ANSWER.

The Lord is content that we make vse of our good workes for the attaining and increase of glorie. Mat. 25.16.2. Cor. 9. 6. Gal. 6.8. And he requireth them also for many other good ends, [ D] Ioh. 15.8. 2. Pet. 1.10. But they may be vsed and referred to life eternall, as dispositions and causes impetrant, and not as causes properly or condignely meritorious. Also it is remarke∣able, how the Iesuit in this section, hath set fire on his owne house: for if we we owe good works vnto God by the titles of Iustice, Religion, and Gratitude, What peeping hole I pray you is left for aspiring Merit to creepe in at? The true applica∣tion whereof is, That if God exact according to his due, then (vpon the Aduersaries owne ground) there is no Merit. But if he [ E] doe not in rigor exact, then this indulgence and not exacting, for Christs sake, taketh away all plea of Merit from vs, and cast∣eth the Merit vpon Christ alone.
