The Parable of the Wicked Mammon

As pertaining to good works, understand that all works are good which are¹ done with in the law of God in faith and with thanks giving to God, and understand that thou in doing them pleasest God, what so ever thou doest with in that law of God, as when thou makest water. And trust me if other wind or water were stopped thou shouldest feel what a precious thing it were to do ether of both, and what thanks ought to be given to God therefore. More over put no difference between works, but what so ever cometh in to thy hands that do as time, place and occasion giveth, and as God hath put the in degree high or low.

And trust me if other wind or wa ter were stopped yu shouldeste feale what a preciouse thinge it were to do ether of both, and what thankes oughte to be geuē to God therefore. More ouer put no difference betwene workes, but what so euer cometh in to thy handes that do as tyme, place and occasion geueth, and as God hath put the in degre hye or lowe.

1. 1Alworkes ye be done in faith are good.Alworkes ye be done in faithe are good.

For as touching to please God, there is no work better then an other. God looketh not first on thy work as the world doeth, as though the beautifulness of the work pleased him, as it doeth the world ⟨image 49⟩or as though he had need of them. But God looketh first on thy heart, what faith thou hast to his words, how thou believest him, trustest him and how thou lovest him for his mercy that he hath showed thee, he looketh with what heart thou workest, and not what thou workest, how thou acceptest the degree that he hath put the in and not of what degree thou art, whether thou be an Apostle or a show maker.
