The Books of Homilies Quotes

“Saint Hilary saith these words plainly in the ninth canon upon Matthew: ‘Faith only justifieth.’ 14 And Saint Basil, a Greek author, writeth thus: ‘This is a perfect and whole rejoicing in God when a man avaunteth not himself for his own righteousness, but knowledgeth himself to lack true justice and righteousness, and to be justified by the only faith in Christ. 15”
― Gerald Bray, The Books of Homilies: A Critical Edition
