Verily there is no difference of the people, of the testament, of the church, 1or of the manner of salvation betwixt them, among whom there is found to be one and the same doctrine, the same faith, the same spirit, the same hope, the same inheritance, the same expectation, the same invocation, and the same sacraments. If therefore I shall be able to prove that all these things were indifferently common to them of the old church as well unto us, then have I obtained that which I shot at, to wite, that in respect of the substance, there neither was, nor is, any more than one testament, that the old fathers are one and the same people that we are, living in the same church and communion, and saved not in any other but in Christ alone the son of God, in whom also we look for salvation.
