“ We cannot by our best works merit pardon of sin or eternal life at the hand of God, by reason of the great disproportion that is between them and the glory to come, and the infinite distance that is between us and God, whom by them we can neither profit nor satisfy for the debt of our former sins; [14] but when we have done all we can, we have done but our duty, and are unprofitable servants ”

“ This section teaches the absolute necessity of the Spirit in all acceptable, gospel obedience. Yet we are not herein taught that obedience doth infallibly attend the presence and influence of the Holy Spirit, but its influence may be quenched, so that disobedience is rendered possible.
4. They who in their obedience attain to the greatest height which is possible in this life, are so far from being able to supererogate, and to do more than God requires, as that they fall short of much which in duty they are bound to do. ”
