Faith is not mans opinion and dream, as some imagine and feign, 1when they hear the story of the Gospel: but when they see that there follow no good works, nor amendment of living, though they hear, yea, & can babble many things of faith, then they fall from the right way, and say, faith only justifieth not, a man must have good works also, if he will be righteous and safe. The cause is when they hear the gospel or glad tidings, they feign of their own strength certain imaginations and thoughts in their hearts, saying: I have heard the gospel, 2I remember the story, lo, I believe, and that they count right faith, which nevertheless as it is but mans imagination and feigning, even so profiteth it not, neither follow there any good works, or amendment of living.
Faythe is not mans opinion and dreame, as some imagine and fayne, 1when they heare the story of the Gospell: but when they see that there follow no good workes, nor amendment of liuyng, though they heare, ye, & can bable many thyngs of fayth, then they fall from the right way, and say, fayth onely iustifieth not, a man must haue good workes also, if he will be righteous and safe. The cause is when they heare the gospell or glad tidinges, they fayne of their owne strength certaine imaginations and thoughtes in their hartes, saying: I haue heard the gospell, 2I remember the story, loe, I beleue, and that they counte right fayth, which neuerthelesse as it is but mans imagination and faining, euen so profiteth it not, neither followe there any good workes, or amendmēt of liuing.
