A17218	Looke from Adam, and behold the Protestants faith and religion evidently proued out of the holy Scriptures against all atheists, papists, loose libertines, and carnall gospellers: and that the faith which they professe, hath continued from the beginning of the world, and so is the true and ancient faith. Herein hast thou also a short summe of the whole Bible, and a plaine manifestation, that all holy men who have pleased God, have beene saved through this Christian faith alone.; Alte Glaube.

take_v from_o it_o now_o do_v god_n make_v a_o testament_n or_o bequest_n with_o abraham_n and_o promise_v he_o therein_o that_o he_o will_v give_v he_o a_o seed_n in_o who_o he_o and_o his_o child_n shall_v be_v save_v and_o the_o same_o salvation_n do_v he_o express_o appoint_v in_o one_o and_o not_o in_o many_o wherefore_o we_o must_v add_v nothing_o unto_o god_n bequest_n see_v he_o have_v promise_v we_o salvation_n in_o christ_n only_o and_o not_o in_o many_o that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o no_o creature_n not_o in_o our_o own_o power_n and_o work_n of_o the_o law_n neither_o must_v we_o think_v that_o the_o law_n be_v afterward_o add_v to_o the_o intent_n as_o though_o christ_n be_v not_o able_a to_o save_v we_o or_o as_o though_o we_o may_v obtain_v salvation_n by_o our_o own_o work_n out_o of_o the_o law_n for_o thus_o follow_v it_o in_o paul_n word_n to_o word_n 3.17_o this_o testament_n i_o say_v which_o afore_v be_v confirm_v to_o christward_o be_v not_o disannul_v or_o make_v of_o none_o effect_v by_o the_o law_n which_o be_v give_v beyond_o four_o hundred_o year_n thereafter_o for_o if_o the_o inheritance_n beget_v by_o the_o law_n then_o be_v it_o not_o give_v by_o the_o promise_n but_o god_n give_v it_o free_o unto_o abraham_n by_o promise_n these_o be_v paul_n word_n out_o of_o the_o which_o every_o man_n may_v understand_v that_o to_o the_o generation_n of_o man_n work_n salvation_n be_v give_v only_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n through_o the_o promise_n and_o through_o no_o deserve_n at_o all_o and_o that_o the_o law_n of_o the_o promise_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o bequest_n and_o testament_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o minish_v but_o that_o the_o sum_n remain_v without_o blemish_n namely_o that_o salvation_n be_v give_v we_o free_o but_o here_o may_v one_o ask_v objection_n see_v that_o the_o salvation_n be_v clear_o enough_o express_v afore_o the_o law_n and_o be_v ascribe_v only_o unto_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n why_o will_v god_n then_o add_v the_o law_n why_o be_v he_o not_o content_a with_o the_o testament_n alone_o answer_n therefore_o follow_v it_o now_o in_o paul_n why_o then_o serve_v the_o law_n 3.19_o it_o be_v add_v because_o of_o transgression_n till_o the_o seed_n come_v that_o be_v promise_v these_o be_v paul_n word_n which_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v the_o law_n be_v not_o give_v because_o of_o the_o promise_n to_o make_v it_o of_o none_o effect_n and_o to_o teach_v that_o man_n be_v save_v by_o work_n and_o not_o through_o the_o grace_n and_o free_a liberty_n of_o god_n give_v but_o it_o be_v give_v because_o of_o transgression_n that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o that_o the_o people_n of_o god_n in_o egypt_n have_v transgress_v the_o way_n and_o truth_n of_o their_o father_n and_o know_v no_o more_o what_o be_v sin_n right_a or_o unright_a wherein_o stand_v salvation_n or_o damnation_n for_o they_o be_v corrupt_a through_o the_o long_a dwell_n among_o the_o idolater_n of_o egypt_n therefore_o do_v god_n ordain_v they_o the_o law_n out_o of_o the_o which_o they_o may_v learn_v the_o will_n of_o god_n what_o sin_n right_a or_o unright_a be_v and_o to_o know_v themselves_o to_o go_v into_o themselves_o and_o to_o consider_v how_o that_o the_o holy_a work_n which_o god_n require_v be_v not_o in_o their_o own_o power_n for_o the_o which_o cause_n all_o the_o world_n have_v great_a need_n of_o a_o mediator_n promise_n and_o thus_o the_o law_n be_v give_v to_o further_a the_o promise_n namely_o that_o we_o through_o the_o law_n may_v be_v lead_v only_o unto_o christ_n for_o thus_o follow_v it_o in_o paul_n word_n 24._o and_o it_o be_v give_v of_o angel_n by_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n a_o mediator_n be_v not_o a_o mediator_n of_o one_o only_a but_o god_n be_v one_o be_v the_o law_n then_o against_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n god_n forbid_v howbeit_o if_o there_o have_v be_v give_v a_o law_n which_o can_v have_v give_v life_n than_o no_o doubt_n righteousness_n shall_v come_v of_o the_o law_n but_o the_o scripture_n have_v shut_v up_o all_o under_o sin_n that_o the_o promise_n shall_v come_v by_o the_o faith_n on_o jesus_n christ_n give_v unto_o they_o that_o believe_v before_o faith_n come_v that_o be_v to_o say_v jesus_n christ_n in_o who_o we_o believe_v we_o be_v keep_v and_o shut_v up_o under_o the_o law_n unto_o the_o faith_n which_o shall_v afterward_o be_v declare_v thus_o be_v the_o law_n our_o schoolmaster_n unto_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v be_v make_v righteous_a by_o faith_n etc._n etc._n by_o these_o word_n of_o paul_n may_v every_o man_n understand_v now_o for_o what_o cause_n the_o law_n be_v give_v and_o how_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o foresay_a seed_n but_o rather_o bring_v we_o from_o ourselves_o and_o from_o all_o creature_n only_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n the_o law_n therefore_o confirm_v the_o first_o promise_n concern_v the_o bless_a seed_n and_o teach_v that_o we_o obtain_v all_o salvation_n in_o he_o only_o by_o howbeit_o it_o be_v also_o a_o rule_n of_o our_o life_n inform_v we_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o what_o we_o ought_v to_o leave_v

