This saying also of Jeremiah is to be added: Cursed be every one that putteth his hope in man, and calleth flesh his strength. But all our things, whatsoever they be, are not without flesh. Wherefore it is not lawful for us to put confidence in them.1 And Jerome writing upon that place hath very well brought in many things, whereby may be understanded that in our works there is no regard of merit. Yea and the Papists also themselves, which are the patrons of merits, are sometimes compelled to confess that our merits are nothing at all. For on the 2. Sunday in the Advent, thus they pray: Be pacified O god with the prayers of our humility, and where help of merits do want, succour us with the aides of of thy mercy. The fathers, when in their writings they oftentimes inculcate this word of meriting, do by it signify nothing else, then to get, to obtain, and to attain to. And as many of them as have written purely, the same have detested the consideration of merits, whereof the papists so much boast. Wherefore the Israelites were not heard thorough the merit of their tears or prayers, but because by faith in Christ to come they obtained forgiveness of sins, and so by his merit only they returned into favour again with god.
This saying also of Ieremy is to be added: Cursed be euery one that putteth his hope in man, and calleth flesh his strength. But all our thinges, whatsoeuer they be, are not without flesh. Wherfore it is not lawful for vs to put confidence in them.1 And Ierome writing vpon that place hath very well brought in manye thinges, whereby may be vnderstanded that in our workes there is no regard of merite. Yea and the Papists also themselues, which ar the patrones of merites, are sometimes compelled to confesse that our merites are nothing at all. For on the 2. Sonday in the Aduēt, thus they pray: Be pacefied O god with the prayers of our humility, and wher helpe of merites do want, succor vs with the aydes of of thy mercy. The fathers, whē in theyr writings they oftentimes inculcate this word of meriting, do by it signify nothinge els, then to get, to obteine, and to atteine to. And as manye of them as haue written purelye, the same haue detested the consideration of merites, whereof the papistes so much bost. Wherfore the Israelites were not heard thoroughe the merite of their teares or prayers, but bycause by fayth in Christ to come they obteyned forgeuenes of sins, and so by his merite onely they returned into fauor againe with god.
