Cor. 15 O deth where is thy victory It is swalowed and brought to nought by victory Phi. 1 And vnto the Philippyans Christ is my life and deth is to me advauntage ¶ Howe that feith bryngeth Charyte and Charyte good workes Chaptre .viij.

wherby ys it that thou knowest that thou are the childe of god by the service that thou hast done hi Nay Wherby then by the faith wher by thou belevest the worde of god whiche sayth that thou art the childe of god before thou begynnest to serve hym as wryteth saint Paule in all his epistles Thy service and thy workes haue not gyvē the the faith and trust wherby thou belevest that thou art the childe of god and his heyre for thou haddest that or thou dydest hī any service but bicause that thou belevest stedfastly that god hath made the so grete by this faith beginnest thou to loue hym And

the goodnesse that god hath done vnto the comith the good works That is to sey whē thou belevest thou begynnest to love and when thou lovest thou doest that God wold haue done ¶ Howe that we shall not serve God for hyres or wages Chaptre ix THe workes done in suche fayth and charyte be allonely plesaūt vnto god and worthy to be called good workes for they be the workes of the holy gost that dwelleth in vs by this faith But they that are done by tediousnesse evill will for fere of hell or for desire of paradise be none other thīg but shadowes of workes makīg ypochrytes The ende of oure good workes may sēke nought but to please god knowlegīg that if we do never so moche we cā neuer do our duety for they that for feare of hell or for the ioyes of hevē do serve god do a cōstreined service which god will not Suche people do not serve God bicause he is theire god theire father but bicause he is riche for to haue part of his richesse they not god but his wayes and richesse that is to sey they serue for none other purpose but to haue they re rewardes and for to avoide his punissions And suche people be as it were hyred men and waged servauntes and are not children for the service they do is but for wages and hyres But the children of god serve they re father for loue for they knowe the goodnesse that god hath done to theym alredy in that they beleue that god hath made theym hys children and heyres Gala. 3 For saint Paule seith ye are all the children of god by the feith which is in Iesu Christ And ageyn forasmoche as ye be childrē god hath sent the sprit of his sonne in to your hartes crying Ga. 4 father father Thou art then nowe no servaunt but a sonne And if thou be the sonne thou art also heyre of god by christ as saieth saint Paule ye are all the children of ●ight and children of god Tessa 5 Then the children of god that is the true christen do not desyre to get the heretage by theire service for they knowe by the sure promyses of god whiche they do beleve that God of hym self hath purely and liberally gyuē it vnto theym alredy Is when a burgoys hath a servaunt and a sonne The servaunt serueth his master and dare not offend hym for feare of losing of his wages whiche he attendeth for for he serveth for wages and after that he hath receyved theym he levith his master axeth no more of him for he demaunded nothing els but his money which he hath receyved alredy The sonne of the house serveth hys father and kepeth his commaundementes not to haue wages but for loue that he hath vnto hys father For he knoweth the goodnesse that his father hath done to him and that he is heyre of the goodes of hys father And knoweth that he shall ever dwelle in his fathers house as saieth saint Iohn Iohn And therfore doth he liberally the will of his father by cause he will not anger him So must euery christen serve god and kepe hys commaundementes by true loue and not by hope to get for his service everlasting life or the heritage of his hevēly father but knowleging alonly that god hath gyven him that alredy and that he hath made him hys heyre ●yfore he requyred him So shall he serve him by love declaring that god is all good and to shewe that ageynst his goodnesse he wyll not be vnkynd ¶ Howe that we disheret oursilves by oure disobedience Chaptre x. NOwe must euery mā know that alonly they that by suche love serue God be the children of god his heyres and shal be saved For he that gyveth not thankes to God and loveth hym not of this facyon for the goodnesse that god of hym silf hath willingly done vnto him is cause that he is not the child of god and maketh him silf vnworthye of all the promyses of God Lyke as though there were a ma● that had gotten some grete rychesse by his laboure that he had .ij. sonnes The. ij sonnes be here egally like nighe vnto the goodes of they re father the herytage of they re father belōgeth egal●i● vnto thē for thei be both sonnes But if the one be rebell disobedient vnto his father do to him dishonour after that he come to thage of discretion by suche meanes may h● be cause of dishereting of him silf ● he is naturelly son●nd heyre to the goodes as well as his other brother but he disheriteth him silf by his evill life So are all parsones the childrē of god bought ageyn by Iesu Christ but they that rebell ageinst god and obey not vnto his commaundementes disheryt theym silves ād theym silves because of they re dāpnacyon God wold

