Now he that goeth about to quiet his conscience, and to justify him self with the law: doth but heal his wounds with fretting corrosives. And he that goeth about to purchase grace with 1ceremonies: doth but suck the ale pole to quench his thirst, in as much as the ceremonies were not given to justify the hart, but to signify the justifying, and forgiveness that is in Christs blood.

And hee that goeth aboute to purchase grace with 1ceremonies: doth but sucke the ale pole to quench his thyrst, in as much as the ceremonies were not geuen to iustifie the hart, but to signifie the iustifiyng, and forgeuenesse that is in Christes bloud.
- 1Ceremonies are not given to justify the hart, but to signify our justification by Christ.Ceremonies are not geuen to iustify the hart, but to signifie our iustificatiō by Christ.
Of the ceremonies that they justify not thou readest. Hebr. x. It is impossible that sin should be done away with the blood of Oxen, and Goats. And of 1the law thou readest. Gala. iij. If there had been a law given that could have quickened or given life: then had righteousness, or justifying come by the law in deed. Now the law not only quickeneth not the hart, but also woundeth it with conscience of sin, and ministereth death, and damnation unto her. ij. Cor. iij. So that she must needs dye and be damned, except she find other remedy. So far it is of, that she is justified, or holpen by the law.
