hath receiued a name or dignity passing all other Pro. Euen so it is The fourteenth Sunday Pap. Goe foreward to the residue Pro. From thence he will come to iudge the quick and the dead that is to say he will come downe from heauen and shew himselfe visible once againe in iudgement as he was seene to ascend Pap. Seing the iudgement of God shall be in the end of the world how may that bee which thou sayest some shall bee aliue and other shal be dead since it is a thing appointed vnto all men to dye once Pro. Saint Paul maketh answere to this Question himselfe saying that they which shall be left aliue at that time shall be suddenly changed to the end that their corruptible nature beeing abollished they may be clothed with incorruption Pap. Thy meaning is then that this change shall bee vnto them in stead of a Death in so much as it shall abollish their former nature and make them rise againe in a new state Pro. Truth it is Pap. Doe wee receiue any comfort by this that our Sauiour Christ shall come to iudge the world Pro. Yea verily and that great for we are taught certainly that his comming at that time shall be onely for our saluation Pap. Then there is no cause why we should be afraid of the day of iudgment or that we should tremble therefore Pro. No truly for that we shall apeare before no other Iudge but him who is our Aduocate and hath taken vpon him to defend our cause The fifteenth Sunday Pap. Let vs now come to the third part Pro. That concerneth our saith in the holy Ghost Pap. And to what purpose doth it serue vs Pro. It doth vs to vnderstand that euen as God hath redéemed vs and saued vs in Iesus Christ euen so it pleased him to make vs pertakers of his redemption and saluation thorow his holy spirit Pap. How so Pro. In like manner as the bloud of Christ is the onely purgation of our soules euen so the holy Ghost must sprinckle out consciences with the same to make them cleane Pap. This needeth a more euident declaration Pro. It is to say that the spirit of God dwelling in our hartes doth make vs féele the vertue of our Lord Iesus The sixteenth Sunday Pap. what followeth now next Pro. The fourth part of our beleefe where it is said I beléeue that there is an holy vniuersall Church Pap. what is the Church vniuersall Pro. It is the body and fellowshippe of them that doe beleeue whom God hath ordained and chosen vnto life euerlasting Pap. Is it necessary that wee beleeue this Article Pro. Yea vnlesse wee minde to make Christs death of none effect and make all those things to no purpose which we haue rehearsed already for all Christs dooings prooues there is a Church Pap. This is then thy saying that all which hetherto hath beene declared doth touch the cause and ground of our saluation in so much as God hath receiued vs into his fauor by the meane of our Sauiour Christ and hath established this grace in vs through his holy spirit but now the effect that commeth of all this is declared vnto vs to giue the more euident assurance thereof Pro. It is euen so Pap. What meanest thou by calling the Church holy Pro. I call the Church holy in this sence because that those whom God hath chosen be iustifieth and reformeth vnto holynesse and innocency of life to make his glory to shine in them and also our Sauiour Christ hath sanctified his Church which he redéemed To the end it might bee glorious and without spotte Pap. What meaneth this word Catholike or vniuersall Pro. It serueth to put vs in remembrance that as there is but one head of the faithfull euen so it behoueth them to be knit together in one body so that there bee not diuers Churches but one Church onely dispersed through out the whole world Pap. Declare as touching the communion of Saints Pro. That clause is put too for a more plaine declaration of the vnity of the members of Christs Church Moreouer it doth vs to vnderstand that all the benefits that Christ hath giuen to his Church belongeth to the profit and saluation of euery faithfull person for so much as they haue all a community together The seuenteenth Sunday Pap. But is this holynesse of that Church now already perfect Pro. No verily for it is in continuall battaile so long as it is in this world and laboureth alwayes vnder imperfection and infirmities which shall neuer bee cleane taken away vntill it be altogether coupled to her head Christ by whom it is perfectly sanctified Pap. Is there none other way to know this Church but by faith Pro. Yes verily there is a Church which may be séene to the eye for somuch as God hath giuen sure tokens by the which wee may know the same But héere in this place mention is made properly of that Church which hee hath chosen by his secret election to euerlasting life the which cannot be perfectly discerned by our sences Pap. What is there more Pro. I beléeue the remission of sinnes Pap. What is the proper signification of this word remission Pro. That God doth fréely forgiue all the sinnes of them which beléeue in him in such sort that they shall neuer bee called to any account to receiue any punishment therefore Pap. It is easie then to be gathered of this that we do not merit by our owne satisfaction that God should pardon our sinnes Pro. Yée say true for our Sauiour Christ hath made satisfaction by suffering the paine due vnto the same for we of our part be not able to make any recompence to God but of his méete liberality wee obtaine this benefit freely Pap. Wherefore doost thou make mention of remission of sinnes immediatly after thou hast spoken of the Church Pro. Because that no man can receiue forgiuenesse of sinnes vnlesse he be ioyned in the fellowship of Gods people and so continue in the vnity of Christs body euen to the end like a true member of his Church Pap. By this saying then without the Church there is nothing but hell death and damnation Pro. That is most certaine for all such as do deuide themselues from the body of Christ to breake the vnity there by sects are vtterly destitute of all hope to enioy euerlasting life whiles they kéepe themselues so deuided The eighteenth Sunday Pap. What followeth more Pro. The rising againe of the body and life euerlasting Pap. Whereto serueth this Article of our beleefe Pro. To teach that our felicity consisteth not in any thing vppon earth the which knowledge may serue vs for two necessary purposes first it teacheth vs to passe through this transitory world as through a strange Contrey setting not by earthly thinges Secondly it putteth vs in comfort that although we doe not as yet enioy the fruit of that grace which our Lord God hath freely giuen vs in Christ that yet wee
