Whether I do not believe That every word in the Common Prayer Book is in the Bible either literally or rationally deduced thence v. g. for the Confession Almighty God Gen. 17.1 And most merciful Father Exod. 34.6 We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep Psal 119.176 We have followed too much the devises and desires of our own hearts Jer. 18.12 We have offended against thy holy laws Mat. 7.8 We have left undone those things which we ought to have done 1 Sam. 15.24 And we have done those things which we ought not to have done 1 Sam. 24.5 2 Sam. 12.13 And there is no health in us Psa 38.3 But thou O Lord have mercy upon us miserable offenders Luke 18.13 Spare thou them O God which confess their faults Prov. 28.13 Restore thou them that be penitent Ez. 18.31 According to thy promise declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord Mat. 11 18.

Whether I do not believe those Versicles O God make speed to save us be not in Psal 102.13 Open thou my lips O Lord. And my mouth shall shew forth thy praise Psal 51.15 I might be endless to answer therefore some of your Grand Objections I ask 29. Whether I do not believe Remember not Lord our offenses nor the offenses of our forefathers is a sincere prayer for the living and no sinful prayer for the dead viz. That God would not visit the offenses of our forefathers upon in their children and grounded upon Exo 20. and Ezek. 18. 30.

Whether I do not believe For all them that travel by land or by water all women labouring of child c. is a charitable prayer and answerable to the Apostles command Do good to all Gal. 6.10 Pray for all men 1 Tim 2.3 32. Whether I do not believe By thy holy Nativity Circumcision by thy Agony and bloudy sweat c. is obtestative and the sign of our Faith not affirmative and the sign of an Oath desiring God by these effectual means of the Actions and Passions of Jesus Christ to deliver us from those punishments which are due unto us for our sins 33. Whether I do not believe the first prayer in the Office of Matrimony That God would blesse this couple as Isaac and Rebecca proceeded rather from the holy Ghosts inspiration than from humane invention because if from man onely he would have gone upon reason and made the prayer thus blesse them as Abraham and Sarah or blesse them as Jacob and Rachel for Abraham was Gods first friend jacob was Gods great friend yet neither so nor so but as Isaac and Rebecca because Abraham had his Hagar one Concubine Jacob had his Zilkah and his Bilkah two at least Isaac never any but his Rebecca 34.

I believe Mark 9 24. in God John 14 1. the Father 1 Cor. 1.3 Almighty Gen. 17.1 maker of heaven and earth Gen. 1.1 and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord Rom. 1.3 which was conceived by the holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary Luke 1.35 suffered under Pontius Pilate John 19.1 was Crucified John 19.18 Dead John 19.30 and Buried John 19.42 He descended into Hell Act 2.27 the third day he rose again from the dead 1 Cor. 15.4 He ascended into Heaven and sitteth at the right-hand of God Mar. 10.19 From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead Act 10.42 And in the holy Ghost Mat. 28.19 The holy Catholick Church the communion of Saints Ephes 5.27 the forgiveness of sins Col. 1.14 The Resurrection of the Body 1 Cor. 15.35 and life everlasting John 10.28 36.
