blyndenesse / as god had wrought nothynge in the repentaunce of peter. Sayd not christ before / that peter shuld faull. And sayd he not that he had prayed for hym that he shulde be holpe vpp agayne? Christ prayed a stronge prayer for peter to helpe hym vpp agayne and sofred a stronge deeth therto. And before his deeth he committed them vn to hys father saynge I haue kepte them in thy name & I departe / kepe them now from euell. Peter had a good hert too god and loued his lawe and beleued in christe and had the spirite of god in him which neuer left him for all his faull. Peter sinned of no malice / but of frailtie & soden feare of deeth. And the goodnesse of God wrought hys repentaunce and all the meanes by whych he was brought vpp agayne at christes requeste. And Iudas was neuer good ner came to christ for loue of his doctrine / but of couetousnesse / ner dyd euer beleue in christe.

Iudas was by nature and birth (as we all be) heyre of the wrath of god / in whom the deuel wrought hys will and blynded hys hert with ignoraunce. In which ignoraunce and blyndnesse he grue / as he grue in age and fell deper and deper therin / and therby wrought all hys wekednesse and the deuels wyll and perished therin. From whych ygnoraunce god purged peter off hys mercye and gaue hym light and hys spirite too gouern hym / and not of any towardnesse that was in peter off his awne byrth: but for the mercy that we haue in the birth of chrystes deeth.

And how wil M. More proue that god choseth not off hys goodnesse but off oure towardnesse?
