know_v nor_o leave_v in_o write_v of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n some_o there_o be_v that_o d●e_a attribute_n it_o to_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o and_o therefore_o do_v call_v it_o by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o apostle_n creed_n saint_n cyprian_n the_o martyr_n in_o his_o exposition_n of_o the_o apostle_n creed_n say_v our_o ancestor_n have_v a_o say_n that_o after_o the_o lord_n ascension_n

article_n of_o christian_a faith_n be_v this_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n almighty_a maker_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o this_o first_o article_n of_o the_o creed_n contain_v then_o especial_a point_n for_o first_o we_o say_v general_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n then_o we_o descend_v particular_o to_o the_o distinction_n of_o the_o person_n and_o add_v the_o father_n almighty_a for_o god_n be_v one_o in_o substance_n and_o three_o in_o person_n person_n wherefore_o understanding_n the_o unity_n of_o the_o substance_n we_o say_v plain_o i_o believe_v in_o god_n and_o again_o keep_v &_o not_o confound_v the_o person_n we_o add_v in_o the_o father_n almighty_a in_o jesus_n christ_n his_o only_a son_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v léeve_o that_o god_n be_v one_o not_o many_o and_o pure_a in_o substance_n but_o three_o in_o person_n the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o in_o the_o law_n it_o be_v write_v harken_v israel_n the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v one_o lord._n and_o again_o in_o the_o gospel_n we_o read_v that_o the_o lord_n say_v baptise_v they_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n of_o the_o son_n and_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o way_n this_o be_v singular_o to_o be_v god_n mark_v of_o we_o that_o when_o we_o pray_v we_o say_v our_o father_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n give_v we_o this_o day_n our_o daily_a bread_n but_o that_o when_o we_o make_v confession_n of_o our_o belief_n we_o say_v not_o we_o believe_v but_o i_o believe_v for_o faith_n be_v require_v of_o every_o one_o of_o we_o for_o every_o particular_a man_n to_o have_v wythonte_fw-fr dissimulation_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o without_o double_a meaning_n to_o profess_v it_o with_o his_o mouth_n it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o abraham_n to_o have_v faith_n for_o all_o his_o seed_n neither_o will_n if_o avail_v thou_o any_o thing_n for_o a_o other_o to_o believe_v if_o thou_o thyself_o art_n without_o faith_n for_o the_o lord_n require_v faith_n of_o every_o particular_a man_n for_o himself_o wherefore_o so_o oft_o as_o we_o confess_v our_o faith_n every_o one_o of_o we_o by_o himself_o do_v say_v i_o believe_v but_o what_o it_o be_v to_o brleeve_v i_o have_v declare_v already_o in_o my_o four_o sermon_n it_o follow_v in_o the_o confession_n i_o believe_v in_o god_n god_n be_v the_o object_n and_o foundation_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o he_o that_o be_v the_o everlasting_a and_o chief_a goodness_n never_o weary_a but_o always_o ready_a at_o our_o need_n we_o therefore_o believe_v in_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o put_v our_o whole_a hope_n all_o our_o safety_n and_o ourselves_o whole_o into_o his_o hand_n as_o unto_o he_o that_o be_v able_a to_o preserve_v and_o bestow_v on_o we_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a for_o our_o behoof_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o that_o god_n father_n in_o who_o we_o rest_v and_o unto_o who_o tuition_n we_o do_v all_o commit_v ourselves_o be_v the_o father_n almightye_n our_o god_n be_v therefore_o call_v father_n because_o from_o before_o all_o begin_v he_o beget_v the_o son_n like_v to_o himself_o for_o the_o scripture_n call_v god_n the_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n he_o say_v the_o apostle_n be_v the_o brightness_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o lively_a image_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o father_n to_o who_o he_o say_v thou_o be_v my_o son_n this_o day_n have_v i_o beget_v thou_o and_o again_o i_o will_v be_v his_o father_n and_o he_o shall_v be_v my_o son_n also_o god_n be_v call_v father_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o likeness_n that_o he_o have_v with_o our_o earthly_a father_n to_o wit_n because_o of_o our_o creation_n the_o favour_n love_n good_a will_n &_o carefulness_n where_o with_o he_o be_v affect_v towards_o we_o for_o god_n have_v create_v we_o god_n love_v we_o god_n regard_v our_o affair_n and_o be_v careful_a for_o we_o yea_o and_o that_o more_o exceed_o too_o than_o any_o earthly_a father_n be_v for_o say_v david_n even_o as_o the_o father_n pity_v his_o child_n so_o do_v the_o lord_n pity_v they_o that_o fear_v he_o for_o he_o know_v our_o estate_n remember_v that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n esaias_n also_o in_o his_o 49._o cap._n say_v can_v a_o woman_n forget_v she_o own_o infant_n and_o not_o pity_n and_o be_v fain_o over_o the_o son_n of_o

