On this wise Paul also Roma. v. likeneth Adam & Christ together, saying that Adam was a figure of Christ. And yet of Adam have we but pure sin, and of Christ grace only, which are out of measure contrary. But the similitude or likeness standeth in the original birth, and not in the virtue, & vice of the birth. So that as Adam is father of all sin, so is Christ father of all righteousness. And as all sinners spring of Adam: Even so all righteous 1men and women spring of Christ. After the same manner is here the unrighteous steward an ensample unto us, in his wisdom and diligence only, in that he provided so wisely for him self, that we with righteousness should be as diligent to provide for our souls, as he with unrighteousness provided for his body.

Likewise mayst thou soil all other texts which sound as though it were between us and GOD, as it is in the world where the reward is more looked upon, then the labour: yea, where men hate the labour, and work falsely with the body, and not with the hart, and no longer then they are looked upon, that the labour may appear outward only.
