For Paul saith Roma. iiij. if Abraham
haue workes / he hath wherof to reioce / but not before
god. For if Abraham had receaued
those promises of deseruynge / then had it bene
Abrahams prayse
and not gods / as thou maist se in the texte: nether had god
shewed Abraham mercy and grace / but had only geuen him his
dutie and deseruinge. But in that Abraham receaued all the
mercie that was shewed him / frely thorow fayth / out of the
deseruinges of the seed that was promised him / as thou
maist se by Genesis and by the gospell
of Ihon / where Christ testifieth that Abraham
saw his daye and reioysed / and of that ioye nodoute wrought
/ it is gods prayse / and the glory of his mercye. And the
same maist thou se by Iames / when he saith Abraham offered
his sonne / and so was the scripture fulfilled / that
Abraham beleued / and it was rekened him for rightwysnesse
and he was therby made gods frende.

How was it fulfilled? before god? Naye / it was fulfilled
before god manye yeres before / & he was gods frende
many yeres before / euen from the first appoynttment that
was made betwene god and him. Abraham receaued promises of
all mercie and beleued and trusted god & went &
wrought out of that faith. But it was fulfilled before vs
which can not se the herte / as Iames sayth / I wyll shew
the my fayth out of my workes / and as the angell said to Abraham / now I know that thou dreadest god. Not but that he knew it
before / but for vs spake he that / whych can se nought in
Abraham moare then in other men / saue by his workes.
