Luk. 18. 20.
The text.
Thou knowest ∴ the commandement, thou shalt not kil, &c.
The note.
Not faith onely, but also keeping the commandements purchase life
euerlasting. See annotations Matthew. 19. 16.
The answer.
You loue to repeat one thing often. Your notes vpon this haue
twise béene answered alreadie. And now the third time, I praie
you tell vs how yée gather this, or what necessitie there is of any
such consequence vpon this place? You know, & it is of all hands
granted, that he which fulfilleth the Law, shall liue by the Law.
Also you know that the Apostle concludeth, that therefore none
liue by the Law, bicause no man performeth all things that are
written in the Law. This man would know by what doing a
man should possesse life. Christ answereth his question aptlie,
and fitly by kéeping the commandements. Doth it follow there∣fore
that a man can kéepe the commandements, and so haue life?
But it appéereth that the Iewish teachers had besotted this
yoong man, as they had done a multitude of others, to make them
séeke righteousnes, and life, where it could not be found, that is
in themselues, and in their owne obedience. Euen as you po∣pish
pharisies, do now a daies bewitch men with an opinion of
inherent iustice, whereby they may deserue heauen.
