the last trumpet The trumpet saith Paule shal blow and the dead shall ryse vncorruptible and we shal be chaunged for thys corruptyble body muste put on vncorrupcion and thys mortal body must put on immortality At the last is ther also an euerlastynge lyfe whyche al they shall receyue that beleue on Iesus Christ and stedfastlye abyde in good workes sekyng prayse honour and immortality in the lyfe to come Thys is the sūme of my fayth and belefe through the whyche fayth al the ryghtuous lyue and wythoute the which beliefe no man may please God Therefore the euerlastynge God be blessed that oute of hys vnmeasurable mercye and grace hath giuen me thys faythe throughe Iesus Christ our Lord. Now foloweth my fayth and opinion of the sacramental token of baptisme Baptysme is a sacramentall token the whyche is gyuen vs of Christe and is at the fyrst an entryng into the Christian congregacion as Paule sayeth we are baptised in one spirite to be one body i. Cor. xii Secondarely Baptysme is a fountayne of regeneraciō as Paul witnesseth Tit. iii. saying that Christ hath saued vs bi the foūteine of the newe byrthe and renuing of the holy ghost not that the water doth saue vs for nothyng can saue vs but only God Esa xliii but seynge that our Lord Iesu Christ hath spoken that he that beleueth is baptysed shall be saued Marc. xvi And goddes word is verity and truth Ihon. xvii And his promyses may not fayle Psal cxlvii Therfore must baptyme nedes brynge saluation vnto them that in beleue are baptysed not for the workes sake but for gods word and promyses Deu. viii Thirdly baptime is a couenant of a good conscyence to God first of Pete iii. namely that he that in beleue is baptysed byndeth hym self or maketh a couenaunt with god that from thenceforth he wil liue after his wil. And on this couenauntes behalfe whiche muste be done oute of a cleane faythfull heart hath the baptyme power and not for the water sake wherewith the filthinesse of the flesh is washed away but withoute it be that the hearts of them that are baptised be cleansed Actes xv Through goddes word Ihon. xv The water can not cleanse them wherwyth it is also proued that baptysme wythoute faythe maye in no wyse bee alowed Foorthelye baptysme sygnyfyeth an offerynge of the fleshe and a resurreccion into a newe lyfe as we haue to the Romaynes vi Knowe ye not saythe Saynte Paule that all we whyche are baptysed in the name of Iesu Christ are baptysed to die wyth hym therfore are we buried wyth him by baptysme for to dye that lykewyse as Christ was raised vp frō death to lyfe by the glory of the father euē so we shuld walke in a newe lyfe Thys is nowe shortly expressed what baptisme is and what it signifyeth But for asmuch as all the former scriptures are spoken of them onlye that be of yeres of discression before they receiue the faythe of Christ it is not altering of the institucion word of Christ to baptise the innocents in fātes For as in circumcisiō of the old law the faith of the parents sufficed to make the child one of the chosen people of God not wythstanding that the circumcision of the flesh is not circumcision as Paul writeth to the Ro. ii but the circumcision of the hert euen so the baptisme of our infants not withstandinge that the washynge of the bodye in water is not baptysme but the washynge of the soule in the bloude of Christe by faythe yet shall the faythe of the parentes be accepted of God And theyr chyldren made members of the churche of Christ thereby And also I beleue that god dothe moue the heartes of the infantes that be hys wyth the holye ghost If any require witnesses of the scripture for thys assercyon that chyldrene or infantes be made members of the church of Christe by the faythe of they re parentes Lette hym reade and consyder well the story of Sampson and Samuel wyth other lyke storyes of the old testamēt wherin may easely be perceyued how God dyd then accept the children for the parents fayth Let hym consyder also the storyes of the Gospel wherin appeareth how Christ wold not haue the children kept from hym whē theyr parentes brought thē to hym that he might lay hys hand vpon them and how certayne chyldren were cured and healed of diseases euen for the fayth that was found in theyr parentes And last of al it is euydent both in the Actes of the Apostles and in the Epystles of certaine of them that when certaine men receiued the Gospell both they theyr whole houshold were baptysed Where it is not to be thought that the infantes wer reiected because they could not vnderstād the Apostles preachyng For S. Paule writing to the Corinthians sayd .i. Corin. vii As cōcernyng the chyldren begotten betwene an Heathen man and a faithful woman or betwene a Heathenish woman and a faithful man the children are cleane by reason that one of his parentes is faithful And what other thing shuld he meane thereby but that God accepteth those children for members of his church whō the faithfull parentes do willingly bring to the fountain of regeneracion therto receiue the signe of the euerlasting couenant betwene God and vs. Thys is with the shortest my faythe and opinion of baptysme Nowe foloweth lykewyse my fayth and opinion of the supper of the Lord The supper of the Lorde is a memoryall token of the sufferinge and deathe of Iesu Christ is instituted of Christ for this cause that the faythfull congregacyon of Iesu Christ shulde come together for to shew the deathe of Iesu Christe and hys benefytes lauddynge and thankynge hym magnyfyinge hys holye name and then also eate of thys breade and dryncke of thys wyne to a remembraunce that Christ hathe geuen hys body and shed his bloud for vs. Math. xxvi And because that it is a comen vse that a token of remembraunce hath the name of the thinge that is remembred by it Therefore hath Christ called the breade his bodye and the wyne hys bloud not that hys substance is in the breade and wyne but that we shuld remember him therby Likewise as the Easter lambe was called the passynge by and yet was it not in it self the very passyng by seinge nowe that the Easter lambe hath the name of the thynge that the Israelytes remembred by it and wherby they might euerlastinglye keepe in remembraunce the benefites of God right conuenient is it that Christ hath called the bread his body and the wine his bloude because that we shuld remember therby his death and passion yea the only sacrifice of his body which he hath suffered to be brokē and his bloud to be shed for vs. Neuertheles how be it that the materiall body of Christ is not in the breade nor his bloude in the wine yet neuertheles is the supper of the Lord a partaking but spiritually of the
