The faith of the fathers. Or, The articles of the true religion, all of them exhibited in the express words of the Old Testament. Partly, to confirm those who do possess that religion of God, and His Messiah.

A. Yes. It is written, Dan 7 9, 10. I beheld, until the Thrones were pitched down, and the Ancient of Days did Sit, whose Garment was white as Snow, and the Hair of His Head like the pure Wool; His Throne was like the Fiery Flame, and His Wheels as Burning Fire. A Fiery Stream issued, and came forth from before Him; Thousands of Thousands Ministered unto Him, and Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand stood before Him; the Judgment was Set, and the Books were opened.
