§. 15.
Mr Bl. IT is often tendered and Justification not always wrought, and so disabled from the office of an instrument, by Keckerman in his Comment on his first Canon concerning an instrument. As soon as the instrument serves not the principal agent, so soon it loseth the nature of an instrument. He instanceth in an horse which obeyeth not the reins of his rider, but grows refractory: then he ceaseth to be an instrument for travel. A sword is not an instrument of slaughter, where it slays not: nor an axe an instrument to h•w, when it cuts not. Neither is the Gospel an instrument of Justification, where it justifies not.
