And the pretensed religion of the Sea of Rome is a false, bastard, new, vpstart, hereticall and variable superstitious deuise of man.

the Corinthians k 1. Cor. 10.1.2 3.4.5.6.7 c. are threatened with the feareful examples of the Israelites in their abode in the wildernesse that hauing the word of God and his holy sacramentes they walked not faithfully with God and therefore were punished So the Corinthians ought not to put their trust in their sacramentes and liue contrarie to faith and loue for theÌ„ they are like to be punished as the Israelits were So theÌ„ you see what is substaÌ„tial perpetual what is changeable according to times 7 Howbeit here is to be vnderstood that those ceremonies outward things in the maner of gouernment are necessarie and in their times religiously to bee obserued though not so highly esteemed as the parts of the vnchangeable substance of religion but being the coÌ„mandemeÌ„ts of God by which he wold for the time be outwardly worshipped or els teach seal his couenant to his people that they might be steadie increase in faith loue that all things in the vse profession exercise of their faith might be done comely seemly orderly coÌ„mendably according to his worde whosoeuer offended in any of these were subiect to punishment not onely that he which a Heb. 10.28 Deut. 19.17 dispised Moses law should die without mercy vnder two or three witnesses but b Heb. 2.2 also euery traÌ„sgression disobedience receiued a iust recompence of reward c Leuit. 10.1 As Nadab Abihu the sons of Aaron for offering strange fire that is such as God had not appointed were deuoured with fire which came froÌ„ the Lord. d 2. Sam. 6. Vzzah was smitten with sodain death for holding the Arke vnto which he had no office calling e 2. Cron. 26.19 And Vzziah king of Iudah was striken with a leprosie for vsurping the priests office Therfore in their times and during so long time as God appointed these ceremonies and maner of gouernment to be vsed in his church they were to be obserued with all care conscience because of the commandmeÌ„t of God only taking heed that no affiance should be put in theÌ„ aboue their proper vse but only make them helpes and ornamentes to the more substantiall pillars of faith loue And when the time was come that they should bee abolished then was the church free from such ordinances for they were as the holy Ghost f Heb. 9.9 saith figures for the time present vntil the time of reformation g Cap. 10.11 they were shadowes of good things to come not the very image or substaÌ„ce of the things themselues Namely in as much as Christ by the oath of God became a priest for euer after the order of Melchisedeck to make perfect that which the Leuiticall priesthood could neuer accomplish the priesthood of Aaron al the law of Moses were changed and the seruant gaue place to him that was Lord of the house as is at large disputed in the h Cap. 3.7.8.9.10 epistle to the Hebrewes Hereof it came to passe that all the sacrifices before the law circumcision which were of the fathers and all the ministerie of Moses gaue place at the comming of this great high priest the sonne of God the Lord head of the Church Iesus Christ And he i Dan. 9.27 confirmed the couenant and caused the sacrifice and oblation to cease he a Eph. 2.14.15 brake the stop of the partitioÌ„ wall abrogating through his flesh the law of coÌ„mandemeÌ„ts standing in ordinaÌ„ces that aswell gentils as Iewes might haue accesse vnto God by his spirit b Gal. 5.1.2.3 he hath set vs at liberty froÌ„ the yoke of bondage which was by the low so that now c Ioh. 4.21 we are not tied to HierusaleÌ„ to worship the father but that we d 1. Tim. 2.8 may pray euery where lifting vp pure handes And e Act. 15.9 God putteth no difference betweene men for these ceremonies and maner of gouernment when their heartes are purified by faith yet is it not his diuine wisedome and goodnesse that we should be altogether without ceremonies gouernment For in stead of the priestes Leuites he hath f 1. Cor. 12.18 Eph. 4.11 set in his church Apostles Prophets Euangelists pastors and teachers to teach vs guide vs in the pure religioÌ„ of faith knowledge of the son of God for our further help we haue in stead of all sacrifices before and vnder the law the sweet preaching of Christ only sacrifice by which they were ended accoÌ„plished to assure our consciences that he is g Heb. 7.25 ca. 9.28 10.18 able perfectly to saue them that come to God by him and that by one sacrifice once made hee did so fully take away sin that there is now no more offering for sin And h 1.

