Cont. 30. What is it to be judged according to our works, or what we have done in the body?
Ans. To be Judged is the genus: To be Justified or Condemned are the Species. This openeth all the Controversy. It is not according to our works as they are congruous to the Law of Innocency or works; But as judged by the Law of Grace; Therefore it is not the same works which Paul excluded from Justification, for we shall not be judged according to them. 2. And according to them, is as much as James meaneth, when he saith, we are justified by them: It's all one, that is, the Law of Christ our Redeemer requireth sincere obedience of all that shall be saved, by his blood and merits from the condemnation of the Law of Innocency; and accordingly mens right to Christ & Salvation shall be judged of: Their right to life through Christs merits and free gift, shall be justified who were sincerely penitent believing obeyers to the end, and no others.
