11 The third kind of the works of God we call that which is proper unto the saints; for thereby he most mercifully bringeth many things to pass in them: 1for he reigneth, he liveth, and he worketh in us both to will and to perform. Otherwise in nature we be certain barren trees, we are blind, we will no good things. The judgement is corrupted, the will and choice is corrupt in those dregs of original sin: but God, by his spirit, fashioneth his chosen anew. We have from the beginning a nature given according to the similitude of God, whereunto should be agreeable, to will, to choose, to do these things and those things. But in that we can not do good of our selves, it hath proceeded of corruption: but in that we will rightly, and do serve God by an obedience begun, it is of the supernatural grace of God. Wherefore the first kind of Gods works, which belongeth to the universal providence, serveth not to the question now in hand. The second kind of working and the third belong unto this.

Otherwise in nature we be certeine barren trées, we are blind, we will no good things. The iudgement is corrupted, the will and choise is corrupt in those dregs of originall sin: but God, by his spirit, fashioneth his chosen anew. We haue from the beginning a nature giuen according to the similitude of God, wherevnto should be agréeable, to will, to choose, to doo these things and those things. But in that we can not doo good of our selues, it hath procéeded of corruption: but in that we will rightlie, and doo serue God by an obedience begun, it is of the supernaturall grace of God. Wherefore the first kind of Gods works, which belongeth to the vniuersall prouidence, serueth not to the question now in hand. The second kind of working and the third belong vnto this.
