Chapter 4 - The Revelation of the Promise
We constantly believe that God, after the fearful and horrible departure of man from
his obedience, did seek Adam again, call upon him, rebuke and convict him of his sin, and
in the end made unto him a most joyful promise, that "the seed of the woman should
bruise the head of the serpent," that is, that he should destroy the works of the
devil. This promise was repeated and made clearer from time to time; it was embraced with
joy, and most constantly received by all the faithful from Adam to Noah, from Noah to
Abraham, from Abraham to David, and so onwards to the incarnation of Christ Jesus; all (we
mean the believing fathers under the law) did see the joyful day of Christ Jesus, and did
rejoice.
