Whosoever resorteth to god without Christ,1 he resorteth in vain. Our prayer pleaseth, because of Jesus Christ, whom we offer. So that it is faith, faith faith, is the matter. It is no prayer that is without faith, it is but a lip labouring, and monkery without faith. It is but a little babbling.
Whosoeuer resorteth to god wythout Christ,1 he resorteth in vayne. Our praier pleaseth, because of Iesu Christ, whom we offer. So that it is fayth, fayeth faith, is the matter. It is no prayer that is without faith, it is but a lippe labouring, and monkerye wythout fayth. It is but alytle bablynge.
- 1In all our prays we must bring a present with us to god and mark well who it is.In all oure prayes we muste brynge a present with vs to god and marke wel who it is.
I spake also of lack of faith and upon that also I said, the end of the world is near at hand, For there is lack of faith now. Also the defection is come and swerving from the faith Antichrist the man of sin,1 the son of iniquity is revealed, the latter day is at hand. Let us not think his coming is far of. But when soever he ⟨image 111⟩cometh he shall find iniquity enough, let him come when he will What is now behind? we be eating and drinking as they were in Noes time, and Marrying I think as wickedly as ever was.2 We be building, purchasing, planting in the contempt of Goods word. He may come shortly when he will, for there is so much mischief and swerving from the faith (raining now in our days) as ever was in any age. It is a good warning to us all to make ready against his coming. This little rehearsal I have made of the things I speak in my last sermon.
