Like as he sayeth in an other place in the gospel to the Pharisees. The works which I do, bear witness of me. ⟨image 150⟩As who say I prove my self what I am, by my works: Again he saith, if I […] do the works of my father, believe me not. So that most manifestly he proveth himself to be that prophet, which was spoken of before by the prophets and other holy men of god.

This is a very notable saying and most3 comfortable to all troubled consciences, Jesus hath done many things which are not written, but these are written that we should […] him to be Christ: that that Jesus, Mary's son that was […] at Bethlehem, and nourished at Nazareth, that he is the saviour of […]: and so in believing in him, we shall have life […].

Now his disciples standing about him, and […] him in this case they said unto him: how chanceth it that ye are so troubled father? for certainly there was no body so good a liver, so […] ly, as ye have […]: therefore you have not need to fear, for no doubt but you shall come to heaven. The old father made them answer again, saying, though I have lived uprightly, yet for all that it […] not help me, I lack some thing yet: and so he did in deed.
