1. What good works are.
Good works are such as are done according to the prescript rule of Gods law, with a true faith to the glory of God only. Three things are here to be considered: 1. The conditions and circumstances required for the making a good work. 2. The difference between the works of the regenerate and the unregenerate. 3. In what sort the moral works of the wicked are sins.
