The fourth Sermon.
COLOSS. 1. 5. 5 For the hope sake which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye have heard before by the word of truth, which is the Gospel.
COLOSS. 1. 5. 5 For the hope sake which is laid vp for you in heauen, whereof yee haue heard before by the word of truth, which is the Gospell.
THE Apostle▪ as we have heard doth give God thanks for two things: First, faith towards God, and love towards all Saints. In the first place ye have heard confirmed unto us, the truth, both of their faith and of their love. One mark of the truth thereof, we have heard to be their hope, which did uphold them in their faith and in their love. Now it is further described to be true faith and true love, here it being set forth by another argument. Namely that they have heard it in the word of truth: so that it is true faith and love, if it come by the hearing of the word of truth, which is the Gospel.

In the first place yee haue heard confirmed vnto vs, the truth, both of their faith and of their loue. One marke of the truth thereof, wee haue heard to bee their hope, which did vphold them in their faith and in their loue. Now it is further described to be true faith and true loue, here it being set forth by another argument. Namely that they haue heard it in the word of truth: so that it is true faith and loue, if it come by the hearing of the word of truth, which is the Gospell.
