Vpon this I reply, that this instance o∣uerthrowes not my reason, because reco∣uering out of the snare of the Diuell, is a translation from being the Diuels child to be Gods childe. Now we are not made Gods children by repentance, but prepa∣red to be Gods children, but it is directly sayd so ofa faith.
It is plainely sayd of faith in Christ thatb it is the victory whereby wee ouer∣come the world.c To the acknowledging of our Lord and sauiour Iesus Christ, is attri∣buted the escaping of the pollutions of the world, namely for time to comed. Through the knowledge of Christ, is giuen all things, which appertaine to life and godlines, name∣ly, to doe good workes and to performe new obedience in a setled & sincere course which are no where sayd of repentance.
