If he preach & his heart no• ⟨image 49⟩right / yet mim•treth he the office that God hath put him in / and they that have the spirit of god hear the voice of God / ye though he speak in an Ass. More over how so ever he preacheth he hath not to rejoice / in that he preacheth. But & if he preach willingly / with a true heart and of conscience to God: then hath he his reward / that is / then feeleth he the earnest of eternal life and the working of the sprite of god in him. And as he feeleth Gods goodness and mercy / so be thou sure he feeleth his own infir mite / weakness and unworthiness / and morneth & knowledgeth his sin / in that the heart will not arise to work with that full lust and lone that is in Christ our lord. And nevertheless is yet at peace with God through faith and trust in Christ Jesus. For the earnest of the sprite that worketh in him testifieth & beareth witness unto his heart that God hath chosen him / & that his grace shall suffice him / which grace is now not idle in him. In his works putteth he no trust.
