D. Thou must know that it is not sufficient for a man to have a certain general conceit or imagination, or opinion and knowledge of God in his understanding, ⟨p. 433⟩but it is meet that he do know him to be such a one as he hath declared him self by his word, & chiefly in Jesus christ his son: or else he shall wander in the vanity of his imaginations, & shall be with out God. For seeing that God can not be known nor comprehended in his divine essence, nor in his majesty, if we will have such knowledge as is necessary to our salvation, it is requisite that we go and seek him, & behold him there where it hath pleased him to declare and reveal him self unto us, and that by those means which he hath given us. For if we do otherwise, we do then forge him to be such a one as the vanity of our understanding may imagine him and from thence it shall come to pass, that in the stead of him we shall make unto our selves strange gods, which shall be no gods, but thinking to serve God, we shall serve the devil. Wherefore it is not enough that we believe that there are gods, but that there is one only god. And yet for all that this is not enough so to do, but that also we do believe that this god, which is the only true god, is maker of heaven & of earth,
