God willeth that euery man should honour esteme loue and obey with all reuerence lowlinesse theyr naturall parentes as the lorde hymselfe and that we should serue helpe and succour them to the vttermoste of our power in their age sicknes and in al their necessities for as much as they did beare vs and tooke much trauail and sorow in the bringing vp of vs. M. And are none other to bee honored reuerenced obeyed by this comaūdement but only our natural parentes S. Yes all suche as perfourme the dutie office of true parentes toward vs all suche as haue any manier of cure or charge of vs as our kinsfolke teachers tutours ouerseers And specyally our gouerners rulers and magistrates with the ministers of the churche also whiche haue cure of our soules our maister also mystres all such as do vs any good through teaching instructing admonishīg exhorting defendyng or maintenyng of vs or thorowe punishyng correcting vs for our fautes euil doinges breking taming our naturall frowardnes stubbernes proud stomakes obstinatnes intendyng nothyng but to rule gouerne bring vs vp to the glory of god the welth profite of our soules All such are we bound to obey to submit our selfes hartily willingly vnto theyr instruccions admoniciōs correccion c. taking all such thinges as they do vnto vs in good worthe and withal thankfulnes M.

Doubtles they haue power and authoritie ouer body possessions goodes lyfe and what so euer pertayneth vnto the state of this trāsitory worlde All whiche we ought obedientlye to submit vnto them without any manier grutchyng or murmouryng But yf they goe beyond this and will take vpon them to rule also ouer the soule and conscience of man whiche is the peculier regimente and possession of God onely and to cōmaunde vs any thyng that is expresly against gods woorde than we ought to saye with the Apostles Act. v i. Pet. iii. We must rather obey God than man M. Yet s Peter sayeth that seruauntes or subiectes shoulde obey theyr maisters or superiors though they be cruell frowarde and extreme vnto them S. So they ought to doe in dede so farre as suche extremitie extendeth vnto the bodye or any thing in this mortal lyfe and no ferther But if such extremitie stretche vnto the conscience soule of man there is no obedience cōmaūded but only to god M. But how should a man do in suche case shoulde he resist them with force violence S. God forbid no in no wyse For it is an haynous a greuous sin violentlie to rebell against our heads rulers or to geue any maner of occasion how light so euer it be vnto any sedicion tumulte or insurreccion agaynste the anoynted of the lord And the terrible vengeaunce of god shall doubtles fall vpon all suche as it did vpon Chore Dathan Abiron whiche the earth did swallow vp quicke for rebelling against theyr rulers but it is the dutie vocacion of true christiās not to requite wrong for wrōg but to be paciēt of the suffring side obediently to suffer all troubles vexaciōs peines wrōgs iniuries yea euen very death also if it shal be the will of god wtout any maner of resistence and to refer theyr whole cause onlye vnto the Iudgemente of God The .vi. cōmaundement M.

S. Forasmuche as they haue the fauor of God through Christe whatsoeuer is required in them that haue thei also sufficientlye in and through Christe whiche hath taken theyr weakenes vpon himselfe is become their satisfaccion as he is to all others And his fayth and obedience is of grace imputed vnto them and throughe his spirite they are sanctified to bee the tēples of God whose heade and sauior is Christe and they membres of his body M. Than may they be baptised with a good conscience S. Yea no doubt For seyng they are reputed as faythfull in the syghte and iudgement of god thorowe Christe they ought as faythfull to bee baptised that thorowe the ministracion of the churche they may haue a sure token witnes that they are the heyres of the blessyng promised vnto the sede of the faythfull the membres of our sauior Christe cleane purged and washed from all theyr synne in his bloude M. From what synne nedeth a chylde that is newe borne whiche hath wrought neither good nor euil to be purged or washed S. From original sinne whiche is the verye roote of all other synne M. What is originall sinne S. It is the poison infeccion or corrupcion of nature wherein we are conceyued Whiche alwayes resisteth rebelleth and lusteth againste the wyll of God and is euer inclined and redye vnto all euill wickednes and hath a luste and delite therin From the whiche we can none otherwyse be deliuered or pourged but alonlye throughe the power of God in our sauior Christ M. But how are we pourged from this sinne through baptisme S. In as muche as in baptisme we haue a promise that it is forgeuē vs and not imputed to damnacion vnto vs. And againe that the holy ghost is also geuē vs whiche shall dayly mortifie kyll and subdue this synne and wicked inclinacion