By this distinction of Legal and Evangelical justice, we learn the difference of the Law and the Gospel. The Law promiseth life upon the condition of our works, or obedience performed according to the tenor of the law. The Gospel requires not the condition of merit, or of any work to be done on our parts in the case of our justification, but only prescribes us to believe in Christ ⟨p. 72⟩and to rest on his obedience, as our justice before the Tribunal of God. Secondly by this we learn, that the church of Rome and the learned therein, are ignorant of the right difference between the Law and the Gospel. For they teach, that the righteousness, which stands in our inherent virtues and works done by us, is required for justification as well in the Gospel as in the Law: and that the difference lies only in this, that the law is more dark, and without grace: the Gospel more plain, having also the grace of God annexed unto it, to enable us in our own persons to do that which both law and Gospel require. But this is indeed to make a confusion of the law and Gospel, and to abolish the distinction of the twofold justice before named: which may not be.

By this distinction of Legall and Euangelicall iustice, we learne the difference of the Law and the Gospel. The Law promiseth life vpon the condition of our workes, or obedience performed according to the tenour of the law. The Gospell requires not the condition of merit, or of any work to be done on our parts in the case of our iustification, but onely prescribes vs to beleeue in Christ ⟨p. 72⟩and to rest on his obedience, as our iustice before the Tribunall of God. Secondly by this we learn, that the church of Rome and the learned therein, are ignorant of the right difference betweene the Law and the Gospel. For they teach, that the righteousnesse, which stands in our inherent vertues and workes done by vs, is required for iustification as wel in the Gospell as in the Law: and that the difference lies onely in this, that the law is more darke, and without grace: the Gospel more plaine, hauing also the grace of God annexed vnto it, to inable vs in our own persons to doe that which both law and Gospell require. But this is indeede to make a confusion of the law and Gospell, and to abolish the distinction of the twofold iustice before named: which may not be.
