2. Whether the Gospel hath been always known in the Church, or whether it be any new doctrine.
2. Whether the Gospel hath been alwayes known in the Church, or whether it be any new doctrine.
1The Gospel sometimes signifieth the doctrine of the promise of grace, and of remission of sins freely to be given for the sacrifice of the Messiah, as yet not manifested in the flesh; and sometimes the doctrine of the Messiah already exhibited. In the latter sense and signification the Gospel hath not been of perpetual continuance, but began with the new Testament: In the former meaning it hath always been extant in the Church; for presently after mans fall it was manifested in Paradise to our first parents, and afterwards spread abroad and expounded by the Patriarchs and Prophets, and finally, at length consummated and absolved by Christ, both in the fulfilling or full performance, as also in a more clear declaration of those things which ⟨p. 129⟩had before time been promised in the old Testament. This is confirmed,§1 2By the records of the Apostles, as of Peter; To whom also give all the Prophets witness, that through his name all that believe in him shall receive remission of sins. Of the which salvation the Prophets enquired and searched. Likewise of Paul; which (Gospel) he had promised afore by his Prophets in the holy Scriptures. Of Christ himself also saying, Had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for he wrote of me. §23
