Chap. II.
Against acception of persons. 10 From al and euery sinne vve must absteine, hauing
in al our vvordes and deedes, the Iudgement before our eies: vvherein vvorkes
of mercie shal be required of vs, 14 and onely faith shal not auaile vs.
18 And that the Catholike by his vvorkes shevveth that he hath faith:
vvhereas the Heretike hath no more faith then the Diuel, talke he of faith
neuer so much, and of iustification thereby onely, by the example of Abraham
Ro. 4. For Abraham in deede vvas iustified by vvorkes also, 25 and likevvise
Rahab.

1 noteMy brethren, Haue not the faith of our
Lord Iesvs Christ of glorie09Q1417 in acception
of persons.
2 For if there
shal enter into your assemblie a man
hauing a golden ring in goodly appareil,
and there shal enter in a poore
man in homely attire,
3 & you haue
respect to him that is clothed vvith
the goodly appareil, and shal say to
him, Sitte thou here vvel: but say to the poore man, Stand
thou there: or sitte vnder my foote-stoole:
4 do you not
iudge vvith your selues, and are become iudges of vniust cogitations?
5 Heare my deerest brethren: hath not God chosen
the poore in this vvorld, riche in faith, and heires of the
kingdom vvhich God hath promised to them that loue him?
6 But you haue dishonoured the poore m&abar;. Do not the riche
oppresse you by might: and them selues dravv you to iudgements?
7 Doe not they blaspheme the good name that is
inuocated vpon you?
8 If not-vvithstanding you fulfil the
roial lavv according to the scriptures, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour
as thy self, note you doe vvel:
9 but if you accept persons, you
vvorke sinne, reproued of the Lavv as transgressours.
10 And
note vvhosoeuer shal keepe the vvhole Lavv, but offendeth in
one:09Q1418 is made guilty of al.
11 For he that said, Thou shalt
not commit aduoutrie, said also, Thou shalt not kil. And if
thou doe not commit aduoutrie, but shalt kil: thou art made
a transgressour of the Lavv.
12 So speake ye, and so doe, as
beginning to be iudged by the lavv of libertie.
13 For09Q1419 iudgement
vvithout mercie to him that hath not done mercie.
And mercie note exalteth it self aboue iudgement.
14 09Q1420Vvhat shal it profit my brethren, if a man say he hath
faith: but hath not vvorkes? Shal faith be able to saue him?
15 And note if a brother or sister be naked, & lacke daily foode:
16 and one of you say to them, Goe in peace, be vvarmed &
filled: but you giue them not the things that are necessarie
for the bodie: vvhat shal it profit?
17 So faith also, if it haue
not vvorkes, is dead in it self.
18 But some man saith, Thou
hast faith, and I haue vvorkes: shevv me thy faith vvithout
vvorkes: & I vvil shevv thee by vvorkes my faith.
19 Thou
beleeuest that there is one God. Thou doest vvel: the deuils
-- --
also beleeue and tremble.
20 But vvilt thou knovv note รด vaine
man, that faith vvithout vvorkes is note idle?
21 09Q1421Abraham our
father vvas he not iustified by vvorkes, note offering Isaac his
sonne vpon the altar?
22 Seest thou that09Q1422 faith did vvorke
vvith his vvorkes: and by the vvorkes the faith vvas consummate?
23 And the Scripture vvas fulfilled, saying, Abraham
beleeued God, and it vvas reputed him to iustice, and he vvas called09Q1423 the
freende of God. note
24 Do you see that by vvorkes a man is iustified:
&09Q1424 not by faith only?
25 And in like maner also note09Q1425 Rahab the
harlot, vvas not she iustified by vvorkes, receiuing the messengers,
and putting them forth an other vvay?
26 For euen
as the bodie vvithout the spirit is dead: so also09Q1426 faith vvithout
vvorkes is dead.
