Bible. Jonah -- Commentaries
¶ And on the other syde thou must serch diligently for the promises of
mercie which God hath promised the agayne. Which .ii. poyntes/ that is
to wete/ [the] lawe spiritually interpreted/ how that all is dānable
synne that is not vnfayned loue out of the grownde and botom of the
herte after the ensample of Christes loue to vs/ because we be all
equally created ād formed of one god oure father/ and indifferently
bought & redemed with one bloud of oure sauioure Iesus Christe: ād that
the promises be geuen vn to a repentynge soule that thursteth and
longeth after them/ of the pure and fatherly mercie of god thorow oure
faith onely with oute al deseruinge of oure dedes or merites of oure
werkes/ but for Christes sake alone and for the merites ād deseruinges
of his werkes/ deth and passions that he sofered all to gether for vs &
not for him selfe: whych .ii. poyntes I saye/ if they be written in
thine herte/ are the keyes which so open all the scripture vn to the/
that no creature can locke the out/ and with which thou shalt goo in and
out/ and finde pasture and fode euery where. And yf these lesons be not
writtten in thyne herte/ then is all the scripture shutt vpp/ as a
cornell in the shale/ so that thou mayst read it and comen of it and
reherse all the stories of it and dispute sotilly and be a profounde
sophister/ and yet vnderstond not one Iot therof.
¶ And thridly that thou take the stories & liues which are cōteyned in
the bible/ for sure ād vndowted ensamples/ [that] God so will deale with
vs vn to the worldes ende.
¶ Here with Reader farewell and be commended vn to God/ and vn to the
grace of hys spryte. And first se that thou stoppe not thyne eares vn to
the callynge of god/ and that thou harden not thine herte begyled with
fleshly interpretinge of the law & false imagined and ypocritish
rightwesnesse/ and so the Niniuites ryse with the at [the] day of
iudgement & condemne the.
¶ And secōdarily if thou finde ought amisse/ when thou seyst thy selfe
in the glasse of Gods worde/ thynke it cōpendious wisdome/ to amende
[the] same betymes/ moneshed & warned by the ensample of other men/
rather thē to tary vntill thou be beten also.
