paul_n exhort_v the_o faithful_a to_o serve_v righteousness_n unto_o sanctification_n 6.16_o rom._n 6.16_o that_o be_v that_o they_o may_v become_v still_o more_o holy_a semblable_a thereto_o be_v

themselves_o though_o do_v in_o grace_n yet_o have_v no_o proportion_n to_o such_o a_o reward_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o god_n gracious_a promise_n they_o shall_v never_o receive_v such_o a_o reward_n as_o by_o justice_n be_v not_o due_a unto_o they_o for_o even_o these_o work_n be_v to_o be_v attribute_v rather_o to_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n by_o who_o help_n they_o be_v perform_v then_o unto_o man_n therefore_o god_n in_o bestow_v these_o gift_n do_v rather_o reward_v his_o own_o gift_n and_o grace_n than_o any_o work_n of_o man_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o no_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o merit_v eternal_a life_n by_o his_o work_n as_o you_o see_v last_o good_a work_n perform_v in_o the_o state_n of_o grace_n by_o the_o faithful_a especial_o those_o which_o in_o the_o aforesaid_a respect_n do_v neither_o direct_o nor_o indirect_o come_v under_o necessary_a obligation_n have_v from_o god_n out_o of_o his_o mere_a bounty_n and_o liberality_n a_o promise_n of_o reward_n which_o shall_v be_v afford_v they_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o this_o reward_n be_v not_o the_o essential_o of_o eternal_a life_n itself_o but_o certain_a degree_n and_o over-measure_n of_o glory_n the_o psalmist_n say_v to_o god_n 62.12_o psal_n 62.12_o thou_o rendere_v to_o every_o man_n according_a to_o his_o work_n and_o st._n paul_n 4.17_o 2._o cor._n 4.17_o our_o light_a affliction_n work_v for_o we_o a_o eternal_a weight_n of_o glory_n and_o christ_n himself_o promise_v 9.41_o marc._n 9.41_o that_o whosoever_o shall_v give_v his_o disciple_n a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n in_o his_o name_n shall_v not_o lose_v his_o reward_n of_o which_o kind_n of_o promise_n the_o scripture_n have_v plenty_n yet_o do_v it_o not_o thereupon_o follow_v that_o such_o

and_o where_o grace_n be_v afford_v 11.6_o rom._n 11.6_o there_o all_o merit_n be_v exclude_v but_o in_o these_o good_a work_n grace_n bear_v a_o great_a part_n first_o in_o that_o a_o man_n do_v they_o by_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n and_o therefore_o s._n 6._o aug_n de_fw-mi gra_fw-mi &_o lib._n arb_n c._n 6._o augustine_n say_v that_o god_n crow_v not_o man_n merit_n but_o his_o own_o gift_n also_o because_o it_o be_v out_o of_o mere_a grace_n that_o god_n promise_v a_o reward_n such_o promise_n be_v make_v not_o out_o of_o justice_n but_o from_o mere_a bounty_n as_o when_o a_o prince_n not_o be_v oblige_v to_o any_o proclaim_v a_o prize_n for_o he_o that_o shall_v run_v best_a in_o a_o race_n it_o be_v certain_a that_o this_o run_v be_v not_o proper_o a_o merit_n be_v it_o have_v no_o proportion_n with_o the_o prize_n which_o be_v of_o great_a value_n and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o bounty_n of_o the_o promise_n that_o run_v be_v not_o of_o any_o worth_n at_o all_o but_o yet_o all_o these_o grace_n be_v suppose_v when_o as_o the_o scripture_n willing_o call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o reward_n all_o those_o gift_n and_o heavenly_a remuneration_n which_o be_v promise_v unto_o work_n some_o kind_n of_o merit_n can_v be_v deny_v for_o sure_o reward_n do_v imply_v a_o relation_n and_o correspondence_n to_o some_o merit_n but_o you_o must_v take_v with_o you_o that_o this_o merit_n have_v no_o relation_n to_o the_o essential_o of_o eternal_a life_n as_o also_o that_o it_o suppose_v all_o these_o grace_n whereupon_o you_o be_v not_o to_o rely_v upon_o your_o merit_n nor_o to_o build_v the_o frame_n of_o your_o salvation_n upon_o they_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v your_o entire_a foundation_n therefore_o put_v all_o your_o hope_n both_o in_o life_n and_o
