Perkins: We Exclude Good Works From The Act Of Justification And Salvation

“And here let it be remembered that we are not patrons of licentiousness and enemies of good works. For though we exclude them from the act of our justification and salvation, yet we maintain a profitable and necessary use of them in the life of every Christian man.”

William Perkins, The Works of William Perkins, 7:145 (HT: Inwoo Lee).
