hold_v they_o necessary_a as_o cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n and_o justification_n but_o this_o we_o have_v confute_v heretofore_o second_o of_o some_o protestant_n who_o hold_v they_o necessary_a though_o not_o as_o principal_a cause_n for_o they_o say_v we_o be_v only_o justify_v and_o save_v by_o christ_n yet_o as_o conseruant_a cause_n of_o our_o salvation_n but_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o be_v no_o cause_n of_o salvation_n neither_o efficient_a principal_a nor_o conseruant_a nor_o yet_o material_a formal_a or_o final_a as_o have_v elsewhere_o be_v show_v the_o three_o opinion_n be_v the_o truth_n that_o good_a work_n be_v necessary_a not_o as_o cause_n of_o salvation_n or_o justification_n but_o as_o inseparable_a consequent_n of_o save_v faith_n in_o christ_n whereby_o we_o be_v justify_v and_o save_v or_o as_o a_o way_n be_v necessary_a to_o the_o go_v to_o a_o place_n the_o dignity_n of_o good_a work_n work_n be_v express_v in_o this_o that_o they_o be_v call_v good_a now_o they_o be_v good_a only_o in_o part_n not_o perfect_o as_o i_o show_v thus_o such_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v such_o be_v the_o friute_v but_o every_o one_o regenerate_v be_v partly_o spirit_n and_o

his_o action_n and_o therefore_o the_o work_n that_o proceed_v thence_o must_v needs_o be_v answerable_a that_o be_v in_o part_n corrupt_v as_o they_o come_v from_o nature_n and_o yet_o good_a in_o part_n as_o they_o come_v from_o grace_n quest._n but_o how_o can_v god_n approve_v of_o they_o if_o they_o be_v evil_a ans._n we_o must_v consider_v good_a work_n two_o way_n first_o in_o themselves_o as_o they_o be_v compare_v with_o the_o law_n and_o the_o rigour_n thereof_o and_o so_o they_o be_v sin_n because_o they_o answer_v not_o to_o that_o perfection_n which_o the_o law_n require_v for_o there_o be_v two_o degree_n of_o sin_n rebellion_n which_o be_v action_n flat_o against_o the_o law_n and_o defect_n when_o a_o man_n do_v those_o thing_n that_o the_o law_n command_v but_o yet_o fail_v in_o the_o manner_n of_o do_v and_o so_o be_v man_n very_a best_a work_n sin_n second_o consider_v good_a work_n as_o do_v by_o a_o person_n regenerate_v and_o reconcile_v to_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o so_o god_n accept_v of_o they_o for_o in_o christ_n the_o want_v thereof_o be_v cover_v but_o here_o we_o must_v take_v heed_n of_o the_o romish_a doctrine_n ●7_n which_o teach_v that_o good_a work_n be_v so_o far_o forth_o good_a that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n in_o they_o their_o reason_n be_v many_o to_o prove_v this_o point_n but_o they_o have_v be_v heretofore_o confute_v first_o they_o say_v good_a work_n have_v god_n for_o their_o author_n and_o therefore_o be_v perfect_o good_a answ._n this_o be_v true_a if_o he_o alone_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o but_o man_n be_v another_o author_n thereof_o from_o who_o they_o take_v their_o imperfection_n they_o say_v again_o that_o here_o they_o be_v call_v good_a but_o if_o they_o have_v any_o sin_n in_o they_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v evil_a for_o every_o sin_n be_v perfect_o evil_a ans._n where_o sin_n be_v unremit_v it_o be_v perfect_o evil_a but_o when_o it_o be_v pardon_v in_o our_o saviour_n christ_n it_o be_v as_o though_o it_o be_v not_o three_o they_o object_n that_o if_o good_a work_n be_v sinful_a than_o they_o must_v not_o be_v do_v and_o hereupon_o they_o say_v that_o by_o our_o doctrine_n man_n be_v bind_v to_o abstain_v from_o all_o good_a work_n answer_n that_o which_o be_v evil_a must_v not_o be_v do_v so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o be_v evil_a now_o good_a work_n be_v not_o simple_o and_o absolute_o evil_a they_o be_v good_a in_o themselves_o and_o in_o we_o in_o part_n come_v from_o grace_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v be_v do_v because_o god_n require_v they_o at_o our_o hand_n and_o for_o the_o imperfection_n of_o they_o we_o must_v pray_v for_o pardon_n in_o our_o saviour_n christ._n and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n we_o may_v just_o tax_v the_o proud_a doctrine_n of_o the_o papist_n who_o teach_v that_o man_n may_v be_v justify_v by_o good_a work_n when_o as_o the_o best_a work_n of_o any_o man_n in_o this_o life_n be_v taint_v with_o sin_n and_o be_v far_o unanswerable_a ●_o to_o that_o perfection_n which_o the_o law_n require_v we_o must_v be_v of_o a_o far_a other_o mind_n namely_o that_o for_o our_o best_a work_n god_n