But the true believers behold the law in her own likeness and see the impossibility 1thereof to be fulfilled with natural power, and therefore flee to Christ for mercy, grace, and power: and then of a very thankfulness for the mercy received, love the law in her own likeness, and submit themselves to learn it and to profit therein, and to do to morrow that they can not do to day.
But the true beleuers beholde the lawe in her owne likenes and see the impossibilitie 1thereof to be fulfilled wyth naturall power, and therefore flee to Christ for mercy, grace, and power: and then of a very thankfulnes for the mercy receaued, loue the lawe in her owne likenes, and submit thēselues to learne it and to profit therein, and to do to morow that they can not do to day.
- 1True faith to coupled with love to the law.True fayth to coupled with loue to the lawe.
Ye see also the difference of all manner of faiths. The faith of the true believers is, 1that God justifieth or forgiveth, and Christ deserveth it, and the faith or trust in Christs blood receiveth it, and certifieth the conscience thereof, and saveth and delivereth her from fear of death and damnation. And this is that we mean when we say, faith justifieth: that faith (I mean in Christ and not in our own works) certifieth the conscience that our sins are forgiven us for Christs blood's sake.
Ye see also the difference of all manner of faythes. The fayth of the true beleuers is, 1that God iustifieth or forgeueth, and Christ deserueth it, and the fayth or trust in Christes bloud receaueth it, and certifieth the cōscience thereof, and saueth and deliuereth her from feare of death and damnation. And this is that we meane when we say, fayth iustifieth: that fayth (I meane in Christ and not in our owne workes) certifieth the conscience that our sinnes are forgeuē vs for Christes bloudes sake.
