The Philosophers do think that the righteousness of the end and means dependeth of humane reason or natural understanding, as though it were sufficient to put a difference between just things and unjust: but that we deny, and require fully faith and the word of God,1 as sure rules, which thing Augustine testifieth in many places, and especially upon the .xxxi. Psalm, where he saith: Do not count thy works good before faith, which are nothing else, then (as me thinketh) great strengths, and a most swift course out of the way, and he which so maketh haste, runneth headlong to destruction: Wherefore a good intent maketh a good action,2 but faith directeth the intent. Wherefore we must take heed, when we purpose any work, that our hart have a regard unto faith, whereby it may direct his endeavours.

Psalme, where he sayth: Doo not count thy woorkes good before faythe, whyche are nothyng els, then (as me thynketh) great strengthes, and a most swyft course out of the waye, and he which so maketh haste, runneth headlong to destruction: Wherefore a good intent maketh a good action,2 but fayth directeth the intent. Wherefore we must take heede, when we purpose any woorke, that our hart haue a regarde vnto fayth, whereby it may direct his endeuours.
