe my commaundementes So then the obseruaciō of goddes cōmaundementes is the effecte of the loue of god as in the same chapter it is expressed of Christ sayeng He that hath my commaundementes and kepeth them the same is he that loueth me So that a true christian ought to do good workes not for the loue of eternal lyfe nother for the feare of eternal death which ensueth the transgression of goddes cōmaundementes but for the very loue of God which fayth hath wrought in him By this it may be perceyued that although by fayth onely not by workes mā is iustifyed in the syght of god yet good workes are not thought to be despysed and that man shuld not worke as som falsly hath imputed to preachers but rather that all good workes shal be besely exercysed to the glory of god The thyrde sort of workes are of the tradicion of man whiche are not in the scrypture of God nor yet consonaunt to the scripture of god but playnly repugnaunt as pardons pylgrymages kissing of ymages offryng of candels knelyng and crouchyng to stockes and stones and suche other whiche ought not to be receyued nor obserued for it is rather to be obeyed to god thē vnto mā Actes v. the aucthours of such tradicions as Christ sayeth doth worshyp hym in vayne teachyng doctrynes which are nothynge but mennes preceptes Mat. xv Of these preceptes and mennes lawes seke the .xxviii. and .xxix. chapter of Esay in the whiche ye shall perceyue these pleasures of God for them ¶ The offyce of al estates BE wyse nowe therfore O ye kynges Be warned ye that are Iudges of the earth Psalmus iiii Serue the lord wyth feare reioyse before hym with reuerēce Heare therfore O ye kynges and vnderstande Sapien. vi O learne ye that be Iudges of the endes of the earth geue eare ye that rule the multitudes and delyte in much people for the power is giuē you of the Lorde and the strength from the highest whiche shall trye your workes and search out your ymaginacions Sapi. vi Vnto you therfore O ye kynges do I speake that ye maye learne wysdō not go amysse for they that kepe righteousnes shal be ryghteously iudged and they that are lerned in ryghteous thynges shal fynd to make aunswere wherfore set your lustes vpon my wordes loue them so shall ye come by nourture ¶ To the leage people of al estates vnto theyr prynce LEt euery soule submyt himselfe to the aucthorite of the hyer powers for there is no power but of God The powers that be are ordeyned of God so that whosoeuer resisteth the powers resisteth the ordinaunces of God Roma xiii And they that resyst shal receyue to themselues
