That faith the mother of all good works justifieth us before we ca[n] bring…That fayth the mother of all good workes iustifieth us before we ca[n] bringe…

Now if thou compare dead to dead there is difference betwixt / washing of dishes and preaching of the word of God. But as touching to please God none at all. For neither that nor this pleaseth / but as far forth as God hath chosen a man / hath put his sprite in him and purified his heart by faith and trust in Christ.

Now if thou cōpare deade to deade ther ys difference bitwixt / wasshinge of disches and preaching of ye worde of God. But as twitehinge to plaise God none at all. For nother yt nor this pleaseth / but as ferforth as God hath chosen a man / hath put his sprite in hī ād purifyed his hert by fayth and trust in Christe.

Let every man therefore wait on the office wherein Christ hath put him & therein serve his brethren. If he be of low degree let him patiently therein abide till God promote him & exalt him higher. Let kings & head officers seek Christ in there offices & minister peace & quietness ⟨image 50⟩unto the brethren / punish sin / & that with mercy / even with the same sorrow & grief of mind as they would cut of a finger or joint a leg or harm of there own body / if there were such disease in them / that ether they must be cut of or else all the body must perish.

Let every man therfore wayte on the offyce wherin Christ hath put him & therin serve his bretherne. If he be of lowe degre let him pacyently therein abide tyll God promote hī & exalte hym hier. Let kinges & hed officers seke Christe in ther offices & ministre peace & quietres ⟨image 50⟩vnto the bretherne / punnish sinne / & that with mercy / even with ye same sorowe & grefe of mīde as they wold cutt of a finger or ioynte a legge or harme of there own bodie / if there were soch dysease in thē / that ether they must be cutte of or else all the body must pereshe.
