The old faith an evident probation out of the holy scripture, that the christen faith (which is the right, true, old and undoubted faith) hath endured since the beginning of the world. Herein hast thou also a short sum of the whole Bible, and a probation, that all virtuous men have pleased God, and were saved through the Christen faith. 1547.

Who so now is learned in the writings of the Prophets, knoweth well, that there is nothing red concerning the Lord in the new Testament, which the prophets have not prophesied of afore. He that ⟨image 49⟩is then any thing instruct in the Prophets, hath no doubt considered this in the new testament, that the apostles prove all their doctrine of the Lord Jesus, out of the law and the Prophets. Yea that the Lord him self confirmeth his own doings with the scriptures of the prophets, and that the Evangelists through out the holy gospel, set unto the doctrine and miracles of Christ, these words. And this was done, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken dy the prophets. Nevertheless for their sakes that are not yet instruct, I will now declare the principal articles of our Lord Jesus Christ, out of the holy prophets.

As touching the true godhead & manhood of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that1 he should be borne at Bethlehem in the land of Jewry, of a pure virgin and maid out of the kindred of David, the Prophets testify after this manner. Isaiah in the. vi. Chapter ayeth. Behold a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Emanuel, that is to say. God with us. Micah sayeth in the .v. chapter Though thou Bethlehem Ephrata art to small to be reckoned among the principal cities of Judah, yet out of the shall there come one unto me, which shall be ruler in Israel, whose forth going is from everlasting. In the ninth Chapter of Isaiah it is written. Unto us is a child borne, and to us is given a son, upon whose shoulders the kingdom shall lye,
