Hereof cometh it, that faith only justifieth, maketh righteous, and fulfilleth the law, for it bringeth the spirit through Christs deservings, the spirit bringeth lust, looseth the hart, maketh him free, setteth him at liberty, and giveth him strength to work the deeds of the law with love, even as the law requireth, then at the last out of the same faith, so working in the hart, spring all good works by their own accord. That meaneth he in the third Chapter, for after he hath cast away 1the works of the law, so that he soundeth as though he would break, and disannul the law through faith, he answereth to that might be laid against, saying, we destroy not the law through faith, but maintain, further, or stablish the law through faith, that is to say, we fulfil the law thorough faith.
