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.

Now when all the complaint was made upon the Serpent,1 the Lord asketh and examineth the Serpent nothing at all, for the deed was open, neither was the Serpent created of God to speak, and with the Devil was there no truth. Therefore doth the Lord righteously curse the Serpent the Devil. Unto the bodily serpent also (whom the Devil used as an instrument) he giveth a sore curse, and saith; Upon thy belly shalt thou go, 2and earth shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: When this was done, it was ordained now first for man, that (according to the righteousness and truth of God) he should be punished also with the curse and with eternal death: but for the causes expressed in the beginning of this chapter, the curse was directed unto Christ, who also with clear words was promised, and so was life in him promised likewise.
