14 And let us note that he speaketh of two kinds of fruit, the most delicate that be, to show us the difference, which is ⟨p. 269⟩between the appearances of virtues, ordinarily called Moral virtues, (such as they are) which a man may meet withal in them who are not regenerate, in whom god doth in some sort repress that natural wickedness which is in all, whose works notwithstanding, are without either taste or savour, (according unto that which is said, that whatsoever is without faith is sin, Rom. 14.23. and that without Jesus Christ there is nothing which can please God unto salvation) and the works of the children of God governed by the spirit of regeneration Rom. 8.9.
