VVhat is the proper adiunct of wages?

Due or debt for wages properly is nothing else but that which is giuen of due or debt: for that which is giuen is generall; but it is restrained as it were by these differences, Grace, and debt. For that which is giuen, is giuen eyther of fauour, and is a free gift: or else it is giuen of debt, and is wages properly so called, but in generall, wages is vsed for that which is giuen, whether it be gi∣uen of fauour, or of debt. And so there is a double reward or wa∣ges, one is due, the other is not due, or freely giuen, as it appea∣reth, Rom. 4.4. To him that worketh the wages is counted not of fa∣uour, but of debt. Whereby it is gathered that by the name of wages is signified, in the Scriptures, euen a free gift. For that which is called, Math. 5.46. VVages. Luke, 6.32. is called fauour or free gift. So as the schoolemen doe vainely dreame of a mutuall relation betweene merite & wages out of Math. 6.1. For that reward alone which is due of debt, doth put on the me∣rit of works, but that which is not due debt, or free doth not. And we doe freely confesse the good works of iust men haue a most liberall remuneration or recompense both in this life, and also in the life to come, but by fauour, not of debt.
