chapter to the Romans, after that he hath declared the infinite love of God to us ward, in that he spared not his own son, but gave him for us, crieth out saying: who shall separate us from the love of God? shall persecution, shall a sword? &c. No, saith he, I am sure that no creature shall separate us from the love of God, that is, in Christ Jesus our Lord: as who should say, we see so great love in God to us ward in Christs death, that though all misfortune should fall on us, we can not but love again. Now how know we that God loveth us? verily by faith. So therefore, though Rochester 1be a beast faithless, yet ought natural reason to have taught him, that love springeth out of faith and knowledge: and not faith and knowledge out of love. But let us see the text. Paul saith thus. In Christ Jesus, neither circumcision is any thing worth, nor incircumcision: but faith which worketh through love, or which through love is strong or mighty in working, & not which is wrought by love, as the juggler saith. Faith that loveth Gods commandments justifieth a man. If thou believe gods promises in christ, and love his commandments, then art thou safe. If thou love the commandment, then art thou sure y• thy faith is unfeigned, & that gods spirit is in thee.
chapter to the Romaynes, after that he hath declared the infinite loue of God to vs ward, in that he spared not hys owne sonne, but gaue hym for vs, cryeth out saying: who shall separate vs from the loue of God? shall persecution, shall a sworde? &c. No, sayth he, I am sure that no creature shall separate vs from the loue of God, that is, in Christ Iesus our Lord: as who should say, we see so great loue in God to vs warde in Christes death, that though all misfortune should fall on vs, we can not but loue agayne. Now how know we that God loueth vs? verely by fayth. So therefore, though Rochester 1be a beast faythlesse, yet ought naturall reason to haue taught hym, that loue springeth out of fayth and knowledge: and not fayth and knowledge out of loue. But let vs see the text. Paule sayth thus. In Christ Iesu, neither circumcision is any thyng worth, nor incircumcision: but fayth which worketh thorow loue, or which thorow loue is strōg or mighty in working, & not which is wrought by loue, as the iuggler sayth. Faith that loueth Gods cōmaundemēts iustitieth a mā. If thou beleue gods promises in christ, and loue his commaūdementes, then art thou safe. If thou loue ye commaū demēt, then art thou sure y thy fayth is vnfained, & that gods spirit is in thee.
