CHAP. I. Of Faith.
FAITH (so much as1 for the understanding of this controversy is worthy explication) is taken abusively, and by a Metonymy, for that Doctrine which we embrace by Faith, and make profession of; but most usually in proper signification for the gift, whereby we understand that Doctrine and entertain it. For Doctrine▪ as 1. Tim. 1. that thou sight a good fight, re•••iving faith and a good conscience, the disputation is not here intended of this signification of faith: for it is acknowledged of all men, that they are said to fall from the faith, who cast off the Doctrine once received, •r else, from whom, by the just judgement of God, the Doctrine is taken away.
