wholy saynctes to make intercession for me? Fa. No surely, 

 yf thüu be a Christen man for a Christen man, as nere as he 

 canne endevereth hym silfe to folowe thc rule left vnto hym 

 Ko. xüij. for an instruction by Christ, that is wholy scripture. 

 which every where sayeth, that whatsoever is done with outen 

 j. Tim. ij. fayth is synne. sendynge vs vnto one Jesus Christ, 

 which alone is mediatoure bitwixte god and vs. Which with 

 outen ceasynge prayeth for my synnes, stablisseth my fayth, 

 and assuereth me of lyfe everlastynge. So. Why then prayest 

 thou eny more? Fat. Be cause the [fol. KV'.] lorde hath geven 

 ma. xxvj. me commaundement so for to do. Because also I cary 

 Luc.xj.xvüj. aboute with me the olde Adam, and feie in my silfe 

 the members of the lawe, which withstonde the lawe of my 

 Ro. vij. mynde. Insomoche that in me, (that is to saye in my 

 flesshe) I canne perceave no goodnes. Wherfore I praye that the

 howe to liope in god, nor yett to trust vnto his godly promeses. 

 Contrary wyse the godly by fragilite only of their flesshe and 

 that füll sore agaynst their will, havynge all wayes in theym 

 the seed [of] ' faythe whiche assuereth theym of the mercy of 

 god their father wherfore they cannot synne vnto death, nor 

 yet remayne in workes of dercknes. but causetii theym to beleve 

 that Christ is their brother end ^ thorowe his bloudde to be 

 Ro, viij. clensed from synne. So. Seynge a Christen manne maye 

 joan. vj. synne. howe shall I vnderstande Christis sayinge, he 

 that beleveth in me hath life [fol. IG''.) everlastynge. Where as 

 manifestly, he that synneth is ded? Fat. Through belefe we 

 have that lyfe, but not fully. and that by the reason of the 

 imperfection of oure belefe. Wherfore so farforthe synne we, 

 Joan. vj. and are ded as we lacke of oure belefe.. For god hath 

 included all thynge in vnbelefe, that he myght have mercy ou
