Acts. 24. 25.

The text.

And he disputing of ∴ iustice and chastitie, and of the iudge∣ment to come, Felix being terrified answered. For this time go thy waie.

The note.

The Apostolike teaching was not of onely, and speciall faith, but of iustice and chastitie and iudgement, that is to saie, of the terror of hell, and other Gods iudgements in the next life answerable to our deedes in this world: by which the hearers were first terrified, and so induced to penance, how saie heretikes that then such things make men hypocrites.

The answer.

If there be any that teach so onely, and speciall faith that they omit to teach other Christian duties, tell vs I praie you, tell vs who they be. Otherwise we shall thinke this to be an ordinarie cast of office with you, to induce your ignorant followers to thinke that iustice, chastitie, and iudgement to come, are not taught now a daies. Againe if you can shew vs any that deny the preaching of the iudgements of God to be profitable for the con∣uersion of men, frō wicked waies, tell vs that we may also detest them. Yet we saie that they which neuer learne to yéeld obedi∣ence to God of sonnelike dutie, but of seruile feare, are but hypo∣crites when they are at the best.
