the Father Haec notata non habentur in Edw. 6. begotten from everlasting of the Father the very and eternal God of one substance with the Father took mans nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin of her substance so that two whole and perfect Natures that is say the Godhead and Manhood were joyned together in one person never to be divided whereof is one Christ very God and very man who truly suffered was crucified dead and buried to reconcile his Father to us and to be a sacrifice not only for original guilt but also for actual sins of men 3. Of the going down of Christ into Hell AS Christ died for us and was buried Nam Corpus usque ad resurrectionem in Sepulchro jacuit spiritus ab illo emissus cum spiritibus qui in carcere sive in inferno detinebantur fuit illisque praedicavit quemadmodum testatur Petri locus Sic Artic Edw. 6. so also is it to be believed that he went down into Hell 4. Of the Resurrection of Christ CHrist did truly rise again from death and took again his body with flesh bones and all things appertaining to the perfection of mans nature wherewith he ascended into Heaven and there sitteth until he return to judge all men at the last day 5. Of the holy Ghost Non habentur in R. Edw. 6. Artic. THE holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son is of one Substance Majesty and Glory with the Father and the Son very and eternal God 6. Of the sufficiency of the holy Scriptures for Salvation HOly Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation so that whatsoever is not read therein † Licet intetdum a fidelibus ut pium conducibile ad ordinem decorum admittatur nor may be proved thereby * is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an Article of Faith or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation In the name of the holy Scripture we do understand those Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church Of the Names and numbers of the Canonical Books Non habetur in R Edw 6. Artic. GEnesis Exodus Leviticus Numeri Deuteronomium Josue Judges Ruth The 1. Book of Samuel The 2. Book of Samuel The 1. Book of Kings The 2. Book of Kings The 1. Book of Chronicles The 2.

Prophets the greater 12. Prophets theless And the other Books as Hierome saith the Church doth read for example of life and insturction of manners but yet doth not apply them to establish any Doctrine Such are these following The 3. Book of Esdras The 4. Book of Esdras The Book of Tobias The Book of Judeth The rest of the Book of Hester The Book of Wisdom Jesus the Son of Sirach Baruch the Prophet The song of the three Children The Story of Susanna Of Bell and the Dragon The Prayer of Manasses The 1. Book of Maccabees The 2. Book of Maccabees All the Books of the New Testament as they are commonly received we do receive and account them Canonical 7. Of the Old Testament THe Old Testament is not contrary to the New Testamentum vetus quasi novo contrarium sit non est repudiendum ed retisnendum for both in the Old and New Testaments everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ who is the only Mediator between God and man being both God and man Wherefore they are not to be heard which feign that the old fathers did look only for transitory promises Although the Law given from God by Moses as touching Ceremonies and Rites do not bind Christian men nor the civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any Common-wealth Vid. haec Art 18. notata ex R. Edw. yet notwithstanding no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the Commandments which are called Moral 8. Of the three Creeds THE three Creeds Nice Creed Athanasius Creed and that which is commonly called the Apostles Creed ought thorowly to be received and believed for they may be proved by most certain warrant of holy Scripture 9. Of Original or Birth-sin ORiginal sin standeth not in the following of Adam as the Pelagians do vainly talk † Et hodie Anabaptistae repetunt but is the fault and corruption of the nature of every man that naturally is ingendred of the off-spring of Adam whereby man is far gone from original righteousness and is of his own nature inclined to evil so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the spirit and therefore in every person born into this world it deserveth Gods wrath damnation And this infection of nature doth remain yea in them that are regenerated whereby the lust of the flesh called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which some do expound the wisdom some sensuality some the affection some the desire of the flesh is not subject to the Law of God And although there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized yet the Apostle doth confess that concupiscence and lust hath of it self the nature of sin De Gratia GRatia Christi seu S. Spiritus qui per eundem datur cor lapideum aufert dat cor carneum Atque licet ex nolentibus quae recta sunt volentes faciat ex volentibus prava nolentes reddat voluntati nihilominus violentiam nullam infert nemo hâc de causâ cum peccaverit s●ipsum excusare potest quasi nolens aut coactus peccaverit ut eam ob causam accusare non mereatur aut damnari Artic. Edwardi 6. decimus 10. Of Free-will THe condition of man after the fall of Adam is such that he cannot turn and prepare himself by his own natural strength and good works to faith and calling upon God wherefore we have no power to do good works pleasant and acceptable to God without the Grace of God by Christ preventing us that we may have a good will and working with us when we have that good will 11. Of the Justification of Man WE are accounted righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ by faith Haec non habentur in Reg. Edward 9. Artic. Justificatio ex sola Fide Jesu Christi eo sensu quo in Homilia de Justificatione explicatur est certissima saluberrima Christianorum doctrina Sic in Reg. Edward 6. Artic. 11. and not for our own works or deservings Wherefore that we are justified by faith only is a most wholsom Doctrine and very full of comfort as more largely is expressed in the Homily of Justification 12. Of good works ALbeit that good works which are the fruits of faith and follow after Iustification Hic Artic non habetur

