The second property, whereby Christ is described, is Truth: Christ is said to be true, in three regards: First, because he is without all error or ignorance, knowing every thing as it is. Truth is in Christ properly, and in the creatures only by means of him. Secondly, because whatsoever he willeth and decreeth, he doth it seriously, without fraud, deceit, change or contradiction, as the whole tenure of Scriptures do show, wherein every part is suitable and agreeable to another; because he maketh ⟨p. 177⟩good every promise made in his word, for in him all the promises of God are yea, and Amen. 2. Cor. 1.20.
