An other is this, God giveth not the promises that are in Christ for bodily 1service, but of his mercy only, unto his own glory. Yea and of the fathers goodness do all natural children receive. Ask a little boy, who gave him his gay coat, he answereth, his father. Ask him why, and he answereth, because he is his father and loveth him, and because he is his son. Ask him whether his father love him, and he saith yea. Ask him how he knoweth it and he saith, because he giveth me this or that. Ask him whether he love his father, he saith yea.

And contrariwise your righteousness or justifying which standeth, as your faith doth, with all wickedness, springeth out of your holy works which ye do to no man solely save unto painted posts.
