11. It taketh away the glory due to God in this great work of Justification. 1If you have not meat or drink but by God, shall you have pardon of sin without him? Abraham believed, and gave God glory: We are apt to account believing no glory to God; but could we mortify our corruptions more and more, could we exhaust and spend our selves, yet this is no more to give glory to God, then when we believe. Now, it is good to possess Christians with this principle, To believe in Christ, is to give glory to Christ: we naturally would think, to go far on pilgrimages, to macerate our bodies, were likelier ways for our Salvation; but this would be mans glory more then Gods glory: Therefore ⟨p. 27⟩how did that wretched Monk, dying, blasphemously say, Redde mihi aeternam vitam, quam debes, Pay me eternal life, which thou owest?
