This is the train that followeth Lady Faith, as for an example: A faithful Judge hath first an heavy reckoning of his fault, repenting him self of his wickedness, and then for saketh his iniquity, his impiety, feareth no man, walks upright, and he that doth not thus, hath not Lady Faith, but rather a boldness of sin, & abusing of Christs passion.1 Lady Faith is never without her Gentleman Usher, nor without her train, she is no Anchoress, she dwells not alone, she is never a private woman, she is never alone. And yet many there be that boast them selves that they have Faith, and that when Christ shall come, they shall do well enough. Nay, nay, these that be faithful shall be so few, that Christs shall scarce see them. Many there be that runneth (saith Saint Paul,) but there is but one that receiveth the reward. It shall be with the multitude when Christ shall come, as it was in the time of Noah, and as it was in the time of Lot.
Thys is the trayne that foloweth Ladye Fayth, as for an example: A faythful Judge hath fyrste an heauye reckonyng of hys fault, repenting him selfe of hys wyckednes, and then for saketh his iniquitie, his impietye, feareth no man, walkes vpryght, and he that doth not thus, hath not Ladye Faythe, but rather a boldnes of synne, & abusing of Christes passion.1 Ladye Fayth is neuer wythout her Gentleman Usher, nor wythout her trayne, she is no Anckres, she dwels not alone, she is neuer a priuate woman, she is neuer alone. And yet many there be that boast them selues that they haue Fayth, and that when Christ shall come, they shall do well inough. Nay, nay, these that be faythful shal be so fewe, that Christs shal scarce see them. Manye there bee that runneth (saythe Saynt Paule,) but there is but one that receyueth the rewarde. It shall be wyth the multitude when Christe shall come, as it was in the tyme of Noe, and as it was in the tyme of Lot.
