Abraham beleued God, and it was counted vnto hym for ryghteousnes. 4 To hym that worketh, is the reward not reckened of grace, but of duetie. 5 To hym that worketh not, but beleueth on hym that iustifieth the vngodly, his fayth is counted for ryghteousnes. 6 Euen as Dauid describeth the blessednesse of the man vnto whom God imputeth righteousnesse without workes:

And he aunswered & saide, I wyll sir, and went not. 31 Whether of them twayne did the wyl of the father? And they saide vnto him, the first. Iesus sayth vnto them: Ueryly I saye vnto you, that publicanes & harlottes go into the kingdome of God, before you. 32 For Iohn came vnto you by the way of righteousnes, & ye beleued hym not: but publicanes & harlottes beleued him. And ye, when ye had sene it were not moued afterwarde with repentaunce, that ye myght haue beleued hym.
