CHAPTER XII.
2.Q. What learn you from Martha’s serving, though Christ before this had condemned her too great solicitude?
A. That religion does not call us from our common business, but teaches us to follow it, with a proper principle, obedience to God; and that too not at the expence of the one thing needful.
5.Q. What learn you hence?
A. That all who speak well, are not saints, though it is best to judge charitably of all.
8.Q. What learn you hence?
A. That if Christ was not to be with us always, then he is not bodily present at the mass, as the Romish church supposes.
39.Q. Did the Prophets foretelling their hardness of heart, lay the Jews under a necessity of not believing?
A. No more than our knowing the sun will rise to-morrow, obliges the sun to rise. The Prophet foreknew by the Spirit of God that it would be so, therefore foretold it.
40.Q. Does God harden any one’s heart?
