But how shall they call on him in whom * 1.1 they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a Preacher?
Where there is no vision, the people de∣cay but he that keepeth the Law is blessed. * 1.2
My people are destroyed for lack of know∣ledge: * 1.3 because thou hast refused knowledge, I will also refuse thee, that thou shalt be no Priest to me: and seeing thou hast for got∣ten the Law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
2. As also by the administration of the Sacraments.
After he received the sign of circumcisi∣on, * 1.4 as the seal of the righteousness of faith, which he had when he was uncircumcised, that he should be the father of all them that believe, not being circumcised; that righteousness might be imputed to them also.
Moreover, brethren, I would not that * 1.5 ye should be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the Sea, &c.
3. And Prayer.
For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
