A13103 A motiue to good workes Or rather, to true Christianitie indeede. Wherein by the waie is shewed, how farre wee are behinde, not onely our fore-fathers in good workes, but also many other creatures in the endes of our creation: with the difference betwixt the pretenced [sic] good workes of the Antichristian Papist, and the good workes of the Christian Protestant.

good_a work_n and_o the_o like_a it_o be_v unpossible_a for_o thou_o to_o see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n to_o thy_o salvation_n otherwise_o than_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o reprobate_n who_o shall_v

evil_a for_o as_o the_o tree_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v good_a before_o it_o can_v bring_v forth_o any_o good_a fruit_n at_o all_o so_o a_o man_n must_v be_v sanctify_v and_o regenerate_v by_o

and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o wonder_v at_o the_o more_o than_o palpable_a blindness_n of_o these_o iusticiaries_n and_o merit-monger_n the_o papist_n who_o believe_v that_o good_a work_n can_v justify_v we_o before_o god_n our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v without_o i_o you_o can_v do_v nothing_o whereto_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o agree_v when_o he_o say_v it_o be_v god_n which_o geve_v both_o the_o will_n &_o the_o deed_n even_o of_o his_o good_a will_n and_o then_o alas_o what_o place_n of_o merit_n be_v there_o leave_v for_o we_o and_o whereas_o they_o object_n that_o god_n have_v promise_v to_o reward_v our_o good_a work_n true_a it_o be_v he_o give_v we_o grace_n first_o to_o will_n than_o power_n to_o perform_v and_o put_v in_o practice_v every_o good_a work_n that_o we_o do_v and_o have_v bind_v himself_o with_o a_o promise_n to_o reward_v these_o his_o own_o gift_n in_o us._n but_o this_o reward_n stand_v in_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n not_o in_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o work_n let_v we_o therefore_o abandon_v our_o own_o merit_n as_o filthy_a dung_n hold_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n to_o be_v our_o righteousness_n be_v assure_v that_o if_o the_o

and_o everlasting_a life_n by_o their_o good_a work_n yea_o they_o have_v not_o only_o good_a work_n enough_o to_o save_v themselves_o withal_o but_o other_o also_o and_o these_o they_o call_v work_n of_o supererogation_n that_o be_v when_o they_o do_v more_o good_a work_n and_o in_o great_a perfection_n than_o god_n either_o can_v or_o will_v require_v of_o they_o as_o i_o have_v note_v before_o and_o therefore_o with_o the_o overplus_n of_o these_o forsooth_o they_o will_v help_v their_o fellow_n if_o they_o will_v pay_v well_o for_o they_o else_o get_v they_o none_o for_o no_o penny_n no_o

shall_v a_o man_n care_n for_o do_v of_o good_a work_n himself_o when_o for_o a_o little_a money_n he_o may_v buy_v enough_o of_o other_o the_o five_o foolish_a virgin_n will_v have_v buy_v oil_n of_o the_o wise_a but_o it_o be_v answer_v
they_o they_o can_v have_v none_o lest_o there_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o they_o both_o whereby_o we_o see_v that_o as_o no_o man_n can_v buy_v the_o good_a work_n of_o another_o so_o no_o man_n have_v enough_o to_o save_v himself_o the_o apostle_n peter_n say_v there_o be_v no_o other_o name_n give_v under_o heaven_n whereby_o man_n can_v be_v save_v but_o only_o jesus_n christ._n and_o if_o good_a work_n can_v save_v we_o as_o the_o same_o apostle_n reason_v then_o have_v christ_n die_v in_o vain_a for_o how_o vain_a a_o thing_n have_v it_o be_v for_o the_o majesty_n of_o god_n to_o have_v send_v his_o own_o son_n into_o this_o miserable_a world_n to_o take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o &_o to_o shed_v his_o most_o precious_a blood_n for_o we_o if_o we_o can_v have_v justify_v ourselves_o or_o purchase_v our_o salvation_n either_o through_o our_o inherent_a righteousness_n as_o the_o papist_n must_v blasphemous_o affirm_v by_o our_o merit_n or_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o paul_n be_v bold_a to_o conclude_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v by_o faith_n only_o without_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n be_v justify_v say_v he_o by_o faith_n we_o have_v peace_n with_o god_n through_o jesus_n christ._n and_o to_o the_o galath_n he_o say_v further_a that_o as_o many_o as_o do_v rely_v upon_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n 5._o be_v under_o the_o curse_n and_o banish_v from_o grace_n to_o which_o the_o prophet_n abacuc_n seem_v to_o agree_v say_v the_o just_a shall_v live_v by_o faith_n but_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v then_o to_o the_o apostle_n james_n who_o say_v we_o be_v justify_v by_o work_n and_o not_o by_o faith_n only_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o iustification_n one_o absolute_a before_o god_n the_o

