“We must neither look for reward in the earth, nor in heaven, for the deserving and merits of our deeds … we must bestow out of pure love, all that we have, and all that we are able to do, even on our enemies, to bring them to God, considering nothing but their welfare, as Christ did ours. Christ did not do his deeds to obtain heaven thereby. That would have been a madness, for heaven was his already; he was the heir, it was his by inheritance. He did them freely for our sakes, considering nothing but our welfare, and to bring the favour of God to us again, and us to God.”
William Tyndale, A Pathway into the Holy Scripture, 16th C.
