V. Conclusion.
He that hath begun to subject himself to Christ and his word, though as yet he be ignorant in most points of religion, yet if he have a care to increase in knowledge, and to practise that which he knoweth, he is accepted of God as a true believer.

The Exposition.
Sundry persons by the Evangelists are said to believe, which had only seen the miracles of Christ, and as yet had made no further proceedings, but to acknowledge Christ to be the Messiah; and to submit themselves to him & his doctrine, which afterward should be taught. On this manner the woman of Samaria believed, and many of ⟨p. 46⟩the Samaritans upon her report: and a certain ruler, by reason of a miracle wrought upon his son, is said to believe, and all his household.
