Which also worketh in you that believe. Whosoever heareth the words of God, and doth them not, shall be likened to a foolish man that buildeth his house upon the sand. If ye know these things (saith Christ) blessed are 1ye, if ye do them. The same word of God which Paul taught the Thessalonians, which was preached by Peter, and the rest of the Apostles to the faithful, which Christ received of his father, and delivered to his Church, is this day by the mercy of God purely, and truly set down unto you. By it you are required to amend your lives, and comforted in the promises of GOD to the forgiveness of your sins. If there he any, in whom it worketh not this effect: if there be any, which (though they hear it) believe it not, nor are thereby renewed in their minds: it is a token, that they have not received the love of the trueth of the Gospel: they despise the word of salvation, and it shall judge them in that day.
