Therefore that penance which proceedeth not of faith, is unprofitable. For we must believe that remedy is granted to penance of our saviour. Fulgentius also saith, ¹Judas that betrayed Christ, repented him of his sin, but he lost health & salvation, because he trusted not to be forgiven. He repented worthily in deed because he sinned betraying the righteous blood, but he therefore lost the fruit of his repentance, because that he did not trust that the sin of his betraying should be washed away with his blood, whom he betrayed. Thus see you how necessary faith is unto a contrite heart, & how that without that, it is not possible for any penitent sinner to receive remission of his since, as divers manifest texts & Histories of the holy scripture do evidently prove & show.

Therfore that penāce which procedeth not of fayth, is vnprofytable. For we must beleue that remedy is graunted to penaunce of our sauyour. Fulgētius also sayth, ¹Iudas that betrayed Christ, repented hym of his syn, but he lost helth & saluacion, bycause he trusted not to be forgyuen. He repented worthe ly in dede bycause he synned betrayenge the ryghteous bloude, but he therfore loste the fruyte of his repē taūce, bycause that he dyd not trust that the syn of his betraieng should be wasshed awaye wyth his bloude, whōe he betrayed. Thus se you how necessary faythe is vnto a contryte herte, & howe that wtoute that, it is not possible for any penitēt siner to receyue remission of hys synnes, as dyuers manifest textes & Historyes of the holy scrypture do euydentlye proue & shew.
