John 20. 31. S. John saith, that these things are written that we might believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that believing, we might have life through his name; where he speaketh not only of his Gospel, but (being the survivor of the rest of the Apostles) of all their writings: Seeing then that faith by those things that are written, and eternal salvation by faith may be attained, it ought to be no controversy amongst Christians, that the whole Scripture of the old and new Testament doth most richly and abundantly contain all that is necessary for a Christian man to believe, and to do for eternal salvation.
