God commandeth good works through the whole kNew Testament. 2. They are so necessary, as without them, our faith is a dead and vaine faith, and can∣not l justifie us. 3. They are the end, for which Christ re∣deemed us, that mwe should live to him,nbee redeemed from our vaine conversation,ofrom the present evill world, thatpwe should bee a purified peculiar people to him, zealous of good works, and in this title also they are commanded. 4. They are conditions without which wee cannot bee saved. For John Baptist taught this with the Gospel, qEvery tree that bring∣eth not forth good fruit, shall be hewen downe, and cast in∣to the fire. What shall we doerto be saved, receiveth this an∣swer, Repent, and be baptized every one of you; Exceptsyee repent yee shall all likewise perish. 5. They are commanded as acts of the new creature.
