to eternal felicitie. But our nature is so corrupt, so weake, and so imperfect, that we ar neuer able to fulfyl the workis of the law in perfection. Yea, geue we say we haue na syn (euin efter we ar rege¦nerat) we desaue our selfis, & ye veritie of god is nocht into vs. And thairfore it behoueth vs too apprehend Christ Iesus with his Iustice, and sa∣tisfactioun, quhoo is the end, and accomplische∣ment of the law: by quhom we at set at this liber¦tie, that the curse and malediction of the law, fall not vpon vs, albeit we fulfyll not the same in all poyntis. For GOD the father behalding vs in the body of his sonne Christ Iesus, acceptith our imperfyte obedience, as it war perfyte: and coue∣reth our workis quhilk ar defylit, with mony spot¦tis, with the iustice of his sonne. We do not mea∣ne that we ar set so at libertie, that we awe no obe¦dience to the law (for that before we haue plainlie confessed) But this we affirme, thate noo Man in earth (Christ Iesus only excepted) hath geuin, geueth, or sall geue in worke, thate Obedience to the law, Quhilk the law requireth. But quhē we haue done all thingis, we mon fall doun, and vnfeanidlie confesse, that we ar vnprofitable ser∣uādis, and thairfore, quhosoeuer boste thaim sel¦fis of the meritis of thair awī workis, or put thar traist in the workis of supererogation, bost thaim seluis of that quhilk is not, and put thair traiste in Damnable Ydolatrie.
