A76705	A twofold catechism: the one simply called A Scripture-catechism; the other, A brief Scripture-catechism for children. Wherein the chiefest points of the Christian religion, being question-wise proposed, resolve themselves by pertinent answers taken word for word out of the Scripture, without either consequences or comments. Composed for their sakes that would fain be meer Christians, and not of this or that sect, inasmuch as all the sects of Christians, by what names soever distinguished, have either more or less departed from the simplicity and truth of the Scripture. By John Biddle, Master of Arts of the University of Oxford.	Biddle, John, 1615-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B2882; Thomason E1473_2; ESTC R209511	54,377	175

Qu. What saith he to Timothy concerning the same subject A. This is a true saying If any man desire the office of a bishop he desireth a good work A bishop then must be blameless the husband of one wife vigilant sober of good behaviour given to hospitality apt to teach Not given to wine no striker not given to filthy lucre but patient not a brawler not covetous One that ruleth well his own house having his children in subjection with all gravity For if a man know not how to rule his own house how shall he take care of the church of God Not a novice lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil 1 Tim. 3. 1 2 c. Q. How ought those to be qualified that are to be ordained Deacons for the keeping and distributing the common stock of the Church A. Likewise must the deacons be grave not double-tongued not given to much wine not greedy of filthy lucre Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience And let these also first be proved then let them use the office of a deacon being found blameless Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife ruling their children and their own houses well 1 Tim. 3. 8 9 10 12. Q. How ought their wives to be qualified A. Even so must their wives be grave not slanderers sober faithful in all things 1 Tim. 3. 11. Qu.

CHAP. XXII Of Baptism Qu. WHat is the judgement of John the Baptist of Christ Jesus and of the Apostle Peter touching the doctrine of Baptisms How speak they A.

Though the passages which you have alledged plainly intimate that the baptism of the Spirit was the baptism of Christ as that of water was Johns baptism yet did not the Apostles of Christ baptize with water what saith Paul of this also A.

Qu. Forasmuch as so great stress is put by some upon water-baptism what baptism is it even in the judgement of the Apostle Peter whereby we are saved the said baptism of water whereby the filth of the body is washed off or the baptism of the heart whereby it is cleansed from an evil conscience A.

XXIII Of the Lords Supper Qu. WHen was the Lords supper instituted and to what end A. The Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betraid took bread And when he had given thanks he brake it and said Take eat this is my body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me After the same maner also he took the cup when he had supped saying This cup is the new testament in my blood this do ye as oft as ye drink it in remembrance of me For as oft as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye shew forth the Lords death till he come 1 Cor. 11. 23 24 25 26. Q. What hurt happeneth to him that receiveth the Lords supper unworthily A. Whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

CHAP. XIII Of the Universality of Gods love Qu. THose Scriptures which you have already alleadged when I enquired for whom Christ died intimate the universality of Gods love to men yet sorasmuch as this is a point of the greatest importance without the knowledge and belief whereof we cannot have any true and solid ground of coming unto God because if he from all eternity intended good onely to a few and those few are not set down in the Scriptures which were written that we through comfort of them might have hope Rom. 15. 4. no man can certainly yea probably infer that he is in the number of those few the contrary being ten thousand to one more likely what other clear tassages of Scripture have you which shew that God in sending Christ and proposing the Gospel aimed not at the salvation of a certain elect number but of men in general A. God so loved the world that he gave his onely-begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved Joh. 3. 16 17. The bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth life to the world Joh. 6. 33.

We preach warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus Col. 1. 28. I exhort that supplications prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour WHO WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO COME UNTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH 1 Tim. 2. 1 3 4. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness but is long-suffering to us-ward NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE 2 Pet. 3. 9.
