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.

How would holy James reprove these bringers up of strange doctrines,1 blasphemers, backbiters, belie•s of good men, false teachers against Gods truth, dissemblers with the same, carry fire (as they say) with the one hand, and water in the other: pretend to be learned, and yet bring not forth the works of good conversation in meekness out of Gods wisdom, but in frowardness, and out of carnal ⟨image 5⟩doctrine. How would he take up these, that delight in malice and strife, belie Gods truth, are given to earthly, fleshly, and devilish wisdom, are unstable, full of all evil works, are not in the school of Gods wisdom and learning, are not given to unfeignedness of heart, are not peaceable, are churlish, uneasy to be entreated, &c. Read the third chapter of his Epistle.2