in vs begynnyng and daylye increasyng in the stede therof a newe affeccion and nature in vs obediente vnto the wyll of God and deliting therin whiche in the blessed resurreccion shall bee altogether perfite M. Nowe tell me what ought our baptisme to worke in vs and to put vs in remembraunce of S. Firste we ought to bee thankefull vnto God for it and vnto our parentes also for furtheryng and healpyng vs vnto it and to receyue all doctrine and correccion of them obediently and redily M. What more S. It ought also to put vs in remēbraunce of the remission of our synnes of the grace and mercye of God and of the blessed resurreccion wherin we shall aryse agayne vnto euerlastyng lyfe By the remembraūce wherof we maye haue a singular comforte agaynst all synne agaynst the deuyll death hell damnacion M. And what els S. Finally it ought to worke in vs a perfite obedience vnto the wyll of God to leade our liues in continuall repentaunce and amendemente praying ernestly that he wyll strengthen and make more perfite in vs through his holy woorde and spirite the newe byrth whiche is already begonne in vs and dayly to mortifie our fleshe and to practise with all faythfulnes and diligence to serue God and to kepe his commaundemētes M. Nowe what is the .v. speciall article of the christen doctrine or religion S. The holy supper of the lorde M. What is the supper of the Lorde S. It is an holy ordinance and institucion of our sauior Christe wherby christen people are commaūded to eate and drynke the bread and cuppe of the Lorde together therby to remembre his passion and to be assured of theyr communion with hym in his body and bloud For it is a pledge and an assuraunce that the Lorde geueth them his bodye bloud to be the foode and nourishemēt of theyr soules vnto euerlastyng lyfe M. Than is it not a bare signe and an vnfruitfull token S. No. For we receyue in the supper a spirituall meate and drinke wherin by the lordes owne institucion the true communion and participaciō of the bodye and bloud of Christe is most liuely represented and confirmed vnto vs. And at the ministracion therof beeyng ministred after Christes institucion it is certayne that he is alwaies presente and worketh effectuously therwith M. How ought this supper to be ministred S. In euery poynte condicion as the Lorde himselfe dyd ministre and ordeyne it M. Where is it written how the lorde did ministre and ordeyne it S. In the holy Euangelistes Mat. xxvi Marc. xiiii Luke xxii Matthew Marke Luke And in the .xi. Chapiter of the fyrst Epistle to the Corinthians in these woordes In the same night that the Lorde Jesus was betrayed he tooke bread and whan he had geuen thankes he brake it M. What learnest thou out of these wordes S. Fyrst I lerne that this supper sealeth vp confirmeth assureth vnto vs the verye true communion of the true body and bloud of Christ with all the frutes and benefites whiche he dyd euer pourchase and merite thorowe his body bloud M. Howe canste thou proue that S. By the verye woordes of the institucion For whereas he commaundeth vs to eate his body and drynke his bloud that is to saye to receyue our nouryshement vnto euerlastyng lyfe thorowe fayth of his bodye and bloud he addeth immediatlye Whiche is geuen vp for you and shed for you By the whiche woordes he signyfieth seeyng we are partakers of his bodye and bloud and in faythe fleshe of his fleshe and bones of his bones he our head and we his members that we are also partakers of all that he did euer purchasse or merite thorow his passion and bloud shedyng that is reconciliacion with God the father remission of our synnes righteousnes and euerlasting lyfe M. What lernest thou more out of the forsayed woordes S. I learne also that the Lorde geueth me thorowe this supper a sure hope and comforte that I am partaker of the new testament and of the couenaūt of grace whiche he confirmed and sealed with his precious bloud M. What is that newe Testamente or couenaunte of grace S. It is this that almyghtye God for the bitter passion and deathes sake of his deare beloued sonne wyll freely pardon and forgeue me all my synnes and take me for his childe and heyre and at the latter daye will rayse me vp agayne vnto euerlastyng ioye requiryng that I should beleue all this stedfastly and loue and serue him obediently M. And is nothyng els to bee noted in the woordes of the institucion S. Yes this also is to be learned that al they which minister or receyue this holy sacramente muste celebrate kepe the memoriall or remembraūce of our sauiour Christe Iesus M. Wherin consisteth this memoriall or remembraunce S. It cōsisteth specially herein that we beeyng assembled and gathered together in his name considre and setfoorth with all diligence and reuerence all the benefites of our Lorde Iesus whiche he hathe doen and suffered for vs or will yet hereafter do for vs And agayne that we render moste highe
