* Quest. But why do you say that this Doctrine is to be found, especially in the Holy Scriptures of the New Testament?
* Answ. It may be said, That the Doctrine which teacheth us to know God, and Jesus Christ, is to be found especially in the Scriptures of the New Testament, for these causes.
1. Because that of this Doctrine which was hidden in the Old Testament, and there contained in a Mystery, is in the New Testament opened and revealed.
2. Because the New Testament is an History of many things, which we are to believe as already done; which in the Old Testament are only prophesied of, and promised.
3. Because there are some things added in the New Testament, which are not to be found in the Old.
