Augustine saith, we do gather that a man can not be justified by the precepts 1of good living, that is, not by yt law of works, but by that law of faith: not by the letter but by the sprite, not by the merits of works, but by free grace. 234. col. 12

Augustine saith, S. Paul affirmeth that a man may be justified by faith, without any works going before justification, but when a man is justified by faith, how can he but work well, though that he before working nothing righteously, is now come to the justification of faith, not by merits of good works, but by the grace of God, the which grace in him now can not be Idle, seeing that now through love he worketh well. And if he depart out of this world after that he believeth, the justification of faith abideth by him, not by his works going before justification (for by his merits came he not unto that justification, but by grace) nor by his works that follow justification, for he is not suffered to live in this life. Wherefore Paul and James are not contrary, for Paul speaketh of the works that go before faith and James speaketh of the works that follow the justification of faith. 238. col. 1
