Our Election

But certain it is, that our election cometh only and wholly of the benefit and grace of God, for the merits of Christ's passion, and for no part of our merits and good works: as St. Paul disputeth and proveth at length in the epistle to the Romans and Galatians, and divers other places, saying, Si ex operibus, non ex gratia; si ex gratia, non ex operibus.
