Obj. 10. It is said that Phinehas work and deed was imputed unto him for righteousness: Therefore good works justify: 1Ans. This is a mis-construing of the phrase used in the place alleged. For the meaning of it is, that God approved of this work, but not that he was justified by that work:2 For, by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight.

Object. 11. Ten crowns are part of an hundred crowns in payment of a debt: Therefore good works may be some part of our justice before God. Ans. There is a dissimilitude in these examples: For, 1. Ten crowns are a whole part of an hundred crowns, and being ten times multiplied make up the whole sum of the debt: but our works are not a whole and perfect part, but an imperfect part of the obedience we owe; and being multiplied an hundred thousand times, yet never make any perfect obedience. 2. Ten Crowns may be accepted by the Creditor for a part of the debt due unto him, because there may be some hope of payment of the rest: but good works are not accepted by God as a part of our justice, because there is no hope of full payment to be made by us; and all imperfection or defect is condemned by the law.
