Righteousness is even such faith, 1and is called Gods righteousness, or righteousness that is of value before God. For it is gods gift, and it altereth a man, and changeth him into a new spiritual nature, and maketh him free and liberal, to pay every man his duty. For through faith a man is purged of his sins, and obtaineth lust unto the law of God, whereby he giveth God his honour, and payeth him that he oweth him, and unto men he doth service willingly, wherewith soever he can, and payeth every man his duty. Such righteousness can nature, freewill, and our own strength never bring to pass: for as no man can give himself faith, so can he not take away unbelief, how then can he take away any sin at all? Wherefore all is false hypocrisy & sin, whatsoever is done without faith, or in unbelief, as it is evident in the 14. chapter unto the Romans, though it appear never so glorious, or beautiful outwards.
Righteousnes is euen such faythe, 1and is called Gods righteousnesse, or righteousnes that is of value before God. For it is gods gift, and it altereth a man, and chaungeth him into a new spiritual nature, and maketh him free and liberall, to pay euery man his duety. For through fayth a mā is purged of his sinnes, and obteyneth luste vnto the law of God, whereby he geueth God hys honor, and payeth hym that he oweth hym, and vnto men he doth seruice willingly, wherwith soeuer he can, and payeth euery man his duety. Such righteousnes can nature, freewill, and our owne strength neuer bring to passe: for as no man can geue himselfe faith, so can he not take away vnbeliefe, how then can he take away any sinne at all? Wherefore all is false hipocrisie & sinne, whatsoeuer is done without fayth, or in vnbeliefe, as it is euident in the 14. chapter vnto the Romains, though it appeare neuer so glorious, or beautiful outwardes.
