A method of the Common places of the second Part.
THe second Part comprehendeth the Common places, which doo expresse the naturall corruption of all mankind by the fall of Adam: the which corrup∣tion of humane nature is the more cleerelie discerned, by opposing it to the iustice of God, which is expressed in the lawe; yet so neuerthelesse, as by the acknowledging of sinnes, we are brought to receiue the grace of God, which was made manifest first to the fathers in the old testament; and then when the time was come, in the Gospell. Afterward is set foorth vnto vs Christ the Messias, who is the wel-spring and substance of all good things; who all maner of waies fulfilled all the parts of our saluation.