Tim 6.13.14 are the commandements of God to be kept vnblameable vnchangeable vntill the comming of Christ CHAP. 2. How God hath gouerned his church in one religion in all ages which is declared before and after the fall of Adam 2. And by the dispensation of times since the promise of Christ first giuen to Adam which is in three sorts the fathers before the law the Iewes vnder the law the Gentils vnder the gospel 3. In all these three times was there a differeÌ„ce in the outward face of gouernment but not in substance of religion 4. Which by Gods iudgements manifestation of his spirit hath bene alwaies maintained preserued 5. And this will be a witnes of our religion now professed in England against all Atheistes Papistes and other wicked men in the day of Christ Iesus NOw this foundation being layed because my purpose is to shew that God alwaies set foorth and allowed but one faith and religion I will in the next place briefly shew howe God hath administred his church from the beginning of the world namely in what order he hath gouerned his people a Psal 37.12 48.3 Hier 10.25 Whom hee chose to himselfe to know him and call vpon his name First we are to remember that the world hath bin in two estates and a third we looke for For before the fall of Adam when mans hart was vpright being made after

the light of his word to make all things manifest that it might be said of vs as by prerogatiue it was once spoken of Israel Psal 147.19 He sheweth his worde vnto Iacob his statutes his iudgements vnto Israel he hath not so dealt with euerie nation c. The entrance of her Maiesties raigne a most blessed day vnto England There was a day of darkenesse a day of great blacknes sorrow when the people of this land were made slaues vnder the thraldome of spirituall Aegipt and Babilon when they knew not aright the true and liuing God nor the power grace of our Lord Iesus Christ but were led after vaine things in whom there was no helpe and men by a iust plague of God were giuen ouer vnto their owne lustes and fancies yea euen vnto most abhominable idolatrie But the day of her Maiesties most royall coronation was a day of light and glorie a day of cleare and perfect ioy in that day did the sunne of righteousnes arise shined from on hie hee cast forth his bright and pleasant beames and enlightened all the land Then fell away the grosse misse of palpable foolishnesse and ignorance and the vaile of mans presumption was taken from our hartes Then humane deuises and the greeuous yoke of the apostaticall bondage in tradition voluntary seruice of men was taken from our necks Then were our hearts opened and the light of the knowledge of the glorie of God and his bright shining countenance in the face of Iesus Christ did shine into our soules It was a day that the verie Angels of heauen did reioyce and sing because of the sweet blessed tidings of great ioy vnto al the people of this land For the grace of God which bringeth saluation vnto all men did then appeare and the beautifull feet of the messengers of peace which brought tidings of good thinges and said vnto euery elect soule Thy God raigneth had then a merrie and comfortable passage and safe trauell ouer all the land the embassadors of God brought vnto vs the wholsome word of reconciliation Then did the Lorde plant his vineyard and build his holy temple among vs and hee became our strong sanctuarie and visited vs with his rich mercie and saluation his blessings spirituall and corporall most plentiful flowed down from heauen vpon our land So that our enemies being Iudges it must needes be said God hath done great things for vs and hath giuen vs all things aboundantly to enioy In which time many nations round about vs in greeuous darknesse and bloudy miserie euen mourning dayly before our eyes might well haue counted themselues happie if they had part of our peace We haue lent and not borrowed wee haue giuen and not taken we haue beene a refuge for the poore and a place of succour for the persecuted our men and money haue beene a reliefe to the oppressed and deliueraunce to many in great daunger and distresse Our prince hath bin an hyding place from the wind as a refuge for the tempest as riuers of waters in a drie place and as the shadow of a rocke in a wearie land My pen is insufficient and I am vnworthie and vnable to rehearse the manifold and constant goodnesse and fauours of God vpon vs these many yeares O let vs loue the Lord and serue him let vs praise and glorifie him who hath beene so beneficiall and bountifull vnto vs. Hee hath deliuered our soules from death our eyes from teares and our feet from falling hee hath brought vs out of the horrible pitte and mierie clay and set our feet vpon the rocke and ordered our goings hath put in our mouthes a newe song of praise vnto our God many that haue seene this haue reuerenced the Lord