jesus_n christ_n therefore_o repentance_n and_o faith_n seem_v to_o be_v diverse_a not_o that_o true_a repentance_n can_v be_v without_o faith_n but_o because_o they_o must_v be_v distinguish_v &_o not_o confound_v we_o do_v all_o know_v that_o true_a faith_n be_v not_o without_o work_n as_o that_o which_o of_o necessity_n show_v forth_o good_a work_v and_o yet_o we_o make_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o faith_n and_o work_v so_o yet_o that_o we_o do_v not_o separate_v they_o or_o rend_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o in_o like_a manner_n we_o acknowledge_v that_o true_a faith_n and_o true_a repentance_n be_v undivide_o knit_v together_o and_o close_o fasten_v the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o i_o will_v not_o stand_v in_o argument_n whether_o faith_n be_v a_o part_n of_o repentance_n or_o do_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n depend_v upon_o it_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o notable_a point_n of_o folly_n to_o go_v about_o to_o tie_v matter_n of_o divinity_n to_o precept_n of_o logic_n for_o we_o learn_v not_o that_o of_o the_o lord_n apostle_n i_o admonish_v you_o before_o in_o a_o sermon_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o thing_n i_o do_v here_o repeat_v again_o that_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o sin_n do_v not_o of_o itself_o obtain_v grace_n or_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n even_o as_o the_o bare_a acknowledge_v of_o a_o disease_n be_v not_o the_o remedy_n for_o the_o same_o for_o even_o damn_v man_n also_o do_v acknowledge_v their_o sin_n and_o yet_o be_v not_o therefore_o heal_v the_o acknowledge_v of_o sin_n be_v a_o certain_a preparative_n unto_o faith_n as_o the_o acknowledge_v of_o a_o disease_n do_v minister_v occasion_n to_o think_v upon_o a_o remedy_n to_o this_o at_o this_o present_a we_o add_v that_o not_o the_o very_a fear_n of_o god_n how_o sincere_a soever_o it_o be_v not_o the_o very_a sorrow_n conceive_v for_o our_o sin_n how_o great_a soever_o it_o be_v nor_o the_o very_a humiliation_n how_o submiss_a soever_o it_o be_v do_v of_o themselves_o make_v we_o acceptable_a to_o god_n but_o rather_o that_o they_o prepare_v a_o entrance_n &_o make_v a_o way_n for_o we_o unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o consequent_o do_v lead_v we_o to_o christ_n himself_o be_v incarnate_a and_o crucify_a for_o we_o and_o our_o redemption_n and_o lay_v we_o upon_o christ_n alone_o by_o he_o to_o be_v quicken_v and_o pure_o cleanse_v for_o he_o that_o be_v true_o convert_v to_o god_n be_v utter_o turn_v from_o himself_o and_o all_o hope_n of_o worldly_a aid_n who_o so_o do_v true_o fear_n god_n and_o be_v sorry_a in_o very_a deed_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o his_o heart_n he_o do_v fear_n and_o be_v sorry_a for_o his_o sin_n commit_v and_o not_o for_o that_o alone_a but_o because_o he_o find_v himself_o to_o be_v corrupt_v whole_o and_o to_o have_v in_o himself_o no_o soundness_n or_o integrity_n yea_o because_o he_o reverence_v god_n as_o his_o father_n he_o do_v disclose_v to_o he_o his_o wound_n as_o to_o a_o cheirurgian_n desire_v instant_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o as_o to_o his_o love_a father_n and_o whereas_o here_o true_a godliness_n do_v cry_v that_o no_o man_n can_v be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n the_o father_n but_o by_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n the_o penitent_a do_v by_o faith_n lie_v hold_v on_o the_o son_n and_o so_o seek_v the_o mean_n of_o his_o reconciliation_n faith_n be_v ground_v upon_o the_o only_a grace_n or_o mercy_n of_o god_o exhibit_v to_o we_o in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o the_o penitent_a beléen_v that_o he_o be_v accept_v of_o god_n for_o christ_n his_o sake_n alone_o and_o therefore_o he_o make_v his_o supplication_n to_o god_n commit_v himself_o whole_o unto_o his_o mercy_n as_o we_o read_v that_o david_n &_o the_o prodigal_a son_n in_o the_o 15._o cap._n of_o s._n luke_n gospel_n do_v to_o this_o place_n may_v be_v annex_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n &_o of_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n touch_v which_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v and_o here_o i_o think_v it_o not_o amiss_o penitent_n that_o the_o mind_n of_o penitent_n must_v by_o all_o mean_n be_v confirm_v with_o many_o and_o evident_a place_n of_o scripture_n plain_o utter_v concern_v the_o full_a remission_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o end_n that_o hereafter_o we_o have_v no_o scruple_n of_o conscience_n to_o cause_v we_o to_o despair_v or_o doubt_v in_o our_o temptation_n wherein_o notwithstanding_o i_o repeat_v again_o and_o again_o this_o note_n to_o be_v thorough_o mark_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n our_o lord_n christ_n jesus_n that_o penitent_a sinner_n have_v their_o sin_n remit_v not_o for_o their_o repentance_n in_o respect_n that_o it_o be_v our_o work_n or_o action_n but_o in_o respect_n that_o it_o comprehend_v the_o renew_v of_o man_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o true_a faith_n which_o deliver_v we_o to_o christ_n our_o physician_n that_o he_o may_v heal_v all_o our_o disease_n and_o bound_v up_o all_o our_o grief_n and_o although_o this_o treatise_n do_v proper_o belong_v to_o the_o common_a place_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o gospel_n of_o which_o i_o have_v so_o brief_o as_o i_o can_v already_o discourse_v yet_o notwithstanding_o i_o will_v here_o recite_v some_o evident_a sentence_n touch_v the_o grace_n of_o god_o and_o free_a remission_n of_o our_o sin_n david_n in_o the_o hundred_o and_o third_o psalm_n say_v praise_v the_o lord_n oh_o my_o soul_n and_o forget_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v do_v for_o thou_o which_o forgive_v all_o

