but

alfo

So

by

the

works

of

righteou

f

res

which

foe

had

done,

but

according

to

his mercie he

faired vs

:

in

which

place wee

are

neceflarily

to

vnderfland the

workes

of

the

morali law

;

for Titus

being

a

Grecian

was

not bound to

obferue

the ceremoniall

law,and therfore

he

was

not

fo

much

as

circumcifed,as

the Apoílle plainlyaffirmeth,Gal.2.3.

Fourthly, Paul

fpeaketh

ofthat

law

by which

wee

come

to

the knowledge

of

fin,

as

appeareth

Rom.3.20.

and

7.7.8.9.

But the

knowledge

of

finne

came cfpecially

by

the Morali

law,and therefore

of

this law

theApoílle

fr

eaketh.

Laflly,

the Apoílle (peaking

ofthe

workes

ofthe

law,

aI-

Ieageth

thefe fentences

:

:

for

Curled

is

emery ratan

that

continueth not in all

things

which

are written

in

the

bootie

ofthe

law

to

doe

them. So

that

he

Çtleaketh

not

of

the

ceremoniall law alone,but

ofthe

whole law

ofMof

s,

and

of

all

things

contained

in

it.

And

verf.

efnd

the

lawis not

of

faith, but

theman

that

(hall

then

things

/hall

live

in

them.

Which cannot

bee vnderflood

of

the

ceremoniall lawe

a-

lone, but

of

the

workes

of

the Morali

lawe,

yea

of

them e-

fpecially.

Secondly,it

is'

anfwered

that

the

Apoílle fpeaketh only

pf

the workes

ofthofe

who

are

not

regenerate

nor

indued

with

faith,and not

ofthe

regenerate and

faithfull. Which

(Lifting

cauill

the Apofile

cleerely

taketh away,not

only by

applying

his fpeeches

vnto

all

men

without

any

limitation,

but

efpe-

cially

in

that

example

of

Abraham which hee

bringeth

for

this

purpofe

;

who though

hee

were

long

before regenerate,

indtted with

faith and exceeding plentifull in

goodworkes,

yet

he flatly excludeth

all

his

workes from

being

any

caufes

ofhis

iuflification.

So
