[edit]- This glory of works is excluded by the law of faith: of the which law the Apostle maketh mention (saying) The law of the Spirite of life in Christ Jesu, hath delyvered me from the law of sinne and death. That is, the mercy of god, the gift of the holy spirit, remission of sinnes, and everlasting life purchased to us through faith in Christ: by the which we live in ryghteousnes, free from sinne, and death: and so it is caled the law of faith which excludeth all glory of works: because we receave and give no thing but glory and honour unto God which is the sacrifice of praise and thankesgiving.
- The Confession of Faith (Edinburgh: Thomas Vautrollier, 1584), ch. 18, p. 122
