For which cause saint Paul concludeth that where the law is understand & perceived of the best wise / there it doeth no more but utter sin / & bring us unto the knowledge of our selves / & thereby kill us & make us bond unto eternal damnation debtors of the everlasting wrath of God / even as he well feeleth & understandeth whose conscience is truly touched of the law. In such danger were we ere the law came / that we knew not what sin meant / nether yet know we the wrath of God upon sinners / till the law had uttered it. So seest thou that a man must have some other thing / yea & a greater & a more mighty thing then the law / to make him righteous & safe. They that understō de not the law on this wise / are blind & goo to work presumptuously / supposing to satisfy the law with works. For they know not that the law requireth a free / a willing / a lusty and a loving heart. Therefore they see not Moses right in the face / the vay•e hangeth between & hideth his face so that they can not behold the glory of his countenance / how that the law is spiritual & requireth the heart. ⟨image 235⟩I may of mine own strength refrain that I boo mine enemy no hurt / but to love him with all mine heart / & to put away wrath clean out of my mind can I not of mine own strength. I may refuse money of mine own strength / but to put away love unto riches out of mine heart can I not do of mine own strength. To abstain from adultery as concerning the outward deed can I do of mine own strength / but not to desire in mine heart is as unpossible unto me as is to chose whether I will hunger or thrust / and yet so the law requireth. Wherefore of a mans own strength is the law never fulfilled / we must have thereunto God's favour and his sprite / purchased by Christs blood.

For which cause saynt Paul concludeth that where the lawe is vnderstonde & perceaued of the beste wyse / there it doeth no moare but vtter synne / & bringe vs vnto the knowledge of oure selues / & therby kylle vs & make vs bonde vnto eternall damnacion •detters of the euerlastinge wrath of God / euē as he well fealeth & vnderstondeth whos consciēce is truely touched of the lawe. In suche daūger were we yer the lawe came / that we knewe not what synne mēte / nether yet knowe we the wrath of God apō synners / tyll the lawe had vttered it. So seest thou that a man must haue some other thinge / ye & a gretter & a moare myghty thinge then the lawe / to make him righteous & safe. They that vnderstō de not the lawe on this wyse / are blind & goo to worke presumptuously / supposinge to satisfie the lawe with workes. For they knowe not that the lawe requyreth a fre / a willinge / a lusty and a louinge herte. Therfore they se not Moses ryght in the face / the vaye hangeth betwene & hydeth his face so that they can not behold the glorye of his cotenace / how that the lawe is spirituall & requyreth the hert.
