Not the foreseeing of good works to come, or of faith, nor the estimation of works present, but onely the grace of God, not that which is freely giuen or infused, whither it be faith, or whether it be charitie, but grace freely giuing, that is to say, the good will of God, or the good pleasure of Goda 1.1, and his loue toward vs menb 1.2: And therefore Rom. 3.24. they are iustifyed freely,
that is to say excluding all workrs, not onely works going be-before faith: but also those that follow faith, or of Gods free gift and meere liberalitie: By his grace, by the redemption made by Iesus Christ: and Rom. 4.16. Therefore the inheritance is by faith, that it might be by grace, that it might be sure. And Rom. 11.6. If it be by grace, then it is no more by workes, or else grace were no grace. And Ephes. 2.8. By grace ye are saued through faith, and that not of your selues it is the gift of God. And therefore our Iustifica∣tion is altogether free even as are also those things that go before it, our Election, and Ʋocation, and that that followeth it, namely, sanctification. For euen Christ himselfe also with his satisfaction is the free gift of God, and it is of Gods grace and fauour that he will iustifie vs for anothers sake, and for the righteousnes of ano∣ther, and so faith it selfe, and likewise that by the comming be∣tweene of faith, we are iustified it is the gift God. Finally, that remission of sins is free, Christ teacheth vs both in many other places and also Luke. 7.41. by way of parable, where he setteth downe the representation of the creditor, and the debtor.
