Because (sayeth the history) he repented. 1What is the received exposition of these kinds of speech we have before declared. But now we must mark what this meaneth which followeth: At their sorrowings. We may not think that God was reconciled or made favourable unto them by the strength and dignity of the work. For that do men obtain only by faith in our mediator Jesus Christ, to which faith in these and such like kind of speeches we must continually have a respect unto, thereby to look upon the root from whence the fruits of true repentance, and also sighings and tears are derived. Neither do we for all that deny,2 but that good works springing from faith are so acceptable unto GOD, that he rewardeth them with excellent gifts, as well outward, as also spiritual, which cometh of his goodness. So said Daniel unto the king of Babylon: By alms redeem thy sins. That is, drive away the pains and punishments, wherewith otherwise thou shalt be punished.
Bicause (sayeth the historye) he repented. 1What is the receaued exposition of these kindes of speache we haue before declared. But now we must marke what this meaneth whiche followeth: At their sorowinges. We may not thincke that God was reconciled or made fauorable vnto them by the strength and dignitye of the worke. For that do men obteyne onely by fayth in our mediatour Iesus Christ, to whiche fayth in these and such lyke kynde of speaches we must continually haue a respect vnto, therby to loke vpon the roote from whence ye fruites of true repentaunce, and also sighinges and teares are deriued. Neither do we for all that denye,2 but that good workes springyng from faith are so acceptable vnto GOD, that he rewardeth them with excellent giftes, as well outward, as also spirituall, whiche commeth of his goodnesse. So sayd Daniel vnto the kyng of Babilon: By almes redeme thy sinnes. That is, dryue awaye the paynes and punishementes, wherewith otherwise thou shalt be punished.
