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.

Joh. 1. Item,4 who so believeth in the Son of God, hath everlasting life: who so believeth not in the Son, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abideth upon him. 5Therefore did he also send all his Disciples from him, and commanded them to cleave unto Christ. He maketh no mention at all of any ceremonies, figures or oblations, as necessary points to salvation, but preacheth Christ purely and clearly. This is manifest, Joh. 1. and 3. Matth. 3. and Luk. 3.
