Rom. 2. 7.

The text.

To them truly that according to patience in good works seeke glorie and honor, and incorruption; life eternall.

The note.

Good men also according to the merits of their good will shall haue their reward. August. ep. 47.

Lastly, he acknowledgeth that God rewar∣deth and crowneth his owne gifts in vs. How this can make for your doctrine of merits I pray you tell vs.
