As in the fourth Chapter he saith; That God hath sent his Son to be a propitiation, or satisfaction for our sins: According to that which Paul ⟨p. 14⟩writeth, where he calleth Christ a merciful and faithful Priest, to purge the peoples sins.1 So that blind Buzzards, and perverse Papists they be, which yet will prate, our merits or works to satisfy for our sins, in part, or in whole, before Baptism, or after.

- 1Heb. 2.
For to omit the testimonies I brought out of John and Paul, which the blind cannot but see: I pray you remember the text out of Isaiah, which even now I rehearsed, being spoken to such as were then the people of God, and had bin a long time, but yet were fallen into grievous sins, after their adoption into the number of Gods children. It is for mine own sake (saith God) that I put away thy sins. Where is your parting of the stake now? If it be for Gods own sake, if Christ be the propitiation: then recant, except you will become Idolaters, making your works God and Christ. Say as David teacheth: Not to us Lord, not to us, but to thy name be the glory.
