Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 16:31

31 And they said , Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved , and thy house.

This is the sum of the Gospel. Christ apprehended by faith, serves for Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption, as 1 Cor. 1.30. But then this precious Faith must be such as works by love, as purifies the heart, Chap. 15.9. as overcomes the world, [illegible: 1 letter] John 5.4. as quenches the fiery darts of the devil, Eph. 6.16. and is deservedly called, a most holy faith, Jude 20.

Thou shalt by this means come to obtain that life thou dost so much desire after; and not only thy self, but (God that gives more than we ask) thy children and family shall be saved; in as much as the Covenant, where it is entred into, is not only with them, but with their children.
