October 2015 A.D. 10th of 39 Articles, “Of
Free Will”—Lancelot Ridley
Article X—Of
Free-Will.
The condition of Man after the fall of Adam is such, that he cannot turn and
prepare himself by his own natural strength and good works, to faith, and
calling upon God: wherefore we have no power to do good works pleasant and
acceptable to God, without the grace of God by Christ preventing us, that we
may have a good will, and working with us, when we have that good
will.
Lancelot Ridley:
“Albeit, that we be justified by faith, ... yet we have no cause why we
should glory in ourselves. For faith is not of us, but it is the gift of
God, and not the work of our power, as saith St. Paul.” (2 Cor. 3). – On Eph.
2:8–10.
