Here then we learn, that no outward privilege can avail us; nor any o•• ward means of salvation be effectual or fruitful to our good, out of their right use in faith and repentance. Rom. 2.25. Circumcision is nothing, 1unless thou keep the law. Gal. 6. Neither Circumcision availeth, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. Judas had many great privileges, and yet perished. This made Paul, though he had many privileges, to account them all as dung, in regard of the knowledge of Christ, Phil. 3.8. We must not then content our selves with the means of salvation in the Word and Sacraments, but use them aright in faith and repentance; otherwise they (being out of their holy use enjoyed) shall turn to our destruction and greater condemnation, as they did to this people who (notwithstanding them) were destroyed.

This made Paul, though he had many priuiledges, to account them all as dung, in regard of the knowledge of Christ, Phil. 3.8. We must not then content our selues with the meanes of saluation in the Word and Sacraments, but vse them aright in faith and repentance; otherwise they (being out of their holy vse enioyed) shall turne to our destruction and greater condemnation, as they did to this people who (notwithstanding them) were destroied.
