And by justifying / understand none other thing then to be reconciled to God and to be restored unto his favour / & to have thy since forgiven thee. As when I say God justifieth us / understand thereby / that God for Christs sake / merits and deservings only receiveth us unto his mercy / favour and grace / and forgiveth us our since. And when I say Christ justifieth us / understand thereby that Christ only hath redeemed us / bought and delivered us out of the wrath of God and damnation / & hath with his works only / purchased us the mercy the favour and grace of God / and the forgiveness of our since. And when I say that faith only justifieth / understand thereby that faith and trust in the truth of God and in the mercy promised us for Christs sake / and for his deserving and works only / doth quiet the conscience and certify her that our since ⟨image 240⟩be forgiven and we in the full favour of God.
And by iustifyinge / vnderstonde none other thinge then to be reconciled to God and to be restored vnto his fauoure / & to haue thy synnes forgeuē the. As when I saye God iustifieth vs / vnderstōde therby / that God for Christes sake / merites and deseruinges only receaueth vs vnto his mercie / fauoure and grace / and forgeueth vs oure synnes. And when I saye Christ iustifieth vs / vnderstonde therby that Christ onlye hath redemed vs / bought and delyuered vs oute of the wrath of God and damnacion / & hath with his workes onlye / purchased vs the mercie the fauoure and grace of God / and the forgeuenes of oure synnes. And when I saye that fayth onlye iustifieth / vnderstonde therby that fayth and trust in the truthe of God and in the mercye promysed vs for Christes sake / and for his deseruinge and workes onlye / doth quyet the conscience and certifie hir that oure synnes ⟨image 240⟩be forgeuen and we in the full fauoure of God.
Furthermore / set before thine eyes Christs works and thine own works. Christs works only justifieth and make satisfaction for thy sin / and thine own works not: that is to say / quieteth thy conscience and make the sure that thy since are forgiven thee / and not thine own works. For the promise of mercy is made thee for Christs works sake / and not for thine own works sake. Wherefore seeing God hath not promised that thine own works shall save the / therefore faith in thine own works can never quiet thy conscience nor certify the before God (When god cometh to judge and to take a reckoning) that thy since are for given thee. Beyond all this / mine own works can never satisfy the law or pay her that I owe her. For I owe the law to love her with all mine heart / soul / power & might. Which thing to pay I am never able while I am con passed with flesh. No / I cannot once begin to love the law / except I be first sure by faith that God loveth me and forgiveth me.
