MART. 26. The like transposition of wordes is in some of your Bibles (Heb. 2. v. 9.) thus. We see IESVS crowned with glorie and honour, which was a litle inferior to the Angels, through the suffering of death.

for his suffering death, and so by his death merited his glorie. But by your translation, he saith that Christ was made inferiour to Angels by his suffering death, that is (saith Beza) For to suffer death: and taking it so, that he was made inferiour to Angels, that he might die, then the other sense is cleane exclu∣ded, that for suffering death he was crowned with glorie: and this is one place among other, whereby it may very well be ga∣thered that some of you thinke that Christ him selfe did not merite his owne glorie and exaltation. So obstinatly are you set against merites and meritorious workes. To the which purpose also you take away mans free will, as hauing no habilitie to worke toward his owne saluation.
FVLK. 26. Whether we say, Christ was crowned for his suffering, or Christ was made inferiour to the An∣gels through his suffering, the sense of either of both is good and godly, and may stande with the place, neither doth the one of them exclude the other: although but one only can be the sense of the place. And if this be the place, by which you may gather, that some of vs thinke, that Christ merited not his owne glorie, it is not worth a straw. We hold that Christ for him selfe needed not to merite, because he was the Lorde of glorie, but that he merited for vs, to be exalted in our nature, for our sal∣uation, it is so farre off that we deny, that our whole comfort resteth in his merites, and in his glorie, which he hath deserued for vs, we hope to be glorified for euer. When you make your transition to the next chapter, you say, we take away mans free wil, as hauing none abi∣litie to worke, by which it seemeth, that you doe not onely allowe to man the freedome of his will, but also power to worke whatsoeuer he will: so that he shall not only haue a free will, but also a strength by the same to worke towardes his owne saluation.
