As for example, if we have any good zeal, if […] against our own vices, or if we walk in the obedience of […] whence cometh it? Even of this wellspring, that he purposed […] is to wit, that he chose us aforehand. Then let us consider, […] praise thereof is dew unto him, and let us not defraud him of […]. For although we lived as perfectly as Angels: yet if we […] fond as too think that the same cometh of our own free […] selfmoving: we miss the chief point of all. For whereto […] our good works, but to glorify God withal? And if we take […] spring of our selves, we see they be marred by so doing, […] turned into vices, so as they be nought else than stark […] Ye see then that the thing whereat S. Paul aimed in this […] too bring us always back too Gods free election, that we […] know how all goodness dependeth thereupon.
