Again in the same 5. chapter, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do well to them that hate you, and persecute you, that ye may be the sons of your father which is in heaven. For he maketh his sun shine upon evil, & on good, and sendeth his rain upon just and unjust. Not that our works make us the sons of God, but testify only, and certify our consciences, that we are the sons of God, and that God hath chosen us, & washed us in christs blood, and hath put his spirit in us. And it followeth, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? do not the Publicans even the same? and if ye shall have favour to your friends only, what singular thing do ye? do not the Publicans even the same? ye shall be perfect therefore, as your father which is in heaven is perfect. That is to say, if that ye do nothing but that the world doth, and they which have the spirit of the world, whereby shall ye know that ye are the sons of God, and beloved of God more then the world? But and if ye counterfeit, and follow God in well 1doing, then no doubt it is a sign that the spirit of God is in you, and also the favour of God, which is not in the world, and that ye are inheritors of all the promises of God, and elect unto the fellowship of the blood of Christ
AGayn in the same 5. chapter, loue your ennemies, blesse them that curse you, doe well to them that hate you, and persecute you, that ye may be the sonnes of your father whiche is in heauē. For he maketh his sunne shine vpon euill, & on good, and sendeth his rayne vpon iust and vniust. Not that our woorkes make vs the sonnes of God, but testifie onely, and certifie our consciences, that we are the sonnes of God, and that God hath chosen vs, & washed vs in christes bloud, and hath put his spirite in vs. And it foloweth, if ye loue them that loue you, what reward haue ye? do not the Publicanes euen the same? and if ye shall haue fauour to your frendes onely, what singuler thing do ye? doe not the Publicanes euen the same? ye shalbe perfect therefore, as your father whiche is in heauen is perfect. That is to say, if that ye do nothing but that the world doth, and they which haue the spirite of the world, wherby shall ye know that ye are the sonnes of God, and beloued of God more then the world? But and if ye counterfet, and follow God in well 1doyng, then no doubt it is a signe that the spirite of God is in you, and also the fauour of God, which is not in the world, and that ye are inheritoures of all the promises of God, and elect vnto the fellowship of the bloud of Christ
