Are good workes necessarie to saluation.
The question is ambiguous, for if it be taken in this sense, that our good workes are so necessarie to saluation that they are the cause or merite of righteousnesse, saluation and life eter∣nall; it is false. But if it be vnderstood, that new obedience is ne∣cessarie, so as it be a duety which we owe, and an effect necessari∣ly following reconciliation, it is true.
2 Because god will saue noe man without repentance: and the gift of the holy ghost is necessarie to life eternall, as Christ saith. Iohn. 3.3. vnlesse a man be borne againe &c.
3 Because faith without which it is impossible for any man to be saued, cannot be without good workes, and faith hath chari∣tie euer ioyned with her, though not in action, yet in possibility.a 1.1
4 Because Bernard saith good workes are the way to the kingdome, not the cause of raigning Neither can any man attaine to life eter∣nall but by the way of good workes, which God hath prepared that wee should walke in them. Ephes. 1.4. &. 2.10.
