For as the calling unto Christ, and justification in Christ is wholly of free gift, ¹and not of our own works: so likewise we understand, that the whole predestination of Saints is freely given, ²because it is wrought in Christ, and for Christ is put in execution: that no man might glory in himself, but he which glorieth, should glory in the Lord.

For as the calling vnto Christ, and iustification in Christ is wholie of free gift, ¹and not of our owne vvorkes: so likewise we vnderstand, that the whole praedestination of Saintes is freelie giuen, ²because it is wrought in Christ, and for Christ is put in execution: that no man might glorie in himselfe, but he vvhich glorieth, should glorie in the Lord.
