Object. 2. That which is not in the Scripture, is not to be taught or retained. That we are justified by faith only is not in the Scripture: Therefore it is not to be retained. Ans. To the Major we say, that which is not in the Scripture, neither in words▪ nor in sense, is not to be retained: But, that we are justified by faith only, is contained in Scripture, as touching the sense thereof; for we are said to be justified freely by grace, without the works of the law, 1without the law, not of works, not of our selves, not of any righteousness which we have done; by faith without merit. Also the blood of Christ is said to cleanse us from all sin: And these are all one, To be justified by faith alone, and, To be justified by the blood and merit of Christ apprehended by faith, only by receiving and believing, deserving nothing by faith, or other works. Now the reasons why we are to retain against the Papists the exclusive particle [only] have been heretofore declared and enlarged.
