of the Pope when he shews his Teeth and cannot Bite and this is the Pope's Sanctity or Sanctum Sanctorum which is neither derivative from Christ nor from his Apostles For Christ came not to destroy Men's Lives but to save them Luke 9.56 And now I hope no Protestant whatsoever will be against me for acknowledging King William and Queen Mary to be supreme and denying the Pope's Supremacy And I also deny all the Errors of t●e Church of Rome as their Doctrin of Transubstantiation of changing the Elements of Bread and Wine into the real substance of the Body and Blood of Christ and as if Christ was Corporally and Personally present in their Administation of their Sacrament I confess Christ was personally present when he was upon the Earth and Administred the Sacrament to his Disciples but not since but however if they can make Christ of Bread and Wine they could have done that many Years before Christ was upon the Earth if their Religion is of such Antiquity for they will plead great Antiquity to their Religion so that it is very probable their Opinion may agree to the Jews who do not believe that Christ was ever upon the Earth but do expect a Messiah to come but this is a Juggling Trick of the Priests for them to drink up all the Wine and to content the People with a Bit of Wafer or a Bit of Bread whereas all Men may be Astonished with Admiration at the infinite Condiscention of Christ in taking our human Nature upon Him who was God manifest in the Flesh 1 Tim. 3 16. Yea to prove that Christ was upon the Earth he was seen by multitudes in working of Miracles and was frequent with his Disciples and at that time when he brake Bread and gave unto them saying This do in remembrance of me Luke 22.19 1 Cor. 11.24 25. So that the Administration of the Sacrament is a Pledg of the Death and Passion of Christ in order for us to live upon him by Faith in hopes of Eternal Life through the Merits of Christ our Noble Benefactor to whom be ascribed all Gratitude and Holy Adoration for the Benefits we have received by him And so it is for the Confirmation of the Faith of all true Believers in a devout Commemoration of the Agony and Bloody Sweat of the Cross and Passion of the Barbarous Crucifixion and of the precious Death and Burial of Christ his Victorious Descention and Triumph over Death the Grave and Hell Rom. 6.9 Death hath no more Dominion over him 1 Cor. 15.54 Death is swallowed up in Victory in his glorious Resurrection and Ascention up into Heaven where he siteth on the Right Hand of God continually making intercession for us Heb. 7.25 Rom. 8 34. Who has made an Atonement and Expiation to God the Father for the Sins of the whole World to all that will believe in him 1 John 2.2 John 3.15 so that there is hopes of Salvation by a true Faith in the Merits of Christ for the worst of Sinners but there is no Salvation in the Pope who Exalts himself to be above Christ And that he shall come again in Glory to Judg both Quick and Dead at which Glorious appearance of Christ it shall be a Day of Jubilee to the Righteous for then all Tears shall be wip'd away from their Eyes as it is in Rev. 7.17 Isa 25.8 Rev. 21.4 all Troubles Commotions and Perturbations shall be turn'd into solid Peace and Tranquility so that they shall never suffer under any more Misery of Tormenting Pains and Anguish groanings of Pain Grief and Anxiety of Spirit and then all Sorrow shall be turn'd into Mirth for in that Day Christ will say to those on his Right Hand Come ye blessed of my Father inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the Foundation of the World Matth. 25.31 32 33 34. And thus Christ himself will receive them into the Celestial Paradice the Kingdom of Glory where they shall receive Diadems of Righteousness of Life Immortallity Eternal Life and of endless Bliss and Glory 2 Tim. 3.8 Rev. 2.10 For the Righteous shall be Crown'd with Eternal Glory 1 Pet. 5.4 And thus they shall Enjoy Eternal Raptures of Joy and Felicity in being made Partakers of the Inheritance with the Saints in immensity of Light and Glory and in singing Halelujahs with all the Martyrs Saints and Angels in the Glorious Beatifick Vision of the Omnipotent Essence Isa 28.5 But it will be a Day of Terror to the Wicked when Christ shall pronounce that dreadful Sentence upon them Go ye Cursed into Everlasting Fire prepared for the Devil and his Angels Which is all in the Faith of the Worthy Receivers of the Lord's Supper and thus they are Established in their Faith and hopes ot Heaven of this Crown of Righteousness Immortallity Eternal Life and Glory through the Merits of Christ against the Fears of Hell and so the Sacrament to all true Believers Is an outward visible Sign of an inward Spiritual Grace And so I do deny all Popish Idolatry of their Worshipping Christ upon the Cross the Picture of the Virgin Mary Beads and Crucifixes which is expresly forbidden Exod. 20.3 4 5 c. And I do likewise deny all Popish Prayers to the Virgin Mary Saints and Angels to make Intercession For there is but one Advocate betwixt God and Man Christ Jesus 1 Tim. 2.5 1 John 2.1 Heb. 7.25 Acts 4.12 And I do also deny all the Papists Works of Merits and of their Ostentation in their Works of Supererogation and though they have the Proud Pharisee in the Gospel to vindicate them in their Works of Merits yet I having nothing to trust and hope in but in and through the Merits of Christ for Salvation for whatsoever I can do I am but sinful Dust and Ashes and so I may say with Job Chap. 7. v. 20. I have Sinned what shall I say unto thee Oh thou Preserver of Men And Job 42.6 Wherefore I Abhor my self and Repent in Dust and Ashes And so with the Publican Luke 18.13 God be Merciful to me a Sinner and now that Man that saith he hath no Sin he acknowledges the Popes Infallibility and the truth is not in him 1 John 1.8 And thus I deny all Popish Absolution for there is no Man can forgive Sins that is committed against God but God only Dan 9.9 Ephes 1.7 And so I deny all Venial Sins among Papists whose Guilt their bare Confession doth Expiate and as any of them can obtain Absolution for a Sum of Mony upon a bare Confession of their Sins so when any of them desires to be Excused from Confession of their Sins it is but giving a greater Sum of Mony to their Priest or Father Confessor or whosoever he is and he will take their Guilt and Confession upon himself and this is their Expiation which is contrary to the Word of God Isa 53.4 5. Heb. 9.28 1 John 2.2 And besides we are to Confess
