Finally / if any man hath forsaken sin & is converted to put his trust in Christ & to keep the law of God / do the fall at a time: the cause is / that the flesh through negligence hath choked the sprite & oppressed her & taken from her the food of her strength. which food is her meditation in God & in his wonderful deeds / & in the manifold covenants of his mercy.
Finallie / if anye man hath forsaken synne & is cōuerted to put his trust in Christ & to kepe the lawe of God / do the fall at a tyme: the cause is / that the flesshe thorow neegligēce hath choked the sprite & oppressed hir & taken from hir the fode of hir strēgth. which fode is hir meditacion in God & in his wonderfull dedes / & in the manyfolde couenauntes of his mercie.
Wherefore then before all good works as ⟨p. ccvii⟩good fruits / there must needs be faith in the heart whence they spring. And before all bad deeds as bad fruits / there must needs be unbelief in the heart as in the rote / fountain / pith & strength of all sin. Which unbelief & ignorance is called the heed of the serpent & of the old dragon / which the woman's seed Christ / must tread under foot / as it was promised unto Adam.
Wherfore then before all good workes as ⟨p. ccvii⟩good frutes / there must nedes be fayth in the herte whence they spring. And before all bad dedes as bad frutes / there must nedes be vnbelefe in the hert as in the rote / foūtayne / pith & strēght of all synne. Which vnbelefe & ignoraūce is called the heed of the serpēt & of the olde dragon / which the womans seed Christ / must treade vnder fote / as it was promysed vnto Adam.
