The Pamphlet. The Protestants are bound in conscience to auoyde all good workes. 2. Article.
EVery man is bound vpon paine of eternall damnation to auoyde all deadly sinnes. But fasting, praying, almes deedes, and all good workes, according to thea 1.1Prote∣stants religion, are deadly sinnes: Ergo, according to the Prote∣stants religion all men are bound vpon paine of eternall damna∣tion, to auoyde fasting praying, almes deedes and all good workes. The Maior is manifest: for the wages of deadly sinne is death,a 1.2 Stipendium peccatimors. The Minor is euident: for ac∣cording to the Protestants religion and common exposition of this text of Scripture:b 1.3 Factisumus vt immundi omnes nos, & tanquam pannus menstruatae omnes iustitiae nostrae:
We are made all as vncleane, and all our iustices are as stayned cloth. That is to say, the best workes we can doe are infected with deadly sinne, and consequently deserue eternall damnation, and therefore to be auoyded.
