7 Neither yet at every word of God is faith bolstered up (although in all things it subscribe to the truth of God) neither doeth it so much respect his will only whatsoever,1 as his kindness or mercy: yet the same which is offered with his word, and joined with his will and trueth, doeth easily exclude all doubt. Faith therefore is a steadfast and an assured knowledge of Gods kindness towards us, which being grounded upon the trueth of the free promise, in Christ is both revealed to our minds & sealed in our hearts by the holy ghost.
