Thys ys all that he sayeth for hys puttynge out of grace and settynge in of fauour. And I praye you consyder what cause hath he now shewede why he so sholde do. And yet his tytell of this chapiter is, why fauour & not grace, as though he wolde tell you why. And hath he now shewed you any [ B] cause at all / but thynketh that hys proper scoffynge is suf∣fycyent to chaung y knowen holy namys of vertue thorow all scrypture, in to suche wordes as hym selfe lyketh. And now he pleaseth hym self wonderfully well, bycause he hath founde out so fetely that prety scoffe that grace sygnyfyeth somtyme no good / as when a man standeth well in his la∣dyes grace. But he seeth well that I fynde wyth hym the faute, for chaungynge grace into fauour, where ye scrypture speketh not of the grace of my lady but of the grace of our lorde. In spekynge wherof all be it that goddys fauour is neuer but good: yet is in respecte vnto hys creature hys grace and his fauour not alwaye one / but he both fauoreth for his grace, and gyueth grace for his fauour, & fauoreth for his mercy / and yet his fauour and his mercy not bothe [ C] one, in respecte I saye to his creatures, though hys owne nature be so entyere and hole, that all that euer is in hym is all one. And yet where he putteth his ensample of standyng in his ladyes grace / bycause yt is yet but indyfferent, for y maye be good inough: he sholde haue made thensample by ••••wde Luther & his lew ladyes grace. And when he sayeth that in the vnyuersyte many vngracyouse graces be goten: he sholde haue made it more playne and better perceyued, yf he had sayed, as for ensample when hys owne grace was th•••••• graunted to be made mayster of arte. And thus gra∣cyon •••• hath he quytte hym selfe in puttynge out of grace.
