- 1These words of Tyndale sufficiently discharge the article of all heresy, if they be well weighed. The meaning whereof is this, that all our acceptation with God standeth only upon our faith in Christ, and upon no work nor office. Whereby Cornelius the Tanner believing in Christ, is as well justified before God, as the Apostle or preacher: So that there is no rejoicing now neither in work nor office, but only in our faith in Christ, which only justifieth us before God▪ Rom. 8.These wordes of Tindall sufficiētly discharge the article of al heresy, if they be well wayed.
