of_o the_o church_n but_o because_o of_o the_o testimony_n and_o persuasion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o doctrine_n contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n proceed_v from_o god_n from_o who_o only_o and_o not_o from_o man_n it_o derive_v its_o authority_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o all_o truth_n contain_v all_o matter_n necessary_o require_v for_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o our_o salvation_n it_o be_v in_o no_o wise_a lawful_a for_o man_n nor_o angel_n to_o add_v unto_o or_o take_v from_o this_o doctrine_n or_o to_o change_v it_o and_o hereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a to_o oppose_v either_o antiquity_n or_o custom_n or_o multitude_n or_o humane_a wisdom_n judgement_n edict_n or_o decree_n or_o council_n or_o vision_n or_o miracle_n unto_o this_o holy_a scripture_n but_o rather_o that_o all_o thing_n ought_v to_o be_v examine_v and_o try_v by_o the_o rule_n and_o square_a thereof_o wherefore_o we_o do_v for_o this_o cause_n allow_v of_o those_o three_o creed_n namely_o the_o apostle_n the_o nicene_n and_o athanasius_n his_o creed_n because_o they_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o word_n of_o god_n we_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o offspring_n of_o adam_n be_v infect_v with_o original_a sin_n which_o be_v a_o vice_n hereditary_a to_o we_o by_o propagation_n and_o not_o only_o by_o imitation_n as_o the_o pelagian_o assert_v who_o error_n be_v detest_v by_o we_o we_o believe_v that_o this_o stain_n of_o original_a sin_n be_v sin_n indeed_o howbeit_o they_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n shall_v never_o be_v condemn_v for_o it_o because_o god_n of_o his_o rich_a grace_n and_o mercy_n do_v not_o impute_v it_o to_o they_o but_o out_o of_o his_o bounty_n do_v deliver_v they_o through_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o wisdom_n and_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n so_o that_o he_o be_v one_o person_n god_n and_o man_n man_n that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o suffer_v in_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v like_o unto_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n sin_n only_o except_v so_o that_o as_o to_o human_a nature_n he_o be_v indeed_o the_o seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o of_o david_n conceive_v in_o due_a time_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n by_o the_o secret_a and_o incomprehensible_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o that_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n to_o wit_n the_o l●rd_n jesus_n christ_n his_o two_o nature_n be_v inseparable_o conjoin_v and_o unite_v yet_o nevertheless_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o each_o nature_n do_v retain_v its_o distinct_a property_n so_o that_o even_o as_o in_o this_o divine_a conjunction_n the_o divine_a nature_n retain_v its_o property_n do_v still_o abide_v uncreated_a infinite_a and_o fill_v all_o place_n so_o also_o the_o humane_a nature_n remain_v finite_a have_v form_n measure_n and_o property_n and_o also_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a give_v immortality_n to_o his_o body_n yet_o he_o never_o deprive_v it_o of_o the_o verity_n of_o its_o nature_n therefore_o we_o do_v so_o consider_v christ_n in_o his_o deity_n as_o that_o we_o do_v not_o rob_v he_o of_o his_o humanity_n we_o believe_v that_o by_o that_o one_o sacrifice_n which_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v account_v righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n and_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v confer_v upon_o we_o to_o be_v our_o alone_a advocate_n and_o that_o he_o command_v we_o in_o our_o prayer_n to_o present_v ourselves_o to_o the_o father_n in_o his_o name_n we_o do_v also_o reject_v those_o mean_n which_o derogate_a from_o the_o satisfaction_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o believe_v where_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o receive_v and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o sacrament_n we_o can_v judge_v that_o there_o be_v any_o church_n for_o we_o believe_v that_o the_o sacrament_n be_v absolve_v unto_o the_o word_n that_o they_o may_v be_v pledge_n and_o token_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n we_o believe_v that_o god_n will_v have_v the_o world_n rule_v by_o law_n and_o civil_a government_n that_o there_o may_v be_v som●_n sort_n of_o bridle_n by_o which_o the_o unruly_a lust_n of_o the_o world_n may_v be_v restrain_v and_o that_o therefore_o he_o appoint_v king_n and_o commonwealth_n and_o other_o kind_n of_o principality_n whether_o hereditary_a or_o otherwise_o and_o not_o that_o alone_a but_o also_o what_o pertain_v to_o the_o ministration_n of_o justice_n whereof_o he_o avouch_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o author_n therefore_o have_v he_o deliver_v the_o sword_n into_o the_o magistrate_n hand_n that_o so_o sin_n commit_v against_o both_o table_n of_o god_n law_n not_o only_o against_o the_o second_o but_o first_o also_o may_v be_v suppress_v and_o therefore_o because_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o this_o order_n we_o must_v not_o only_o suffer_v magistrate_n who_o he_o have_v set_v over_o we_o but_o we_o must_v also_o give_v they_o much_o honour_n and_o reverence_n as_o unto_o his_o officer_n and_o lieutenant_n which_o have_v receive_v their_o commission_n from_o he_o to_o
