There are also amongest men recompenses,1 when one office is recompensed with an other office. These also are voluntary, neither can they be demanded by judicial action, and therefore they are counted among gifts. But we have nothing which we can give unto him.2 Wherefore if we attempt to bring any thing unto him, we render unto him his own. And therefore there is no respect of merit to be referred in us toward him. Wherefore God giveth liberally, no law compelling him thereunto.

1But it may be demanded, whether such gifts may be revoked? Why should they not? when as the gifts of men also are sometimes revoked, as it is in the Code De revocatione donacionum. First, if they have conditions annexed to them, which have not been performed. And after that manner undoubtedly God gave the land of Canaan to the Children of Israel, namely that they should worship him, not only in ceremonies, but also in good manners and holiness. But seeing this condition was not performed, God justly revoked his gift, and led them away captive, and gave the land unto the Babylonians, Assyrians, Egyptians, and Romans.
