by sealing it perswades the truth of the promise and so confirmes faith V. Yet they do performe neither of both themselues by any vertue in them but in that the holy a Ephe. 1.13 14. chap. 4. v. 30. spirit worketh by them and his working is free b Iohn 3.8 so that he worketh where he will when he will and in what measure it pleaseth him VI.

Circumcision b Leuit. 14. purifications and c Leu. 1.3.4.6 c. sacrifices of these the d Exod. 12. 2. Paral. 35. passeouer was a speciall Sacrament VIII Circūcisiō did illustrate the promise of grace vnder the type of cutting off of the foreskin of the flesh for by the circumcising of the foreskin was signified that the sins of the faithful were done away by forgiuenes of sins or free a Rom. 4.11 iustification Circumcision did also seale the promise of grace by applying the same to euery person so that the couenant of God was as it were sealed in euery mans c Gen. 17.13 flesh IX The purifications did illustrate the promise of grace vnder the type of washing for by them was signified that the sinnes of the faithfull were purged by the bloud a Leu. 14.7.8 of Christ and dayly are washed away by the holy Ghost X. The sacrifices did illustrate the promise of grace as being types of our a Leuit. 1.4 4.20 16.27.30 expiatorie sacrifice for by them was signified that Christ should b Heb. 9.26 28. c. 10.11.12.14 be slaine for an expiatorie sacrifice that is to satisfie for all the sinnes of all the elect XII The pascall lambe be not onely shadowed this as a sacrifice generally but also foreshewed some peculiar thing of Christes sacrifice to wit that his a Iohn 19.36 bones should not be broken and it signified that the soules of the faithfull did banquet and feed b 1. Cor. 5.7 and 8. vpō Christ as it were spiritually in a sacrifice that is they receiued hereby some feeling of Gods grace loue purchased for them by the sacrifice of Christ Againe it represented the holinesse of Christes sacrifice for it was commanded to be an c Exod. 12.5 vnspotted lambe XII But besides this shadowing of Christes sacrifice in respect whereof that ceremonie of eating the lambe was a Sacrament it was also ordained to a Exo. 12.27 prayse God for deliuerance out of the bondage of Egipt XIII And thus much of the Sacraments of the old Testament The Sacramentes of the new are two Baptisme and the Lords Supper XIIII Baptisme that a Col. 2.11.12 succeeded in place of Circumcision doth illustrate the promise of grace vnder the type of b Act. 22.16 washing for as by water the c 1. Pet. 3.21 filthinesse of the body is done away so by the bloud d 1. Iohn 1.7 of Christ shed on the Crosse and by faith sprinckled on our harts our soules are purged from sinne But Baptisme sealeth vnto vs the promise of grace in that euery one is washed in that water which is the Sacramēt of the bloud of Christ shed on the crosse XV. The Supper of the Lord which came a Luk. 22.15 c. in place of the passeouer doth illustrate the promise of grace partly by representing the passion b Luk. 22.19 1. Cor. 11.24 of Christ by the breaking of the bread by pouring forth the wine the c Luk. 22.20 shedding of his bloud and partly by declaring the efficacie of Christes death by this ioyfull d 1. Cor. 5.8 bāquet for that the soules of the faithfull sweetely banquet be cōforted in tasting of Gods fauour grace purchased by the death of Christ But it sealeth vnto vs the promise of grace in that the bread which is giuen to euery one of vs to be eaten is the Sacrament of Christes body crucified for vs and in that euery one of vs doth drinke of the cup which is the Sacrament of the bloud of Christ shed vpon the crosse for vs. XVI And the Supper of the Lord hath the nature not onely of a Sacrament but also of a sacrifice to wit of thankes-giuing as also the lambe which had this place before it For as that lambe was appointed to prayse God for their deliuerie from the bōdage of Pharao so the holy Supper was ordained to a 1. Cor. 11.26 prayse the Lord for our redemption from the power of the deuill by the death of Christ XVII But as the Sacramentes in respect of God are signes of grace towards his people so in respect of vs they be a Mat. 23.15 Act. 2.41 chap. 8.36.37.38 markes of our profession whereby we openly professe that we desire to be counted among the people of God and will worship onely the true God who hath manifested him self to his people as by the most sure word and doctrine of the Prophetes and Apostles so also by these Sacraments XVIII Of all these Sacraments the Scripture vsually speaketh a Gen. 17.10 and 11. Exod. 12.11 and 27. Act. 22.16 Mat. 26.26 and 28. Mar. 14.22 and 24. Luke 22.19 and 20. 1. Cor. 10.4.16 1. Cor. 11.24 and 25. metonymically that is attributing the names or properties of the things signified to the signes themselues which thing is done partly to teach vs the relation which is betweene those signes and things signified partly to signifie the truth certaintie of the working of those holy Sacramentes that the beleeuers should not doubt but that the things signified set before vs are as truly by the working of the holy spirit cōmunicated vnto them as they certainly feele that these diuine signes and seales which are named Sacraments are by the Minister of the Church giuen them XIX The difference of the old and new Sacramēts is not in the things signified for they in both are a 1. Cor. 10.2.3 4. the same but partly in the manner of signification and partly in the euidence of demonstration for the old signified and figured Christ to come but the new signifie and shew that he is come Again the new are more manifest thē the old because they represent a thing done and clearely preached by the Gospell XX. They erre that any way bind the things signified to the signes XXI As also they that attribute to the signes power to conferre grace which they onely seale and testifie XXII But the Papistes erre most shamefully in that they transforme the Lords Supper into the Masse teaching that by consecration that is by the muttering of the fiue wordes Hoc enim est corpus meum for this is my body ouer the bread the same is transubstantiated into or turned into the substance of the body of Christ as they say and by the offring vp of Christ thus created

