And if we speak of the righteousness poured into us of God (as they call it) we may not leave out this belief and living trust, for it is one of the high and needful virtues: ⟨image 11⟩Ye this trust wakeneth up comfort, love, prayer or calling upon God, and life in the heart, as is written. Gall. 2. That I now live, I live through the belief in the Son of God: And love and comfort cannot be or abide in the heart, if this belief and this trust go not before.
And if we speake of the rightwesnes poured into vs of God (as they calle it) we maye not leaue out this belefe and liuing trust, for it is one of the highe and neadfull vertues: ⟨image 11⟩Yee this truste wakeneth vp counforth, loue, prayer or callyng vpon God, and life in the herte, as is written. Gall. 2. That I nowe liue, I lyue throughe the belefe in the sonne of God: And loue and counforth cānot be or abyde in the hert, yf this belefe and this truste go not before.
So that this is spoken without consideration in the book, ye we be first made righteous indeed through love, whereas yet this righteousness, that God is merciful unto us for the mediators sake, and that the mediator covereth & hideth our weakness, ought much more and highlyet to be looked to and esteemed, then our own love.
So that this is spoken without cōsideracion in the boke, ye we befirst made ryghtwesse indede throughe loue, wheras yet this rightwesnes, yt God is merciful vnto vs for ye mediatours sake, and that the mediatoure couereth & hideth our weaknes, ought moche more and highlyet to be loked to and esteamed, then our owne loue.
