- 1The Prophets
And as touching the free covenant which God made with man through Christ, the Prophets are much more evident;1 and do much more confirm the people in it. For they set Christ before their eyes, when they would comfort the faithful, and raise up their minds to the hope of his coming, even as it were to the foundation, and to the place of the covenant, unto whom the effect of the promises was to be referred.
