An argument is gathered for works of supererogation, 1out of the Samaritans words, whatsoever thou shalt bestow more, or as it is by them translated,2 whatsoever thou shalt supererogate. This argument (saith Master Rainolds) followeth well enough, and is Saint Augustins conclusion, to prove that Saint Paul did supererogate, when he might have received all duties for preaching the Gospel, but would not. That men may remit some part of their due, and do more towards men outwardly, then they can of necessity be urged to do, no man will deny: and thus may one man be said to supererogate towards another: but what maketh this for works of supererogation towards God, who requireth both inward and outward ⟨p. 391⟩obedience of us in most absolute manner?
