This do and thou shalt live Luc. x. that is to say / love thy lord God with all thy heart / with all thy soul / and with all thy strength / and with all thy mind / and thy neighbour as thy self. As who should say / if thou do this / or though thou canst not do it / yet if thou feelest lust there unto / & thy sprite sigheth morneth / and longeth after strength to do it / take a sign and evident token thereby that the sprite of life is in thee / and that thou art elect •o life everlasting by Christs blood / whose gift and purchase is thy faith and that sprite that worketh the will of God in the / whose gift also are thy deeds or rather the deeds of the spirit of Christ and not thine / and whose gift is the reward of eternal life which followeth good works.
