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.

But blessed are they, which walk in this simplicity & cleanness, and continue so unto the end; even they that hear Gods word, and do thereafter, whose only hope is Jesus Christ. This only true and ever during salvation would he to be showed and declared to all nations, which came to save all nations: but he would it should be declared by the preaching of the holy Gospel, and through the ministration of the holy Sacraments: And therefore by his life time he did choose Apostles, whom he received to be witnesses of all his doctrine and miracles, informing them diligently, and held nothing back from them.
