And ye must vnderstonde / that we some
tyme dispute forwarde / from the cause to the effecte and
some tyme backwarde from the effecte to the cause / and
must beware that we be not therwith begyled / we saye somer
is come and therfore all is grene / and
dispute forwarde. For somer is the cause of the
grenesse. We saye the trees be grene / and therfore somer
is come / and dispute backwarde
from the effecte to the cause / For the grenetrees make not
somer / but maketh somer knowen. So we dispute backwarde
/ the
man doeth good dedes and profitable vn to his
neyboure / he must therfore loue god: he loueth god / he
must therfore haue a true fayth and se mercye.

And yet my workes make not my loue ner my loue my fayth ner
my fayth Gods mercye: But contrary / Gods mercye maketh
my fayth and my fayth my loue and my loue my workes. And if
the pope coude se mercy and worke of loue to his neyboure
and not sell his workes to god for heuen after Master Mores
doctrine / we neded not so sotle disputynge of fayth.

And when Master More allegeth Paul to the Corinthians / to
proue that fayth maye be wyth out loue / he proueth
nothynge / but iugleth only. He sayth it is euident by the
wordes of Paul / that a man maye haue a fayth to doo
miracles wyth out loue and maye geue all his good in almes
with out loue / and geue his body to burne for the name of
Christe / and all with out charite. Well I wyll not stycke
wyth him: he maye so doo wyth out charite and wyth out
fayth therto. Then a man maye haue fayth wyth out fayth. Ye verely because there be many differences of fayth / as I haue
sayde /
