The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

- 1Of the form of Union.
For the better understanding the form of this union, three things are to be attended. 1. That third being, or thing, wherein Christ and the Believer are united. 2. The bands on Christs part, and on the Believers, by which they are united. 3. The manner of this union.

Concerning the third being, or thing (which for readiness sake in this discourse may be called a tertium) wherein Christ and a Believer are united; (it being premised and remembered, that all union is of two ones, or more, into a third one, arising out of, and distinguished from both) we are carefully to observe, that the Scripture mentions divers Tertiums, or third ones (whence also so many kinds of union may not unprofitably be collected) wherein Christ and the Believer are united, four whereof are these.
