2. Not pleading of merit, as if he had deserved any thing of God; so the Pharisee speaks of his good works, Luk. 18. 11. It is not to such a purpose as if we could challenge a reward as a due debt upon any good that we have done.
But Positively, How then may we make mention of our Qualifications?
1. We may mention what is wrought in us for Gods glory; surely however we humble our selves we must not belie his bounty. To be always complaining of spiritual evils, it doth not argue a good temper of soul: Psal. 116. 7. Return to thy rest, O my soul, for the Lord hath dealt bountifully with thee. We may own the Lords bounty, and take notice what good we have done to the glory of his grace: Not I but the grace of God which was with me, 1 Cor. 15. 10.
