Summary
I am the one who in Genesis figures by the water that flows through the four rivers that rule the terrestrial paradise. From that water, as the Psalm says, God nourished the people. And I am that Law that God through Jeremiah said He wanted to write on the hearts of men. And the Law that Isaiah and Micah prophesied would come forth from mount Zion. On which mount Christ Jesus fulfilled these prophecies proclaiming me as his Gospel. And he commanded his disciples to preach me through the entire world to all creation; and who believed in me, and were baptized, would be saved, as you may be by accepting this his doctrine, and through this preaching and professing I am known to all the earth, as I said to you.
