What are the books of the Old Testament?
The books of Moses (otherwise called the Law) and the Prophets; for so are they oftentimes divided in the New Testament, as Mat. 5. 17. & 7. 12. & 22. 40. Luk. 16. 29. & 24. 27. Joh. 1. 45. Act. 13. 15. & 24. 14. & 26. 22. & 28. 23. Where it is to be understood, that the Law is taken for the whole Doctrine of God, delivered by Moses, which containeth not only the Law, but also promises of mercy in Christ, as he himself saith, Joh. 5. 46. If ye did believe Moses, you would also believe me, for Moses wrote of me: and whereas our Saviour Christ, Luk. 24. 44. unto the Law and the Prophets, addeth the Psalms, which are a part of the Prophets, it is because they were most familiar to the godly, and generally known of the people by the daily exercise of them, the former division notwithstanding being perfect.
