§. 11.

S. Paule, going about in his Epistle to the Galathians, to prooue our iustification to come onely by the grace and mercie of God, through fayth in Iesus Christ, & not by the works of the Law; beginneth thus. VVee * which are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, knowe, that a man is not iustified▪ by the vvorkes of the Law, but by the faith of Iesus Christ. Euen wee, I say, haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that wee might be iustified by the fayth of Christ, and not by the works of the Lawe; because that by the works of the Lawe, no flesh shall be iustified.

But, wee beleeue to be saued▪ through the grace of our Lord Iesus Christ.

For, as many as are of the workes of the Law▪ are vnder the curse. For, it is written: Cused is euery man that continueth not in all things, which are written in the booke of the Law, to doe them.

Page 209

And, that no man is iustified by the lawe in the sight of God, it is euident: for the iust shall liue by fayth.

I, through the Law (saith he) am dead to the Law: and that I might liue vnto God, I am crucified with Christ. Neuerthelesse, I liue; yet not I now, but Christ liueth in mee: and in that, that I nowe liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith in the Son of God; vvho hath loued mee, and giuen himselfe for mee.

I do not abrogate the grace of God; for if righteousnes be by the lawe, then Christ died without a cause.

But nowe is the righteousnes of GOD made manifest without the Lawe, hauing witnes of the Law, & of the Prophets. To wit, the righteousnes of God, by the fayth of Iesus Christ, vnto all, and vpon all that beleeue.

For, by grace we are saued through faith, and that not of our selues; it is the gift of God. Not of works, least any man should boast himselfe.
