15 But besides this natural knowledge that we have of God, 1that also offereth it self unto us, which consisteth of faith, and is revealed unto us by the word of God. 2This faith is not of our selves, (as it is said to the Ephesians) but it is the gift of God. For Christ saith; 3None can come unto me, unless the father draw him. Faith therefore gathereth plentiful knowledge of God out of the scriptures, so far as our salvation requireth, and the capacity of this life admitteth. But yet (as Paul witnesseth;) This knowledge also is unperfect. For we know now as by a view, 4through a glass, and in part. And although we profit in this knowledge more and more while we live, yet do we not reach to the understanding of the substance of God.
15 But besides this naturall knowledge that we haue of God, 1that also offereth it selfe vnto vs, which consisteth of faith, and is reuealed vnto vs by the word of God. 2This faith is not of our selues, (as it is said to the Ephesians) but it is the gift of God. For Christ saith; 3None can come vnto me, vnles the father drawe him. Faith therfore gathereth plentifull knowledge of God out of the scriptures, so far as our saluation requireth, and the capacitie of this life admitteth. But yet (as Paule witnesseth;) This knowledge also is vnperfect. For we knowe now as by a view, 4through a glasse, and in part. And although wée profit in this knowledge more and more while we liue, yet doo we not reach to the vnderstanding of the substance of God.