they corde reade well For alas ye shall fynde thousandes of auncyent persones that can not sey the pater noster and Crede in they re mother tongue and of theym that say it in latyn are many that wote not whate they sey nor knowe not of never an article of the faith Wherfore I say that it is expedient for the christen to set all they re children to skole till they can reade a●d vnderstonde the holy scriptures namely when they be wrytē in they re mother tongue And then they that had not wyt and vnderstondinge worthy to be contynued at scole shulde be caused to lerne an occupacion If they did thus they shulde bring into the worlde double prou●fit First we shulde not haue suche a great nombre of prestes and monkes vnlettered and knowing nothing in the christen churche For nowe there are made many prestes monkes and freres that for lacke of litterature are nothing cōveniēt for that office By the vnlettered prestes is this grete erroure comen into the worlde that ys that in the stede of the pure scriptures whiche is the lyvely worde of God whiche they knowe not they preche narracions fables lyes and tradicions of the invenciō of the yppochrites that alas the faythfull trust honoure which belongeth to gods worde they cause the people to gyve to they re fables and lyes Secōdly it wolde proufit for if euery body wēt so long to skole they shuld vnderstōd more lightly the prechers if thei thē silves had redde the storyes or the Gospell after the letre then they might reherce to they re childrē servaūtes ī doing of their busines some thing of the gospell of the stories or of the scripture īstede of vaine fables ydell wordes vncouenabill maters which they speake the one to the other As we se sūtyme nowe a dayes that felowes of one crast whiche haue bin at scole syng many tymes the song in doing they re bussynesse whiche they haue learned to sing at the scole or at the churche and the other vileyn songes for they haue lerned none other thing ¶ Whate thing is the Christen faith and whate thing one ought to beleve to haue helth Chaptre iiij I Haue seyd at the beginning that the foundacion of Christendome is the faith whyche so fewe people haue and vnderstond not whate the faith is we thīke that when we beleve that god is god and can oure crede that we haue the faith that a Christen is bounde to haue The devell beleveth also that there is a God and one life everlasting and one hell but he is never the better for it Ye and he trembleth alway for this feith as faith saint Iames Iam. 2. The devels beleve and they tremble Som● man might axe whate shall I thē beleve Thou shalt beleve then first plainly and vndoutedly that the father the sonne and the holy gost is one onely god● And this thou shalt not desyre to vnderstond howe nor busy thy silfe moche therin for this is not the principall that we must beleve Oure faith lyeth not principally therin For this likewise beleve the wicked sprites as is saide before and are nothing the better therfore There is yet an other feith whiche Christ so moche requyreth of vs in the gospell and wher unto also saint Paule almost in all his epistles so strongly exhorteth vs. That is that we must first beleve the gospell when oure lorde began first to preache he said as reherseth saint Marke haue repentaunce ād beleve in the gospell Mar. 1. Thou mayst axe me whate thing ys the gospell Hit is a good and ioyfull message or glad tydinges For it is newes of the favour grace mercy and goodnesse of god towarde vs. It is I sey tydinges that god hath taken vs to mercy and therfore songe the aungels when Christ was borne as reherseth saint Luke Lu. ● I shewe vnto you greate ioy for this day is borne youre savioure whiche is Christ the lorde In this gospell that is to sey in this message we beleve certainly that god the father hath sent hither his sonne for to bye vs agayn to enfraunchise vs and to delyuer vs frō the devel to whome we were made subiectes and servauntes by the sinne of oure fore father we coude not helpe ou● silves bicause we were servauntes and b●nde None of vs was abill to satisfie for vs For we were all like wise subiected as sayth Saynt Paule vnto the Romayns Ro. 3. They haue all sinned ād haue nede to the grace of god It was nedefull then that he that shuld satisfie for vs shulde be without sinne without subiection or obligacion And no suche patron or mediatour was there founde in the worlde Thē this one thing was of necessite that other we must abide lost for euer or it behoved that god shulde be made mā So hath oure god almighty had pitye and compassion on vs by the greate love that he had toward vs and hath sent his onely sonne Iesu christ Hiere 31 As writeth the prophete Hieremye saing I haue loved them a-perpetuell charyte therfore I haue drawen the having mercy He hath sent him to thintent that b● his deth whiche he had not deserved he myght appayse God and satisfie hym for vs. Co● 5 As wryteth saynt Paule All is of God whiche hath reconcilyed vs vnto him by christ Then is Christ made a mediator bytwene god and man and hath offered him silfe an oblacion for vs to his father wherby he hath reconsiled vs agayn and made oure peace And for bicause the devell did set his honde vppon Christ to whome he had no right he hath so lost all his right whiche he had over vs. And so are we delyuered from the servitude and subiection of the devell and belong vnto Christ. And by that that the sonne of god is nowe made man he is also made oure brother And if we be his bretheren we be also enheriters wyth hym of the glory of his father Ro. 8. As writeth saint Paule vnto the Romayne saying If we be children we be also heyres with Christ. And we haue as moche and as greate right to heven as Iesu Christ hym silfe For christe is a sonne of God so be we reserved that he is a sonne naturall and was for euer without beginning the sonne of God But we be the children of God allonly by the goodnesse and grace of God whyche he hath done to vs as sayeth Saynt Paule Ephe. 1. He hath predestinate vs into an election of the children of God Then ys it this comen to passe that we must beleve surely that we be the children of god and that god is oure father Secondly thou shalt stedfastly beleve the wordes of god that is to sey that all that god hath seyde shall come to passe and be done without ony f●lse ●ene 17 and. 2● As did the faithfull Abraham whiche when god had promysed to him a thing impossible
