Page 249 - Wherefore, we acknowledge a dutiful necessity of doing well, but the meritorious dignity of doing well we utterly renounce. We see how far we are from the perfect righteousness of the law ; the little fruit which we have in holiness, it is, God knoweth, corrupt and unsound : we put no confidence at all in it, we challenge nothing in the world for it, we dare not call God to reckoning, as if we had him in our debt-books : our continual suit to him is, and must be, to bear with our infirmities, and...

Page 367 - James's reign, the fear of popery was so strong, as well as just, that many, in and about London, began to meet often together, both for devotion and for their fur318ther instruction: things of that kind had been formerly practised only among the puritans and the dissenters: but these were of the church, and came to their ministers, to be assisted with forms of prayer and other directions: they were chiefly conducted by Dr.
Page 142 - Nevertheless, because faith doth directly send us to Christ for remission of our sins ; and that, by faith given us of God, we embrace the promise of God's mercy, and of the remission of our sins — which thing none other of our virtues or works properly doth — therefore the scripture useth to say, that faith without works doth justify.
