at all / vntyll the wytt haue determined thys or that to be good or bad. Now what is faith saue a spirituall lyght of vnderstondinge and an inwarde knowlege or felynge of marde. Out of whych knowlege loue doeth springe. But loue brought me not that knowlege / for I knew yt yer I loued. So that loue in the processe off nature to dyspute from the cause to the effecte helpeth not at all to the felynge that God is mercifull to me no moare than the louynge herte and kynd behavoure of an obedyent wyfe to hir husbonde / maketh hyr se hys loue and kyndenesse to hir / for many soch haue vnkynde husbandes. But by hys kynde dedes to hir doeth she se his loue. Euen so my loue & dedes make me not se Gods loue to me in the processe of nature: but hys kynde dedes to me / in that he gaue his sonne for me maketh me se his loue and to loue agayne.

Oure loue and good werkes make not god first loue vs / and chaunge hym from hate to loue / as the Turke / Iew and vayne popish meane but hys loue and dedes make vs loue and chaunge vs from hate to loue. For he loued vs when we were euell and hys enimies as testifieth Paul in dyuers places and chose vs to make vs good and to shew vs loue and to draw vs to hym / that we shuld loue agayne.

The father loueth hys chyld / when yt hath no power to doo good and when yt must be sofered to runne after the awne lustes wyth out lawe / and neuer loueth yt better then then / to make yt better and too shewe yt loue / to loue agayne. Yf he coude se what ys wrytten in the fyrst pistle of Ihon / though al the other scripture were layed aparte / he shuld se all thys.
