surely we haue deserued that we shulde suffre eternally those punishmentes that the sonne of God suffred for vs seynge that inobedience and stubburnnes agaynste God do euer remayne in vs. Hereof it commeth that the Apostles in theyr sermons as we maye see in the actes were wonte to ioyne together the deathe and resurrection of Christe as the principal poyntes of Christian doctrine which al mē ought euer to haue in theyr sight And vndoubtedly they euer declared the same diligently and taught thereby howe Christe thorough the preordeined purpose and prouidence of God was deliuered and died for our sinnes and rose for oure ryghteousnes Wherefore thorough the preachinge of the passion and death of Christ they exhorted the people to acknowledge theyr sinnes and to repent truly and by the testimonies of the resurrection they stirred them vp to fayth and truste of grace and for gyuenes of synnes For they that can truly beleue and perswade them selues that the sonne of God was smitten for theyr sinnes and that the horriblenes of oure synnes is so greate that it behoued the sonne of god to suffre so shameful and cruel a punishmente for the purgation of them while he would redeme vs from eternal death these men vndoubtedly shal be ashamed repentaunt of theyr sinnes such men shal abhorre excedinglye and feare synnes And so they shal conceyue a liuely and substātial repentaunce Wherfore whan Paule exhorteth to profit and go forwarde in repentaunce of sinnes and warneth that we liue not to satisfie sinnes but to kille them in vs and to dye concerninge the same he is wonte to make mention of the passion and death of Christe Roma vi Knowe ye brethern that as manie of vs as be baptised into Christe Iesus we be baptised into his death That he dyed he dyed for synne Item hym whiche knew not sinne he made sinne for vs that is to saye a sacrifice for synne The Apostle doeth the same thynge in manie other places where he allureth to a newe lyfe and to amendement that is to saye to true repentaunce Ephesi iiij Philip. ij iij. and. Collo ij and in other places For whiche cause also in mentioning both the Sacramentes Baptisme and the the supper of the Lorde he preacheth of the death and passion of Christ For as he sayd of baptisme that we are buried with Christ so he addeth in the description of the supper do thys in my remembraunce For as often as ye shall eate thys breade and drynke of this cuppe ye shall shewe forth the death of the Lorde tyll he come So. S. Petre sayeth also Se that hauyng your conuersation in feare ye passe the tyme of your dwellynge knowyng that you were redemed frō your vayne conuersation whiche ye receyued of the fathers teachynge not wyth transitorye thynges as with syluer and golde but with the precious bloude as of an vnspotted and vndefiled lambe Christe After the same sorte it shall be the preachers parte aswell in sermons as in the administration of the Sacramentes to shewe forth diligently to the people the death of the Lorde as the onely satisfaction for oure synnes and thorowe the same to rayse them vp and to dryue them vnto repentaunce And they muste witnesse to them that synne careleslie and stubburnly the thynge that is in the Epistle to the Hebru that is to saye that suche with theyr wicked life do stampe the sonne of God with theyr fete and defile the bloude of the Testament and therefore shall be punished of God at length horriblebly and euerlastyngly ¶ Of the true propre vse of Gods lawe FOrasmuche as the true acknowledgynge of synnes is necessarie to repētaunce or contrition the lawe of God must be continually declared and beaten into the people and the horrible punishmentes whiche God in the lawe threatneth to them that synne both wyth terrible wordes and moste dreadfull exemples whiche he sheweth in punishing the vngodlie must be sette before them For though Christe alone be the author of repentaunce towardes God that is to saye of holesome contrition and griefe for synne whereby the herte of man is perfectlye turned vnto God and brought agayne vnto the obedience of him yet he wyll that the preachynge of his lawe be applied to thys purpose and he wyll not denie the encrease of his spirite when it is faythfully applied Thys thynge then is chiefely to be warned to the entent that men maye be ryghtly taught of the lawe namely that all that is called the lawe or commaundemēt of God is so in dede that declareth vnto vs what god requireth of vs what pleaseth him and what displeaseth hym And this thing must What is to be vnderstāded by the name of the lawe necessarely be taughte because of thē which thinke that the lawe is not conteyned in the bokes of the newe Testamēt and that there be no cōmaundementes taught therein And agayne that there is no Gospell in the olde Testament Which errour maketh mē vnfitte and vntowarde to vnderstāde the scripture a right Wherefore where so euer commaundemētes are taught with whiche god sheweth what he alloweth ordisalloweth in vs whether they be in the newe Testament or in the olde they ought to be compted