Believed on in the world.
Beleeved on in the world.
1By world, especially here in this place, is meant the world taken out of the world, the world of elect. There is a world in the world, as one saith well, in unfolding this point, as we see, man is called a little world, in the great world. Christ was preached to the world of wicked men, that by preaching a world might be taken out of the world, which is the world of believers. Hence we may clear our judgements in that point, that when Christ is said to redeem the world, it must not be understood generally of all mankind: we see here, the world is said to believe in Christ; did all mankind believe in Christ, was there not a world of unbelievers?

- 1What meant here by world.
We see here Christ believed on in the world; the World that was opposite, that were enemies, that were under Satan.
