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.
