Finally that many dispute, because 1God hath promised to reward our deeds in heaven, that our deeds deserve heaven: and because he promiseth to show mercy to the merciful, that with our deeds we deserve mercy, and because he promiseth forgiveness of sins to them that forgive, y• our deeds deserve forgiveness of sin, and so justify us. I answer: first there is enough spoken thereof in other places, so that to them that have read that, it is superstitious to rehearse the matter again. Furthermore the argument is nought and holdeth by no rule. See ye not that the father and mother have more right to the child and to all it can do, than to an Ox or a Cow. It is their flesh and blood, nourished up with their labour and cost. The life of it, and the maintenance, and continuance thereof is their benefit, so that it is not able to recompense that it oweth to father and mother by a thousand parts.
Finally that many dispute, because 1God hath promised to rewarde our deedes in heauen, that our deedes deserue heauen: and because he promiseth to shew mercy to ye merciful, that with our deedes we deserue mercy, and because he promiseth forgeuenes of sins to thē yt forgeue, y• our deedes deserue forgeuenes of sinne, and so iustifie vs. I aunswere: first there is inough spoken thereof in other places, so that to them that haue read that, it is superstuous to rehearse the matter agayne. Furthermore the argument is nought and holdeth by no rule. See ye not yt the father and mother haue more right to the childe and to all it can do, than to an Oxe or a Cowe. It is their fleshe and bloud, nourished vp wyth their labour and cost. The life of it, and the maintenaunce, and continuaunce therof is their benefite, so that it is not able to recompence that it oweth to father and mother by a thousand partes.
