¹In the faith which we have in Christ, & in Gods promises, find we mercy, life, favour, & peace. In the law we find death, damnation and wrath, moreover the curse and vengeance of God upon us. And it (that is to say, the law) is called of Paul, the ministration of death and damnation. In the law we are proved to be the enemies of God, and that we hate him. For how can we be at peace with God, and love him, seeing we are conceived and borne under the power of the Devil, and are his possession & kingdom, his captives and bondmen, and led at his will, and he holdeth our hearts, so that it is impossible for us to consent to the will of God? Much more is it impossible for a man to fulfil the law of his own strength and power, seeing that we are by birth and nature the heirs of the eternal damnation. &c.

The place is this: the spirit of God accompanieth faith and bringeth with her light, wherewith a man beholdeth himself in the law of God, and seeth his miserable bond dage & captivity, and humbleth himself,¹ & abhorreth himself. She bringeth Gods promises of all good things in Christ: God worketh with his word, & in his word. And as his word is preached, faith rooteth her self in the harts of the elect: and as faith entereth: and the word of God is believed, the power of God looseth the hart from the captivity & bondage under sin: and knitteth & coupleth him to God & to the will of God, altereth him & changeth him clean, fashioneth and forgeth him a new, giveth him power to love and to do that which before was impossible for him either to love or do, and turneth him into a new nature: so that he loveth that which before he hated, & hateth that which he before loved, and is clean altered and changed, and contrary disposed: and is knit and coupled fast to gods will, and naturally bringeth fourth good works: that is to say, that which God commandeth to do, & not things of his own imagination: and that doth he of his own accord, as a tree bringeth forth fruit of his own accord. &c.

If Tyndale say,¹ that works do only declare our justification, he doth not thereby destroy good works: but only showeth the right use and office of good works: to be noted to merit our justification, but rather to testify a lively faith, which only justifieth us, The article is plain by the scripture, and S. Paul.

If Tindall say,¹ that workes doe onely declare our iustification, he doth not thereby destroy good works: but onely sheweth the right vse and office of good workes: to be noted to merite our iustificatiō, but rather to testify a liuely fayth, which onely iustifieth vs, The article is playn by the scripture, and S.

Free have you received, free give again. For look as Christ with all his works did not ²deserve heaven (for that was his already) but did us service therewith, & neither looked for, nor sought his own profit, but ours and the honour of god his father only: even so we withal our works, may not seek our own profit, neither in this world, nor in heaven, but must and ought freely to work to honour God withal, and without all manner of respect, seek our neighbours profit, and do him service. &c.
