4 How two places must be understood which the Papists abuse, to confirm their error: and except they take that sense, they offend two ways against the common doctrine of the scripture, the very words of Ecclesiasticus are these:1 [Greek or Hebrew]. He shall make place to every mercy: and every man shall find according to his works. In the words of the Apostle is nothing else, but that such sacrifices do please and are acceptable to god.2 And albeit Christ sayeth, that to him that hath, shall be given: and that the faithful servant shall be set over many things, that hath bin faithful over little: yet he showeth that the increase of the faithful are the gifts of his free goodness.
