Proposition The holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne The proofe from Gods Word THe proceeding of the holy Ghost from the Father and the Sonne we gather from the holy Scripture which teacheth how The Father sendeth the Comforter which is the holy Ghost in the name of the Sonne a John 14.16 and the Sonne sendeth the Comforter the Spirit of truth from the Father b John 15.26 he proceedeth of the Father c Ibid. and is sent of the Sonne d John 16.7 So with us say the ancient Fathers and Christians He proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne e Symb.

Paul Steven Thomas Others the Bookes of the Anabaptists of H. N. with Popish Legends and the like Or the bookes Apocrypha within the volume of the Bible as the Papists who therefore anathematize and curse so many as take them not for Canonicall e Concil Tri. sess 4. decr de Can scrip 4. Proposition Of the New Testament all the bookes are Canonicall Although some of the ancient Fathers and Doctors accepted not all the bookes contained within the volume of the New Testament for Canonicall yet in the end they were wholly taken and received by the common consent of the Church of Christ in this world for the very Word of God as they are at this day almost in all places where the Gospel is preached and professed Howbeit we judge them Canonicall not so much because learned and godly men in the Church so have doe receive and allow of them as for that the holy Spirit in our hearts doth testifie that they are from God They carry a sacred and divine authoritie with them and they doe also agree in all points with the other bookes of God in the Old Testament Errors and adversaries unto this truth Therefore in admitting all and every of these bookes and acknowledging them to be Canonicall we demonstrate our selves to be against Such as rejected all the new Testament as did the Iewes and our Matthew Hamant a Holinsh chro fol. 1299 Such as allowed part but not the whole new Testament and these were of divers sorts whereof Some allowed of the Evangelists onely Matthew as the Cerdonites b Eus l. 3. c 27. and Ebionites c Iren. l. 1. c. 26 others onely Luke as the Marcionites d Iren. ibid. others onely Iohn as the Valentinians e Idem l. 2. c. 11.

Pauls Epistles took the Epistles unto Timothy and Titus onely to be Canonicall as Marcion the heretike i Iren. l. 3 c. 12 Some as Apocryphal refuse the Epistles unto Philemon k Theod. arg in epist Paul ad Tit. others the Epistles unto the Hebrews the Epistle of S. Iames as Althemerus l Althemer in c. 2. epist Ia. others the first and second Epistles of Iohn with the Epistle of Iude as Wigandus m Wigand others the Epistle unto the Hebrews of Iames the two last of Iohn and of Iude as Cardinall Cajetane n See Whitak against W. Rainolds c. 7. Some rejected the book of Saint Iohns Revelations or the Apocalypse as Heshusius o Lib de 600. error pontif we are also against them which allowed neither the whole new Testament nor those bookes wholly which they embraced as the Marcionites who defaced all those places in the Gospel after Luke and in the Epistles which concerned either the divinitie or humanity of our Saviour Christ p Iren l. 2. c. 29 And lastly are we against them which receive the whole new Testament but deface and put out such texts as mislike them as the Turkes who scrape out whatsoever they finde touching the passion of Christ alleadging how it was added purposely by the Iewes in derision of Christians q Aul. l. 2. p 5 7. Article Of the Old Testament 1. The Old Testament is not contrary to the New For both in the Old New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ who is the onely Mediatour betweene God and man being both God and man 2. Wherfore they are not to be heard which faine that the old Fathers did looke onely for transitorie promises Although the Law given from God by Moses as touching 3 Ceremonies and Rites do not bind Christian men 4 nor the civill precepts thereof ought of necessitie to be received in any Common-wealth yet notwithstanding no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the commandements which are called morall The Propositions 1. The Old Testament is not contrary to the New 2. The old Fathers looked for eternall happinesse through Christ as well as for temporall blessings 3. Christians are not bound at all to the observation of the Iudaicall ceremonies 4. The Iudiciall lawes of the Iewes are not necessarily to be received or established in any Common-wealth 5. No Christian man whatsoever is freed from the obedience of the Law Morall 1. Proposition The Old Testament is not contrary to the New The proofe from Gods Word THat the Old Testament is not contrary to the New it may be prooved by many invincible arguments yet it is most apparent in that our Saviour Christ very God and very
