To fulfil the law is / to do the works thereof1 & what soever the law commandeth / with love / lust & inward affection & delectation: and to live godly & well / freely / willingly / and with out compulsion of the law / even as though there were no law at all. Such lust & free liberty to love the law / cometh only by the working of the sprite in the heart / as he saith in the first Chapter.
To fulfill the lawe is / to do the workes therof1 & what soeuer the lawe commaundeth / with loue / lust & inward affeccion & delectacion: and to lyue godly & well / frely / willingly / and with oute compulcion of the lawe / euen as though there were no lawe at all. Suche luste & fre liberte to loue the lawe / cometh only by the workinge of the sprite in the herte / as he saith in the fyrste Chapter.
- 1To fulfil the law what it is.To fullfill the lawe what it is.
Now is the sprite none otherwise given / then by faith only / in that we believe the promises of God / with out wavering / how that God is true / & will fulfil all his good promises toward1 us / for Christs blood's sake / as it is plain in the first chapter. I am not ashamed sayeth Paul / of Christs glad tidings / for it is the power of God / unto salvation to as many as believe. For at once & to gather▪ even as we believe the glad tidings preached to us / the holy ghost entereth in to our hearts / & looseth the bonds of the devil / which before possessed2 our hearts in captivity / & held them that we could have no lust to the will of God in the law. And as the sprite cometh by faith only / even so faith cometh by hearing the word or glad tidings of God / when Christ is preached / how that he is God's son & man also / dead & risen again for our sakes / as he sayeth in the .iii. iii. & .x. Chapters. All our justifying then cometh of faith / and faith and the sprite come of God and not of us.