vertue of their Oaths they shall present at the said Visitations the names of such Persons whom they know or hear of or justly suspect to be delinquent in all or any of these particulars and that under the pains of the highest censures of the Church that so these Delinquents may be legally cited and being found obstinate they shall be Excommunicated and such Excommunication shall be pronounced both in the Cathedral Church of the Diocess and in the several Parishes where such Recusants live and every third month they shall be again publickly repeated in the places aforesaid that all may take notice of those Sentences And because there are places which either have or pretend to have exemptions in which such Delinquents do usually affect to make their aboad Therefore we enjoyn that all Bishops shall within their several Dioceses send unto such places one or more of their Chaplains or some of their Officers whom they may relie on to make strict enquiry after Offenders in those kinds who diligently returning their information accordingly the said Bishop shall certifie such informations to his Metropolitan that the aforesaid proceedings may forthwith issue from some higher Courts in these cases whereof by reason of the said exemptions the inferiour Courts can take no cognisance But if neither conferring nor censures will prevail with such persons the Church hath no way left but complaints to the secular power and for them we streightly enjoyn that all Deans and Archdeacons and all having inferiour or exempt Jurisdiction shall every year within six Months after any Visitation by them holden make Certificate unto their several Bishops or Archbishop if it be within his Diocess under their Seal of Office of all such persons who have been presented unto them as aforesaid under pain of suspension from their said Jurisdictions by the space of one whole year And we in like manner enjoyn all Archbishops and Bishops that once every year at the least they certifie under their Episcopal Seal in Parchment unto the Justices of Assize of every County in the Circuits and within their Dioceses respectively the names and sirnames not only of those who have been presented unto them from the said Deans Archdeacons c. but of those also who upon the Oaths of Church-wardens and other Sworn-men at their Visitations or upon the information of Ministers imployed in the said Conferences have been presented unto them that so the said intended proceedings may have the more speedy and the more general success In particular it shall be carefully inquired into at all Visitations under the Oaths of the Church wardens and other Sworn men what Recusants or Popish persons have been either Married or Buried or have had their Children baptized otherwise than according to the Rules and Forms established in the Church of England and the names of such Delinquents if they can learn them or otherwise such names as for the time they carry shall be as aforesaid given up to the Bishop who shall present them to the Justices of Assize to be punished according to the Statutes And for the education of Recusants Children since by Canon already established no Man can teach School no not in any private house except he be allowed by the Ordinary of the place and withal have subscribed to the Articles of Religion established in the Church of England We therefore streightly enjoyn That forthwith at all Visitations there be diligent enquiry made by the Church-wardens or other sworn Ecclesiastical Officers of each Parish under their Oaths who are employed as School-masters to the Children of Recusants and that their several names be presented to the Bishop of the Diocess who citing the said School-masters shall make diligent search whether they have subscribed or no and if they or any of them be found to refuse subscription they shall be forbidden to teach hereafter and censured for their former presumption and withal the names of him or them that entertain such a School-master shall be certified to the Bishop of the Diocess who shall at the next Assize present them to the Judges to be proceeded against according to the Statutes And if they subscribe enquiry shall be made what care they take for the instruction of the said Children in the Catechism established in the Book of Common-prayer And all Ordinaries shall censure those whom they find negligent in the said instruction and if it shall appear that the Parents of the said children do forbid such School-masters to bring them up in the Doctrine of the Church of England they shall notwithstanding do their duty and if thereupon the said Parents shall take away their Children the said School-masters shall forthwith give up their names unto the Bishop of the Diocess who shall take care to return them to the Justices of Assize in manner and form aforesaid And because some may cunningly elude this Decree by sending their Children to be bred beyond the Seas Therefore we ordain That the Church-wardens and other sworn Ecclesiastical Officers shall likewise make careful enquiry and give in upon their Oaths at all Visitations the names of such Recusants Children who are so sent beyond the Seas to be bred there or whom they probably suspect to be so sent which names as aforesaid shall be given up to the Bishop and from him returned to the Judges as aforesaid that their Parents who so send them may be punished according to Law Provided alwayes that this Canon shall not take away or derogate from any Power or Authority already given or established by any other Canon now in force And all the said Complaints or Certificates shall be presented up to the Judges in their several Circuits by the Bishop's Register or some other of his Deputies mimediately after the publishing of His Majesties Commission or at the end of the Charge which shall be then given by the Judge And this upon pain of Suspension for three months This Sacred Synod doth earnestly intreat the said Reverend Justices of Assize to be careful in the execution of the said Laws committed to their trust as they will answer to God for the daily increase of this gross kind of superstition And further we do also exhort all Judges whether Ecclesiastical or Temporal upon the like account that they would not admit in any of their Courts any vexatious Complaint Suit or Suits or presentments against any Minister Church-wardens Questmen Side-men or other Church-Officers for the making of any such Presentments And lastly We enjoyn that every Bishop shall once in every year send into his Majesties High Court of Chancery a Significavit of the names and sirnames of all such Recusants who have stood excommunicated beyond the time limited by the Law and shall desire that the Writ De excommunicato capiendo might be at once sent out against them all Ex officio And for the better execution of this Decree this present Synod doth most humbly beseech His most Sacred Majesty that the Officers of the
