§ 4. No true faith without workes.
* 1.1FIdem, spem, charitatem, atque operatio∣nem quamdiu in hac vita vivimus ae∣quales sibi esse apud nosmetipsos invenimus. &c. We finde that faith, hope, charitie, & good workes, so long as here we liue are equall in vs: For looke how much we be∣leeue, so much also we loue, and how much we loue, so much wee presume of hope: Of faith and workes also, StIohn confesseth, saying, He that saith, he know∣eth God, and keepeth not his Comman∣dements, is a lyar. For the knowledge of God appertaineth to faith, the keeping of the Commandements to workes. When therefore power and time, and place of working serueth, so much doth a man worke, as he knoweth God, and so much
descriptionPage 6
doth he shew himselfe to knowe God,* 1.2 as he worketh good things for Gods sake. Every one that is conversant in the exer∣cise of this life, beleeueth so much as hee hopeth, and loueth; and looke how much he beleeueth, hopeth, loueth, so much hee worketh.
Notes
* 1.1
In Ezech. hom. 22. No separation betweene Faith and Workes saith Gregory: yes, say they, a man may haue true faith, with∣out good workes. The true name of Faith is not appliable, where there is not Charity ioyned with it, neither can there be true beliefe.
where there is no loue. Justification before God, con∣sisteth not in proceeding from Faith to Works, but in the conti∣nuation of Faith to Faith, yet this Faith cannot be separated from Charity and good Workes.
