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,…

But thou reader, think of the law of god, how that it is altogether spiritual, and so spiritual, that it is never fulfilled with deeds or works, until they flow out of thine heart, with as great love toward thine neighbour, for no deserving of his (yea though he be thine enemy) as Christ loved thee, and dyed for thee, for no deserving of thine, but even when thou wast his enemy. And in the mean time, through out all our infancy, and childhood in Christ, till we be grown up into perfect men, in the full knowledge of Christ, and full love of Christ again, and of our neighbours for his sake, after the ensample of his love to us, remembering that the fulfilling of the law, is a fast faith in Christs blood coupled with our profession, & submit our selves to do better.

But thou reader, thynke of the law of god, how that it is altogether spirituall, and so spirituall, that it is neuer fulfilled wyth dedes or works, vntill they flowe out of thyne harte, wyth as great loue towarde thyne neighbour, for no deseruyng of his (yea thoughe he bee thyne ennemy) as Christ loued thee, and dyed for thee, for no deseruyng of thyne, but euen when thou wast hys ennemy. And in the meane tyme, through out all our infantie, and childhoode in Christ, till we be grown vp into perfect men, in the full knowledge of Chrst, and full loue of Christ agayne, and of our neighbours for hys sake, after the ensample of hys loue to vs, remēbring that the fulfillyng of the law, is a fast fayth in Christes bloude coupled with our profession, & submit ous selues to do better.

And of the gospel or promises which thou meetest in the scripture, believe fast that god will fulfil them unto thee, & that unto the uttermost jot, at the repentance of thine hart, when thou turnest to him and forsakest evil, even of his goodness, and fatherly mercy unto thee, and not for thy flattering him with hipocritishe works of thine own feigning. So that a fast faith only, without respect of all works, is the forgiveness both of the sin, which we did in time of ignorance, with lust and consent to sin: and also of that sin which we do by chance, and of frailty: after that we are come to knowledge, and have professed the law out of our hearts. And all deeds serve only for to help our neighbours, and to tame our flesh that we fall not to sin again, and to exercise our souls in virtue, and not to make satisfaction to Godward for the sin that is once paste.
