Welcome.

For completeness, another "words" reference is :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Martyn
Henry Martyn (1781 -1812), Persian Bible translator

Who translated the NT and Psalms into Persian and did other excellent translating work in his brief life. We are trying to get the exact words of his translation and/or commentary.

I looked at a couple of web copies and did not see a footnote.

http://www.reformedreader.org/ccc/16.../Chapter01.htm
The London Baptist Confession

and some other Confessions have the same language. Anyway we know the reference.

Your double negative is confusing, and you are apparently reading something into the Confession.

There can be a lot being discussed on the new thread over time. I have a few posts I might extract and bring over. First, I simply wanted to straighten out the commentary issue.

Shalom,
