The answer.

We are verie sure that they which after they are called to knowledge do not continuallie indeuour to walke in those good workes, which God hath prepared for men to walke in, shall not come to the marke of life euerlasting, which is set before all chri∣ans. And we know none but papists that teach such securitie, to make men trust to that faith which is idle, and doeth not worke by loue a diligent indeuour of obedience to Gods holy lawes. And yet this continuance of our indeuour, is no argument of doubt∣fulnesse of our saluation, neither yet of trust in our deserts, but that Christ liueth in vs, and by his spirit leadeth and guideth vs effectuallie. And it is not to be passed ouer, (though you be not disposed to sée it) that the Apostle for all his indeuour, yet flieth from his owne righteousnesse to the righteousnesse of Christ, which God hath made his by faith: so that it is euident, that the Apostles confidence rested vpon the righteousnesse of Christ im∣puted to him.
