7. Works done by unregenerate Men, although for the Matter of them, they may be Things which God commands, and of good Use, both to themselves and others; yet because they proceed not from a Heart purified bya Faith, nor are done in a right Manner according to theb Word, nor to a right End thec Glory of God, they are sinful, and cannot please God, nor make a Man meet to receive Grace fromd God; and yet their neglect of them is more sinful, ande displeasing to God.f
