Yea, let them tell me, when they do any thing so in the love of God, and their Neighbour, but that they had need to crie: Remitte nobis debita nostra, Forgive us our sins. 1So far are we off from satisfying. Doth not Christ say:2 When you have done all things that I have commanded you, say; that you be but unprofitable servants? Put nothing to my word, saith God.3 Yes, works of supererogation, (yea, superabomination) say they. Whatsoever things are true (saith the Apostle S. Paul) whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things pertain to love, whatsoever things are ⟨p. 12⟩of good report, if there be any virtue, or if there be any praise: have you them in your mind, and do them, and the God of peace shall be with you. Beloved, this lesson well regarded, would pull us from popish Satisfactory works, which do deface Christs treasures and Satisfaction.
