John Trapp on Romans 11:6

Verſe 6. Then is it no more of works] Whatſoever conferrumination of grace and works Papiſts dream of. They think, that as he that ſtandeth on two firm branches of a tree, is ſurer then he that ſtandeth upon one only: So he that truſteth to Chriſt and works too, is in the ſafeſt condition. But, 1. They are fallen from Chriſt that truſt to works, Gal. 5.4. 2. He that hath one foot on a firm branch, and another on a rotten one, ſtands not ſo ſure as if he ſtood wholly on that which is ſound. But let them be Moſes's Diſciples, let us be Chriſts: Set not up a candle to this Sun of righteouſneſſe: mix not thy puddle with his purple bloud, thy rags with his raiment, thy Pigeons plumes with his Eagles-feathers. He can and will ſave his to the utmoſt, Heb. 7.25. Deteſt all mock-ſtaies.
