And that is the cause, why we •aye with the Scripture, that faith only justifieth us, not excluding thereby all other e•terne causes, that go before faith: As grace, mercy, election, vocation,1 the death of ⟨image 105⟩Christ, &c. All which be extern causes working our salvation through faith.2 But when we say that faith only justifieth us: the meaning thereof is this, that of all internal actions, motions, or operations in man, given to him of God, there is no other that contenteth, and pleaseth God, or standeth before his judgement,3 or can help any thing to the justifying of man before him: but only this one action of faith in Christ Jesus the son of God.