and put their trust in our God All EnglishmeÌ„ are bound to loue the Queenes most excelent Maiestie And who can but loue the blessed and worthy instrument of our peace and ioy whose heart is not inflamed with her desire If wee were tenne thousand times more then wee are and euerie man had a thousand liues who would not willingly lay them downe at her feete in the cause of truth to shewe his thankfull mind vnto her Maiestie who hath constantly passed through many hazardes of her life for loue of Gods truth and care of his Church whose hart is not greatly moued to glorifie God who hath giuen vs so faithful constant a nurse louing mother so woÌ„derfully defended and preserued her and by vnder her most happy gouernment hath made vs so many yeares together without feare the free possessors of most vnspeakable ioy in the participation of incomparable heauenly treasure and most flourishing earthly prosperitie We are to consider whether we haue rendred to the Lord according to his kindnes toward vs. But O my deare mother my good reuerend fathers and brethren haue wee rendred to the Lorde according to his kindnesse haue wee with reuerence receiued with thankfulnesse acknowledged and with care conscience vsed these mercies of our good and louing God and mercifull father in Iesus Christ O that I could boldly and faithfully so say that our siluer were not become drosse and our wine mixt with water And that the vine which God hath planted with good and pleasant plants did not in stead of grapes bring forth wild grapes and men did not neglect yea forsake the word of the Lord and follow the foolish imaginations of their owne heartes O that it might not be iustly said that the Lord hath a controuersie with this lande because there is no truth nor mercie nor knowledge of God in the land By swearing and lying and killing and stealing and whooring they breake out and bloud toucheth bloud And that men did not encourage one another in their wicked and vicious liuing saying come and let vs bring wine and wee will fill our selues with strong drinke and to morrow shall bee as this day and much more aboundant let vs eate and drinke for to morrow we shall die O that men would consider and that their hearts would smite them in remembring and forethinking what a fatherly watch word our tender and louing God hath giuen vs by many and sundry most mild and kindly tempered corrections and chastisementes at many times but especially within these eighteene yeares last past when hee beganne at his sanctuarie and lightly touched his holy remembrancers when he caused a great and cloudie mist to couer the verie heauens so that many bright starres were not seene to shine for a certaine season Then did the windes burst out shaking our houses ouer our heades as vnworthie to dwell vnder so good and plentifull grace our bodies and liues were assailed with grieuous pestilence dearth scarsitie and the threatning sword did aduance themselues against vs. Thousands haue gone forth and returned but by hundreds And now seeing all these things haue not made vs to turne to him that smiteth

when he could point out his verie person saying i Ioh. 1.36 Behold the lambe of God Howbeit that grace of reuelation which was in the Apostles excelled all the rest for the verie a 1. Pet. 1.12 Ephe. 3.10 Angels admire the manifolde wisedom of God as it is now taught in the church of God by their doctrin and therefore in comparison of the clere manifestation of the gospel now in these last times to the more obscure reuelation of the former ages it is called b Colos 1.26 Eph. 1.8 a mistery had since the worlde began and from al ages but now is made manifest to his saints and this most abundantly in all wisedome and vnderstanding And this was of such power that neither the malicious gainesaying and tumultuous resisting of the Iewes nor the furious outragious persecutions of the gentils for 300. yeares nor the subtill vndermining of wilie hereticks nor the smoking darkenes of Antechrist could stand before the wisedome of the spirit but that the idols of the heathen and the foolish rudimentes of the world were scattered before the preaching of the faith and religion of Christ as the smoke or clouds are driuen before the wind And when all the c Dan. 3.35.44 1. Pet. 2.6 monarkes of the world were broken became like the chaffe of the sommer flowers whom the winds carieth away this Iesus Christ as a stone cut without hands although he were refused of the builders is not onely become the heade of the corner but also filleth the whole earth and groweth to a kingdome that neuer shall haue end so long as Sun Moone endureth And as this religion so the ceremonies and maner of gouernment ordeyned by Christ are to remaine vntill the end of the world for so saith Christ when hee gaue coÌ„mission for d Math. 28.19.20 the preaching baptizing teaching