The Tempted.
TRue and liuely faith alwaies workes by loue, on the other side that faith which hath not workes, is dead in it selfe.* 1.1 As the body without the soule is dead so faith with∣out workes is dead.* 1.2 But now I doe not see a great number of good workes, which may giue manifest testimonie of my faith. Euill cleaues vnto me, that am willing to doe good, to will is present with mee, but I finde no po∣wer to performe that which is good.
