As the act of healing through the eyes of the Israelites and the brazen serpent went together; so, in the act of justifying, these two, faith and Christ, have a mutual relation, and must always concur- faith as the action which apprehendeth, Christ as the object which is apprehended; so that neither the passion of Christ saveth without faith, nor doth faith help unless it be in Christ, its object.

Daniel Cawdrey

Daniel Cawdrey (1588–1664) war ein englischer Geistlicher, presbyterianischer Theologe und Mitglied der Westminster-Synode, der über Jahrzehnte als Pfarrer in Northamptonshire wirkte. Er trat für eine strenge biblische Ausrichtung von Gottesdienst und Kirchenordnung ein, verfasste maßgebliche Schriften zur Sabbatheiligung und vertrat eine kompromisslose Haltung gegen religiöse Toleranz. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er als historischer Vertreter einer schriftzentrierten puritanischen Frömmigkeit, dessen Texte zu geistlicher Demut, Gebet und praktischer Lebensführung bis heute beachtet werden.
