For neither is true faith a property of mans wit, but a gifte of God: neither is it giuen to all, but to the elect: neither is it an vncertaine and wauering opinion, of things promised, but a substance and setled assurance of things promised, & an assured taking hold on things
which are not seene. Neither doth it growe from the hearing of humaine reasons, but is conceiued by hearing the word of God, and is grounded vpon the authoritie of God him∣selfe onely, speaking and promising: Neither is it an hypocritical and dissembled, but a sin∣cere assent thereunto. Neither is it a tempo∣rall persuasion, but a constant and perpetuall: though many times wee weaken the same by our sinnes. Neither is it a blinde or fonde mat∣ter, but an exceeding great wisedome, where∣by wee knowe God and Christ and heauenlie things: and a christian prudence, which cau∣seth vs not to abuse that knowledge of God, but to apply it to the true vse: Neither (lastly) is it a dead thing, but liuely and working through charitie.
