For we with our infirmity and weakness wherewith we are infected, do pollute the good and free gifts of God, when they are bestowed upon us. Wherefore if they should be referred unto God, as we have them in us, they should easily wax vile: but through Christ they are purged, and being through him offered unto God, they are made a sweet savour.

Peter Martyr Vermigli, Most learned and fruitful commentaries of D. Peter Martir Vermilius Florentine, professor of divinity in the school of Tigure, upon the Epistle of S. Paul to the Romanes wherein are diligently [and] most profitably entreated all such matters and chief common places of religion touched in the same Epistle. With a table of all the common places and expositions upon divers places of the scriptures, and also an index to find all the principal matters contained in the same, trans. Henry Billingsley (London: John Day, 1568), p. 7.
