The right way (yea, and the only 1way) to understand the Scripture unto salvation is, that we earnestly and above all thing search for the profession of our Baptism, or covenants made between GOD and us. As for an ensample. Christ saith Mat. v. Happy are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Lo, here GOD hath made a covenant with us, to be merciful unto us, if we will be merciful one to an other, so that the man which showeth mercy unto his neighbour: may be bold to trust in GOD for mercy, at all needs. And contrariwise, judgement without mercy, shall be to him that 2showeth not mercy. So now, if he that showeth no mercy, trust in GOD for mercy, his faith is carnal and worldly, and but vain presumption. For God hath promised mercy only to the merciful.
