But you say, Good Works have their reward: and therefore, ye say, This Heresy may not so escape. Whether Good Works shall be rewarded, or no, it was no part of Our question. For we undoubtedly believe the words, that are written by S. John, 1Opera illorum sequuntur illos: Their Works follow after them: We believe the words, that Christ saith to his Disciples, He, that giveth a Cup of cold Water to any of these little Ones for my sake, shall not lose his reward. We believe that,2 that S. Paul saith, Your Work shall not be in vain in the Lord. We grant, Good Works have their Reward: But the same Reward standeth in Mercy, and Favour, and not in Duty.
But you saie, Good VVoorkes haue theire rewarde: and therefore, ye saie, This Heresie maie not so esc•pe. Whether Good Woorkes shalbe rewarded, or no, it was no parte of Our question. For wee vndoubtedly beleue the wordes, that are written by S. Iohn, 1Opera illorum sequuntur illos: Theire VVoorkes folowe after them: Wee beleeue the woordes, that Christe saithe to his Disciples, He, that geeueth a Cuppe of colde Water to any of these litle Ones for my sake, shal not lose his rewarde. We beleeue that,2 that S. Paule saithe, Your Woorke shal not be in vaine in the Lorde. Wee graunte, Good Woorkes haue theire Rewarde: But the same Rewarde standeth in Mercie, and Fauoure, and not in Dewtie.
