iudgement which being ended the godly shal possesse the kingdome of Heauen but vnbeleeuers and reprobates shal be in hel tormented with the diuel and his Angels for euer The Exposition of the Principles I. Question WHat is God A. GOD is a spirit or a spirituall substaÌ„ce most wise most holie eternall infinite Q How doo you perswade your self that there is such a God A. Besides the testimonie of the Scriptures plaine reason will shew it Q. What is one reason A. When I consider the wonderfull frame of the world me thinks the silly creatures y t be in it could neuer make it neither could it make itselfe and therefore besides al these the maker of it must nÃ©edes bÃ©e God Euen as when a man comes into a strange Countrey and sees faire and sumptuous buildings and yet findes no liuing creatures there beside birds and Beasts hee will not imagine that either Birds or Beasts reared by those buildings but he presently conceiues that some men either were or haue been there Q. What other reason haue you A. A man that commits any sinne as murder fornication adultery blasphemie c. albeit he dooth so conceale the matter that no man liuing know of it yet oftentimes he hath a griping in his conscience and feeles the verie flashings of hel fire which is a strong reason to shew that there is a God before whose iudgement seate he must answere for his fact Q. How many Gods are there A. No more but one Q How doo you conceiue this one God in your minde A. Not by framing any image of him in my minde as ignorant folkes doo that thinke him to be an olde man sitting in heauen but I conceaue him by his properties and works Q.

First he is most wise vnderstanding all things aright and knowing the reason of them Secondly hee is most holy which appeareth in that hee is most iust and mercifull vnto his creatures Thirdly hee is eternall without either beginning or ende of dayes Lastly hee is infinite both because hee is present in all places and because hee is of power sufficient to doo whatsoeuer hee will Q. What be the workes of God A. The creation of the world and of euery thing therein and the preseruation of them beeing created by his speciall prouidence Q. How knowe you that God gouerneth euery particular thing in the world by his speciall prouidence A. To omit the Scriptures I see it by experience Meate Drinke and cloathing being void of life could not preserue the life of man vnlesse there were a speciall prouidence of God to giue vertue vnto them Q. How is this one God distinguished A. Into the Father which begetteth the Sonne into the Sonne who is begotten of the Father into the holie Ghost who proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne II. Q.

In what part of man is it A. In euerie part both of bodie and soule like as a Leprosie that runneth from the crowne of the head to the sole of the foote Q. Shew mee how euerie parte of man is corrupted with sinne A. First in the mind there is nothing but ignorance and blindnesse concerning heauenlie matters Secondly the coÌ„science is defiled being alwaies either benummed with sin or els turmoyled with inward accusations and terrours Thirdly the wil of man only willeth and lusteth after euill Fourthly the affections of the heart as loue ioy hope desire c. are moued stirred to that which is euil to embrace it and they are neuer stirred vnto that which is good vnlesse it be to eschewe it Lastly the members of the bodie are the instruments and tooles of the minde for the execution of sinne Q. What be those euil actions that are the fruites of this corruption A. Euill thoughts in the mindâ— which come either by a mans own conceiuing or by the suggestion of the Diuell euill motions and lusts sturring in the heart and from thesâ— arise euill words and deedes when any occasion is giuen Q. How commeth it to passe that alâ— men are thus defiled with sinne A By Adams infidelitie and disobedience in eating the forbidden fruiteâ— euen as wee see great personages bâ— treason doo not only hurt themselues but also staine their bloud disgracâ— their posteritie Q.
