DOCT. XIX. Errours condemned.
WE therefore disallow and mislike the errour of those, which teach that by the (opus operatum, or) per∣formance of the outward work, with∣out faith, and true union with Christ, remission of sins may be obtained, and salvation communicated unto men. But we condemne for blas∣phemie the doctrine of those, which teach that remission of sinnes, and sal∣vation may be obtained by works not commanded by God, but inven∣ted by men; and those such as are full of superstition, and idolatrie. We condemne likewise those, which making no account of the ministerie of the Word, teach that salvation may be had, as well without, as by the hearing of the Word and the re∣ceiving of the Sacraments: and like∣wise those which contend that the children of infidells as well as the faithfull in their mothers wombes, are made partakers of Christ's benefits.
