The. xviij. Question.
What they think of faith, hope, and charity?
What they thinke of fayth, hope, and charitie?
The Answer.
The Answere.
Touching these three, being in deed the chief points of our Christian religion, I think very well and truly of them, even as the word of god hath taught. Faith is the sure confidence1 of a man that is lightened of God, whereby he trusteth in God and in his only son our Lord Jesus Christ and his undoubted word, and that to the remission of sins and eternal life. Hope is a steadfast, patient, and2 comfortable looking for of those things which we believe, chiefly if the receiving of them be deferred, and appear otherwise than they were believed to be.3 ⟨image 57⟩
