The Explication.
THE question concerning Comfort is therefore handled in the first place, because it containeth the main scope and drift of Catechism; whose end is to work in us sure comfort both in our life, and at our death: For to this purpose is all celestial and heavenly doctrine revealed by God, and is principally to be learned of us. The sum of this comfort is, That we are engrafted into Christ by faith, beloved of him, and reconciled unto God, that by him we might be cared for, and saved for ever. Touching this comfort we are to learn, 1 What it is. 2 Of how many parts it consisteth. 3 Why this comfort alone is sound and good. 4 Why it is necessary. 5 How many things are necessary for the attaining thereto.