of all his coÌ„mandements Loe I am with you alway vnto the end of the world the Apostle affirmeth that the Lordes supper is to e 1. Cor. 11.26 shewe the Lordes death till hee come f Eph. 4.12.13 and his ministers are to gather together the saintes till we all meete in the vnitie of faith and he must g 1. Cor. 15.24.25 raigne till all his enemies bee put vnder his feete and in the ende deliuer vp his kingdome to his father and then God shall bee all in all 5 All which things if the Atheistes of our time and such as bee of no religion or of the popish and hereticall superstition could see and consider they would come home to vs and cast themselues downe before Christ and say God is with you of a truth But this continuance of one vnchangeable truth in religion by the administration of Gods iudgements manifestation of the spirit being found with vs in this realme of England as hereafter in this treatise doth euidently appeare shal be a witnesse against all such in the day of iudgement when they should remember that they in their liues time willingly wold not know nor obey the truth but had pleasure in vnrighteousnesse I pray God open our eyes that while the light is among vs we may beleeue it loue it and walke in it as the children of light to the glorie of God and our owne comfort euerlasting saluation in Iesus Christ our Lord. Amen CAP. III. Heere is more largely shewed the vnitie of faith in all ages that the religion openly professed at this present in England is the same ancient onely Catholike faith of Abraham Moses the prophets which Christ and his Apostles preached and taught Where 1. is declared that Abraham receiued it of God both for the Iewes also for all other nations 2. The particulers are compared in 15. seuerall articles of the most waightie points of doctrine HAuing entred thus far that the Christian reader may as in a glasse in some reasonable sort behold in his conscience that from the beginning of the world there hath beene but one religion in which a man could euer be saued one law of faith one law of loue taught and allowed by God in his Church catholike and vniuersall for all places times to remaine vnchangeable vnto the worlds end Now will I through the mercifull assistance of the same my gracious God more largely and particularly shew the verie same thinges and that the same is the religion which in this our time is now by publike authoritie professed preached taught defended in this realme of England by and vnder the most happie raigne golden dayes and peaceable gouernment of the Lordes annointed and blessed handmaid and seruant our dread soueraigne deare nurse-mother faithfull and elect Ladie and Queene Elizabeth for whose heauenly ioy Christian honour long and prosperous life in wealth and godlinesse all true hearted Christians and faithfull subiectes continually and instantly do pray Here thou shalt see God willing what God taught Abraham what Moyses sent of God taught Israel what the prophetes inspired of God taught in Iudah what Christ his Apostles taught the primitiue Church and that all these differ not in the doctrine of faith and loue but being all one and the same way of saluation the same true and vndeceiuable religion the same euerlasting God and Sauiour And thou shalt plainely and clearely see that the verie same and none other hath our most louing God of his free and kind mercie now aboue fortie yeares together taught vs English men and his heauenly wisedome in our streetes and high places and assemblies by his faithfull ministers hath called vs thereunto So that we to the stirring vp of our thankfull hearts to praise our good God may say with the Psalmist a Psal 147.20 He hath not dealt so with euerie nation neither haue they knowne his iudgements And in this treatise concerning the first of the three times of the world which was of the fathers before the lawe or any part of Gods worde was written I make speciall choise of Abraham for two causes First because that in the historie of the fathers before his time which containeth some 2083. yeares the holy Ghost is verie briefe and therefore not so full and plaine in diuers pointes as after in the story of Abraham Howbeit thou shalt find in the same the doctrine of one God the trinitie promise of Christ and saluation to come by faith in him Baptisme of the arke sacrifices for the latter sacrament seales of the couenant and of dueties diuers examples in Abell Sheth Enoch Noe and great punishments for the contrarie so that the substance is one and the same though that it be after more largely and particularly taught in the storie of Abraham But because my purpose is to shew that the particular partes of the doctrine of our religion bee most auncient and catholike I finde it more fitte to take the patterne from Abraham in whose storie I may gather these thinges more plainely and also
