For although Christ at that time was not come in the flesh & borne of the most glorious virgin Mary, yet did they believe undoubtedly, & were perfectly persuaded that he should come, & that they should be redeemed by his passion, & that he should pay their debts to God y• father, even with his most precious blood, deliver them out of cap tivite, & make them partakers of the ⟨image 63⟩glory of heaven. And although they did not see Christ with their corporal eyes, yet did they see him with their spiritual eyes, that is to say with y• eyes of their faith, yea & believe without any hesitation or doubting, as Christ said of Abraham to the Jews, Abraham your father ¹did rejoice that he might see my day, and he saw it and was glad. This is to be understand that Abraham did see Christ with y• eyes of his faith, which is y• very true & perfect sight.