whereas_o doubtless_o the_o outward_a behold_v of_o the_o brazen_a serpent_n save_v not_o they_o that_o be_v poison_v but_o it_o be_v god_n which_o will_v so_o declare_v that_o his_o son_n shall_v

and_o like_v as_o moses_n set_v up_o the_o serpent_n in_o the_o wilderness_n even_o so_o must_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v lift_v up_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v

that_o afterward_o be_v ordain_v and_o appoint_v concern_v the_o tabernacle_n the_o priesthood_n and_o the_o oblation_n pertain_v to_o the_o sum_n of_o the_o first_o table_n for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n call_v it_o his_o law_n precept_n commandment_n use_n and_o statute_n ordinance_n and_o service_n question_n and_o if_o thou_o ask_v how_o can_v god_n

also_o all_o figure_n sacrifice_n and_o ceremony_n do_v cease_v for_o in_o christ_n be_v all_o perfection_n refuse_v yet_o shall_v we_o not_o therefore_o cast_v away_o the_o old_a testament_n as_o

and_o wherefore_o every_o thing_n be_v thus_o and_o thus_o ordain_v use_v and_o speak_v now_o shall_v every_o man_n first_o have_v a_o courage_n to_o read_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n when_o

as_o it_o be_v oftentimes_o mention_v in_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n and_o our_o lord_n himself_o when_o he_o go_v with_o the_o two_o disciple_n towards_o emaus_n 24.13_o and_o preach_v so_o

that_o so_o it_o behove_v christ_n to_o suffer_v and_o to_o enter_v into_o his_o glory_n this_o be_v the_o cause_n also_o that_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n hang_v altogether_o and_o refer_v themselves_o to_o the_o scripture_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o that_o these_o can_v be_v right_o understand_v without_o the_o other_o no_o more_o than_o the_o gloss_n without_o
