3. We all naturally dote upon works, and say, as the young man in the Gospel, that came to Christ, What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? But the work of works, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we are of all other the farthest from, till the Spirit of God work in us. These from our Saviours mouth, I have deducted, This is the Work of God, that ye believe in him whom he hath sent.

But the work of works, Beleeve in the Lord Iesus Christ, we are of all other the farthest from, till the Spirit of God work in us.

4. Man naturally is so proud, That he will not seek after God, saith the Psalmist, that is, (God in Christ) for no otherwise can God be approached unto; He thinks himself rich, and to need nothing, and knows not that he is poor, and blind, and miserable, wretched and naked, and therefore scorns to seek to God in Christ for wealth. He will rather make a covering of Fig-Leaves than of Christs righteousness, rather cover himself with rotten rags, than be beholding to Christ for his robe.
