Latin

XX. Sed ut planius & manifestius fiat quid Reformati sentiant de fidei justificantis natura atque essentia, paucis exponenda sunt ea quae docent de ejus objecto, partibus, & actibus. Primum ergo quod spectat fidei salvificae & justificantis objectum, ad illud communiter pertinere affirmant omnia illa quae Deus in verbo suo revelavit. Nec enim quicquam eorum fides illa non suscipit, quum ipsi proponuntur, sed tamen proprium ejus & praecipuum objectum esse censent Evangelii promissiones, quibus misericordia & gratia Dei per Christum offertur omnibus vere credentibus & resipiscentibus.
