But they use to object the Midwives of the Hebrews,1 which although they lied, yet God rewarded them: The same also happened to Rahab the Harlot, or a table keeper. Augustine answereth, that in the Midwives the lye pleased not the Lord, but the faith and fear which they had towards God, and the mercy which they showed unto the Israelites. And the same doth the holy history by express words testify. And no otherwise must we think of Rahab. 2But Gregory's opinion I never like, who saith, that for the lye which they made, their eternal reward was turned into a temporal reward, because for the celestial blessedness it is said that God builded them houses. But I judge, that by reason of the true faith, which was strong in them, so that it brought forth love and the fear of God, which are just and lawful fruits thereof, although of infirmity they lied, yet were not they therefore bereaved of eternal felicity.

But I iudge, that by reason of the true faith, which was strong in them, so that it brought foorth loue and the feare of God, which are iust and lawful fruites thereof, although of infirmity they lyed, yet were not they therefore bereued of eternal felicity.