for the lawe of God and they must be none otherwyse taughte and declared then those that Moyses taught Secondly we must knowe thys also that there is a double vnderstādyng of the law A double vnderstandinge of the lawe The fyrste is flesly and grosse when men thynke that onely outwarde actes are prohibited in the lawe whiche if a man auoyed metely wel he hath satisfied the law though there remayne styll in the mynde euyll affections and concupiscence repugnant and cōtrarie to the lawe which is onely restrained for feare of punishmentes that it breake not forth into outwarde mischeuous actes As if a man should thinke when the law sayth Thou shalte not steale that he hath obeyed thys precept when he hath holden him selfe from manifest robberie and thefte though in the meane whyle his herte boyle wyth couetise and carefulnesse of thys lyfe and burne wyth the desire of an others good Surely thys vnderstandynge of the lawe is a false and a verie heathnishe erroure whiche maketh nothing els then hipocrites of whiche sorte that pharisee was standyng in the tēple and praying I thanke the God that I am not as other men be raueners vn iuste adulterers as also thys publicane is They then that thynke so carnally of the lawe haue muche a do and greate difficultie to come to the knowedge of Christe For they loke onely to outwarde workes which they thynke they can perfourme wyth their owne strength and therfore they truste that they maye obteyne forgyuenes of synnes and saluation wyth theyr owne workes And as for the preachynge of free remission of synnes thorowe Christe and the ryghtuousnes of fayeth they are either offended wyth it or despice it as folishe The vayle in olde tyme layed ouer the face of

Lorde as Iosaphat saide to his officers and therefore that God wil require a straite cōpte of the gouerners of his people toucthing their administratiō If the preachers shal propoune and declare to the people after this sorte what thinges God hath commaunded and dyd to the olde people aswel in heapinge most ample benifites vpon them as in chastisynge wyth horrible punishmentes and if they shal sette forth al the exemples that God hath exhibited in the scriptures to be considered either of his bountiousnes and seueritie or of hys kindnes and vnkindnes of the people they shal for theyr measure perfourme that thing that the Lorde witnessed of hym selfe I come not to breake the lawe but to fulfil it And that that the apostle saieth we abolishe not the law but astablish it ¶ Of preachinge appropriated to the newe Testament The preachinge of the newe Testament is to preach repentaunce and remission of sinnes in the name of our Lorde Iesu Christe For so the Lorde him selfe sayde and prescribed Luke xxiiii Bicause it is so written and so it be houed Christe to suffre and to ryse agayne from the deade the third daye and that repētaunce and forgyuenes of sinnes shoulde be preached in his name amonge al nations begynninge at Ierusalem Out of this cōmaundement of Christe S. Petre also testified before the assemble of the Iewes and the priestes actes v. in this sorte The God of our fathers hath raised vp Iesus whome ye slue hanged vpon the crosse This prince and sauiour God hath exalted with his ryght hande to gyue repētaunce and remission of sinnes vnto Israel In lyke maner he preacheth also before Cornelius act x. he cōmaunded that we shoulde preach to the people and testifie that it is he that was appoynted of God a iudge of the dead and quicke to him al the prophetes beare witnes that whosoeuer beleueth in hym shall receyue remission of sinnes thorowgh hys name Paule also in the synagoge at antioche of pisidia actes xiii sayeth thus Be it knowen to euerie one of you bretherne that thorowgh thys man remission of sinnes is preached vnto you thorough thys man euerye one that beleueth is instified frō al thinges from which ye coulde not be iustified by the lawe of Moyses So he sayeth also to the elders whiche he called from Ephesus to Milites cha xx ye knowe from the first daye that I entred in to Asia howe I was with yon at al tymes seruing God with al humblenes of minde and wyth manye teares and tentations which chaunced vnto me thorough the layinges awaite of the Iewes how I ouer slipped nothinge that myght be profitable vnto you but preached vnto you and taught you openly and in euerie house testifiyng both to the Iewes also to the greekes that repētaunce that is towarde God and that faith that is towardes our Lorde Iesus By these testimonies it is euident that A double preachyng of the Gospell there be two partes of the preachinge of the gospel or newe testament that is to saye a preachinge of repentaunce and of remission of sinnes Wherefore the preachinge of the newe testamēt must be ginne at repētaunce as the exemples of Iohan baptiste of oure Lorde Iesus Christe and the apostles doe teach For al these men beganne theyr preachinge wyth these wordes repent your former lyfe for the kingdome of God approcheth and beleue the gospel that is to saye the preachinge of remission of