And what is the Old and New Testament but this syllogism. He is the Blessed seed, that is the Son of the Virgin Mary, born in Bethlehem, that shall come in the end of Daniels weeks, that shall come when the Sceptre shall be departed from Judah, &c. He is the true Messiah, the true Christ, saith the Old Testament; here is the yea: Amen, saith the New Testament to this: But Christ is the Son of the Virgin Mary, he suffered these things, that it might be fulfilled; so all is Amen in the New Testament. I say, this is the main reason that all is built on; He in whom all these agree, is the true Messiah; But, saith the New Testament, all these are Amen in Christ: therefore Christ the Son of the Virgin Mary he is the true Messiah. We see whatsoever was prophesied concerning Christ himself, was yea.

There was a virtue from Christ to all former ages, they all had benefit by Christ, as it is proved at large,
