27. Comparing the one position with the other, it appears at first sight as though they were in entire agreement. Lest, however, this should be so, the Reformers distinguished between works of the Law proceeding from man's purpose and will, and works of the Spirit proceeding from faith as from a free and spontaneous disposition. The latter good works they called the fruits of faith, as may be seen above, n. 11 (h, l) and n. 13 (a, i, l) and n. 15 (l). From this penetrating examination and comparison there does not appear to be any difference in the works themselves, but only in their quality; thus, in that the latter sort proceed from man as a passive subject, but the former as from an active subject. Consequently, the latter are spontaneous since they proceed from man's understanding and not at the same time from his will. This is said because man cannot be unaware when he is doing them, because he is doing them, and awareness is from the understanding. Nevertheless, as the Reformed also preach the exercises of repentance and wrestlings with the flesh, n. 13 (d, e, f, g, h, k), and these cannot be done by man except from his purpose and will, and thus by him as from himself, it follows that there is still an actual agreement.
