Come ye blessed of my father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world. For I was a thirst and ye gave me drink. &c. Mat. xxv. Not that a man with works deserveth eternal life as a work man or labourer his hire or1 wages. Thou readest in the text that the kingdom was prepared for us from the begging of the world. And we are blessed and sanctified. In Christs blood are we blessed from that bitter cruse and damnable captivity under sin, where in we were borne and conceived. And Christs spirit is poured into us, to bring forth good works, and our works are the fruits of the spirit, and the kingdom is thr deserving of Christs blood, and so is faith and the spirit and good works also. Not withstanding the kingdom followeth good works, & good works testify that we are heirs thereof, and at the day of Judgement shall they testify for the elect unto their comfort and glory, ⟨image 35⟩And to the confusion of the ungodly unbelieving & faithless sinners, which had not trust in the word of God's promises nor lust to the will of God: but were carried of the spirit of their father the devil unto al ab hominaciō, to work wickedness with all lust delectation and greediness.
