I am the waye (saithe he) the truthe and the lyfe: Yet he not
being content wyth this so playn a doctryne doth adde agayne the
exclusyue and saithe / No mã commith to the father but by me.
Wherfor Peter thought it not inoughe that he sayde in that full
senate of Hierusalem / That Christe is that Rocke which doth by
his dethe and resurrection establishe and preserue the
beleauers /
[[Act. 4.]]
onles moreouer he had Vindicated to Christ alone all thinges
that concerne saluaciõ / and taken the same awaye from others /
saying. Neither is there saluacion in ony other: For among men
vnder heauen ther is gyuen none other name wherin we must be
saued. After which manier likewise saĩt Paul doth proue that
[[Roma. 3.]]
faith in Christ through grace doth iustifie / neither doth he
saye this only /
[[Ephe. 2.]]
but he doth also remoue all that which might seeme to gyue
iustice vnto men / the lawe I meane and worckes / sayinge. We
knowe that a man is not iustified by the dedes of the lawe /
[[Gala. 2.]]
but by the faith of Iesus Christe. And we haue beleued on Iesus
Christ that we might be iustified by the faythe of Christe / and
not by the dedes of the lawe / bicause that by the dedes of the
lawe no fleshe shalbe iustified. And in an other place the same
Paule: Behold (saith he) I Paul saye vnto yowe /
[[Gala 5.]]
that if ye be circũcised / Christe shall profite yow nothing at
all. I testifie agayn to euery man which is circumcised / that
he is bownd to keape the whole lawe. Christe is become but in
vayn to yowe / as many of yow as are iustified by the lawe are
fallen from grace / we loke for and hope in the spirite to be
iustified thorow faithe. Theis cleare examples of Christ and the
apostles / and doctrine of the sincere and sounde confession of
Christe do suffice to yow reuerend and godly hearers. Out of
which we do gather / that their cõfessions are neither full /
nor sincere / which do confes that indeede Christe is thier
saluaciõ and rightuisnes / their preist and sacrifice / their
aduocate and mediator /
[[Imperfaite confessiõs.]]
yet so that it notwithstõding they do gyue the very same / and
cõmunicate them to synneful men / to thinges also and meanes
which are in no place instituted nor approued of Godd. And no
les corrupt is their confession also / which do confes wyth the
mouthe that Godd alone is to be adored and worshipped / that
Christe is the only preiste and true aduocate with the father /
but yet in their deedes they do denye that same confession of
their mouthe / bowinge their knees to Images / worshippinge
creatures / callinge vppon their patrons and fayned saynts of
heauen.