demonstrative_o before_o the_o world_n again_o paul_n wright_v of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n james_n of_o the_o effect_n paul_n have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o that_o contemn_v faith_n as_o the_o heathen_a jew_n and_o turk_n do_v now_o and_o therefore_o he_o attribute_v and_o that_o worthy_o justification_n to_o faith_n only_o james_n he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o they_o that_o contemn_v good_a work_n as_o thing_n of_o no_o value_n affirm_v that_o bare_a faith_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a to_o salvation_n &_o therefore_o he_o attribute_v the_o more_o to_o work_n thereby_o to_o draw_v they_o to_o the_o practise_v of_o they_o again_o paul_n speak_v of_o such_o work_n as_o go_v before_o justification_n james_n of_o such_o as_o follow_v after_o paul_n mean_v not_o of_o a_o bare_a and_o naked_a faith_n without_o good_a work_n but_o of_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o can_v no_o more_o be_v without_o good_a work_n than_o the_o sun_n without_o light_n or_o the_o fire_n without_o heat_n james_n he_o mean_v of_o a_o bare_a naked_a and_o dead_a faith_n such_o as_o the_o very_a devil_n have_v &_o as_o the_o very_a heathen_a &_o infidel_n have_v so_o that_o in_o substance_n &_o matter_n they_o both_o mean_v and_o speak_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n for_o true_o as_o faith_n be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o our_o justification_n before_o god_n so_o our_o work_n be_v the_o effect_n or_o fruit_n issue_v thereout_o whereby_o we_o be_v know_v to_o be_v justify_v before_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o brag_v of_o our_o faith_n as_o much_o as_o we_o will_v if_o it_o be_v but_o such_o a_o faith_n as_o bring_v forth_o no_o good_a work_n we_o can_v never_o be_v save_v by_o it_o this_o be_v not_o that_o iustifieng_v faith_n which_o paul_n speak_v of_o nor_o which_o the_o child_n of_o god_n have_v but_o a_o dead_a faith_n a_o barren_a faith_n a_o historical_a faith_n which_o the_o devil_n and_o all_o reprobate_n have_v but_o here_o perchance_o some_o captious_a sophister_n will_v ask_v i_o if_o we_o can_v be_v justify_v by_o good_a work_n to_o '_o what_o end_n then_o shall_v we_o do_v they_o to_o who_o i_o answer_v we_o be_v to_o do_v good_a work_n for_o six_o cause_n especial_o first_o for_o the_o love_n &_o obedience_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o god_n second_o for_o the_o mutual_a love_n &_o brotherly_a charity_n which_o we_o bear_v one_o towards_o a_o other_o three_o to_o make_v our_o salvation_n sure_a &_o certain_a unto_o we_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v make_v your_o salvation_n sure_a by_o good_a work_n four_o for_o the_o zeal_n we_o have_v of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n fift_o to_o draw_v other_o from_o sin_n to_o the_o practife_n of_o godliness_n by_o our_o good_a example_n and_o sixth_o for_o the_o increase_n of_o our_o own_o reward_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v where_o no_o good_a work_n such_o be_v the_o bountiful_a liberality_n and_o merciful_a beneficence_n of_o our_o good_a god_n towards_o we_o miserable_a sinner_n shall_v be_v leave_v unrewarded_a and_o albeit_o that_o good_a work_n be_v no_o cause_n of_o our_o justification_n nor_o that_o thou_o can_v not_o be_v justify_v by_o they_o yet_o can_v thou_o never_o be_v save_v without_o they_o and_o therefore_o will_v i_o wish_v every_o one_o that_o have_v a_o care_n of_o his_o salvation_n to_o labour_v study_n &_o
