And he caused it to bee proclaimed and published through Nineueh by the decree of the king and his nobles saying let neither man nor beast heard nor flocke taste any thing let them not feede nor drinke water 8. But let man and beast be couered with sakcloth and cry mightily vnto God yea let them turne euery one from his euill way and from the violeÌ„ce that is in their hands Ionah 3. 9.

Forbearing one another and forgiuing one another if any man haue a quarrell against any euen as Christ forgaue you so also do ye 14.

And whatsoeuer ye do in word or deed do all in the name of the Lord Iesus giuing thankes to God and the Father by him 6. Phil. 4.

But speaking the truth in loue may grow vp into him in al things which is the head euen Christ Phil. 1. 9.

For if any be a hearer of the word and not a doer he is like vnto a man beholding his naturall face in a glasse 24. For hee beholdeth himselfe and goeth his way and straight way forgetteth what manner of man he was Iam. 1. 25. But who so looketh into the perfect law of libertie continueth therin he being not a forgetfull hearer but a doer of the worke this man shall be blessed in his deed 26. If any among you seeme to be religious and bridle not his tongue but deceiueth his owne heart this mans religion is vaine 27. Pure religion and vndefiled before God and the father is this to visit the fatherlesse and the widdowes in their affliction and to keepe himselfe vnspotted from the world Rom. 2. 13. Not the hearers of the law are iust before God but the doers of the law shall be iustified 21. Mat. 7. Not euery one that saith vnto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdome of heauen but hee that doth the will of my father which is in heauen 24. Whosoeuer heareth these sayings of mine and doth them I will liken him vnto a wise man which built his house vpon a rock 25. And the raine descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beate vpon that house and it fell not for it was founded vpon a rocke Math. 7. 26. And euery one that heareth these sayings of mine and doth them not shall be likened vnto a foolish man which built his house vpon the sand 27. And the raine descended and the floods came and the winds blew and beat vpon that house and it fell and great was the fall of that house 5. 16. Let your light so shine before mē that they may see your good works and glorifie your father which is in heauen 5. Peter 1. 5. Adde to your faith vertue to vertue knowledge 6. And to knowledge temperance and to temperance patience and to patience godlinesse 7. And to godlinesse brotherly kindnesse and to brotherly kindnes charitie 8. For if these things be in you and abound they make you that you shall neither be barren nor vnfruitfull in the knowledge of our Lord Iesus Christ 9. But he that lacketh these things is blind cannot see farre off and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sinnes 2. Pet. 1. 10. Wherefore the rather brethren giue diligence to make your calling and election sure for if ye do these things yee shall neuer fall 11. For so an entrance shall bee ministred vnto you abundantly into the euerlasting kingdome of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ Tit. 3. 8. This is a faithfull saying and these things I will that thou affirme constantly that they which haue beleeued in God might be carefull to maintaine good workes these things are good and profitable vnto men 14. Iam. 2. What doth it profit my brethren though a man say he hath faith and haue not works can faith saue him 15. If a brother or a sister be naked and destitute of dayly foode 16. And one of you say vnto them depart in peace bee you warmed and filled notwithstanding yee giue them not those things which are needfull for the body what doth it profit 17. Euen so faith if it haue not works is dead being alone Iames 2. 21. Was not Abraham our father iustified by works when hee had offered Isaac his sonne vpon the Altar 22. Seest thou how faith wrought with his works and by works was faith made perfect 23. And the Scripture was fullfilled which saith Abraham beleeued God and it was imputed to him for righteousnesse and he was called the friend of GOD. 24. Yee see then how that by workes a man is iustified and not by faith onely 26. For as the body without the spirit is dead so faith without works is dead also Iustification 19. NOw wee know Rom. 3. that what things soeuer the law saith it saith to them that are vnder the law that euery mouth may bee stopped and all the world may become guiltie before God 20. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shal no flesh bee iustified in his sight for by the law is the knowledge of sinne Rom. 3. 21. But now the righteousnesse of God without the law is manifested being witnessed by the law and the Prophets 22. Euen the righteousnesse of God which is by faith of Iesus Christ vnto all and vpon all them that beleeue for there is no difference 23. For all haue sinned and come short of the glory of God 24. Being iustified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Iesus Christ 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is iustified by faith without the deeds of the law 31. Do wee then make voyde the law through faith God forbid yea we establish the law 4 To him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace but of debt Rom. 4. 5. But to him that worketh not but beleeueth on him that iustifieth the vngodly his faith is counted for righteousnesse 13. The promise that he should be the heire of the world was not to Abraham or his seed thorough the law but thorough the righteousnesse of faith Rom. 4. 14. For if they which are of the law be heires faith is made voyd and the promise made of none effect Rom. 5. 1. Being iustified by faith wee haue peace with God through our Lord Iesus Christ 2. By whom also wee haue accesse by faith into his grace wherin we stand and reioyce in hope of the glory of God 18. As by the offence of one iudgement came vpon all men to condemnation euē so by the righteousnesse of one the free gift came vpon all men vnto iustification of life 5. Titus 3. Not by workes of righteousnesse which wee haue done but according to his mercy hee saued vs by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the holy Ghost 6. Which he shed on vs abundantly through Iesus Christ our sauiour 7. That being iustified by his grace we should be made heires according to the hope of eternall life 8. Ephe. 2. By grace are yee saued through faith and that not of your selues it is the gift of God 9. Not of workes least any man should boast Galat. 5. 4. Christ is become of none effect vnto you whosoeuer of you are iustified by the law yee are fallen from grace 5. For we through the spirit waite for the hope of righteousnesse by faith 6. For in Iesus Christ neither circumcision auaileth any thing nor vncircumcision but faith which worketh by loue Luk. 17. 10. When ye shall haue done all those things which are commanded you say wee are vnprofitable seruants wee haue done that which was our dutie to doe 8. Phil. 3.
