English Confession: faith differently affected by each part of the Word — chiefly receiving Christ
The mid-century English Confession seems to share that whole-Word application sense.
By this faith the Christian believes whatever God reveals, on God’s speaking authority, and is differently moved by each part: obeys commands, trembles at threats, embraces promises for this life and the next.
Chief saving acts: accept and receive Christ, and rest in him alone for justification, sanctification, and eternal life.
Latin
LXXIX. Atque hanc de illa quae sit per fidem applicatione, sententiam fuisse eorum qui Confessionem fidei in Anglia ante aliquot annos ediderunt, colligi posse videtur ex ea quam tradunt fidei salvificae descriptione, quam supra attulimus. Nam ex eorum sensu, Per hanc fidem Christianus verum credit quicquid est verbo Dei revelatum, propter Dei ipsius in verbo loquentis authoritatem, & differenter agit ac afficitur super singulis ejus quae continet istud verbum: mandatis scilicet, obsequens, ad minas contremiscens, & amplectens Dei promissiones, tam quae ad hanc vitam, quam quae ad futuram pertinent. Sed praecipui actus salutaris illius fidei sunt acceptare & recipere Christum, & in eo solo acquiescere ad justificationem, sanctificationem, & vitam aeternam.
