Concerning holy Abraham, here are more examples then one recorded, and his faith is renowned many ways: more verses are spent of him, then of some five others. And the reason is, because his faith was more excellent then any others that followed him. In which regard, he is called the Father of the faithful, oftentimes in the new Testament, especially in the Epistles to the Romans and Galatians.
