The old faith an evident probation out of the holy scripture, that the christen faith (which is the right, true, old and undoubted faith) hath endured since the beginning of the world. Herein hast thou also a short sum of the whole Bible, and a probation, that all virtuous men have pleased God, and were saved through the Christen faith. 1547. Myles Coverdale.The olde fayth an euident probacion out of the holy scripture, that the christen fayth (whiche is the right, true, old and vndoubted fayth) hath endured sens the beginnyng of the worlde.

Howe would holy saint James reprove these bringers up of strange doctrines, blasphemers, backbiters, belyers of1 good men, false teachers against God's truth, dissemblers with the same, carry fire (as they say) with the one hand, and water in the other: pretend to be learned, and ⟨image 6⟩yet bring not forth the works of good conversation in meekness out of God's wisdom, but in fro wardnes, and out of carnal doctrine. Howe would he take up these, that delight in malice and strife, belie God's trueth, are given to earthy, fleshly and devilish wisdom, are unstable, full of all evil works, are not in the school of Gods wisdom and learning, are not given to unfeignedness of heart, are not peaceable, are churlish, uneasy to be entreated. &c. Read the third chapter of his Epistle.
