Whereas we are delivered from all our Sins and Miseries without any Merit of ours, by the Mercy of God, only for Christ’s sake; for what cause are we to do good Works?

Because, after that Christ hath redeemed us with his Blood, he reneweth us also by his Spirit to the Image of himself, that we receiving so great Benefits,a should shew our selves all our life time thankfull tob God, and honour him; secondly that every one of us bec assured of his Faith by his Fruit; and lastly, that by our good Conversation we mayd win others to Christ.
