Acts. 10. 35.
The text.
But in euerie nation, he that feareth him, and ∴ worketh iu∣stice is acceptable to him.
The note.
Not such as beleeue onlie, but such as feare God and worke iustice, are acceptable to him.
The answer.
Bée there (I pray you) anie infidels that worke righteousnes, if there be,* 1.1 then what is become of that, without faith it is im∣possible to please God? If none can haue good works that hath not faith, than whie also on the contrarie part doo ye not graunt, that none can haue a true and a liuelie faith, but (as time and oc∣casion serueth) he must shew it foorth by the fruits and effects thereof? Your reason from doing to being alone followeth not, except you will say that the tongue speaketh not alone, because it is not alone in the head, but I am wearie with oft answering this fond cauill.