after_o our_o sin_n nor_o reward_v we_o according_a to_o our_o wickedness_n for_o look_v how_o high_a the_o heaven_n be_v in_o comparison_n of_o the_o earth_n so_o great_a be_v his_o mercy_n towards_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o and_o look_v how_o far_o the_o east_n be_v from_o the_o west_n so_o far_o have_v he_o set_v our_o sin_n from_o we_o yea_o like_a as_o a_o father_n pity_v his_o own_o child_n so_o be_v the_o lord_n merciful_a to_o they_o that_o fear_v he_o for_o he_o know_v that_o we_o be_v frail_a prone_a to_o sin_n &_o do_v remember_v that_o we_o be_v but_o dust_n esaie_n in_o the_o

and_o of_o heavenly_a thing_n do_v devout_o and_o ardent_o meditate_v these_o thing_n and_o true_o the_o word_n father_n put_v we_o in_o mind_n of_o many_o thing_n together_o father_n for_o first_o

which_o of_o the_o angel_n or_o the_o saint_n can_v thou_o say_v without_o sacrilege_n oh_o our_o father_n which_o art_n in_o heaven_n etc_n etc_n furthermore_o this_o word_n father_n teach_v we_o through_o who_o we_o shall_v christ_n call_v upon_o this_o father_n not_o by_o the_o mediation_n or_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o saint_n but_o by_o jesus_n christ_n our_o lord_n through_o who_o only_o

of_o grace_n therefore_o when_o we_o say_v father_n we_o speak_v from_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o son_n who_o have_v teach_v we_o so_o to_o pray_v and_o by_o who_o we_o be_v promote_v into_o this_o
