Gather not treasure together in earth. &c. Math. vj. But gather you 1treasure in heaven. &c. Let not you• hearts be glued to worldly things, study not to heap treasure upon treasure, and riches upon riches, but study to bestow well that which is gotten already, and let your abundance succour the lack, and need of the power which have not. Have an eye to good 2works, to which if ye have lust, and also power to do them, then are ye sure that the spirit of God is in you, and ⟨p. 75⟩ye in Christ elect to the reward of eternal life which followeth good works. But look that thine eye be single and rob not Christ of his honour, ascribe not that to yt deserving of thy works, which is given the freely by the merits of his blood. In Christ we are sons. In Christ we are heirs. In Christ god chose us and elected us before 3the beginning of the world, created us a new by the word of the Gospel, and put his spirit in us, for because we should do good works. A Christen man worketh because it is the will of his father only. If we do no good work, nor be merciful, how is our lust therein? If we have no lust to do good works, how is Gods spirit in us? If the spirit of God be not in us, how are we his sons? How are we his heirs, & heirs annexed with Christ of the eternal life, which is promised to all them that believe in him? Now do our works testify and witness what we are, and what treasure is laid up for us in heaven, so that our 4eye be single, and look upon the commandment without respect of any thing, save because it is Gods will, and that God desireth it of us, and Christ hath deserved that we do it.
