Satan beeing thus put off goeth on and saith Thy sinnes are infinite in weight and number thy debt is aboue tenne thousand talents how can God saue thee thou hast not a farthing to pay what is it iustice thinkest thou for God to remit so many sinnes without satisfaction Answ. It is written Isa. 43.25 I euen I am he that puts away thy sinnes for mine owne names sake and not remember thine iniquities for euer and againe Where sinne hath abounded grace hath abounded much more and the parable saith that the Master forgaue all the debt to the hopelesse seruant Obiect 3.

But it is in vaine to serue the Lord and what profite is there in his wayes the worse the man is the better is his estate and the more godly the more crossed in the world Answ.

Kingdomes together Answ. Here we can hold no longer but in such a temptation as is to so direct a worshippe of the deuill with our Lord say Auoid Satan be packing foule deuill for it is written Rom. 13.1 Let euery soule be subiect to the higher powers and 1. Pet. 2.14 Submit your selues to all manner ordinance of man and the fearefull iudgement of Corah Dathan and Abiram with their complices betide such Catholike rebels as dare lift vp their hands against the Lords annointed not to cut off his lap but his life which is the life and breath of all his people The like vse hath the Scripture in the right vse of it against all errors heresies as we may see in these instances 1. If the Papists would teach vs iustification by workes Answ. It is written Rom. 3.20 by the workes of the law shall no flesh be iustified and the like in Gal. 3.3.4.5 And Paul had as many merits as any yet he would not be found in his owne righteousnes Phil. 3.9 and our righteousnes is but as filthinesse or filthie clouts and after our best endeauours we are but vnprofitable seruants 2. If they vrge vs with transubstantiation and reall presence Answ. It is written that after Christ had giuen the Sacrament he went into the garden and suffered which he could not if he had beene eaten before and not beeing glorified and 2. remembrance is of things absent 3. he continues in heauen till his comming to iudgement Act. 3.21 4. the Fathers ate the same Sacramentall bread 1. Cor. 10.3 and yet Christ was not then in the flesh 5. there is no alteration in the signe of Baptisme and there is the same vse of the signe of the Lords Supper 3. If they obiect vnto vs 7. Sacraments we reply against their 5. bastard ones as in that of Matrimonie for the rest thus 1. it hath no signe instituted by God when he brought Eue to Adam here is matrimony but no signe the ring which they make a signe is not 2. it is not proper to the Church as Sacraments are but common to Iewes Turkes and Infidels 3. euery Sacrament belongs to euery member of the Church but matrimony belongs not to their Priests and Votaries 4. all Sacraments serue to confirme faith so doth not Matrimony Adam in innocencie had no need of faith but he had need of Matrimony 4. If they tell vs that by Baptisme originall sinne is quite washed away we answer No true Baptisme takes away the guilt but not the beeing of sinne and it is written of Dauid Psal. 51.5 that he confessed he was still in originall sinne see also Rom. 7.7 and Iam. 1.13 5. If they would thrust vpon vs the absolute necessitie of Baptisme Answ. It is written that circumcision being the same in signification and vse with Baptisme was omitted in the wildernes 40. yeares and that Dauid doubted not of his vncircumcised childs saluation and that children are holy through their beleeuing parents 1. Cor. 7.14 6. If they will administer the Communion but in one kinde against this their sacrilegious practise we haue Christs institution and the example of the Apostles besides the Primitiue Church This mighty effect of the word in the right vse of it shewes the Scriptures to be of God and the authoritie of God and not of man as the Papists teach vs not of the Church of Fathers Councells Popes in Peters fictitious chaire or the company of Cardinals What writing of man can haue authority ouer mens consciences as Gods word hath Or who will beleeue the Church that will not beleeue the Scripture Is not the word truth and all men liars and subiect to error Now shall that which is not subiect to error be subiect to that which is subiect to error Whatsoeuer writing doth indeed confirme error is not Canonicall Scripture for this confutes all error in practise and in iudgement therefore Apocryphall bookes are not Canonicall and diuine Scripture 1. because in euery of them there is some repugnance to the Scripture 2. because they were not wri●ten by any Prophet nor in Hebrew nor 3. giuen to the Iewes as Gods Oracles as all the old Testament was Rom. 3.1.2 4. because Christ and the Apostles cited not any of them This I speake not against the bookes which containe in them many good moralls and in my iudgement may of all humane histories be best vsed but against the Papists who would thrust vpon vs inuocation of Saints and prayer for the dead c. from their authority See hence the reason why Satan and all his instruments were euer enemies to the true preaching and professing of the word namely because in the right vse it is the only hammer of the Kingdome of darknes He storms not at frothy and foolish deliuery or at Professors that are loose and vngirt can take liberty for any thing they list Onely faithfull Preachers and Professors that rightly preach and professe beare the burden of Satans and the worlds malice Christs innocencie and the Apostles power could not fence them from it Lastly acknowledge it a singular priuiledge of the Church so beset with enemies to haue so sufficient and perfect a word 1. written that all men might haue the benefit of it 2. preached and rightly diuided according to euery mans particular necessity It is a great comfort that poore as well as rich base as well as noble haue a share in it in an equall large manner The cheife priuiledge of the Church of the Iewes was to keepe Gods word in the letter Psal. 147.19.20 and Rom. 3.2 but it will be our preheminence aboue them if we locke vp the true sence of it in our hearts Iob. 22.22 and Pro. 22. It is a sure stay and a sheild to them that walke vprightly No theefe nor robber can steale it no it cannot be taken away with our liues it is Maries good part which was neuer taken from her neither can be from vs beeing a perpetuall freehold Now followeth the fourth thing in this allegation of Christ to wit the parts of the diuine testimony 1. Negatiue Man liues not by bread onely 2. Affirmatiue But by euery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God First of the sence of the negatiue part Man that is a meere common and ordinary man and much lesse I that am the Sonne of God Liueth not that is preserueth not the naturall life of his body By bread is meant all necessarie and ordinary meanes of meat drinke rest sleepe physicke recreation for so it is also vsed in the fourth petition of the Lords prayer Onely here bread is not opposed to other meanes of sustenance as flesh fish c. but to Gods blessing without which it cannot sustaine our bodies But by euery word that is euery thing a common Hebraisme verbum for res and more specially for the decree and ordinance of God appointed to sustaine man so the
