This Faith is a great State, a Lady, a Duchess, a great1 woman, and she hath ever a great company and train about her (as a noble Estate ought to have.) First she hath a Gentleman […] that goeth before her, and where he is ⟨p. 57⟩not, there is not Lady Faith. This Gentleman Usher is2 called Agnitio peccatorum, knowledge of sin, when we enter […] our hart, and acknowledge our faults, and stand not about to defend them. He is none of these wincers, he kicks not when he hears his fault. Now as the Gentleman Usher goeth before her, so she hath a train that cometh behind her, and yet though they come behind, they be all of Faiths company, they are all with her, as Christ when he counter faited a State going to Jerusalem, some went before him, and some after, yet all were of his company. So all these wait upon Faith, she hath a great train after her, besides her Gentleman Usher, her whole household, and those be the works of our vocation, when every man […] what vocation he is in, what calling he is in, and doth the works of the same, as to be good to his neighbour, to obey God. &c.

This Gentleman Usher is2 called Agnitio peccatorum, knowledge of synne, when we enter 〈…〉 our hart, and acknowledge our faultes, and stande not about to defend them. He is none of these wynckers, he kyckes not when he heares hys faulte. Now as the Gentleman Usher goeth before her, so she hath a trayne that commeth behinde her, and yet thoughe they come behinde, they be al of Faythes companye, they are all with her, as Christe when he counter faited a State goyng to Hierusalem, some went before him, and some after, yet all were of hys company. So al these wayte vpon Fayth, she hath a great traine after her, besides her Gentleman Usher, her whole housholde, and those be the woorkes of our vocation, when euerye man what vocation he is in, what callyng he is in, and doth the wóorkes of the same, as to be good to his neighbour, to obey God. &c.
