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.

Wherefore in as much as the generation of Seth now increased, and the fear of God and right belief was among them, the Scripture faith well:1 And then began men to call upon the name of the Lord. And by this calling upon, doth the Scripture mean the true right belief and Gods service, that he most alloweth. Of the progeny therefore of righteous Seth sprang the servants of God, and ⟨p. 27⟩presidents of our Christian faith. As for the cursed generation of Cain, and of the ungodly, it was destroyed and drowned with the Flood.

- 1To call upon the name of God, what it is.
To the holy genealogy of the true believers, pertaineth the Patriarch Enoch, of whom it is written, that he walked before God, that is, he ordered his life and conversation altogether after the will of God, being constant and upright (no doubt) in all that, which God had spoken unto Adam. Therefore became he also an example of the immortality of the soul, and resurrection of the body, and that all Gods servants shall be saved after this life. For thus saith the Scripture; And in as much as he applied himself to walk after God, God took him away, and he was no more seen.
