The third are spiritual and look Moses in the open face, & are (as Paul saith the second to the Romans) a law unto them selves & have the law written in their hearts by yt spirit of God. These need neither of king nor officers to drive them, neither that any man proffer them any reward for to keep the law. For they do it naturally.
The thyrd are spirituall and looke Moses in the open face, & are (as Paul sayth the secōd to the Romains) a law vnto them selues & haue the law written in their hartes by yt spirite of God. These neede neither of kyng nor officers to driue them, neither that any man profer thē any reward for to kepe the law. For they do it naturally.
The first work for fear of y• sword only. The second for reward. The third work for love freely. They look on the exceeding mercy, love & kinds which God hath showed them in Christ, and therefore love again and work freely. Heaven they take of the free gift of God through Christs deservings, and hope without all manner doubting 1that GOD according to his promise, will in this world also defend them and do all thing for them of his goodness and for Christs sake, and not for any goodness that is in them. They consent unto the law that it is holy and just, & that all men ought to do what soever God commandeth for no other cause, but because God commandeth it. And 2their great sorrow is, because that there is no strength in their members to do that which their hart lusteth to do and is a thirst to do.
The first worke for feare of y• sword onely. The second for reward. The thyrd worke for loue frely. They looke on the excedyng mercy, loue & kyndes which God hath shewed thē in Christ, and therfore loue agayne and woorke frely. Heauen they take of the free gift of God through Christes deseruyngs, and hope without all maner doubtyng
