¶ The second Chapter.
¶ He for byddeth to haue eny respect of persones,
and not to boast of fayth where no dedes are.
-- --
A My brethren, esteme not the fayth
of our Lorde Iesus Christ þe; Lorde
of glory note &wt; respecte of pers&obar;s.
For if ther come into youre company
a man wearyng a gold&ebar;ryng, clothed
in goodly aparell, and ther come in also a
poore m&abar; in vyle raym&ebar;t, ∧ ye haue a respecte
to him that weareth the gaye clothing,
and say vnto him: Syt thou here in a good
place: and saye vnto the poore: stande thou
there, or syt here vnder my fote stole: are ye
not parciall in youre selues, and haue iudged
after euyll thoughtes?
Harken my deare beloued brethr&ebar;. Hath
not God chosen the poore of thys worlde,
soch as are ryche in faythe, ∧ heyres of the
kyngdome, whych he promysed to th&ebar; that
loue hym?
B But ye haue despysed the poore.
Do not rych m&ebar; execute tyrannye vp&obar; you,
and draw you before the iudgement seates.
Do not they speake euyll of that good name
which is called vpon ouer you?
Yf ye fulfyll the royall lawe, accordynge
to the scripture. note(Thou shalte loue thyne
neghboure as thy selfe) ye do well. But yf
ye regarde one person more then another,
ye commyt synne, ∧ are rebuked of þe; lawe,
as transgressours. Whosoeuer shall kepe þe;
whole lawe, ∧ note yet fayle in one poynt, he
is gyltie of all.
C For he þt; sayd: Thou shalt
not commyt adulterye, sayde also þu; shalt
not kyll. Though thou do none adulterye,
yet yf thou kyll, thou art become a transgressor
of þe; lawe. So speake ye, and so do,
as they that shalbe iudged by the lawe of libertye.
For he shal haue iudgem&ebar;t without
mercy note that sheweth no mercy: and mercy
reioyseth agaynst iudgement. &cross3;
What auayleth it my brethren, though a
m&abar; saye he hath fayth, yf he haue no dedes?
C&abar; fayth saue him If a brother or a syster
be naked ∧ destitute of dayly fode, ∧ one of
you saye vnto them: departe in peace, God
s&ebar;d you warmnes ∧ fode, not &wt;st&abar;dyng ye
geue th&ebar; not those thinges which are nedful
to the body, what shal it helpe? Euen so
fayth, yf it haue no dedes: is deed in it selfe:
But some m&abar; wyll saye: þu; hast fayth, ∧ I
haue dedes: shewe me thy fayth by thy dedes:
∧ I will shewe the my fayth by my dedes.
D Beleuest þu; that ther is one god? Thou
doest well. The deuyls also beleue, ∧ tr&ebar;ble.
But wilt þu; vnderstande. (O thou vayne
man) þe; fayth without dedes is deed? Was
not Abrah&abar; oure father iustifyed thorow
workes, wh&ebar; he had note offered Isaac his s&obar;ne
vp&obar; the aulter? Thou seest, how that fayth
wrought &wt; his dedes, ∧ through the dedes
was the fayth made parfecte: ∧ þe; scripture
was fulfylled, which sayth: note Abrah&abar; beleued
God, and it was reputed vnto hym for
ryghtewesnes: ∧ he was called þe; frende of
God. &cross2; Ye se then how that of dedes a m&abar;
is iustifyed, and not of fayth onely. Lykewyse
also, was not Raab the harlot iustifyed
thorow workes, note when she had receaued
the messengers, and had sent th&ebar; out
another waye? For as the body, wythout
the sprete is deed, euen so fayth wythout
workes is deed also. &cross3;
