The first work for fear of y• sword only. The second for reward. The third work for love freely. They look on the exceeding mercy, love & kinds which God hath showed them in Christ, and therefore love again and work freely. Heaven they take of the free gift of God through Christs deservings, and hope without all manner doubting 1that GOD according to his promise, will in this world also defend them and do all thing for them of his goodness and for Christs sake, and not for any goodness that is in them. They consent unto the law that it is holy and just, & that all men ought to do what soever God commandeth for no other cause, but because God commandeth it. And 2their great sorrow is, because that there is no strength in their members to do that which their hart lusteth to do and is a thirst to do.
