2. Denying the presence of them in the person justified. And truly, 1this is so dangerous, that I know not how charity can excuse it: It is such a naevus, that ubera charitatis cannot tegere, cover it. For, thus saith the Author expressly, speaking of that of Paul, Therefore we conclude, a man is justified without the deeds of the Law: Here (saith he) the Apostle doth not only exclude works from having any power operative to concur in the laying iniquities upon Christ, but excludes all manner of works men can do, to be present and existent in persons, when God doth justify them. And he instanceth of a general pardon for thieves and traitors: Now (saith he) one may take the pardon as well as another. And so speaking upon that place [He hath received gifts for men, even for the rebellious.] he concludes, that therefore though a man do rebel actually from time to time, and do practise this rebellion; yet, though this person do thus, the hatefulness thereof is laid upon Christ: Is not this such a doctrine that must needs please an ungodly heart?
