Contraried by Antiquitie.

Tertul. in lib. de Baptis. Faith, saith hee, hath safe securitie of saluation.

Cyprian. de Mortal. God hath promised vnto thee, when thou departest out of this world, immortalitie and eternity, and doest thou doubt thereof? This were not to know God: this is to of∣fend Christ, the Master of Beleeuers, with the sinne of vnbeliefe; this is for a man being in the house of faith, to be without faith.

Ambros. in Psal. 118. Serm. 7. pag. 641. saith, The iust man knoweth that eternall life is laid vp for him.

Austin on Psal. 149. There is a kinde of glorying in the con∣science, when thou knowest thy faith to bee sincere, thy hope certaine, and thy loue without dissembling. And Tom. 2. de ver∣bis Domini, Serm. 28. All thy sinnes are forgiuen thee: Thou art made a good sonne, of an euill seruant: Therefore presume thou not of thy working, but of the grace of Christ: for, saith the A∣postle, Ye are saued by grace. Here therefore is not arrogancie,

but faith: to make knowne what thou hast receiued, is not pride, but deuotion.

Hilary in Matth. Can. 5. The Lord will haue vs hope for the kingdome of heauen, without any doubting: for otherwise there is no iustification of faith; if faith it selfe be vncertaine.

Macarius hom. 17. Although (speaking of the godly) they are not yet entred into the whole inheritance prepared for them in the world to come: yet, through the earnest which they now receiue, they are as certaine of it, as if they were already crowned and raigning.

Bernard. in Epist. 190. ad Innocent. PP. If faith wauer, then is our faith in vaine, and our Martyrs were fooles to suffer such bitter things, for vncertaine rewards. And a little after he saith, citing Austin for it, That faith is not held of him, that hath it in his heart, to be there by coniecture, or in opinion, but by cer∣taine knowledge, the conscience giuing witnesse thereto.
