Morouer this oure faith which we haue in
Christ / is euer fought agenst / euer assaylled and beten at
with disperacion: not when we sinne only / but also in all
temptacions of adversite in to which God bringeth vs / to
nurtoure vs and to shew vs oure awne hertes / the ypocrisie and
false thoughtes that there lye hidd / oure al most no faith at
all and as litle loue / even then happly when we
thought oure selues most perfecte of all. For when
temptacions come we can not stond / when we haue synned faith
is feble / when wronge is done vs we can not forgeue / in
sickenes / in losse of goodes and in
all tribulacions we be impacient: when oure neyboure
neadeth oure helpe / that we must departe with him of oures
then loue is colde.

gaye cote. Cf.
Gen. 37.23, 32. Tyndale describes Joseph's
cloak as a "gay coote," i.e., "gay coat" (Mombert 113–14; TOT 61).
Tyndale in Gen. 37.3 (Mombert 112;TOT 60) and KJV in all
three verses use "coat of many colours." Tyndale refers to Tamar's "gay
kirtle" (2 Sam. 13.19; TOT 439E); KJV to her
"garment of diuers colours." Tyndale lists among David's gifts to the
future temple "gay stones" (1 Chron. 29.2; TOT 578A); KJV, "glistering
stones, and of diuers colours."Tyndale and KJV both describe the rich as
wearing 'gaye clothynge' in Jas. 2.3 (Wallis 524/20; TNT 364A). In his
Prologue to Jonas, Tyndale describes a conversion based on
works-righteousness: "[T] hey had made their souls gay against the
receiving again of the wicked spirit" (TOT 634). He alludes here to
Matt. 12.44, where Tyndale (Wallis 47/21; TNT 36D) and KJV
both describe the soul as "garnisshed." More
uses the phrase "gay sworde" in Dialogue (CWM
6/1.254/39).

And thus we lerne and fele that there is no goodnesse ner yet
power to doo good / but of God only. And in all soch
temptacions oure faith perisheth not vtterly neyther our loue
and consent vnto the law of God / But they be weke / sycke and
wounded and not
cleane deed. As a good child whom the father and
mother haue
taught nurtoure and wisdom / loueth his father and
all his commaundementes / and perceaueth of the goodnesse
shewed him / that his father loueth him and that all his
fathers preceptes are vnto his welth and profitt / and that his
father commaundeth him nothinge for any neade that his father
hath therof / but seketh his profitt only /
and therfore hath a good faith vn to all his fathers promises and
loueth al his commaundementes and doeth them with good wyll
and with good will goeth to scole. And by the waye haply he
seeth companie playe and with the sight is taken and raveshed of
his me
