Seven treatises containing such direction as is gathered out of the Holy Scriptures, leading and guiding to true happiness, both in this life, and in the life to come: and may be called the practise of Christianity. Profitable for all such as heartily desire the same: in the which, more particularly true Christians may learn how to lead a godly and comfortable life every day.

16. Others are presumptuous, who through self love persuade themselves that they do believe, and yet keep some one sin, or many in their hearts, which they will not renounce; contenting themselves to think they have faith,2 when they have it not; and so never seek for the truth and power thereof. As, they would follow Christ, but first they would go bury their father.
