Let us therefore apply our selves unto the study of good works, which are the beauty given unto the Church of God, and know we that God will begin them in us, as it is he who doth them in us, bestowing on us freely both the willing and the doing, Phil. 2.13. but by his only grace, freely bestowed in him in whom alone he accepteth of us, Ephes. 1.6. and not for any value or merit of them. For not only we have nothing but of free gift, 1. Cor 4.7. but also when we have done all, we shall be nothing but unprofitable servants to that master who hath nothing to do neither with us nor with our works, Luk. 17.10. as also the Apostle speaking of those who are most righteous saith, that everlasting life is the gift of God by Jesus Christ, Rom. 7.23.
