The grace . . .
Amen. CWM 8/1.41/5–10. Ten Pauline epistles greet
the reader with prayers for "grace and peace" (Romans, 1 and 2
Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 and 2
Thessalonians, Philemon). Three open with "grace, mercy and peace" (1
and 2 Timothy, Titus). Answer outdoes Paul by
praying for "grace," "light," "repentaunce" "faith," and
"loue."

true iudgement and discrecyon to iudge / and shall proue that
the taste of their mouthes is corrupte / so that they iudge
swete to be sowre and sowre
to be swete / and their yies to be blinde / so that
they thinke that to

supersticyon / for
zele of which yet they persecute the true service of

false imaginacion of a corrupte iudgement / for blinde
affeccyon of which yet they
persecute the true lawe of god & them that kepe
it. And this same is
it that Paule sayeth in the seconde chaptre of the
first epistle to the
Corinthians / how that the naturall man that is not
borne agayne
and created anew with the spirite of god / be he
never so greate a philosopher / never so well sene in the lawe
/ never so sore studyed in the scripture / as we haue ensamples
in the pharises / yet he can not vnderstonde the thinges of the
spirite of god: but sa
