M. He teacheth that fayth sufficeth vn to
saluacion with out good
werkes. T. the scripture sayth / that assone as
a man repenteth of
evel and beleueth in Christes bloude / he
obteyneth mercye imediatly / because he shuld loue god and
of that loue doo good werkes /
& that he tarieth not in synne styll tyll
he haue done good werkes / & then is first forgeuen for
his werkessake / as the pope beareth his
in hande / excludynge the vertue of christes bloude. For a
man must be first reconsyled vn to god by Christ and in gods
fauoure / yer his werkes can be good & pleasaunt in the
sight of god. But we saye not as some damnablye lye on vs /
that we shuld doo euell to be iustified
by fayth / as thou maist se in the third of the
romanes how they said of the appostles for like
preachinge.
