In the 3. cap.1 Rom. where he entreateth upon this sentence, Where is then thy glorying? he now seemeth to come nearer unto the mind of Saint Paul: he granteth this exclusive particle, that Men by faith only are justified: and he allegeth the thief upon the cross, and the women mentioned by S. Luk cap. 28. Thy faith hath saved thee. But after declaring these things, he seemeth thus too mean, that a man at the beginning doeth obtain remission of sins by faith only. Afterwards that he is just through other virtues, like as he sayeth afterwards: Faith is reputed for righteousness unto him which is converted, but afterwards righteousness is reckoned ⟨p. 23⟩unto righteousness.
