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.

1Here now had the just God occasion and right to expel man, to destroy him, to damn him, and to leave him utterly to the devil: And the same also did his righteousness and truth require.2 For he had said, In what day soever thou eatest of the fruit, thou shalt die the death. Contrariwise, the goodness and mercy of God required, not utterly to suppress man a poor and naked creature. In the mean season was there found a way,3 whereby the righteousness and truth of God should be satisfied, and in the which the mercy of God should specially be exercised and declare it self: that is to say, Christ Jesus, which is given us by the manifest grace of God, was offered for our sins, satisfied and recompensed ⟨p. 9⟩the righteousness of God, and so delivered us out of the bonds of the Devil. For he died for us all, in as much as God said: In what day soever thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death. Therefore died Christ for us all, that through his death we might live, and be taken out of the kingdom of darkness, and be set in the kingdom of the dear beloved Son of God.
