The note.
Penance prepareth the way to Christ.
The answer.
It is verie true, that the knowledge of our sinnes with the sight of Gods wrath and indignation against them, ioyned with an wholesome griefe and sorow therefore, maketh men earnestly to séeke how to escape the seuere iustice of God, and to obtaine re∣mission and pardon of their sinnes, which when they can finde no where els, they are constrained to embrace the promises of mer∣cie offered them in Christ. But if your imagined satisfaction for sinnes by penance be true, the preaching thereof were a way to kéepe a man from Christ, and to make men to rest in themselues.
