§. 57. Inst. 19. Thus many separate faith and obedience; Pauls Justification by faith without the 1works of the Law, from James's Justification by works, and not by faith only, and Christs Justification by our words, Matth. 12. 37. And thus they separate free Grace and Justification from any necessary condition, and from the rewardableness of obedience, (which the Ancients called Merit): But of this at large elsewhere.
§. 57. Inst. 19. Thus many separate faith and obedience; Pauls Iustification by faith without the 1works of the Law, from Iames's Iustification by works, and not by faith only, and Christs Justification by our words, Matth. 12. 37. And thus they separate free Grace and Iustification from any necessary condition, and from the rewardableness of obedience, (which the Antients called Merit): But of this at large elsewhere.

§. 58. Inst. 20. And many separate Prudence and zeal, meekness and resolution, the wisdom of the1 Serpent, and the innocency of the Dove! yielding to no sin, and yet yielding in things lawful; maintaining our Christian liberty, and yet becoming all things to all men, if by any means we may save some.
