imbued with faith; they might have done great things for their
own and others' salvation; at the same cost which they now waste
in abuse of the gifts of God。 But since human nature and natural
reason; as they call it; are naturally superstitious; and quick
to believe that justification can be attained by any laws or
works proposed to them; and since nature is also exercised and
confirmed in the same view by the practice of all earthly
lawgivers; she can never of her own power free herself from this
bondage to works; and come to a recognition of the liberty of
faith。
We have therefore need to pray that God will lead us and make us
taught of God; that is; ready to learn from God; and will
Himself; as He has promised; write His law in our hearts;
otherwise there is no hope for us。 For unless He himself teach us
inwardly this wisdom hidden in a mystery; nature cannot but
condemn it and judge it to be heretical。 She takes offence at it;
and it seems folly to her; just as we see that it happened of old
in the case of the prophets and Apostles; and just as blind and
impious pontiffs; with their flatterers; do now in my case and
that of those who are like me; upon whom; together with
ourselves; may God at length have mercy; and lift up the light of
His countenance upon them; that we may know His way upon earth
and His saving health among all nations; who is blessed for
evermore。 Amen。 In the year of the Lord MDXX。
