Now is the spirit none otherwise given, then by faith only, in that we believe the promises of God, without wavering how that God is true, and will fulfil all his good promises toward us for Christs blondes sake, as it is plain in the first Chapter, I am not ashamed, saith Paul, of Christs 1glad tidings, for it is the power of GOD unto salvation to as many as believe, for at once and together even as we believe the glad tidings preached to us, the holy ghost entereth into our hearts, and looseth the bonds of the devil, which before possessed our hearts in captivity, and held them that we could have no lust to yt will of God in the law, and as the spirit cometh by faith only, even so faith cometh by hearing the word, or glad tidings of God, when Christ is preached how that he is Gods son and man also, dead and risen again for our sakes, as 2he saith in the third, fourth, and tenth Chapters. All our justifying then cometh of faith, and faith and the spirit come of God, and not of us.
