The whole works of W. Tyndall, John Frith, and Doct. Barnes, three worthy martyrs,…The vvhole workes of W. Tyndall, Iohn Frith, and Doct. Barnes, three worthy martyrs,…

And of that power they work, so that he which hath the spirit of Christ, is now no more a child: he neither learneth, nor worketh any longer for pain of yt rod, or for fear of bugs or pleasure of apples, but doth all things of his own courage. As Christ sayeth. John. vij. He that believeth on me, shall have rivers of living waters flowing out of his belly. That is all good works, and all gifts of grace spring out of ¹him naturally, and by their own accord. Thou needest not to wrest good works out of him, as a man would wring verjuice out of crabs. Nay they flow naturally out of him, as springs out of rocks.

As Christe sayeth. Iohn. vij. He that beleueth on me, shall haue riuers of liuyng waters flowyng out of hys belly. That is all good workes, and all giftes of grace sprynge out of ¹hym naturally, and by their owne accord. Thou nedest not to wrest good woorkes out of hym, as a man would wryng veriuce out of crabbes. Nay they flowe naturally out of hym, as sprynges out of rockes.
