Behold, I have heard the Gospel preached; I remember the history of Christ: Lo, I believe and yet am not justified. True it is, for because this thy faith is nothing but thy own bare and naked imagination and cogitation of faith which doth not innovate thy hart, & which doth move thee nothing at all, there followeth no newness of life, no works of faith.
