And all they whych beleue that their
synnes be forgeuen them and they receaued as the scripture
testifieth / vn to the enheritaunce of heuen for Christes
merites / the same loue christ & their brethern for his
sake and doo all thynge for their sakes only / not once
thynkinge of heuen / when they worke / but on their bretherns neade. When they sofre them selues aboue might / then they comforte
their soule with the remembraunce of heuen / that this
wrechednesse shall haue an ende and we shall haue a
thousandfold pleasures and rewardes in heuen / not for the
merites of oure deseruynges but geuen vs frely for
Christes. And he that hath that loue hath the right faith.
And he that hath that faith hath the right loue. For I can
not loue my neyboure for Christes sake / excepte I first
beleue that I haue receaued soch mercy of Christe. Ner can I beleue that I haue receaued soch mercy of Christ / but that I must
loue my neyboure for his sake / seinge that he so
instantly desyreth me.
