Al that hitherto we have said concerning faith, the Apostles have taught before us: For Paul sayeth: Faith is the ground of things, which are hoped for, and the evidence of those things 1that are not seen. And again he saith: Al the promises of god in Christ 2are yea, and are in him Amen. To the Philippians he writeth, that it was ⟨p. 44⟩3given to them, that they should believe in Christ: And again, Christ hath 4distributed to every man; a measure of faith: And again, All men have not faith, neither do all men obey the Gospel. Luke also witnesseth Act. xiij. As many as were ordained unto eternal life, believed: Wherefore he calleth faith, the faith of Gods elect: And again. Roma. x. Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. In other places, he often biddeth men pray for faith.
