And to approve this their pernicious and pestilent gloss, they allege this place out of the Corinthians:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men & angels, & have no love I am nothing. This place is their brazen wall. But these men are without understanding, & therefore they can see or understand nothing in Paul. And moreover they have not only done injury to the words of Paul, but also they have denied Christ & buried all his benefits.2 Wherefore we must avoid this their gloss as a most deadly and devilish poison and conclude with Paul that we are justified, not by faith furnished with charity, but by faith only and alone.