sinnes But in thys place the preachers muste declare what repētaunce we ought to vnderstande Whiche is true repentaunce For thys saiynge muste not be taken of euery repentaunce but of that that is towarde God which Christ the Lorde him selfe raiseth vp in our myndes And that is true contritiō and a iust griefe for our sinnes which we haue committed in thought wordes or deedes agaynste the lawe of God Whiche griefe anguish driueth vs to fle to Christe with fayth and truste that for hys sake we shal be deliuered from al our sinnes and frō the wrath of God and that for hys sake we shal be nombred amonge the ryghteous before God and shal be compted heyres of euerlastinge lyfe This is a verie euangelical and Christian repentaunce For it is not inoughe for holsome repētaunce to be grieued and vexed for oure synnes and to feare the iudge mēt of God with which repentaunce Cain and Iudas perished wherewith at length al vngodlye men perishe after that they beginne to feele what anger of God what dānation they haue purchased to them selfe thorough theyr sinful actes But as Paule sayeth we must necessarely haue repētaunce towardes God that is to saye we muste therfore be greued for our sinnes and feare the iudgemēt of God because we haue offēded god our creator and redemer and haue forsaken hym thorough sinnes that besydes contrition for our sinnes there be in vs also a burninge desire and studie of reconciliatiō with God a truste to obtaine the same and a sure purpose to amende our lyues and to yelde our selues wholy in to the obediēce of God Al whiche thinges a true repentaunce muste haue desire and perceyue and that thorough our onely bischoppe and redemer Iesus Cehrist which alone stirreth vp and worketh true repentaunce in vs whyle he maketh the preachinge of repentaunce effectual in our hertes gyuinge his encrease Of the preachinge of repentaunce But to raise vp this repētaunce in our hertes we must cheifely vse the preachinge of the death and passiō of our Lorde Iesus Christe wherewith he satisfied God the father for our sinnes And we muste also vse a continual declaration and repetinge of the lawe of God wherein God sheweth what thinges he alloweth in vs and what he disaloweth and how gētly and bountiously he handleth them that obey hys commaūdimentes and howe rigorously That repentaunce muste be taught out of the ignominious death of Christe he punisheth thē that contemne the same Wherefore the preachers in theyr sermons and in the administration of the sacramētes must preach the death of the Lorde with singuler diligence and sette before the eyes of the people and warne them studiously that the sonne of God whiche neuer committed anye sinne suffred that most bitter and shāful death onely for our sinnes For thei shal teach that thei be so abominable in the sight of the lorde that they could be purged with none other sacrifice with no merites or peynes either of men or angells but only with the precious death of the sonne of God For this cause the preachers shall admonish mē of the greatnes of sinne and of the wrath of God and they shal stirre them vp to repent earnessly And because Christe our Lorde is the onely glasse and exemplar of a godly lyfe we maie learne certainly and substantially out of the lyfe and obedience of Christe to what maner of lyfe we be made and called what stubburnes ther is in vs agaynst god and what corruption of nature whereby

is and muche wished for of oure Lorde Iesus Christe namely that he came for thys cause into the worlde beinge made man to deliuer all them that beleue in hym from synne death and eternall damnation and to gyue them a newe and perpetuall ryghtuousnes and lyfe Whiche thynge al the prophetes spake afore hāde of him as the lorde him selfe expouned in the laste of Luke So sayeth he it behoued Christ to suffre and to ryse from the dead the thirde daye and that repentaunce and remission of synnes should be preached in his name among all nations The Apostles taught the same thynge euerie where as it appeareth in theyr actes For thus Petre preacheth repente your fautes and let euerie one of you be baptised in the name of Iesus Christ for the forgyuenes of synnes and ye shall receyue the gyfte of the holy goste actes ij Item the God of oure fathers hath raysed Iesus whom ye kylled hangyng vpon wodde hym God hath exalted wyth his ryght hande a prince and a sauiour to gyue repentaunce vnto Israell and forgyuenes of synnes etc. And agayne he commaunded vs that we shoulde preach to the people and testifie that it is he which was appointed of god a iudge of the quicke and the deade To hym all the Prophetes beare wytnes that who so beleueth in hym he shall receyue remission of synnes thorowe his name Saynt Paule preacheth the same thynge actes xiij Be it knowen to you then bretherne that thorowe thys man remission of synnes is preached etc. Though thys preachyng of the Gospell be short neuertheles it is the power of God vnto saluation to euerie one that beleueth Ro. i. Wherfore Christe also compareth the Gospell to a mustarde