answer_v be_v make_v many_o way_n first_o that_o abraham_n beleve_v not_o only_o touch_v issue_n but_o chief_o touch_v those_o thing_n which_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n be_v promise_v unto_o he_o namely_o that_o god_n will_v be_v unto_o he_o both_o a_o shield_n and_o a_o reward_n and_o moreover_o then_o this_o he_o foresee_v christ_n in_o his_o posterity_n wherefore_o in_o the_o

he_o which_o talk_v with_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o no_o man_n have_v see_v god_n at_o any_o tyme._n therefore_o whatsoever_o thing_n we_o have_v either_o see_v or_o know_v of_o he_o the_o son_n which_o be_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o father_n he_o have_v declare_v it_o unto_o us._n wherefore_o if_o he_o beleve_v god_n he_o beleve_v in_o christ_n we_o have_v oftentimes_o promise_n christ_n the_o root_n of_o all_o promise_n also_o declare_v that_o in_o all_o promise_n be_v wrap_v and_o infolden_a as_o the_o root_n and_o foundation_n that_o promise_n which_o be_v touch_v christ_n neither_o seem_v they_o to_o think_v amiss_o which_o affirm_v that_o always_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n be_v the_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n which_o show_v forth_o itself_o in_o singular_a gift_n either_o temporal_a or_o spiritual_a wherefore_o when_o the_o elder_n conceive_v a_o hope_n of_o victory_n of_o delivery_n from_o enemy_n and_o from_o other_o calamity_n they_o chief_o do_v put_v their_o confidence_n in_o the_o divine_a goodness_n because_o by_o it_o god_n be_v move_v merciful_o and_o appease_o to_o geve_v unto_o they_o these_o singular_a gift_n and_o he_o can_v not_o be_v appease_v towards_o they_o but_o by_o christ_n wherefore_o in_o that_o they_o beleve_v any_o of_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n they_o beleve_v in_o christ_n which_o thing_n also_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v mindful_a of_o when_o we_o ask_v our_o daily_a bread_n &_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v yâ—_z we_o shall_v not_o want_v such_o thing_n as_o pertain_v to_o our_o

that_o which_o belong_v unto_o the_o thing_n be_v ascribe_v unto_o the_o sacrament_n or_o sign_n and_o because_o baptism_n promise_v remission_n of_o sin_n by_o christ_n and_o signify_v it_o and_o

to_o move_v we_o when_o as_o they_o thus_o write_v that_o faith_n alone_o be_v not_o sufficient_a unto_o salvation_n for_o they_o understand_v that_o of_o eternal_a salvation_n unto_o which_o we_o
