14 And we have seen. Now he expoundeth the other part of the knowledge of God, which we have touched: that he communicateth himself with us in his Son, and offereth to be enjoyed. Whereupon it followeth, that he is perceived of us by faith. For hereto is the Apostles purpose, that we are so united to God by faith & love, that he dwelleth truly in us, and by the effect of his power doth after a sort show himself visible, which otherwise cannot be seen. When he saith, We have seen, and testify: he setteth out himself and other Apostles: and he meaneth not every seeing, but that which is joined ⟨image 96⟩to faith, whereby they acknowledged i• Christ the glory of God: as also it followeth, That he was sent to be the saviour of the world, which knowledge proceedeth from the enlightening of the spirit.
