1. Voluntarie workes besydes, ouer and aboue Gods commaundementes, which they call workes of supererogatiō, can not be taught without arrogancie and impietie. For by them men do declare that they do not onely render vnto God as muche as they are bounde to do, but that they do more for his sake then of bounden duetie is required: Wheras Christe sayth playnly, When ye haue done al that are commaunded to you, say, We be vnprofitable seruauntes.
