XIV. _Of Works of Supererogation_.

Voluntary works besides, over and above, God's Commandments,

which they call Works of Supererogation, cannot be taught without

arrogancy and impiety: for by them men do declare, that they do not

only render unto God as much as they are bound to do, but that they

do more for his sake, than of bounden duty is required: whereas

Christ saith plainly, When ye have done all that are commanded to

you, say, We be unprofitable servants.
