John3:14

Verſe 14. And as Moſes lifted up the ſerpent,] There it was, vide, et vive: here, crede, et vive. And as there, he that beheld the ſerpent, though but with a weak ſquint-eye, yea, but with halfe an eye, Selniccer. in pedag, Chriſt. pag. 321. was cured. So here, if we looke upon Chriſt with the eye, though but a weak faith, we ſhall be ſaved. Doctour Cruciger when he lay a dying, cried out, Credo languidâ fide, ſed tamen fide. I beleeve with a weak faith, but with a faith, ſuch as it is.
