Q. 19. Whence knowest thou this?

Question. Whence knowest thou this?

Answer. From the holy Gospel which God first revealed in Paradise (Gen. 3;15); and afterwards published by the Patriarchs and Prophets (Acts 10;43); and was pleased to represent it by the shadows of sacrifices, and the other ceremonies of the law (Col. 2;17); and lastly has accomplished it by his only begotten son (John 1;29).
