Now is also required obedience of the ministers,1 that they obey the commandment of God: and that they crave and receive, that which they are commanded to axe and receive. In vain do some look for a drawing and working of salvation outwardly, and with out then to be finished, through the only invisible operation of God. If God will have me blessed and just, say they, let him work in me what he will. Moreover they themselves are not careful, how they should apply themselves to the grace of God working by grace. Against their ungodliness is it, that we hear now, how S. John applieth him self to the commandments of God, not without grace. For he goeth to the Angel and sayeth, give me the book. For the Lord must be prayed: we must read diligently, as S. Paul also commandeth: we must learn, and obey the commandments of God,2 and not tarry till God without us do draw us.

Yf God will haue me blessed and iuste, saye they, let him worke in me what he wil. Moreouer they themselues are not careful, how they should applie themselues to the grace of God workyng by grace. Agaynst their vngodlines is it, that we heare now, howe S. Iohn applieth him self to the cōmaundementes of God, not without grace. For he goeth to the Aungell and sayeth, geue me the boke. For the Lord must be prayed: we must reade diligently, as S. Paul also cōmaundeth: we muste learne, and obeye the commaundementes of God,2 and not tary til God without vs do drawe vs.
