sinne thorow him. And that Iames speaketh of a nother fayth then at the begynnynge appereth by his ensample. The deuelles haue fayth saith he: ye but the deuels haue no fayth that can repent of euell or to beleue in Christ / to be saued thorow him / or that can loue god and worke his will of loue. Now Paul speaketh of a faith that is in Christes bloude to be saued therby / which worketh immediatly thorow loue of the benefite receaued.

And Iames at the beginninge speaketh of a faith that bydeth trienge sayenge / the trienge of youre fayth worketh or causeth paciens. But the faith of the deuels wyll byde no trienge / for they wyll not worke gods wyll because they loue him not. And in like maner is it of the fayth of them that repent not or that thynke them selues with out synne. For except a man fele out of what daunger Christ hath delyuered him / he can not loue the worke. And therfore Iames saith right / that no soch faith that wyll not worke can iustifie a man.

JAMES: 1.3: 202/14

1 JOHN: 1.8: 30/14–15, 112/26–27, 202/17–18, 208/32–33

JAMES: 2.14: 202/20

And when Paul saith faith only iustifieth: and Iames / that a man is iustified by werkes and not by fayth only / there is greate difference betwene Pauls only and Iameses only. For Paules only is to be vnderstonde / that fayth iustifieth in the hert and before god / wyth out helpe of werkes / ye and yer I can worke. For I must receaue life thorow fayth to worke wyth / yer I can worke. But Iames only is this wise to be vnderstonde / that faith doeth not so iustifie / that no thynge iustifieth saue fayth / For dedes doo iustifie also. But fayth iustifieth in the herte and before god / and the dedes before the world only and maketh the other sene as ye maye se by the scripture.
