Ursine (& Paraeus) Chatech. Q. •6. p. 140, 141. [Diff•runt Credo Deum, & Credo in Deum: Illud declarat fidem historiae, hoc fiduciam. Nam credo Deum est credo quòd sit Deus, & quòd sit talis, qualē see in verbo patefecit, viz &c. Credo in deū, est credo quòd mihi sit Deus; hoc est, quod quicquid est & habet, sit & habeat ad meam salutem. Et p. 360. Credere in Deū, non est tantū Deum agnoscere, sed etiam in Deo fiduciam habere. Alinqui etiam Diabolus habet Notitiam Dei & promissionum ejus: sed non habet fiduciam: Ideò Notitia ejus non est fides Justificans, sed Historica. And p. 191. Quid est Credo in Jesum silium Dei unigenitum? Resp. Credo Jesū esse silium Dei— sed hoc non est satìs, nam etiam Di•boli hoc credunt —Itaque addendū. 2. Credo mihi, hoc est, in meam salutē eum esse filiū Dei. p. 213 Credere in Christū Dominū nostrū; hoc est ita crede Christū Dominū nostrum, ut in eo fiduciam collocemus. Cum ⟨p. 67⟩igitur dicimus nos credere in Dominum nostrum, credimus—Filium Dei mihi quoque esse Dominum, & me quoque esse ejus subditum h. e. me quoque ejus sanguine esse redemptum & servari perpetuò, ac proinde me obligatum ei esse ad gratitudinem; Dominium ejus mihi esse salutare; me servari ab eo tanquam possessionem charissimam — Pag. 229. Quid est credere in Christum crucifixum? est credere Christum pro me factum esse maledictioni obnoxium, ut me ab ea liberaret. So Pag. 240. to the Question, Quid est credere in Christum mortuum• he gives more largely the like Answer. And Pag 268. he gives the like answer to the Question, Quid est credere in Jesum Cristum, qui ascendit in coelum?] I am loth to weary my self & others with citing Testimonies in a known case. Its well known that this or to this purpose is the common Exposition of the Protestants of the Creed and Baptismal Profession, and that they maintain it against the Papists, to be true saving faith that is meant in the words, (I believe in God the Father, in Jesus Christ, in the holy Ghost) I doubt not to cite forty & forty more to prove this▪ when any shall show me that it will be worth the labour. Yet I must say, that I approve not fully of some of their descriptions of justifying or saving faith which they hereupon give in: but yet they truly maintain that it meaneth saving faith I believe;
