9. But there is nothing propounded, nor ought to be propounded of Christ, in the Calling of men, to be believed as true, which is not simply and absolutely true. For this is both against the nature of a testimony, as it is an object of that Faith which is in the understanding, the formal reason whereof is truth: and also is against the nature of the Gospel it self, which by an excellency, is called the word of truth. Eph. 1. 13.
