Wretched creatures which will not receive the Lord, when he comes to their door. Christ saith; Take for nothing, and they 1say no, we will not take, but buy. Vile, base, miserable Man, disdain to take Grace of God without satisfaction, but they will cope with the Lord, and give him so many Pilgrimages, fast so many days, hear so many Masses, and pay so many Works for it, until they have done as much good as they have done evil. Our sins are infinite, & God is infinite: but our Works are finite in number & measure? Therefore be content with Josephs Brethren, to take your money again, and say that you have Corn for nothing, 2that is, you are saved for nothing, or else when you say, I believe the remission of sins, you lie unto God, because you do not believe the remission of sins, but satisfaction for sins, like the Papists.
