And on the other side they had set up 1a righteousness of holy works, to cleanse their souls with all: as the Pope sanctifieth us with holy oil, holy bread, holy salt, holy candles, holy dome, ceremonies, and holy dome blessings, & with whatsoever holiness thou wilt, •ave with the holiness of Gods word, which only speaketh unto the heart, and showeth the soul his filthiness, and uncleanness of sin, and leadeth her by the way of repentance unto the fountain of Christs blood, to wash it away through faith. By the reason of 2which false righteousness, they were disobedient unto the righteousness of god, which is the forgiveness of sin in Christs blood, and could not believe it. And so through fleshly interpreting the law, and false imagined righteousness, their hearts were hardened, and made as stony as clay, in an hot furnace of fire, that they could receive neither repentance nor faith, or any moisture of grace at all.
