Quest. You said, as I remember, in your first Answer, That the best and chiefest thing we are to learn, is the Doctrine that teacheth us to know God, and Jesus Christ: But why said you so?
Answ. I said, that the Doctrine ⟨p. 16⟩which teacheth us to know God, and Jesus Christ, is the best and chiefest thing we are to learn, for this Reason; Because this Doctrine which is Truth, revealeth to us the Promise of Eternal Life, and directeth us in the way and means of obtaining this Eternal Life.
Quest. How prove you this?
Answ. I prove it from the words of our Saviour, which we have now been discoursing of, namely, This is Eternal Life, that Men may know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent.
