1The Lord, saith Augustine, is faithful which hath made himself debtor to us, not by receiving any thing of us, but by promising all things to us.
1The Lord, saith Augustine, is faithfull which hath made himselfe debter to vs, not by receiuing any thing of vs, but by promising al things to vs.
- 1August. Psal. 32 & .109
18 He answereth to three other places, the first place speaketh not of true faith, & so it belongeth to this matter: the second doth not so give the chief place to charity, as though it should be more meritorious to justification, (for this is not due to faith according to the dignity of work, but only to the mercy of God, and the merits of Christ.) The third doeth both yield to charity the bond of perfection in another sense, and doth make nothing for them howsoever they take it.
