¶ For Faith.
Forasmuch as nothing pleaseth thee, that is done with out faith, appear it before the blind world never so beautiful and commendable, but is counted in thy sight sinful and damnable, yea, the self sin and damnation, this is most humbly to desire thee (O father) for Christs sake, to breathe into my hart by thy Spirit, this most precious and singular gift of faith, which worketh by Charity, whereby also we are justified and received into thy favour, ⟨p. 30⟩that I truly believing in thee, and fully persuaded of the trueth of thy holy word, may be made thy son and inheritor of everlasting glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
