Salvation (saith he) is not a business of our working and doing, it was done by Christ with the Father. All our work is no work of salvation, but in salvation. We here receive all, not by doing any thing, that we may receive more, but doing because we receive so much, because we do not that we may be saved. And yet we are to do as much as if we were to be saved, by what we do, because we should do as much for what is done already for us, and to our hands, as if we were to receive it for what we did our selves.

Salvation (saith he) is not a businesse of our working and doing, it was done by Christ with the Father. All our worke is no worke of salvation, but in salvation. Wee here receive all, not by doing any thing, that we may receive more, but doing because we receive so much, because we doe not that wee may be saved. And yet we are to doe as much as if we were to be saved, by what we doe, because we should doe as much for what is done already for us, and to our hands, as if wee were to receive it for what we did our selves.
