The wicked albeit they heap up the riches of the world, they can call nothing theirs: but rather they get them by stealth, because they use them with the curse of God. And it is ⟨p. 53⟩great comfort to the godly in their poverty, that though they live poorly, yet they steal nothing from any: but they receive their lawful commons or allowance at the hand of their heavenly father, until they see the full possession of their inheritance, when all creatures shall serve for their glory. For to this end both earth and heaven shall be renewed, that according to their measure they might partly serve to illustrate the kingdom of God.

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise is made of none effect.

15 For the Law causeth wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
