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.

But they drank all of the spiritual rock that followed them, which rock was Christ.

Besides this, if we consider the declaration of the laws of the first Table (which teacheth how we shall behave our selves right toward God, to love, worship and honour him, to serve him and to cleave only unto him) we shall find in the same first Table, the whole cause of Christ. For all that afterward was ordained and appointed concerning the Tabernacle, the Priesthood, and the Oblations, pertaineth to the sum of the first Table, for as much as the Scripture and the mouth of God calleth it his law, precept, commandment, use and statute, ordinance and service.
