with violence of the scripture which everiwhere bare wittenesse
vn to christe and agreed vn to al that he did / and ouercome
also with the power of miracles that confirmed the same. That
is to saye / they came with a storifaith / a popish faith / a faithlesse faith & a fayned faith of their awne makinge / and not as
God
in the scripture describeth the faith / so beleuinge
in christ / that they
woldbe iustified by theyr awne dedes / which is the
denienge of
christe. As oure papistes beleue. Which moare mad
then those Iewes / beleue nothynge by the reason of the
scripture / but only that soch a multitude consent therto /
compelled with violence of swerde / with falsyfienge of the
scripture and fayned lyes. Which multitude yet is not the fifte
part so many as they that consent vn to
the lawe of Mahomete. And therfore by their awne
argumentes / the faith of the turkes is better then theirs. And
their faith therto maye
stond by theyr awne confession / with all misheue
(as it well appereth by them) and with yeldynge them selues to
worke all wekednesse
with full delectacion / aftir the ensample of the
faith of their father the deuell / and with out repentaunce and
consent vn to the
law of god / that it is good. Which popish therto
so beleue in Christ /
and so wilbe his saruauntes / that they wilbe bond
vn to domme ceremonies and deed workes puttynge their trust and
confidence in them & hopinge to be saued by them and
ascribynge vn to them the thanke of their saluacion and
righttewysnesse.
