6 The better that this doctrine may appear, he assigneth •he other part of this Chapter to this one thing, to show what it is, or wherein consisteth the remedy of Gods grace, whereby the corruptness of our nature is both amended and healed.1 For hereby it doth better appear, what our neediness is, if on the contrary part we see what it is that God bestoweth upon us when he helpeth us. But there is no doubt, but the God in the beginning will both begin and also perform every good work in us, that no piece, be it never so little, can be given to man.
