S. Augustine saithe, Non sunt contrariae duorum Apostolorum Sententiae,1 Pauli, & Jacobi: Cùm dicit Paulus, Justificari hominem sine Operibus: & Jacobus dicit, inanem esse Fidem sine Operibus. Quia Paulus loquitur de Operibus, quae Fidem praecedunt: Jacobus de ijs, quae Fidem sequntur: The sayings of the two Apostles, Paul, and James are not contrary, where as Paul saith, A man is Justified without Works: and James saith, Faith without Works is in vain. For Paul speaketh of the Works that go before Faith: James speaketh of the Works, that follow after Faith.

If M. Harding shall think, S. Augustine's authority herein is not sufficient, Thomas of Aquine will avouch the same. His words be these: 1Jacobus hic loquitur de Operibus sequentibus Fidem: quae dicuntur Justificare, non secundum quod Justificare dicitur Justitiae infusio: sed secundum quod dicitur Justitiae Exercitatio, vel Ostensio, vel Consummatio. Res enim dicitur fieri, quando perficitur, vel innotescit: James in this place speaketh of such works, as follow Faith: which works are said to Justify, not as Justification is the procuring of Righteousness: but in that it is an Exercise, or a showing, or a Perfecting of Righteousness. For we say, A thing is done, when it is perfected, or known to be done.
