If you say: seeing faith, love, and hope be three virtues inseparable. Ergo faith only justifieth not. I answer: though they be inseparable, yet they have separable and sundry offices, as it is above said of the law & faith. Faith only which is a sure •nd an 1undoubted trust in Christ, and in the father through him, certifieth the conscience that the sin is forgiven and the damnation and impossibility of the law taken away (as it is above rehearsed in the conditions of the covenant.) And with such persuasions mollifieth the hart and maketh her love God again and his law.
If you say: seyng fayth, loue, and hope be three vertues inseperable. Ergo fayth onely iustifieth not. I answere: though they be inseperable, yet they haue seperable and sundry offices, as it is aboue sayd of the lawe & fayth. Fayth onely which is a sure •nd an 1vndoubted trust in Christ, and in the father thorow hym, certifieth the conscience that the sinne is forgeuen and the dampnation and impossibilitie of the lawe taken away (as it is aboue rehearsed in the conditions of the couenaunt.) And wyth such perswasions mollesieth the hart and maketh her loue God agayne and his lawe.
