Chapter Ii. Of The Law Of Faith, Or Covenant Of Grace.
CHAPTER II. OF THE LAW OF FAITH, OR COVENANT OF GRACE.
Ant. I BESEECH you sir, proceed to help us to the true knowledge of the Law of Faith.
Evan. The Law of Faith is the same as the Covenant of Grace, or the gospel, which signifies good, merry, glad, and joyful tidings — which are these: In God’s eternal knowledge, all things are present, and nothing is past or to come. Having foreseen man’s fall, He purposed before all time, and he promised in time, and he performed in the fulness of time, the sending of his Son Jesus Christ into the world to help and deliver fallen mankind.
