TO THE GENTLE AND FRIENDLY READER LIKE as in a Garden there grow diuers Hearbes and Flowers of sundry sortes which do so amaze the beholders as that they are in doubt which to make their choyce off So the holy Scriptures are a plentifull Garden being full replenished with all maner of heauenly comforts and spirituall consolation for the soule of man doth offer vnto vs many sweete flowers and pleasant fruites the chiefe whereof is Fayth in Christ Iesus Our sauiour Christ speaking of the nature and vertue of this Hearbe sayth If ye had Fayth as much as is a grayne of Mustard-seede and should say to this Mulberie-tree Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes and plant thy selfe in the Sea it shoulde obey you Luk. 17. Math. 17 And in an other place Whatsoeuer ye shall aske in prayer if ye beleeue ye shall receaue it Math. 21. And againe I say vnto you Whatsoeuer ye desire when ye pray beleeue that ye shal haue it it shalbe done vnto you Mark 11. And S. Paule saith The Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne that the Promise by the fayth of Iesus Christ should be geuen to them that beleeue And againe Before Fayth came we were kept vnder the Law and shut vp vnto the Promise which should afterwardes be reuealed wherfor the Law was our Scholemaister for we are all the sonnes of God by fayth in Christ Iesus For allyee that are baptised into Christ haue put on Christ. Galla. 3. And S. Paule in the. 10. to the Romans speaking of the Israelites fayth saith They being ignorant of the righteousnes of God and going about to establish their owne righteousnes haue not submitted them selues to the righteousnes of God For saith he Christ is the ende of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth And sayth further If thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus and shalt beleeue in thine hart that God raysed him vp from the death thou shalt be saued For with the hart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes and with the mouth man confesseth vnto saluation Therefore was it that one being desirous to obtayne saluation asked of the Apostles What must I do that I may be saued Who answered Beleeue in the Lord Iesus Christ and thou shalt be saued and thine houshold Act. 16. This is that Hearbe the vertue wherof our sauiour Christ sheweth saying Whosoeuer beleeued in him should not perish but haue eternall lyfe Iohn 3. Holy Iob in his affliction feeling the strength and vertue of this Hearbe did flie vnto Iesus saying I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare But now mine eye seeth thee Iob. 42. The woman of Samaria through the sweete sauour of this Hearbe desired him to giue her of that water that she might not thirst neither come to the Well to draw Iohn 4. The operation and strength of this hearbe enforced the woman that was a sinner to stand at the feete of Iesus behinde him weepeing and began to wash his feete with her teares and did wipe them with the heares of her head and kissed his feete and annoynted them with oyntment Luk. 7. So also an other woman lifted vp her voice and sayd vnto him Blessed is the wombe that bare thee and the pappes which thou hast sucked Luk. 11. And certaine men that were in the Shippe came to him and worshypped him saying Of a trueth thou art the Sonne of God Math. 14. This caused Symon Peter to say Thou art the Christ the sonne of the lyuing God Mat. 16. The Centurion by the scent of this hearbe was prouoked to sende vnto Iesus beseeching him that he would come and heale his seruant being sicke And Iesus comming being not faire from the house the Centuryon sent his friendes to him saying Lord trouble not thy selfe for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roufe But say the worde and my seruant shalbe whole Luk. 7. Math. 8. This also caused a woman hauing a boxe of oyntment of Spicknard very costly to breke the box to power it vpon his head Mark 14. And an other woman who was troubled with a bloody Issue twelue yeeres to say in her selfe If I may touch but his garment only I shalbe whole Math. 9. The Theife through this Fayth sayd vnto Iesus Lord remember me when thou cōmest into thy kingdome Luk. 23. Therfore as the Passion of Christ serueth to none but such as do beleeue so neyther doth Fayth as it is only a bare qualitie or action in mans minde it selfe iustefie vnles it be directed to the body of Christ crucified as to her obiect of whom she receaueth all her vertue And therefore these two must alwayes ioyntly concurre and holde togeather Fayth Christ Iesus crucified This Treatise following gentle Reader teacheth the vse nature and vertue of Fayth in such abundant and excellent manner as it were all one for me to cast a drop of water into the Sea as to take vpon me to enlarge any matter therevpon And yf I should or could I can but reiterate or repeate that which already hath been set downe For the Booke doth so set foorth it selfe as in my poore vnderstanding needeth lytle helpe sauing that some few wordes that were wrong placed I haue amended some others I haue added for the better explanation of the Authour And I haue els folowed the former Coppie with a briefe collection or exposition of a summe of S.
