Paul geueth to the Ministers of the Church of Ephesus is as plaine as may be spoken yet they caÌ„not vnderstaÌ„d it Take hede saith he vnto your selues to all the flock of which the holy Ghost hath made you ouersears to feede the Church of God which he hath purchased wich his own bloud Oh that this precept were written in our harts with an yron pen or a claw of Adamant that we could neuer forget it The often remeÌ„brance that we haue bound our fayth vnto the spirit of God that hee hath called vs for the instruction of his people and that they are the price of the blood of Christ would make vs at the last so to loue our duty that the Sunne and Moone should be ashamed at the sound of a Nonresident the name of that parson should be odious vnto vs y would take vpon him a charge and looke not after it The Prophet saith that if the Minister declare not the iudgements of God against hym that synneth the wycked man shal dye in hys syn but his blood shall be required at the hands of the negligent watchman And the Apostle to the Hebrewes speaking of the faithful Minister sayth that they watch ouer the soules of those that are committed vnto them as they that shall geue accompt if any of them perish If these two be sufficieÌ„t witnes that according to the law the truth should be estÃ©emed by their woord most certain it is that our negligent Pastors who haue couered them selues as Salomon sayth with thicke clay and multiplyed their benefices tyll they be many in number they must needes thinke they haue an heauy accompt against the day of christ Neither gold nor siluer nor the pride of honor shall be acceptable in stÃ©ede of the soules of their brethren But so

they must put on a fatherly affection toward their Inferiours Question The sixt commaundement Thou shalt do no murther what meaneth this Aunswer The Lorde here forbyddeth all kyllyng fightyng

knowe to the furtherance of iustice Question What meaneth the tenth commaundement Thou shalt not couet thy neyghbours house c Aunswer Here in plaine wordes God forbiddeth all inward desire what so euer is vnlawful to be done which desire is not onely synful when we consent vnto it but the very motion is enemy vnto God and banished from his presence For it is vn possible those bodyes shoulde see God which can nourish euyll concupiscence in them euen as it is vn possible that corruption should inherite incorruption or that flesh and bloud in this similitude of old Adam shoulde inherite the kyngdome of god So that by this commauÌ„dement most clearely we may see the image of that man that plea seth God euen such a one in whom is nothing impure neither in wyll nor nature Question Sithe these are Gods commaundements I sÃ©e now most assuredly how there is no man that synneth not tell me then what punishment is due vnto our synne Aunswer The reward of synne is death not onely the present and transitory chaunge which we shal all taste of but â— second death an other euerlasting death the cursse of God and his heauie wrath which hath no end euerlasting condemnation and the paines of hel which abide for euer not onelye in soule whose worme dyeth not but in body also whose fyre shal neuer be quenched Question How say we then that God is merciful if his anger be such as shall neuer be pacified Aunswer God is in dede a God of all mercies and father of all consolations whose louyng kyndnesse hath no end and in the great ritches of hys compassions he hath appointed to make knowen the glory of his maiestie vnto hys children But God is also iust iudgeth righteously and therfore to such as through infidelitie despise the ritches of hys goodnes and disobey the woord of hys gloryous power he hath appointed a iuste recompence of eternall death Question Now I know what is sinne euen the breache of the lawe of god And because of the excellencie of Gods maiesty whiche by sinne is offended I see the greatnes of sinne and how it deserueth eternall death of which without exception by nature we are all gyltie But tell me now is there no punishment in this lyfe by which we may recompence our sinne Aunswer There is no sufficient recompence in the world no goods nor multitude of ritches no liberalitie to the poore no whipping nor scourging nor hurt of thine own body nothing that thou canst deuise so precious is the redemption of thy soule and the continuaunce for euer Question Nowe I know what sinne is to what death it hath condemned vs without all remedie in our

will declare the saluation of the Lorde when we had sinned and by sinne had prouoked God to anger and so wer subiect to Satan hell and condemnation that the righteousnes of God might stand it was necessary that these things should be borne and suffered the anger of God the tyrannie of Satan and the paines of hell which all folowed sinne and therefore he that shal be a sauior for our sinnes he

vnderstand the ritches of his glorious misterie the Lorde reueale his secret vnto vs the Lord make vs see with all his Saintes what is the height the breadthe the length the depth that we may syng vnto him the praises of al his mercies This Sauior whom we seeke for who for our synnes must taste of death yet in the power of his owne ryghteousnes must rise from death to life he cannot be found among the childreÌ„ of men All the righteousnes of AbrahaÌ„ Isaac and Iacob it cannot recompence the least of all my synnes Adam and Eue while they were yet in integritie they could not beare the synne of the eating of one apple which was forbydden them Yea the Angels of heauen when they kept not the first estate but fell away from the truth in which they were created they could not beare vp their syn but it weyed them downe to hell and bound them for euer in the chaines of darknes so that in men and Angels ther is no hope But God that is ritche in mercies and whose compassions haue

no ende Hee sent hys owne sonne in the similitude of synfull flesh to be a redeemer and to condemne synne in the flesh So that this is the Sauiour sent into the world euen Iesus Christ the righ teous in whom the fulnes of the Godhead doth dwell bodely that when there was no saluation in al creatures GOD myght bee in Christ and reconcile the world vn to him selfe Question If Christ through the power and vertue of his Godhead did fulfill all righteousnes and satisfie for our sinne why then was he also made man lyke vnto vs Aunswer As it was necessary that Christ should be God or els he could not haue bene so perfect righteous as the lawe of God required nor yet haue borne the heauye burden of syn So it was also necessary that he should be maÌ„ or els he had bene ryghteous onely to hym selfe and we through him had not ben sauc tified For it could not be that we should haue bene partakers of his grace if he had not ben partaker of our nature nor we could not haue bene free from the wrath of God and rigour of hys lawe except our nature in him had felt his fathers anger he perfect man for vs had bene accursed for God had so appointed that the soule that had sinned it should die and he is not like vnto man that he should repent but the woord that he had spoken he would surelye accomplishe And therfore that God myght be righteous in hys iudgement Christe was maÌ„ like vnto vs and so in our flesh offered him selfe vnto death as if he should haue sayd vnto hys father Execute O God thy iudgements against man loe beholde me a perfect man I will beare theÌ„ And thus was our sauiour Christ perfect God that he might be stronger then Sathan and take synne away and perfect man that wee might haue part of his redemption who in all thinges was lyke vnto vs synne onely excepted Question Sithe Christ God and man hath thus payde the punishment of our sinnes are we now all discharged before God Aunswer No not euery one shall be saued by Christ but they alone that doo beleue in a true fayth take hold of his mercies Question Rehearse the Articles of this fayth Aunswer I beleue in God the father c.
