Again this maketh much for the certainty of the Gospel, that all the prophets for a long time do yet notwithstanding so temper their form of teaching with one consent, that they do testify all together, that men ought to hope for a certain better, and more perfect thing. Therefore whosoever will believe Moses and the prophets, he must needs submit himself unto the doctrine of Christ,1 without which, all that is lame and unperfect which they taught.
24 And all. When as he saith that all the prophetes doe with one consent send their scholers vnto Christe: that appeareth more plainely hereby which I said, that the commendation of the Gospel is contained vnder that testimony of Moses, and so consequently that the conclusion of prophecies is principally noted.
