Commentary upon the Prophecy of Isaiah

But if these things appertain to Christs Kingdom, as they do indeed, we receive great fruit thereby. What? Christians have now that certain trueth, in which they may boldly rest; unless they forget themselves, and reject the grace of God. For it is manifested unto all, & hath taken from them all occasion of doubting; so as they may safely boast, that they truly know what his will is: yea, we may say, and that truly, as Jesus Christ said to the woman of Samaria, We worship that which we know: John 4.22. Therefore, in as much as we are assured by the Gospel,¹ of that grace which is offered us in Jesus Christ, we wander not any more in uncertain conjectures, as many do, but we embrace God and his pure service; so as we boldly bid adieu to all humane inventions.

But if these things appertaine to Christs Kingdome, as they doe indeed, wee receiue great fruit thereby. What? Christians haue now that certaine trueth, in which they may boldly rest; vnlesse they forget themselues, and reiect the grace of God. For it is manifested vnto all, & hath taken frō them all occasion of doubting; so as they may safely boast, that they truely know what his will is: yea, we may say, and that truely, as Iesus Christ said to the woman of Samaria, We worship that which we know: Iohn 4.22. Therefore, in as much as we are assured by the Gospell,¹ of that grace which is offered vs in Iesus Christ, we wander not any more in vncertaine coniectures, as many doe, but we imbrace God and his pure seruice; so as we boldly bid adiew to all humane inuentions.

1. 1What use we are to make of this certainty of trueth, now revealed unto us in the Gospel.What vse we are to make of this certentie of trueth, now reuealed vnto vs in the Gospell.
