XXXI.
Moreover if we consider all the causes of our salvation, we shall find the grace of God to shine bright in every one of them, excluding the righteousness of our works. For the author of our salvation is God, the Father, Son & holy Ghost. The Father first, in that aof his mere bgrace & free love, he sent his son unto us, to redeem us from the dominion of the devil. Next the Son, in that of his free lovec towards us, he became dobedient to his father unto the death of the cross, and so hath satisfied ethe justice of God for us. Lastly the holy Ghost, in that he giveth us ffaith, whereby we apprehend the justice which Christ hath purchased for us by his ⟨p. 82⟩death. The end also, the Apostle saith, is the gmanifestation of Gods justice, and the praise of his hgoodness.