The office of Christ is three fold for he is ordained of God to be our Prophet Priest and King VII He executed his Propheticall a Deut. 18.18 Act. 3.22 chap 7.37 functiō or office of a teacher when he was conuersant on earth in b Math 4.17 Esa 61.1 Luke 4.21 preaching the Gospell reuealing c Iohn 1.18 vnto vs the secret coūsell of God concerning the great worke of our saluation by him VIII He exercised the office of his Priesthood partly whē he was on earth partly doth still exercise the same in heauen Whē he was on earth he first offred prayers a Iohn 17. Heb. 5.7 to his father for vs next his b Heb 7.27 owne body vpon the crosse and did expiate our sinnes c Heb. 9.25 c. 10.14 with that his sacrifice In heauen d Heb. 9.24 he appeareth before the face of the heauenly father with his sacrifice once offred on earth without e Heb. 10.12 intermission praying for vs that the reconciliation we haue obtained may be as fresh in memory and neuer be lost IX The kingdom of Christ beginneth in this life and is called the kingdome of grace and it shal be perfected in the life to come which is called the kingdome of glorie The kingdome of grace is that spirituall kingdome a Ioh. 18.37 wherin Christ ruleth the harts of his elect by his word and spirite And this kingdome he administred in the old Testament vnto his elect by Priestes and Prophets in the beginning of the new Testament by Iohn Baptist and himselfe with his Disciples But at the last he solemnely begā to erect the same in the day of b Act. 2. Pentecost whē he sent the holy Ghost to his holy Apostles that they might go preach the Gospell to all nations So then he hath euer continued his kingdome on earth shall continue it vntill he returne to iudgemēt at which time he shal be ruler in the c Psal 110.2 middest of his enemies whom he plagueth now and then and destroieth the last he cast them downe make them his d Ibid. 1. footestoole in his most glorious e 2.

XI Of Faith I. APHORISME NOw for that we are made partakers of Christes benefites which we receiue by his death as the remission of sins and life euerlasting by a Rom. 3 25 Act. 10.43 faith it shal be expedient also that we learne what this faith is how it breedeth who receiue this grace and what proper markes it hath II. This faith then is a sure firme a Iohn 17.3 Rom. 8.38 1. Iohn 3.2 knowledge of the grace of God purchased for vs by the merites of Christs death and testified by the word of promise whereby euery beleeuer doth apply that promise of grace vnto himselfe b Gal. 2. particularly assuring him selfe that the same doth no lesse appertaine vnto himselfe then vnto the rest of the faithfull III.

