From the beginning of this chapter, to this 30. verse, we have heard two sorts of examples of faith: the first, of believers from the beginning of the world to the flood. The second, of such as were from the time of the flood, to the giving of the Law in Mount Sinai: and of both these, we have hitherto entreated. Now here, and s• forward ⟨p. 464⟩to the end of this chapter, is set down a third order of examples of faith; namely, of such as lived from the time of the giving of the Law, to the time of the reign of the Maccabees.
