Fayth is the belevinge of goddes promesses & a sure trust in the
goodnesse and truth of god. Which faith iustifyeth Abrahã gene .xv.
and was the mother of all his good workes which he afterward did. For
faith is the goodnesse of all workes in the sight of God. Good workes
are thinges of godes comaundemẽt wrought in faith. And to sow a
showe at the commaundement of god to do thy neyghboure service
withall/ with faith to be saved by Christ (as god promyseth vs.) is
moch better thẽ to bild an abbay of thyne awne imagination/
trustinge to be saved by the fayned workes of hypocrites. Iacob robbed
Laban his vncle: Moses robbed the Egiptians: And Abrahã is aboute to
slee and burne his awne sonne: And all are holye workes/ because they
were wrought in fayth at goddes commaundement. To stele/ robbe and
murther are no holye workes before worldly people: but vnto them that
haue their truste in god: they are holye when god commaundeth them.
What god commaundeth not getteth no reward with god. Holy workes of
mens imagination receave their rewarde here/ as Christ testyfyeth Math
.vj. How be it of fayth & workes I haue spoken abundantly in mammon.
Let him that desyreth more seke there.
Grace: fauoure/ As Noe founde grace/ that is to saye favoure and love.
Ham and Cam all one.
Iehovah is goddes name/ nether is any creature so called. And it is as
moch to saye as one that is of him self and dependeth of nothinge.
Moreouer as oft as thou seist LORde in great letters (excepte there
be any erroure in the prẽtinge) it is in hebrewe Iehovah/ thou that
arte or he that is.
Marshall/ in hebrue he is called Sar tabaim/ as thou woldest saye/
lorde of the slaughtermen And though that Tabaim be takẽ for cokes in
many places/ for the cokes did sle the beastes thẽ selues in those
dayes: yet it may be taken for them that put men to execution also.
And that me thought it shuld here best signifye in as moch as he had
the oversight of the kinges preson and the kinges presoners were they
neuer so great mẽ were vnder his custodye. And therfore I call him
cheffe marshall an officer as is the lefetenaunte of the toure/ or
master of the marshalsye.
Slyme was their morter .xi. Chapter/ And slyme pittes .xiiij. chapter:
that slyme was a fattenesse that osed out of the erth lyke vnto tarre/
And thou mayst call it cement/ if thou wilt.
Siloh after some is as moch to saye as sent/ & after some happie/ and
after some it signifieth Mesias/ y^t is to say annoynted and that we
call Christe after the greke worde. And it is a prophesie of Christ:
For after y^t all y^e other tribes were in captiuite & their kyngdom
destroyed/ yet the tribe of Iuda had a ruler of the same bloud/ even
vnto the comynge of Christ. And aboute the comĩge of Christ the
Romayns conquered them/ and the Emperoure gaue the kyngdom of tribe
Iuda vnto Herode which was a straunger/ even an Edomite of the
generacyon of Esau.
