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. I count all things but losse for the excellencie of the knowledge of Christ Iesus my Lord for whom I haue suffered the losse of all things and doe count them
but dung that I may winne Christ 9. And bee found in him not hauing mine owne righteousnes which is of the law but that which is through the faith of Christ the righteousnesse which is of God by faith 11. Bee not slothfull Heb. 6. but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promise Gal. 3. 2. This onely would I learne of you receiued ye the spirit by the workes of the law or by the hearing of faith 3. Are yee so foolish hauing begun in the spirit are yee now made perfect by the flesh 11. That no man is iustified by the law in the sight of God it is euident for the iust shall liue by faith 18. If the inheritance be of the law it is no more of promise but God gaue it to Abraham by promise 21. Gal. 3. For if there had been a law giuen which could haue giuen life verily righteousnes should haue beene by the law 22. But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne that the promise by faith of Iesus Christ might be giuen to them that beleeue 23. But before faith came we were kept vnder the Law shut vp vnto the faith which should afterwards be reuealed 24. Wherefore the law was our Schoolemaster to bring vs vnto Christ that we might bee iustified by faith Gal. 3. 25. But after that faith is come we are no longer vnder a Schoolemaster 26. For yee are all the children of God by faith in Christ Iesus Fasting Matth. 6. 16. WHen ye fast be not as the Hipocrites of a sad countenance for they disfigure their faces that they may appeare vnto men to fast verily I say vnto you they haue their reward 17. But thou when thou fastest anoint thine head and wash thy face 18. That thou appeare not vnto men to fast but vnto thy father which is in secret thy father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly 5. Isa 58. Is it such a fast that I haue chosen a day for a man to afflict his soule Is it to bowe downe his head as a bulrush and to spread sackloth and ashes vnder him wilt thou call this a fast and an acceptable day to the Lord 6. Is not this the fast that I haue chosen to loose the bonds of wickednesse to vndoe the heauie burthens and to let the oppressed goe free and that ye breake euery yoke 7. Is it not to deale thy bread to the hungry and that thou bring the poore that are cast out to thine house when thou seest the naked that thou couer him and that thou hide not thy selfe from thine owne flesh Zechar. 7. 5. When ye fasted and mourned in the fift and seauenth moneth euen those seuentie yeares did ye at all fast vnto me euen to me 9. Thus speaketh the Lord of Hostes saying execute true iudgement and shew mercie and compassion euerie man to his brother 10. And oppresse not the widdow nor the fatherlesse the stranger nor the poore and let not any of you imagine euill against his brother in your heart 3. Dan. 9. I set my face vnto the Lord God to seeke by prayer and supplication with fasting and sackcloth and ashes 4. Nehem. 1. I sate downe and wept and mourned certaine dayes and fasted and prayed before the Lord of heauen 1. Sam. 7. 6. The Israelites fasted and said We haue sinned against the Lord. Luke 2. 37. Anna was a widdow of about fourescore and foure yeares which departed not from the Temple but serued God with fasting and prayers day and night udg 20. 26. All the children of Israel and all the people went vp and came vnto the House of God and wept and sate there before the Lord and fasted that day vntill euen and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord. 12. Ioel. 2. Turne ye euen to me saith the Lord with all your heart and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning 13. And rent your hearts and not your garments and turne vnto the Lord your God for he is gratious and mercifull slow to anger and of great kindnesse and repenteth him of the euill 15. Blow the trumpet in Zion sanctifie a fast call a solemme assembly 16. Gather the people sanctifie the Congregation assemble the Elders gather the children and those that suck the breasts let the bridegrome goe forth of his chamber and the bride out of her closet Ioel 2. 17. Let the Priests the Ministers of the Lord weepe between the Porch and the Alter and let them say Spare thy people O Lord and giue not thine heritage to reproch that the heathen should rule ouer them Ionah 3. 5. The people of Nineueh beleeued God and proclaimed a fast and put on sackloth from the greatest of them to the least of them 6. And the king of Nineueh arose from his throne and hee layde his robe from him and couered him with sackloth and sate in ashes 7. 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. Who can tell if God will â—â—â—ne and repent and turne away from his fierce anger that we perish not 10. And God saw their workes that they turned from their euill way and God repented of the euill that hee had said that hee would doe vnto them and he did it not Meates Col. 2. 16. LEt no man iudge you in meate or in drinke Rom. 14. 17. For the kingdome of God is not meate and drink but righteousnesse and peace and ioy in the holy Ghost 8. 1. Cor. 8. Meate commendeth vs not to God for neither if we eate are wee the better neither if we eate not are we the worse 25. 10. Whatsoeuer is sold in the shambles that eate making no question for conscience sake for the earth is the Lords and the fullnesse thereof 14. Rom. 14. There is nothing vncleane of it selfe but to him that esteemeth any thing to bee vncleane to him it is vncleane Tit. 1. 15. Vnto the pure all things are pure but vnto them that are defiled and vnbeleeuing is nothing pure but euen their mind and conscience is defiled Mat. 15. 11. Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man but that which commeth out of the mouth this defileth a man 18. Those things which proceede out of the mouth come forth from the heart and they defile the man Mar. 7. 15. There is nothing from without a man that entring into him can defile him but the things which come out of him those are they that defile the man 21. For from within out of

GOd hath set forth Christ Iesus to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to declare his righteousnesse for the remission of sinnes that are past through the forbearance of God 2. 1. Iohn 2. And he is the propitiation for our sinnes and not for ours onely but also for the sinnes of the whole world 6. 1. Tim. 2. Hee gaue himselfe a ransome for all to be testified in due time 4. Isay 53. Surely he hath borne our griefes and carried our sorrowes 5. Hee was wounded for our transgressions hee was bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was vpon him and with his stripes are we healed 25. Rom. 4. Hee was deliuered for our offences and was raised againe for our iustification 1. Pet. 2. 24.
