And what may we think of those that would bring light & darkness, Christ and Antichrist, the Ark and Dagon together, that would reconcile us, as if it were no such great matter? Beloved, they that join works with Christ in matter of justification, err in the foundation, the very life and soul of Religion consists in this; What was the reason the Jews stumbled at this st••bling block, and were ⟨p. 68⟩never benefited by Christ? why; they set up a righteousness of their •wne which could not stand, but soon failed them. So when a man sets up a righteousness of his own, neglecting the righteousness of Christ, it is impossible he should ever be saved living and dying in that error.1
