Jo. ⟨image 89⟩But thou mightest, sufficiently understand by the places afore alleged▪ that we be yet sinners still, after that we have known the truth, and that those sins, which we do daily commit as long, as we are in Christ •e daily forgiven unto us. For Christ sayeth, that his disciples, are all clean, but nevertheless that they have need to wash their feet. And again, the father doeth make clean the boughs, that do bring forth fruit in Christ. If they do bring forth fruit, they do bring forth fruit, in faith, and in the known truth (for without faith, it is impossible, that any man should please God, & what so ever is without faith, is sin and not fruit) If they be made clean, they have some filthiness ⟨image 90⟩in the known truth. Else they should be clean, and should need no cleansing or purging. But sith that they be made clean, the filthinesses that they do gather in bringing forth fruit, are forgiven and washed away. Neither Pelagius, nor Novatus, nor none of the Anabaptists, is able to withstand this verity.

Io. ⟨image 89⟩But thou mightest, sufficiently vnderstand by the places afore aledged▪ that we be yet sinners styll, after that we haue knowen the truthe, and that those sinnes, which we do daily commit as long, as we ar in Christ •e daily forgyuen vnto vs. For Chryste saieth, that his disciples, are all cleane, but neuerthelesse that thei haue neade to washe their fete. And again, the father dooeth make cleane the bowghes, that doo bring forth fruite in Christe. If thei dooe bryng forth fruit, thei do bring forth fruite, in faith, and in the knowen truthe (for without faith, it is impossible, that any man shulde please God, & what so euer is without faith, is sīne and not fruit) If thei be made cleane, thei haue some filthines ⟨image 90⟩in the knowen truthe. Els thei shulde be cleane, and shuld nede no clensynge or purgynge. But sith that thei be made clene, the filthinesses that thei do gather in bringyng forth fruit, ar forgeuen and washed awaie. Neither Pelagius, nor Nouatus, nor none of the Anababtistes, is able to withstand this veritee.
