1. [The Scripture saith, Jam. 2. that a man is not Justified by Faith only; but you say, that he is Justified by Faith alone, and by Faith only, which is found in no place of Scripture: and do you not then resist the Scriptures?]
Answ. 1. We believe both the words of Paul and James. that a man is Justified by Faith without the Deeds of the Law, and saved through Faith—not of works, lest any man should boast, Rom. 3. 28. Ephes. 2. 8, 9. and also that a man is Justified by works, and not by Faith only, Jam. 2 Did not this Learned man know that we believe all the Bible? why then should he charge us with denying that which we retain, and publicly read in our Churches as the word of God? Did he think that we set so much by Luther's, or any mans writings, as by the Bible? 2. But if he can prove that we understand not these words aright, he should have evinced it better then by the use of the words [Faith alone] For our Churches by [Faith alone] do profess openly to mean no more then Paul doth by [Faith without works] And can they find fault with Paul? 3. Indeed we are not all agreed upon the fittest Notion of the interest of Faith and works in our Justification: but our difference is more in words and notions then matter, of which see my Disput. of Justification. 4. And. why do you not quarrel with your own Cardinal Contarenus de Justif. and others of your own, that join with us in the doctrine of Justification.