may_v just_o condemn_v we_o because_o we_o have_v not_o do_v they_o as_o we_o ought_v therefore_o christ_n bid_v we_o say_v of_o ourselves_o that_o when_o we_o have_v do_v all_o that_o we_o can_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n the_o use_n of_o good_a work_n be_v here_o set_v down_o by_o our_o saviour_n christ_n to_o work_n glorify_v god_n this_o be_v not_o the_o whole_a end_n of_o good_a work_n and_o therefore_o i_o will_v propound_v the_o same_o more_o full_o out_o of_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n for_o christ_n here_o only_o propound_v that_o end_n of_o good_a work_n which_o concern_v his_o intend_a purpose_n the_o use_n and_o end_n of_o good_a work_n be_v threefold_a either_o concern_v god_n god_n ourselves_o or_o our_o brethren_n as_o good_a work_n concern_v god_n they_o have_v three_o use_n first_o they_o serve_v as_o mean_n whereby_o 1_o we_o give_v unto_o god_n testimony_n of_o our_o homage_n and_o obedience_n unto_o his_o commandment_n for_o by_o creation_n preservation_n and_o redemption_n he_o be_v our_o lord_n and_o our_o god_n and_o so_o prescribe_v law_n for_o we_o to_o keep_v in_o which_o regard_n we_o owe_v homage_n unto_o he_o which_o that_o we_o may_v show_v forth_o and_o testify_v we_o must_v walk_v in_o good_a work_n as_o he_o in_o his_o word_n have_v command_v us._n second_o they_o serve_v to_o be_v token_n of_o 2_o our_o thankfulness_n unto_o god_n for_o our_o creation_n redemption_n and_o manifold_a preseruation_n both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n thankfulness_n indeed_o be_v show_v in_o word_n but_o yet_o true_a thankfulness_n stand_v in_o obedience_n and_o our_o obedience_n be_v show_v by_o do_v good_a work_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n paul_n exhort_v we_o to_o give_v up_o our_o body_n as_o holy_a and_o acceptable_a

ourselves_o be_v fourfold_a ourselves_o especial_o first_o they_o serve_v to_o be_v outward_a testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o profession_n prove_v that_o the_o grace_n of_o our_o heart_n 1_o be_v not_o in_o hypocrisy_n but_o in_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n 21._o abraham_n be_v say_v to_o have_v be_v justify_v by_o work_n because_o his_o work_n do_v testify_v that_o his_o faith_n be_v true_a and_o sincere_a for_o where_o the_o fire_n of_o grace_n be_v there_o it_o can_v but_o burn_v and_o where_o the_o water_n of_o life_n be_v it_o can_v but_o slow_a and_o send_v out_o the_o stream_n thereof_o in_o good_a work_n second_o they_o serve_v to_o be_v sign_n and_o pledge_n of_o our_o election_n justification_n 2_o sanctification_n and_o of_o our_o future_a glorification_n as_o we_o know_v a_o tree_n to_o live_v by_o the_o fruit_n and_o bud_n which_o it_o bring_v forth_o so_o by_o keep_v a_o continual_a course_n in_o good_a work_n a_o man_n be_v know_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o to_o have_v true_a title_n to_o all_o his_o benefit_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o apostle_n will_v man_n to_o 6_o give_v all_o diligence_n to_o make_v their_o call_n and_o election_n sure_a he_o propound_v certain_a virtue_n wherein_o they_o ought_v to_o walk_v as_o be_v the_o most_o evident_a token_n of_o election_n that_o we_o have_v in_o

that_o man_n which_o hear_v and_o receive_v the_o word_n of_o god_n with_o joy_n may_v build_v on_o a_o fandie_a foundation_n we_o must_v pray_v to_o god_n for_o this_o one_o blessing_n that_o he_o

they_o may_v see_v your_o good_a work_n and_o glorify_v your_o father_n in_o heaven_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v glorify_v you_o god_n and_o also_o cause_v other_o to_o do_v the_o same_o first_o here_o we_o may_v see_v what_o to_o judge_v of_o the_o work_v do_v by_o papist_n use_n it_o be_v common_o think_v that_o they_o abound_v with_o good_a work_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o their_o best_a work_n be_v sin_n before_o god_n for_o they_o fail_v principal_o in_o the_o main_a end_n of_o well-doing_n which_o be_v to_o glorify_v god_n in_o the_o good_a of_o man_n for_o a_o papist_n do_v a_o good_a work_n according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o their_o religion_n do_v it_o to_o satisfy_v god_n justice_n for_o the_o temporal_a 21._o punishment_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o to_o merit_v heaven_n by_o it_o and_o so_o err_v quite_o from_o the_o right_a end_n of_o a_o good_a work_n respect_v therein_o his_o own_o good_a and_o nothing_o at_o all_o the_o good_a of_o other_o second_o hereby_o