I Have intended (with Gods assistance) to enter upon a Discourse of Faith, which might last till we come to the place, where faith shall be no more. And although my preaching of faith may end before, yet your practising of it must not. The just shall live by faith, and the just must dye in faith.
This Text I have chosen for the foundation of this Discourse: Which, before I come to handle in particular, I shall show what coherence and dependence it hath with the former words. For which purpose, you must know that this Chapter, from the beginning to Verse 22. contains a discourse between Christ and Nicodemus. In which you may observe, 1. The Occasion of the Discourse. 2. The Discourse it self.
