V. Although we be not justified by our works: yet others are ofttimes edified thereby and saved.

V. Although we bee not iustified by our workes: yet others are oftimes edified thereby and saued.

Now this also we add, that as of the fruits of trees, though the trees themselves live not by the same, yet others, namely earthly creatures and men, are fed and their life maintained by the same: so although we by our own good works be not justified, yet others thereby are not a little edified, ¹and stirred up ⟨p. 166⟩both to glorify God, and also by our example to seek after the true righteousness and life in Christ, and are so saved: ²The Apostle also saying, that he magnified his office among the gentiles (namely by his diligence, and holiness of life) that he might provoke them of his flesh to follow him, & might save some of them. ³And in another place. Sometime by the believing wife (living godly and holily, and doing her duty) the unbelieving husband is saved. And to Timothy, ⁴if he look to himself, that is, do the duty of a bishop, he shall save himself and others.

Now this also we add, that as of the fruits of trees, though the trees themselues liue not by the same, yet others, namely earthly creatures and men, are fedde and their life maintained by the same: so although wee by our owne good works bee not iustified, yet others thereby are not a little edified,
