workes are so opposite, that they can not be coupled together: but admit the one, ye must necessarily reiecte th other. And hence it is that Paule doth account the righteousnesse of the Law and this righ∣teousnesse of faith as contraries, a renoun∣cing that righteousnesse by the law, and resting in that righteousnesse which is by faith in Iesus Christ, or giuen vs of God by faith. Againe, he sheweth that this was the cause of the b ruine of the Iewes, that seeking to stablish their owne righteous∣nes, they wold not submit thēselues to the righteousnesse of God. This he teacheth also when he saith, that our reioycing can not be c excluded by the law, but by faith: and againe; when the reward is giuen d for works, that is of due debt, but that righte∣ousnesse is imputed to faith, is of grace.
