What do I say,1 the Righteous shall be saved? he is saved already; This day is salvation come to thine house, 2(Jaith Christ to Zacheus) We are saved by faith, and are now set in heavenly places ⟨p. 102⟩together with him; 3we have a title & interest to happiness already, there remains only a passage to the Crown by good works. We do not as the Papists do, work to merit that we have not, but we do that we do in thankfulness for what we have: because we know we are in the state of salvation, therefore we will show our thankfulness to God in the course of our lives.
