VERSE. 3. Through faith we understand that the world was ordained by the word of God, so that the things which we see, are not made of things which did appear.
VERSE. 3. Through faith wee vnderstand that the world was ordained by the word of God, so that the things which wee see, are not made of things which did appeare.
IN this verse is contained the third action or effect of faith, namely this; Faith makes a man to understand things beyond the reach of mans reason. This third effect is set out in these words, by the instance of a notable example: namely, of the Creation of the world; 1. By the word of God. 2. Of nothing: both which, that we may the better understand, let us consider of the words as they lye in order.