Pet. 1. 25. preaching of the Gospell IIII. From this faith ariseth that holy a Ephe. 3.12 affiance and trust in God whereby the beleeuer resteth himselfe comfortably in the fatherly b Psal 32. fauour grace of God purchased for him by the death of Christ considering both the truth c Heb. 11.11 d Rom. 4.21 Heb. 11.19 power of God from this affiance do streame forth al our spirituall e Iohn 8.56 Rom. 14.17 Iohn 5.25 c. 6.57 63. ioyes and comforts and all our spirituall life according as by it we tast of f Psal 30.6 item 31.17 item 36.10 itē 80.48.20 the great grace and fauour of God V. Againe from this faith ariseth and proceedeth the assured hope a Rom. 5.5 Rom. 8.23.24 25. of euerlasting life or of the celestiall glorie which we shall haue with our Lord Christ in his kingdome VI. Againe from this fountaine springs the holy a Ro. 10.14 Rom. 8.15 inuocation of God our most faithfull and bountifull Father and our most mightie Lord and God VII Faith also causeth vs to make a true a Rom. 10.9 10. 2. Cot. 4.13 profession and confesse with the mouth to the glorie of God that which we beleeue with the heart VIII To be short hence proceedeth the a 1. Ioh. 3.3 Gal. 5.6 true loue and reuerend feare of Gods children which causeth them with all indeuour to please and carefully to auoyde what may offend and displease his holy spirit IX The grace of a Rom 8.38 and 39.

XII Of Repentance where also is intreated of the life of a Christian and of bearing the crosse I. APHORISME SOmetime by the word Repentance in Greeke is signified vnderstood a Mat. 21.29 chap. 27.3 some sorowing for any fact or deed done whether a man be moued thereby to do well b Math. 4.17 Act. 2.38 Ro. 2.4 2. Cor. 7.9.10 2. Tim. 1 25. or not moued sometimes also it signifieth as the best Diuines haue noted to return to a perfect and right vnderstanding or to waxe wise againe we follow now this later signification II. Repentance then is a a Ezec 18.31 Ier. 4.1.3.4 chaunge of the minde which is by nature wicked and renewing of all faculties of the soule proceeding from a sincere and religious b Ierem. 4.4 Act. 17.30 2. Cor. 7.10 feare of God whereby the mind is caried with an earnest indeuour to do well and to please God III. Repentance doth consist of two partes of a Ro. 6.4 5.6 Ephe. 4 22.23.24 Col. 3.5.6.8.9.10 Psal 34 15. Esa 1.16.17 mortification of the flesh or of the old man and in the quickening of the

