I IOHN PENRY DOO HEARE AS I SHALL ANSWERE BEFORE THE LORD MY GOD IN that great day of Iudgement set downe sumarily the Whole truth and nothing but the truth which I hold and professe at this hower eyther in regard of my faith towards my God and Dread Soueraigne Queene Elizabeth unto whome only of all the potentas In the world I owe all reuerente dutie and submission in the Lord. FIrst because my allegeance vnto her Majesties is cheifly called In question that I am not at this day nor yet euer was in all my life eyther guilty or priuie in any purpose consultation or intent of any sedition against or disturbance of her Majesties Royall state ād peaceable government And if I were priuie vnto any such godlese wicked and vndutifull actions or purposes as might any ways impayre or disquiet the peaceaeble state of my native prince and countrie I would reveale disclose and withstand the same to the vtmost of my power in all persons both foraigne and domesticall of what prossession or religion soever they be Her supreance authorite within her realmes and dominiōs I acknowledge to be such over all persons in all causes as no person eyther ciuill or ecclesiastical may exempt himselfe or his cause from the power and censure of her lawes and sword I doe also acknowledge that her Majestie hath full authorite from the Lord by hir Royall power to establishe and enact all lawes both ecclesiasticall and ciuill among hir subiectes In the making whereof the Lord requireth that hir eclesiasticall be warented by his writtē word wich expressely conteyneth whatsoever belongeth to his worship her ciuill to be gronded vpon the rules of common iustice and equitie the wich boundes are so farr from diminishing from the authoritie of kings and princes as they are the onely inexpugnable waies therof This soueraigne prerogatiue authority of her hignes I am most willingly reddy to deffend and maintaine against all the estates persons and creatures vnder heaven to the losse of my life tēne tousandes tymes if it should be neefull And I take the lorde to record that that day to my knowlege hath not passed over my head I ā sure since the first that the lord vnder her gratious raigne broght me to the knowledge of the truth wherein I have not or doe not pray for the blessings of my God both outoward inward to be powred with afull horne vpō hir right excellēt Maiesties Throne Regimēt dominions for ever ever And that he would eyther cōuert or spedily overthrowe In his wrath all his and hir ennaemies with their entreprises whether they be home or foraigne Herof I cal the searcher of hartes as In wittnes of truth against my owne soule if eyther I di●ssēble or forge in the premises Secondly touching my faith I doe beleve with my hart and cōfess with my tongue that ther is no God but the true God only which that written word reacheth to be one in substance and three in person the father the sōne and the holy gost three distinct persons of one and the selfe same substance This most high God who also is my God in Christ Iesus I veleeve to be the creator preseruer maintainner soueraigne Lord and supreame commander of all creatures In heavē and in earth men and Angels both good and bad I doe beleeve that nothing doth or can comme to 〈…〉 but by the fore anointed and determinate wil purpose 〈…〉 onely by grace the sufferings and reghteousnes of Christ Iesus apprehended by true faith Christ Iesus In regard of his natures I beleve to be God man even God alone blessed for ever more And in respect of his offices to be the onely king Priest And Prophet of his Church the which offices he so fully accōp●isshed In the dayes of us flesh by the manifesting of the wholle will of his father thorough his preaching teaching the full redemption of his Chu●ch by his death and resurr●ction and rec●aving full absolute power in heaven and in earth from his father in such sorte as he is not to reteine a successor in any of these his offices but is consecrated alone to them all for euer more True faith I beleeve to be the persuasion of the harte where by the soule is truly assured of remission of sinnes and Imputation of righteo●snes thorough Christ This true faith belōgeth onely to Gods elect and hath perseuerance vnto the end with this true faith also is vnseparably ioined as the frut thereof a dying vnto sinne and a living vnto righteousnes in such sorte as the mēbers of Christ have a continuall battel in them against sinne the wich by the power of Christs death is so wounded and in some measure decayeth more and more in them vntil at l●ngth it shall be vtterly consumed whē the bodies and soules be separated and not b●fore By the quickninge power of Christ I do beeleeue that his here vpō earth are drawne more and more to like his blessed will and to practise the same yea to give their liues rather then to dishonor their God in the will and voluntary deniall of his truth and the breach of his lawes and wil in any point revealed vnto them His revealed will I beleeve to be perfet●y conteined in the written word of the ould and newe testament given by the holy ghost for Instruction and cōfort of his pore church as longe as the same is a pilgrime here vpon the earth This Church I beleeve to be a companie of those whom the word calleth saints which do not onely professe in word that they knowe God but also are subiect vnto his lawes and ordinance in deede with this Church I do beleev● that the Lord God of is meere fauour hath entred into couenant that he will be their God they shal be his people the seales of this his convenant are only two Baptisme and the Lord supper The Church here vpon earth I do beleeve not to be perfect although in regard of the order wich the Lord hath appointed for the same it be most absolute but to have manie blemishes and wātes in it yet I assuredly beleeve that all th● true mēders thereof shall at the day of judgement receive their perfect consumation by Iesus Christ and be crowned in him with eternall glory of his meere grace end not for anie merit of theirs Thorough the mercies of my God and therefore I am wilingly content to vndergoe my trouble in this life for his name sake who be glorified of my soule and body and of his saintes for ever more Amen I detest all heresies sectes schimes and errours wether newe or ould by whom soeuer they have bē inuēted as puritinisme donatism● Anabatisterie Libertinisme Brounisme all the dreames and dotages of the familie of one but especially all popery that most dredfull religion of Antichrist the great ennemie of the Lord Iesus the most pestilent aduersarie of all the thrones of kings and princes
