Obiect. The Scripture doeth often affirme that we our selues do worship God, keepe righteousenesse, and obey the Law: how should these things ⟨p. 85⟩be attributed to vs, vnlesse there were a certaine communicating of our industrie with the power of God.
An. The Saints observe righteousness, when they do willingly follow the Spirit which draweth them. For when God erecteth his kingdom in them, he bridleth their will by his Spirit, that it may not be carried with wandering lusts,1 that it may be inclined unto holiness: least it faint, he confirmeth it by the power of his Spirit.
