Demaund What thinges are not agreeing to his wyll that we maye not praye for Aunswer To praye to them that bee dead for any thing as to the virgin Marie or any other for any thing is not agreeing to his wyll For wee haue but onely one mediatour to praye for vs and that is Christ Demaund Doth them that bee deafe heare when they be prayed vnto Aunswer No for the Prophet Esay sayeth vnto the Lorde

aboue and we shall haue it In the tyme of trouble seeke for helpe from aboue and it shall be delyuered If any man be werie of the burden of sinne let him aske for mercie and he shall haue it Doth any man lacke loue from a pure hart toward God and man let him praye for it and God wyll geue it him Or whatsoeuer we haue neede of as we are taught in the Lordes prayer Demaund What is the Lordes prayer

is God the Father and his sonne Iesus Christe our Lorde Demaund Are there seuen sacramentes as the Bishop of Rome affyrmeth Aunswer No but two as we haue sayde before for the other sacramentes can be no sacraments because they want the manifest woordes of promise which shoulde by a visyble sygne be sealed and because there is no commaundement geuen of God wherby we are bounde to obserue them as sacraments Demaund What do you come to receyue Aunswer The holy sacrament of the body and blood of Christe Demaund Why doest thou come to receyue it Aunswer Because God hath commaunded mee saying doo this in remembrance of mee Demaund Of howe many partes consisteth a sacrament Aunswer Of two partes The outwarde Element being a visible signe and the inuisible grace Demaund What is the outwarde

the cuppe of the Lordes blood newe Testament Christe called it his blood not that his blood shoulde be really in it but that it should be the Sacrament of his blood Demaund Was this Supper ordayned of Christe to be offered as a Sacrifice to God the Father for remission of sinnes Aunswer No truly for when Christe dyed vpon the Crosse he once fullye made that onely euerlasting
