^{1 !} What faith is and a commendacion of the same.

^{2 a} Haue bene approued, and so obteined saluacion.

^{3 b} For God made all things of nothing.

^{4 c} Meaning faith.

^{4 d} Because God receiued him to mercie, therefore he imputed him righteous.

^{4 e} That is, liueth.

^{5 f} For Enochs & Elias taking vp was suche a thing, as is spoken of, {I Cor. 15,51, & thes. 4,15}

^{6 g} First God must finde vs before we can seke him: then we must seke him with a pure heart in Christ, who is reueiled in his worde: & thereby we learne to beleue Gods fre mercie towardes vs in his Sonne, through whome we obteine, the rewarde of his promes, & not of our desertes.

^{9 !} Without faith we can not please God.

^{10 h} For all things in the worlde are subject to corruption.

^{12 i} Euen as dead.

^{13 m} And therefore put not their confidence in things of this worlde.

^{13 k} Which was the enjoying of the land of Canaan.

^{13 l} With the eyes of faith.

^{15 n} That is, of Mesopotamia.

^{16 !} The stedfast belefe of the fathers in olde time.

^{21 /} Or, worshiped towarde the end of his staffe.

^{25 p} The entisings of the worlde, which drawe vs from God, and which we can not vse without prouoking of Gods angre.

^{33 q} Or frute thereof.

^{35 r} As Elias raised vp the widowe of Sareptas sonne, and Eliseus the Sunamites sonne.

^{39 s} Thei had not suche cleare light of Christ as we: for thei loked for that which we haue: therefore it were shame for vs, if at least we haue not as great constancie as thei.

^{40 t} For we are all one bodie together.
