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.

CHAP. VIII. All vertuous Kings, and the people of Israel, trusted unto Christ, and not to the Law.
1After that the Law was given, and Gods service set up, Moses the servant of God died, being an hundred and twenty years old: and at the commandment and commission of God, he left Gods people to be ruled and guided by the faithful valiant Joshua, 2which also was a figure of our Lord Jesus. For like as it was not Moses, but Joshua, that brought the people into the land of promise: Even so are we brought into the eternal rest, not by the works of the Law, nor through our own deserving, but by grace through Jesus Christ: ⟨p. 55⟩like as it is also with many words expressed of holy Paul, Heb. 4.3. &c. This Joshua, no doubt, did keep, maintain and defend Gods faith and religion, with the spirit and understanding thereof, and taught other to keep the same, like as he through Gods inspiration received it of the fathers by Moses. Which thing, though it be evident in many points, yet is it manifest specially by this, that he would not suffer the children of Reuben and Gad, and the half Tribe of Manasseh, to set up and have another altar, beside the only altar that the Lord had appointed them. For herein (as it is mentioned afore) was figured the virtue and perfectness of the only cross, death, and sacrificing of Jesus Christ. Therefore would not Joshua that any thing should be set cheek-mate with the cross and oblation of Jesus Christ, but that all honour of cleansing and forgiveness of sins should be ascribed only unto him.