corne to a treasure hidde in a felde to a precious margarite for the gettyng wherof we must sell and leaue all thynges Math. xiiij But that the strēgth and efficacie of the Gospel may be more euident the preachers muste euer studiously set forth Christe and religiously preache howe great thynges he suffered for our saluation howe great thynges he did Further howe he wil haue these thynges shewed vnto vs and what he wyll worke in vs thorowe thys preaching It is euident thorow the preachyng of the lawe that all we be synners of oure selues and destitute of the glorie of God Rom. iij. Item that we are deade thorowe misdedes and synnes and be by nature the children of wrath as other be Ephesi ij prisoners and solde vnder synne that we oure selues can not ryse out of thys perdition of oure owne strengthe Roma viij Wherfore to obtaine saluation there needed a mediatour and sauiour whiche might pacifie God beinge angrie and recōcile vs to God and deliuer vs frō synne and death and make vs heyres of euerlastynge lyfe Suche a sauiour and intercessour Christe is made vnto vs. i. Timo. ij one God and one attonemaker of God and men Christe Iesus a man whiche gaue hym selfe a price of redemption for al men etc. Thys Mediatour first entreateth wyth God the father thorowe his lyfe death passion and intercession to turne his wrath frō vs to receyue vs into fauour and to gyue to vs as to his children the holy spirite and euerlastyng lyfe Further he cometh to vs and handleth his matter with vs thorowe the misterie of the Gospell his holy spirite and the crosse that we maye beleue hym and thorow faith obtayne ryghtuousnes and euerlasting life And he handleth his matter wyth God after thys sorte firste he ordred his whole lyfe accordyng to the wyl of the father beinge made obedient vnto hym vnto death whiche thynges we should haue done But bicause he sawe that they were impossible vnto vs he perfourmed them hym selfe he fulfylled the lawe as he sayth in Mathew I came not to destroye the lawe but to fulfyll it And Paule to the Gala. iiij Whē the fulnes of tyme came God sent forth his sonne made of a woman made subiecte to the lawe to redeame them that were subiecte to the lawe Therfore he wrate also to the Cor. Christe is made rightuousnes vnto vs of God that is to saye his rightuousnes was perfourmed for our sakes and gyuen vnto vs. Item Phil. iij. Yea and I thynke all thinges to be losse for the excellencie of the knowledge of Christe my Lorde and I cōpt them for refuse that I maye wynne Christe and be founde in hym not hauing my rightuousnes of the lawe but that that is thorowe the fayth of Christe etc. For whoso beleueth in Christ to him whole Christ and his perfecte ryghtuousnesse is imputed at once and togyther Secondly Christe translateth and remoueth all our synnes vpon him selfe dieth for them and suffreth al those thinges that we should haue suffred for our sinnes As Iohn Baptiste testifieth Beholde the lambe of God whiche taketh awaye the synnes of the worlde Item Esaie of a truth he bare our diseases and he susteyned our sorowes and we cōpted hym stricken wyth a plage and depressed of God But he was wounded for oure iniquities and beaten for oure synnes the chasteninge of peace was vpon hym and we were healed wyth his stripes And we haue strayed lyke sheepe euery mā into his owne way and God hath putte vpon him the iniquities of al vs. Item Paule Rom. viij God spared not his owne sonne but gaue him for vs all and Chap. iiij He was deliuered for oure synnes and raysed for our iustification So Gala. iij. Christ redeamed vs from the curse of the lawe beinge made a curse for vs for it is wrytten cursed is euerie one that hangeth on tree Thirdly he is a mediatour for vs that God wyll receyue vs into fauoure Esaie liij He bare the synnes of manie and prayed for transgressours The prayer of Christe Iohn xvij teacheth the same thynge I praye for them not for the worlde but for those whome thou hast gyuen me keepe them in thy name etc. And Paule Ro. viij Christe is at the right hande of the father and maketh intercession for vs. Itē to the Hebr. v. whiche in the dayes of his fleshe when he had offered vp with strōge criyng and teares prayers and supplications before him that was able to deliuer him etc. Yea the whole epistle sheweth thys thinge mooste euidently that Christe oure high bishoppe offred hym selfe for our sinnes and entred into the most holie place wyth his owne bloude an euerlastyng redemption beinge founde out So then Christe handled and doeth handle the matter for vs thorowe his death and obedience shewed to the father and thorowe his intercession that he reconcileth vs to God the father and for thys cause he is made Lorde ouer all thynges as the Apostle witnesseth Psal ij whiche beinge in the fourme of God thought it no robberie to be equall wyth God but he emptied him selfe taking the fourme of a seruaunt constituted in the lykenes of men and in shape founde as a man he humbled him selfe made obedient vnto the death and that of the crosse Wherfore God
