For when he saith, he that doth iustice, is iust, it is all one as if he had said, when one doth good works, it is a signe that he is iust, because none can do good works, vnlesse hee be iust. For as a tree can∣not bring forth good fruit, vnlesse it first be good; euen so cannot any man do good works vnles he first be the child of god. The reason is euident, bicause the effect must folow, & not go before the cause. For as saint Austen grauely saith;* 1.1 Opera sequuntur iustificatum, non praecedunt iustificandum. Works follow him that is alreadie iustified, but they goe not before him that is to be iustified. I say secondly, that hee that doth iustice, is iust by [ 2] inherent iustice, but imperfectly, as is alreadie prooued.