to a Prou. 17.15 Deut 25.1 Rom. 8.33.34 c. 5.18 acquite discharge or absolue in Latin so far as that word signifieth the action of a iudge A mā is said therfore to be iustified before God which is accounted iust in Gods Iudgement and accepted before God for his righteousnesse II. A man is sayd to be iustified by his workes when in his life there is founde such puritie and holines which may merite before the throne of God the commendation of iustice or that can with the perfection of his workes answer and satisfie the iudgement and iustice of God III. A man is sayd to be iustified by faith which renouncing the righteousnes of his workes doth apprehend by faith the righteousnes of Christ that is the righteousnesse which is purchased by the death of Christ this mā a Gal. 3.27 Apoc. 7.14 clothed with this robe of Christ doth appeare not as a sinner but as a righteous man in the sight of God IIII. We say with the Apostle a Rom. 3.28 Gal. 2.16 Paule that a man is iustified before God not by works but by faith onely V. Iustification and regeneration go euer a Rom. 6. ● and 8. together but yet must be distinguished For regeneration in this life onely is b Rom. 7. begun and by degrees increaseth till it be perfected in the life to come but we are not iustified in part but perfectly for this quieteth our consciences c Rom. 5.1 and giueth vs that peace which passeth vnderstanding VI. S. Paule doth well expresse this difference betweene iustification and regeneration For speaking of his inherent righteousnesse or integritie which he had in regeneratiō he crieth out bitterly ô wretched a Rom. 7 2● man that I am who shall deliuer me from this body of death But turning him selfe to the righteousnesse of Christ imputed vnto him which is grounded vpon the meere mercy of God and giuen vs in our iustification he reioyceth b Rom. 8.33.34.35 c. greatly with full trust and affiance triumpheth ouer life and death reproches and wantes sword and all crosses of this present life VII When we say we are iustified by faith our meaning is that we are pronounced iust in Gods sight for that by faith the Lord doth a Rom. 5.19 impute vnto vs for righteousnesse b Heb. 2.9 the obedience of Christ which he performed for vs vnto his father c Gal. 2.13 Esa 55. in tasting death for vs and so in paying the d Rom. 4.3 c. Gal. 3.6 punishment we did owe for the breach of the law VIII When we say we are iustified by faith onely we do not exclude the a Rom. 3.24 chap. 5.21 Ep. 1.5.6.7.8 grace and mercy of God in our iustification nor the b Rom. 3.25 c. 5.9 and c. 8.33.34 merite of Christes death which is imputed vnto vs for righteousnesse but we exclude c Rom. 3.28 chap. 11.12 ● 32 Gal. 2.18 workes onely IX For assuredly the iustice of faith and workes are so opposite that they can not be coupled together but admit the one ye must necessarily reiecte th other And hence it is that Paule doth account the righteousnesse of the Law and this righteousnesse of faith as contraries a Phil. 3.9 renouncing that righteousnesse by the law and resting in that righteousnesse which is by faith in Iesus Christ or giuen vs of God by faith Againe he sheweth that this was the cause of the b Rom. 10.3 ruine of the Iewes that seeking to stablish their owne righteousnes they wold not submit thēselues to the righteousnesse of God This he teacheth also when he saith that our reioycing can not be c Rom. 3.27 excluded by the law but by faith and againe when the reward is giuen d Rom. 4.4 and 5. for works that is of due debt but that righteousnesse is imputed to faith is of grace X. Againe Paule doth not exclude from iustification those workes only which the vnregenerat work out of grace literally by strength of their own free will for surely Abraham was regenerate when he did those workes for the which he had a Rom. 4.2 praise of men but was not iustified with God XI To be short the Scripture teacheth that our iustification is on this manner first the Lord God of his meer a Tim. 3.5 Ephe. 1.5.6.7 grace and goodnesse doth embrace a sinner finding nothing to moue him to mercy but misery for he seeth him b Ephe. 2.1 destitute void of all good workes he is moued c Ephe. 1.9 of himselfe to do him good and to giue this sinner some tast and feeling d Rom. 5.5 of his goodnesse that e Phil. 3.8 distrusting his owne strength and works he may repose all his trust and hope for saluation in the onely mercy f Ephe. 1.7 of God in Christ Iesus which God hath reuealed in his holy word XII Again that a mā is iustified by faith only is very cleare by other places of the Apostle as where he disputeth that there is a Rom. 4.2.3.4 no righteousnes by faith but that which is by grace where he b Rom. 3.21 and 28. Gal. 2.16 denieth righteousnesse to the workes of the law to workes I say not onely ceremoniall but also morall as may plainly appeare by these sentences which he vseth for confirmation of his purpose as the c Gal. 3.12 man that shall do these things shall liue in them and d Ibid. 10. cursed is euery man that continueth not in all things which are written in the booke of the law to do them and by these conclusions righteousnesse is not by the law for by the law commeth the e Rom. 3.20 knowledge of sinne The law f Rom. 4.15 causeth wrath Ergo not righteousnesse XIII We graunt with Paul that no faith iustifieth but that which worketh by a Gal. 5.6 loue but we vtterly deny that faith hath power to iustifie or that faith and loue do iustifie because faith is effectuall or working by loue XIIII The forme of our iustification is the free remission a Rom. 4.6.7.8 Luke 18.13 and 14. Act. 13.38 and 39. of sinnes for like as the wrath of God is vpon all so long as they continue in sinne so whom the Lord shall receiue to grace them he is sayd to iustifie that is of sinners to make them righteous this he doth by pardoning and discharging them from their sinnes For if we consider them whom God receiued to his grace by their workes they shal be founde b Rom. 9. 1. Iohn 1.8 sinners as yet which notwithstāding are and must be acquited and freed from their sinnes XV. Againe thus the forme of our iustification is this God doth remoue our sins from vs and imputes them vnto Christ and againe imputes the righteousnesse of Christ vnto vs consider this demonstration for thy better

