Joh. And this is the victory which hath overcome the world, even our faith (which is the instrument and hand, whereby we lay hold on him, that he in us, and so we by him, might overcome the world.) 5. Who is this that overcometh this world, but he which believeth that Jesus is that Son of God?

Joh. 16. This is that Jesus Christ, which came by water (sanctification signified by the legal washings) and blood (imputation of Christs righteousness or the sprinkling of his blood:) not by water only, but by water ⟨p. 25⟩and blood: (because Christ worketh both justification, & sanctification together) & it is that spirit (a mans own conscience inwardly purified) that beareth witness, for that spirit is trueth: (that is, that the testimony of the spirit of adoption, certifying us, that we are the sons of God is true.) 7. For, (that I may speak it more plainly,) there are three which bear record in heaven, the father, the word, (the Son) and the holy Ghost; and these three are one, (namely in testimony.) 8. And there are three which bear record in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and blood: and these three agree in one.
