For all men are naturally inclined unto evil and hate the law. We find in our selves unlust and tediousness to do good / but lust and delectation to do evil. Now where no free lust ⟨image 224⟩is to do good / there the bottom of the heart fulfilleth not the law / and there no doubt is also sin / & wrath is deserved before God / though there be never so great an outward show and appearance of honest living.
For all mē are naturally enclyned vnto euyll and hate the lawe. We fynde in oure selues vnlust and tediousnes to do good / but lust and delectacyon to do euyll. Nowe where no fre lust ⟨image 224⟩is to do good / there the botome of the hert fulfilleth not the lawe / and there no doute is also synne / & wrath is deserued before God / though there be neuer so grete an outwarde shewe and apearaunce of honeste lyuinge.
For this cause concludeth saint Paul in the second Chapter / that the Jews are all sinners & transgressors of the law / though they make men believe / through hypocrisy of outward works / how that they fulfil the law / and saith that he only which doeth the law / is righteous before God / meaning thereby that no man with outward works / fulfilleth the law.
For this cause concludeth saynte Paul in the seconde Chapter / that the Iewes are all synners & transgressors of the lawe / though they make men beleue / thorowe ypocrisy of outwarde workes / howe that they fulfyll the lawe / and sayth that he only which doeth the lawe / is ryghteous before God / meanynge therby that no man with outwarde workes / fulfilleth the lawe.
