¶Of faith.

¶Of fayth.

First dear brethren ye ought to give diligent heed that you may purely understand what faith is and what fruits proceed out of her / And to conclude the sum in few words / faith is a sure persuasion & full knowledge that God for his truth and righteousness sake will fulfil such promises / as he hath made unto us of his mercy and savour / which sure persuasion must be given from god .i. Corin. xij. For it can neither be given by mans power / nether yet retained. Therefore with fear and trembling perform that health which is begun in you / for it is God that worketh in you both the will and also the deed / even at his own pleasure. And see that ⟨image 136⟩with all meekness ye submit your selves unto the vocation of god / not seeking the liberty of the flesh / nether yet despising good works / for faith doth mortify the flesh and her works / and the spirit of god which resteth in a faithful man helpeth our infirmity and sighteth with out intermission against sin / the devil and the world.

Corin. xij. For it can nother be goien by mannes power / nether yet retayned. Therfore with feare and tremblinge performe that helth which is begōne in you / for it is God that worketh in you both the wyll and also the deed / euē at his awne pleasure. And se that ⟨image 136⟩
