Therefore take heed to thy self / and beware of thine own fantasies and imaginations / which to judge of faith and good works will seem wise / when in dead they are stark blind and of all things most foolish. Pray God that he will witesafe to work faith in thine heart / or else shalt thou remain evermore faithless / feign thou / imagine thou: enforce thou / wrestle with thy self / and do what thou wilt or canst.
Therfore take hede to thy silfe / and beware of thyne owne fantasies and ymaginacions / which to iudge of fayth and good workes will semewyse / when in deade they are sterke blind and of all thinges most folysshe. Praye God that he will witesafe to worke fayth in thyne herte / or else shalt thou remayne euermore faythlesse / fayne thou / ymagin thou: enforce thou / wrastyll with thy selfe / and do what thou wilte or canst.
Righteousness is even such faith / & is called God's righteousness / or righteousness that▪ is of valour before God. For it is God's gift / & it altereth a man & changeth him to a new spiritual1 nature / & maketh him free & liberal to pay every man his duty. For through faith is a man purged of his since / & obtaineth lust unto the law of God / whereby he giveth God his honour & payeth him that he oweth him / & unto men he doeth seruis willingly wherwithsoever he can / & payeth every man his duty. •uthe righteousness can nature / freewill / and our own strength never bring to pass. For as no man can give him self faith / so can he not take away unbelief / how then can he take away any sin at all. Wherefore all is false hypocrisy and sin / whatsoever is done with out faith or in unbelief / as it is evident in the. xiiij Chapter unto the Romans / though it appear never so glorious or beautiful outwards.
Righteousnes is euē suche faith / & is called Godes righteousnes / or righteousnes that▪ is of valoure before God. For it is Goddis gifte / & it altereth a man & chaūgeth him to a newe sprituall