life and glory euerlasting but the vngodly to shame and b Iohn 5.29 death euerlasting IIII. This glorious and blessed resurrection of the godly dependeth vpon the resurrection of a 1. Cor. 15.12 c. 1. Thess 4.14 Christ as of their head to whom they as members must be conformed V. Christ then the head of the godly shal in the resurrection make our bodies a Phil. 5.21 1. Cor. 15.35 c. like to his glorious body VI. Againe Christ shall raise the dead at his glorious a 1. Thes 4.16 comming to iudgemēt with the shout of an Archangell and sound of a trumpet VII The dead being raised then in a moment as in the twinckling of an eye the liuing shal be a 1. Thess 4.16 and. 17. 1. Cor. 15.52 and 53. chaunged so that their bodies shal be made incorruptible VIII Then streight wayes all the godly shal be a 1. Thess 4.17 caught vp into the ayre to meete the Lord and so shall b Ibid. Math. 25.34 and 46. euer be with the Lord and with him enioy euerlasting happines IX On the contrary the vngodly shall together with the deuils be thrust down into a Math. 25.41 and 46. hell into the b Reue. 20.15 chap. 21. 8 lake that euer burneth with fire and brimstone and there shal be tormented X. Againe eternall life consisteth chiefly in the full feeling of Gods loue in the communion of his nature according to these sayings a Psal 17.15 I shal be saith Dauid satisfied with thine Image againe b Psal 16.18 in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy and pleasures at thy right hand for euermore And Peter affirmeth c 2. Pet. 1.4 that the faithfull are to this end called that they may be partakers of the diuine nature that is of the graces of God his wisedome righteousnesse holinesse and glory XI And albeit the blessed there shall want nothing pertinent to perfect felicitie because God shal be a 1. Cor. 15.28 all in all yet of that heauenly glory wherewith they shal be beautified there shal be certaine b 1. Cor. 15.41 and 42. degrees as there were also c 1. Cor. 12.4 degrees of their giftes in this life and as there shal be d Mat. 10.15 and chap. 11 20. c. degrees of torments amongst the dāned And aboue others excelling most shining shal be the glory of the teachers of the word that haue faithfully instructed the Church and so brought many to righteousnesse as e Dan. 12.3 Daniell speaketh XII This doctrine as it may iustly terrifie the vngodly so to the godly in al miseries and euen in death it is a 1. Thess 4. vers last most comfortable as they that know and by the grace of God stedfastly trust that their soule by death b Iohn 11.25 passeth into life and by the Angels is c Luk. 16.22 caried into Abrahams bosome that is into heauē so to d Phil. 1.23 Christ their bodies although they rot and be eaten of wormes yet shall in due time rise again and be clothed with euerlasting glory CHAP. XIX Of the Church I. APHORISME THe Church is a a Mat 26.28 Iohn 17.20 multitude of men b Ephe. 1.13 Ro. 10.14.15 effectually c Rom. 8.30 called by the preaching of the d Rom. 1.7 1.

Cor. 7.14 children and the children of hypocrites which as yet by their age are not capable of this calling II. The Church is either vniuersall which commonly the Greekes call Catholicke or particular III. The vniuersall or Catholicke Church is the whole multitude of them who from the beginning of the world haue beleeued in Christ that now do beleeue and shall beleeue to the worldes end Whereof one part now triumpheth a Ephe. 1. ● Co● ● in heauen to wi●● the faithfull that are departed another part is militant on the earth that is the faithfull that yet liue And this again is diuided into particular Churches IIII. A Particular Church is a particular Congregation of the faithfull dwelling a 1. Cor. 12. 2. Cor. 1.1 Gal. 1.2 1. Thess 1.1 2. Thess 1.1 together in one place exercising them selues in Gods worship according to the direction of his word V. A Particular Church may be distinguished in the old and the new VI. By the old I meane that which was before Christes incarnation as the Church of the Iewes which then did excel as touching the forme of outward gouernmēt VII I call that the new Church which began after Christs comming especially after his ascension in heauen being gathered out of a Ephe. 2.13 diuerse nations and this is called b Act. 11.26 the Christian Church VIII Where the Church is a Rom. 2.28.29 c. 11.7 distinguished in the inuisible and visible it may not be thought that there be two Churches of diuerse kinds but one the same Church in diuerse respectes may be said to be visible and inuisible IX And it is called inuisible for that it can not be seene with mens eies for that faith by which the Church hath her being in Christ is placed in the a Rom. 2.29 hart which none but b Act. 1.24 God can see X. But it is said to be visible for that it hath certain markes which may be seene and whereby we may conclude assuredly that there is a Church people of God albeit a 1. Ioh. 2.19 Math. 13.3 d. Item 43. c. hypocrites be mingled with them who professe the same faith yet beleeue not in Iesus Christ XI These markes are the a Ephe. 2.20 Act. 2.24 pure preaching of the word and lawfull administration of the b 1.

Cor. 5.5 discipline be also required yet if here the gouernours of the Churches be slacke in their duties ☜ the Church is not presently to be thought no Church as long as the two former markes remaine XIII And yet further I ad there may creep in some corruption both in a Cor. 3.12 doctrine and in the administratiō of the b 1. Cor. 11.12 Sacraments yet it shall not cease to be a Church as long as the c 1. Cor. 3.11 foundation is retained which is Christ or saluation by Christ alone XIIII It is the dutie of euery godly man to a Heb. 10.25 1. Cor. 11.20 ioyne himself to such a congregation or societie as he seeth to haue those markes and as
