2. What work thou doest for God, God he first works it in thee; so that thou labourest for him of his own, and yet he rewards it.
3. What thou doest for him, it's accompanied with much evil and many imperfections. Bona meaneque mea sunt, neque purè bona sunt. There is four leaven still abiding in thee.
4. Thou hast formerly been a servant to Satan, done his work; so that God might damn thee upon the old score, though thou wert now able to do all things perfectly.
5. Whatsoever thou hast done, is but thy duty: God need not reward thee, or might have bestowed a less reward.
