But when I have apprehended Christ by faith, and through him am dead to the Law, justified from sin, delivered from ⟨image 6⟩death, the Devil and Hell; then I do good works, I love God, I give thanks to him, I exercise charity towards my neighbour; But this charity or works following, do neither form nor adorn my faith; but my faith formeth and adorneth charity; For this is the victory that overcometh the World, even our Faith. 1 John 5.4.
But when I have apprehended Christ by faith, and through him am dead to the Law, justified from sinne, delivered from ⟨image 6⟩death, the Devill and Hell; then I doe good workes, I love God, I give thankes to him, I exercise charity towards my neighbour; But this charity or workes following, doe neither forme nor adorne my faith; but my faith formeth and adorneth charity; For this is the victorie that overcommeth the World, even our Faith. 1 John 5.4.
Whilst Christ is the Law, he is also liberty, whilst he is sin, he is righteousness, and whilst he is death, he is life; For in that he suffered the Law to accuse him, sin to condemn him, and death to devour him, he abolished the Law, he condemned sin, he destroyed death, he justified and saved me.
Whilest Christ is the Law, he is also liberty, whilest hee is sinne, he is righteousnesse, and whilest he is death, he is life; For in that hee suffered the Law to accuse him, sinne to condemne him, and death to devoure him, hee abolished the Law, he condemned sinne, he destroyed death, he justified and saved mee.
