But the other five Assertions of the Apostle, together with the Answers of the Adversaries, do follow in this order.
3 Assertion. Rom. 4. If Abraham was justified by the Works of the Law, he hath whereof to glory, but not before God. For what says the Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was imputed to him for 1Righteousness. To him that worketh, the Reward is not reckoned according to Grace, but according to Debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth in him that justifies the ungodly, Faith is imputed unto him for Righteousness. As David also declareth the blessedness of the man, to whom the Lord imputeth Righteousness without Works. And likewise Rom. 11. If it is by grace, then it is not of works; and if it is of works, then it is not of grace.
