Contraried by Antiquitie.

Touching iustification by faith onely, the ancient Fathers are very cleare for vs against the Papists.

Chrysost. hom. 3. ad Tit. If thou beleeuest, why addest thou other things to faith, as if faith onely could not suffice to iustifie? And in Hom. 7. Rom. 3. speaking of Gods goodnesse, saith, he not onely saueth vs; but also iustifieth and glorifieth vs, vsing no works hereunto, but requireth faith onely.

Hilar. Can. 8. in Matth. saith, Faith onely iustifieth.

Basil. Hom. de humilit. saith, This is true and perfect reioy∣cing in God, when a man is not lifted vp in his owne righteous∣nesse, but knoweth himselfe to be without true righteousnesse, and to be iustified by faith * 1.1 onely in Iesus Christ.

Ambros. on Rom. 3. They are iustified freely, because doing nothing, neither repaying againe any thing in stead thereof, they are iustified onely by faith. And on Rom. 4. There is no need of the Law, seeing the wicked is iustified onely by faith.

Theophylact. on 3. chap. ad Galat. Faith onely, saith hee, hath in it the power to iustifie.

Page 288

Hesychius in Leuit. 14. lib. 1. Grace is apprehended onely by faith, and not by workes.

Primasius ad Rom. 5. & ad Gal. 2. He doth iustifie the wic∣ked by faith onely: Faith onely sufficeth you vnto saluation.

Theodoret in Ephes. 2. By faith onely, he forgiueth sinnes.

Bernard. in Cant. Serm. 22. Beleeue in God that iustifieth sinners: and being iustified by faith onely, hee shall haue peace with God.

Thus the Fathers speake according to the Scripture, in our manner of speaking in plaine termes.
