1. Tim. 6. 19.

The text.

Command the rich of this world not to be high minded, nor to trust in the vncertainty of riches but in the liuing God, (who giueth al things aboundantly to enioy) to do wel to be∣come rich in good works, to giue easelie to communicate, to heape vnto themselues a good ∴ foundation for the time to come, that they may apprehend the true life.

The note.

Almes deeds and good works laid for a foundation and ground to at∣taine euerlasting life. So say the doctors vpon this place.

The answer.

If you had shewed vs what doctors had so spoken, we woulde haue shewed you their meaning. But we know that neither they nor the apostles ment by the word foundation, to put Christ out of his office, or place: but onlie to oppose against the vncer∣taintie of riches here, the certaintie of promised blessednes in the time to come. According to the saieng of our Lord, and Sauiour Christ, Blessed are the mercifull, for they shall obtaine mercy.
