§. 56. Of a pure heart arising from Faith.
2 The next thing which argueth a clear conscience to be a fruit of Faith,1 is an inseparable property thereof, namely a pure heart. fThese two doth the Apostle •oyne, and that together with Faith and love: •ea,g he placeth the testimony of a good conscience in simplicity •and godly pureness. Nowh from Faith cometh purity of heart: for Faith hath immediate respect to God alone, whoi seeth not as man seeth, butk searcheth the heart, and trieth the reins, & in that respect causeth a man to walk⟨p. 256⟩ before him in truth, and with a perfect heart: therefore is true Faith called unfeigned faith: so as he that in truth dares say,l Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in mine integrity, hath a good evidence of Faith.
