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.

These three points doth he teach us diligently to observe: First,1 that we obtain remission of sins, true righteousness, and everlasting life, only through him, and by his Passion and death, and else by none other mean. For he is the only Mediator, Priest, Intercessor, Comforter, the only Righteousness, Satisfaction, Ransom, Sanctifying, the only perpetual Sacrifice, the Surety of grace and salvation. Special testimonies hereof hast thou John 3.6.14. and 16. Secondly, that we cannot serve and please God with exterior sacrifices or any outward pomp▪ but with such works as proceed of love, and mercy. And thirdly, that all the children of God are bound to keep themselves from the works of darkness, and to apply them to live in righteousness, and in the light. And herein also is comprehended all godliness, that is, all right good Christian works.
