But however offensive and mischievous this proposition may seem, when taken in- sulatedly, if we look at it in the original chain of theses, by which Luther in the year 1520 set forth the great truth, that faith, as the recipient of justification, is exclu- sive of works, and that unbelief is the prime, fontal sin, the source of all other sins, the meaning of the paradox is quite plain : and we see how he was led to assert it in this naked form, while contending against the dismal confusion 190... EXAMINATION OF MR WARD's which prevailed with regard to the relation between faith and works. That relation is strikingly declared in the following antithetical paradoxes : Fides nisi sit sine ullis, etiam minimis operihus, non justificat, imo non est fides.
