VERS. I.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉.
The beginning of the Gospel.
THE Preaching and Baptism of John was the very gate, and entrance into the state and dispensation of the Gospel. For
I. He opened the door of a new Church by a new Sacrament of admission into the Church.
II. Poynting as it were with the finger at the Messias that was coming, he shewed the beginning 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. of the world to come.
III. In that manner, as the Jews by Baptism admitted Gentile Proselytes, into the Jewish Church; he admits both Jews and Gentiles into the Gospel Church.
IV. For the doctrine of justification by works, which the Schools of the Scribes had defiled all Religion with, he brings in a new (and yet not a new) and truly saving doctrin of Faith and Repentance.
