IF thou wilt therefore be at peace with God, and love him, thou must turn to the promises of God, and to yt Gospel, which is called of Paul in the 1place before rehearsed to the Corinthians, the ministration of righteousness, and of the spirit. For faith bringeth pardon, and forgiveness freely purchased by Christs blood, and bringeth also the sprite, the sprite looseth the bonds of the devil, and setteth us at liberty.
