But by the name of good works, ¹we understand all those actions, which are done by men ⟨p. 164⟩regenerate, after the rule of Gods will revealed in his word, and by a lively faith in Christ, ²and a pure heart through the holy ghost: For, ³as every thing which is not of faith is sin: so all things which are of faith, and so out of a pure heart, and good conscience must needs be good works: wherefore we do not think, that those deeds can be numbered among good works, and acceptable to God, ⁴which are done of the ungodly without faith, and without the word of God, ⁵and not through the guiding of the holy spirit: howsoever they may carry a show of great piety and service of God.

But by the name of good workes, ¹we vnderstand all those actions, which are done by men ⟨p. 164⟩
