CHAP. X. Of the likelihood of the old and new Testament.
1 The covenant of all the fathers doth nothing differ from ours in substance & very deed, that it ⟨p. 106⟩§1is alone and the same, yet the administration doth vary.1 And they agree in three points. First the Jews were adopted into the same hope of immortality whereinto we are. Secondly the covenant §2 3whereby they were reconciled to the Lord was upholden by no merits of theirs, but only by the mercy of God who called them. Thirdly they knew Christ to be the Mediator, by whom they should both be coupled to God, and also be made partakers of his promises.
