He that hath not the spirit hath no feeling, neither lusteth or longeth after power to fulfil the law, neither abhorreth the pleasures of sin, neither hath any more certainty of the promises of God, than I have of a tale of Robin Hood, or of some jest that a man telleth me was done at Rome. An other man may lightly make me doubt, or believe the contrary, seeing I have no experience thereof my self. So is it of them that feel not the working of the spirit, & therefore in time of temptation the buildings of their imaginations fall.

An other man may lightly make me doubt, or beleue the contrary, seyng I haue no experience therof my selfe.

Math. x. He that receiveth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, that is, because he is a Prophet, shall receive the reward of a Prophet, & he that giveth one of these little ones a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a Disciple, shall not lose his reward. Note this that a Prophet signifieth as 1well him that interpreteth the hard places of Scripture, as him that prophesieth things to come. Now he that receiveth a Prophet, a just man, or a Disciple, shall have the same, or like reward, that is to say, shall have the same eternal life, which is appointed for them in Christs blood, & merits. For except thou were elect to yt same eternal life, & haddest the same faith and trust in God, and the same spirit, thou couldest never consent to their deeds and help them. But thy deeds testify what thou art, & certify thy conscience that thou art received to mercy, and sanctified in Christs passions and sufferings, and shalt hereafter with all them that follow God, receive the reward of eternal life.
