But what this Faith is, which Osorius describes after this manner, let him look to that. Verily any Man may think it is not this Faith, which Paul speaks of, in disputing of Righteousness, or 1to which we from the Authority of Paul affirm that Righteousness should be attributed properly. Though in the mean while we deny not, that this Faith is true, which is asserted by Osorius and others, ⟨p. 280⟩whereby, for the Authority of the Church teaching, we believe whatsoever things belong to Religion; which though they are not seen, as Lombard says, yet 2they are believed whether they are past, or expected to come. As he that gives credit to the things contained in the Articles of the Creed, and that are expressly mentioned in the Scriptures: He that believes and professes, that the World was made by the Word of God, and that God is, and that he Created all things of no thing.