we_o may_v see_v for_o ourselves_o how_o far_o we_o come_v short_a in_o our_o good_a work_n for_o common_o we_o fail_v in_o the_o main_a end_n thereof_o man_n spend_v their_o day_n and_o strength_n in_o labour_n and_o toil_n but_o all_o be_v for_o themselves_o for_o their_o own_o pleasure_n their_o own_o profit_n and_o preferment_n without_o respect_n to_o the_o good_a of_o their_o brethren_n now_o all_o such_o action_n wherein_o man_n seek_v themselves_o only_o and_o not_o god_n glory_n in_o the_o good_a of_o other_o be_v sinful_a in_o the_o doer_n though_o otherwise_o good_a in_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v learn_v in_o all_o our_o action_n to_o aim_v at_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n in_o the_o good_a of_o man_n ii_o point_n thus_o we_o see_v what_o a_o good_a work_n be_v now_o follow_v the_o difference_n work_n of_o good_a work_n good_a work_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n first_o those_o which_o god_n in_o his_o word_n have_v direct_o command_v as_o part_n of_o his_o worship_n 1_o such_o be_v prayer_n thanksgiving_a receive_v the_o sacrament_n hear_v the_o word_n and_o relieve_v the_o poor_a and_o these_o be_v the_o more_o principal_a kind_n of_o good_a work_n the_o second_o sort_n be_v action_n indifferent_a sanctify_v 2_o by_o the_o word_n and_o prayer_n and_o do_v to_o god_n glory_n as_o to_o eat_v to_o drink_v and_o such_o like_a for_o howsoever_o in_o themselves_o they_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a be_v thing_n neither_o command_v nor_o forbid_v and_o therefore_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o thing_n themselves_o may_v with_o good_a conscience_n be_v either_o use_v or_o refuse_v yet_o because_o god_n have_v command_v the_o manner_n how_o they_o must_v be_v use_v namely_o by_o be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o 5._o word_n of_o god_n and_o prayer_n and_o the_o end_n thereof_o to_o wit_n god_n glory_n therefore_o when_o they_o be_v so_o use_v they_o become_v good_a work_n upon_o this_o difference_n of_o good_a work_n observe_v the_o largeness_n thereof_o how_o far_o they_o extend_v there_o be_v three_o estate_n ordain_v of_o god_n the_o church_n the_o common_a wealth_n and_o the_o family_n and_o for_o the_o preservation_n of_o they_o there_o be_v sundry_a calling_n require_v some_o whereof_o be_v prescribe_v of_o god_n and_o other_o leave_v to_o be_v appoint_v by_o man_n as_o all_o trade_n and_o such_o like_a now_o not_o only_o the_o calling_n appoint_v by_o god_n and_o the_o duty_n thereof_o be_v good_a work_n but_o even_o all_o inferior_a calling_n appoint_v by_o man_n for_o the_o good_a of_o these_o three_o estate_n and_o the_o duty_n thereof_o be_v they_o never_o so_o base_a if_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o prayer_n and_o do_v to_o god_n glory_n be_v good_a work_n example_n a_o man_n be_v call_v to_o be_v a_o shepherd_n and_o do_v willing_o accept_v thereof_o now_o though_o the_o call_n be_v but_o base_a and_o mean_a yet_o the_o work_n thereof_o be_v do_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o master_n be_v good_a work_n yea_o as_o good_a in_o their_o kind_n as_o the_o best_a work_n of_o the_o high_a calling_n and_o the_o same_o may_v be_v say_v of_o all_o lawful_a calling_n and_o the_o work_v thereof_o be_v they_o never_o so_o base_a for_o god_n judge_v not_o the_o goodness_n of_o the_o work_n by_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o matter_n whereabout_o it_o be_v occupy_v but_o by_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o doer_n this_o point_n must_v be_v learned_a for_o the_o papist_n conceit_n do_v stick_v fast_o in_o man_n heart_n that_o there_o be_v no_o good_a work_n but_o the_o build_n of_o church_n and_o hospital_n the_o mend_n of_o high_a way_n give_v of_o large_a alm_n etc._n etc._n but_o we_o must_v learn_v that_o every_o action_n of_o a_o man_n lawful_a call_n do_v in_o obedience_n to_o god_n for_o the_o good_a of_o man_n be_v a_o good_a work_n before_o god_n and_o therefore_o we_o must_v so_o walk_v every_o one_o of_o we_o in_o our_o calling_n that_o the_o duty_n thereof_o may_v be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n again_o this_o will_v hence_o follow_v that_o in_o these_o our_o day_n we_o may_v as_o well_o abound_v in_o such_o work_n as_o be_v good_a indeed_o as_o the_o papist_n do_v in_o their_o superstitious_a thus_o much_o of_o the_o difference_n of_o good_a work_n iii_o point_n now_o more_o particular_o in_o the_o text_n be_v further_o set_v down_o 1_o
