1☞ Note again, the turks and lewes give alms as well as we & as much, and yet abominable for lack of faith and knowledge of the true intent. what saith the text, he that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall have the reward of a prophet. That is, because thou aidest him in preaching of Christs word, thou shalt be partaker with him & have the same reward, And he that receiveth a disciple in the name of a disciple, shall have &c. And he that giveth one of these little once but a cup of cold water for my name sake shall have his reward. If a king minister his kingdom in the faith of this name, because his subjects be his brethren and the price of Christs blood, he pleaseth God highly, and if this faith be not there / it pleaseth him not. And if I sow a shoe truly in the faith of his name, to do my brother service / because he is the price of Christs blood / as pleaseth God. Thus is faith the goodness of all works.

That is, because thou aydest him in preachyng of Christes worde, thou shalt be partaker with him & haue the same rewarde, And he that receaueth a disciple in the name of a disciple, shall haue &c. And he yt geueth one of these lytle ons but a cuppe of colde water for my name sake shal haue his rewarde. If a kyng minister his kyngedome ī the fayth of this name, because his subiectes be his brethren and the pryce of Christꝭ bloude, he pleaseth God hyghly, and yf this fayth be nat there / it pleaseth him nat. And yf I sowe a shue truly in the fayth of his name, to do my brother seruice / because he is the pryce of Christes bloude / as pleaseth God. Thus is fayth the goodnesse of all workes.
