Peter had preached unto him, and he once believed, was by and by justified, when as yet he had not received circumcision, or the law, when as yet he had not sacrificed, nor merited righteousness by any work that he did: For he was freely justified in faith through Jesus Christ For Peter concluded his Sermon to him in these words. To this Christ do all the Prophets give witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. After all this, the Apostle Paul bringeth in that notable and singular example 1of our father Abraham, teaching by what means our father Abraham was justified. For this being once truly declared, it can not chose but be plain & manifest to every one, by what means Gods will is to justify all men. For the sons can not be justified any other way then the father before them was justified. Abraham therefore was not justified by circumcision or receiving of the sacrament. For it is said that he was justified before he was circumcised.
