For last of all followeth that, which expoundeth this repentance. Do the former works: To wit be hot again in love, work the works of faith, which are fruits worthy of repentance. Behold there needeth no new laws,1 or long disputations concerning amendment. Briefly, do the former works, not of the flesh, but those which thou beganst when thou first receivedst the Gospel, and wast borne again in Christ. Finally this is the true reformation, to do the former works of God. Not the latter, which the error of the world hath devised. This is verily, and shall be the true repentance, to wit, the acknowledging of the sin, the conversion unto God and to good, and a turning away from the Devil and from evil, and working of the first good, or Godly righteousness of the faith in Christ. There be many & sundry disputations of repentance and parts of the same, of the contrition of the heart, confession of the mouth, & satisfaction of yt work: But like as there is none briefer than this of Jesus Christ, so verily is there none better or more certain.
For last of all followeth that, whiche expoundeth this repentaunce. Do the fourmer workes: To witte be hote again in loue, worke the workes of faith, which are fruictes worthy of repentaunce. Beholde there nedeth no new lawes,1 or long disputations concerning amendement. Briefly, do the fourmer workes, not of the fleshe, but those whiche thou beganst when thou first receiuedst the Gospel, and wast borne again in Christ. Finally this is the true reformation, to do the fourmer workes of God. Not the latter, whiche the errour of the worlde hath deuised. This is verely, and shalbe the true repentaunce, to witte, the acknowledging of the sinne, the conuersion vnto God and to good, and a tourning away from the Deuill and from euill, and working of the first good, or Godly rightuousnes of the faith in Christ. There be many & sondry disputations of repentaunce and partes of the same, of the contrition of the harte, confession of the mouth, & satisfaction of yt worke: But lyke as there is none briefer thā this of Iesus Christ, so verely is ther none better or more certain.
