Note this also: first my craft is Gods commandment. Secondarily I believe & am sure that my work pleaseth God for Christs sake. Thirdly my work is profitable unto my neighbour, and helpeth his necessity. Fourthly I receive my reward of the hand of God with thanks, and work, surely certified that I please God in my work thorough Christ, and that God will give me my daily bread thereby.

Note again, the Turks & Jews 1give alms aswell as we, & as much, & yet abominable for lack of faith & knowledge of the true intent. What saith the text: he y• receiveth a prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall have the reward of a Prophet. That is, because thou aidest him in preaching of of Christs word, thou shalt be partaker with him & have the same reward. And he that receiveth a Disciple in the name of a disciple, shall have &c. And he that giveth one of these little once but a cup of cold water for my names sake, shall have his reward. If a king minister his kingdom in the faith of this name, because his subjects be his brethren and the price of Christs blood, he pleaseth God highly: and if this faith be not there, it pleaseth him not. And if I sow a shoe truly in the faith of his name, to do my brother service, because he is the price of Christs blood: it pleaseth God. Thus is faith the goodness of all works.
