Christ praiseth the faith of the woman, 1& he doeth that in many places in the history of the Gospel, there of it may be easily understand, that faith should be published & exalted with praises, & his power & strength should be always & diligently declared & inculcated: for Christ doth praise nothing, except it be praise worthy. Wherefore, first I shall teach & prove, that the prophets Christ, the Apostles & old writers of the right opinion & faith have preached and published always faith after the same manner, that it may be seen, that we be reproved & blamed now unworthily for this doctrine. Therefore I will not take it grievously, to put to also the cause of so great praise and commendation, whereby faith is praised.
CHriste prayseth the faithe of the woman, 1& he doeth that in many places in the histori of the Gospel, ther of it may be easeli vnderstād, that faith shuld be published & exalted with prayses, & his power & strēgth should be alwayes & diligētli declared & ineulcated: for Christ doth prayse nothing, except it be prayse worthie. Wherfore, fyrst I shall teache & proue, that the prophetes Christe, the Apostles & old writters of the right opiniō & fayth haue preached and published alwayes fayth after the same maner, that it may be sene, that we be reproued & blamed now vnworthely for this doctrine. Therfore I will not take it grieuously, to put to also the cause of so great prayse and commendation, whereby fayth is praysed.
