Institutions of Christian religion framed out of Gods word, and the writings of the best diuines, methodically handled by questions and answers, fit for all such as desire to know, or practise the will of God. Written in Latin by William Bucanus Professor of Diuinitie in the Vniuersitie of Lausanna. And published in English by Robert Hill, Bachelor in Diuinitie, and Fellow of Saint Iohns Colledge in Cambridge, for the benefit of our English nation, to which is added in the end the practise of papists against Protestant princes.

Are there not also in the Gospell euery where promised many blessings both temporall and eternall to our good workes?

In deed they are promised as Psal. 84.12. He will not depriue them of good thinges that walke in innocencie. 1. Timoth. 4.8. godli∣nes hath the promise of this life and of that that is to come. Math. 5.12. your rewarde is greate in heauen. Luc. 6.38, Giue, and it shalbe giuen, vnto you. Math. 25.29. to him that hath it shall be giuen, and the faithfull seruant shall haue rule ouer many things. And. Cap 10.42. he that shall giue a cup of colde water in my name shall not lose his reward, And Cap. 19.29. he that shall leaue house, bre∣thren

sisters etc.: for my sake shall receiue an hundred fold in this life and shall inherite eternall life. Reuela. 22.14. Blessed are they that keepe his commaundements, that they may haue right vnto the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the City. But yet not vnder con∣dition of workes which should procure those benefits vnto vs: but as they do manifestly shew vnto vs, & prooue as effects better knowne to vs, that wee are pertakers of that condition which is in the couenante of grace, whereby alone it being fulfilled, those benefits are procured: neither are they bestowed on vs, as of debt, but as free rewardes.
