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,…

Now when Christ saith: Make you friends of unrighteous Mammon. Gather you treasure together in heaven and such like. Thou seest that the meaning and intent is no other, but that thou shouldest do good, & so will it follow of it self naturally, without seeking & taking of thought, that thou shalt find friends, and treasure in heaven, and receive a reward. So let thine eye be single, and look unto good living only, and take no thought for yt reward: But be content. For as much as thou knowest and art sure that the reward & all thing contained in gods promises, follow good living naturally: and thy good works do but testify only and certify thee, that the spirit of God is in thee, whom thou hast received in earnest of Gods truth, and that thou art heir of all the goodness of God, and that all good things are thine already, purchased by Christs ¹blood, and laid up in store against that day when every man shall receive according to his deeds, that is, according as his deeds declare and testify, what he is, or was. For they that look unto the reward, are slow, false, subtle and crafty workers, and love the reward more than the work, yea hate the labour, yea hate God which commaū death the labour, and are weary both of the commandment, and also of the commander, and work with tediousness. But he that worketh of pure love without seeking of reward, worketh truly.

Now when Christ sayth: Make you frendes of vnrighteous Mammon. Gather you treasure together in heauen and such like. Thou seest that the meanyng and entent is no other, but that thou shouldest do good, & so will it folow of it selfe naturally, without sekyng & takyng of thought, that thou shalt find frendes, and treasure in heauē, and receaue a reward. So let thyne eye be single, and looke vnto good lyuyng onely, and take no thought for yt reward: But be content. For as much as thou knowest and art sure that the reward & all thyng contained in gods promises, folow good liuyng naturally: and thy good workes do but testifie onely and certifie thee, that the spirite of God is in thee, whom thou hast receaued in earnest of Gods truth, and that thou art heyre of all the goodnes of God, and that all good thynges are thyne already, purchased by Christes ¹bloud, and layd vp in store against that day when euery man shall receaue according to his dedes, that is, according as his dedes declare and testifie, what he is, or was. For they that looke vnto the reward, are slow, false, suttle and crafty workers, and loue the reward more thē the worke, yea hate the labour, yea hate God which commaū deth the labour, and are wery both of the commaundement, and also of the commaunder, and worke with tediousnes. But he that worketh of pure loue without seekyng of reward, woorketh truly.
