John Trapp on John 17:2

Note this againſt our Merit-mongers, who not only cry with Novatus, Non habeo, Domine, quod mihi ignoſcas: I have done nothing that thou ſhouldſt forgive me; but with Vega. Vitam aeternam gratis non accipiam. I will not have heaven for nothing. How much better S. Auguctine, Homo ignoſcat, ſaith he, ut Deus ignoſcat. And William Wickam, Act and Mon. founder of New-Colledge, who, though he did many good workes, yet he profeſſed that he truſted to Jeſus Chriſt alone for ſalvation.
