Look from Adam, and behold the Protestants faith and religion evidently proved out of the holy Scriptures against all atheists, papists, loose libertines, and carnal gospellers: and that the faith which they profess, hath continued from the beginning of the world, and so is the true and ancient faith. Herein hast thou also a short sum of the whole Bible, and a plain manifestation, that all holy men who have pleased God, have been saved through this Christian faith alone.Looke from Adam, and behold the Protestants faith and religion evidently proued out of the holy Scriptures against all atheists, papists, loose libertines, and carnall gospellers: and that the faith which they professe, hath continued from the beginning of the world, and so is the true and ancient faith.

Of Christs preaching, of the grace of God, of the forgiving of sins, of the wonders also and tokens of the Lord,1 speaketh Isaiah in the 61. chapter, after this manner: The spirit of the Lord God is upon me, and therefore hath the Lord anointed me, to preach the Gospel to the meek hearted hath he sent me, to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captive, to open the prison to such as are in bonds, to proclaim the year of Gods gracious will, and to bring consolation to all them that are in heaviness. In the 34.2 chapter of Ezekiel it is written thus: Over my sheep will I raise up one only shepherd, which shall feed them, even David my servant, which shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. I the Lord also will be their God, and David shall be their Prince, ⟨p. 73⟩even I the Lord have spoken it. In the 35. chap. of Isaiah it is written thus: Say unto them that are of a feeble heart: Be strong and fear not, behold, 3our God cometh to take vengeance, and to reward: God cometh himself, and will deliver you. Then shall the eyes of the blind be opened, &c. Then shall the lame man leap as an Hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall give praise.
