Wherein do our good works fail of Gods Justice?
Wherein doe our good workes faile of Gods Iustice?
Partly in the instrumental causes, from which they proceed; and partly in the final cause, or end, whereunto they aim.
Partly in the instrumentall causes, from which they proceed; and partly in the finall cause, or end, whereunto they aime.
What are the instrumental causes hindering the perfection of our works?
What are the instrumentall causes hindering the perfection of our workes?
First, our understanding, in that the work is not done with knowledge absolute and throughly perfect. Secondly, in that our remembrance is enfeebled, and doth not so fully retain that which the understanding conceived. Thirdly, in that the will and affections are short of their duty. Last of all, in that the body is not so apt and nimble for the execution of good things, as is required.
