Joia. Faith and works are almost so one thing, as the godhead, and manhood, are one person in Christ. And yet it followed not that the godhead is mortal, because that Christ dyed in very deed upon the cross. Yet notwithstanding, it is all one person. which can not be divided. So we may speak in this busyness. Faith justifieth. Here faith is taken, for the election, and grace of God, and also for the redemption, which is not ascribed to our own works, though they can not be separated ⟨image 102⟩from faith, and which following most certainly of faith, are very sure & undoubted signs & tokens of faith and election of god. For so Paul doeth speak: Whom he hath predestinated, them did he chose, whom he hath chosen, them did he call, whom he hath called, them did he justify. And John also: We know, that when he shall appear, we shall be like unto him, and every man that hath this hope, doth make him self clean, as he is pure .i. Jo. iii. In one sun, there is both light and heat, and the one is not from the other. Yet notwithstanding the lighting or illumination, is attributed to the light, and not to the heat, and the heating or warmness, is ascribed to the heat, and not ⟨image 102⟩to the light.
Ioia. Faith and woorkes are almost so one thynge, as the godhed, and manhead, are one persone in Christe. And yet it folowed not that the godhed is mortal, because that Christ dyed in very dede vpon the crosse. Yet notwithstandyng, it is all one persone. whyche can not be diuided. So we maie speake in this busynesse. Faith iustifieth. Here faith is taken, for the election, and grace of God, and also for the redempcion, whiche is not adscribed to our owne workes, though thei can not be separated ⟨image 102⟩from faith, and which folowyng most certainly of faithe, are very sure & vndoubted signes & tokens of faith and election of god. For so Paul doeth speake: Whom he hath predestinated, them dydde he chose, whom he hath chosen, them did he call, whome he hath called, them dyd he iustify. And Iohn also: We knowe, that when he shall appere, we shall bee lyke vnto hym, and euery man that hath this hope, doth make him selfe cleane, as he is pure .
