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.

What an occasion might such an Apostle (as holy James was) have, to write another, yea a sharper Epistle, seeing so many pretending to be of Jesus Christs old faith, are yet so partial, have such a carnal respect of persons, are not rich in faith, despise the poor, practise not the law of godly love, talk and jangle of faith, not having the works thereof,1 clothe not the naked, help not the poor to their living, regard not their necessity, have but a dead faith, declare not by good and godly works, the true and old faith of Christ, are but vain believers, have not the eflectuous, the working and living faith,2 that Abraham and Rahab had. Read the second chapter of his Epistle.
