I. IN the eighth year of the age of H. N. in the days of Maximilian the first being made Roman Emperour by vertue or power of the Electoral Princes of the Roman Empire and the German Nation it fell out on an Evening in a Winter season That the Father of H. N. exhorted his Family and instructing them with many words That they should fear God a and to give praise and thanks unto him for the grace he bestowed on man 2 The same time The Lord opened the mouth of the childe H. N. and touched his lips and tongue and with this the childe spake to his Father and said Instruct me O my Father what is that singular Grace bestowed on us for which we ought to give praise and thanks to God 3 When the child had asked this questiof his Father The Father looked on the child and wondered that the child should aske him so earnestly and answearing the child said to him 4 O my sonne doest thou aske what that especial grace is which God hath bestowed on us and for which we are bound to give praise and thanks to him The same you read daily in the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ and is set forth unto us dayly in the service of the Masse and often also and abundantly is attested by Preaching how that God the Father by reason of Adams sinne whereby we all became the children b of death and damnation caused his deare Sonne Jesus Christ to suffer the ignominious c death on the Crosse and that thus Jesus Christ hath born the sins of Adam satisfied for the same on the Crosse and delivered us from that sinne into which Adam did fall hath reconciled us to his Father d and hath set up again the sincere righteoness and the true e life of Godliness and so all is found and restored againe that was lost by Adam that same is joyned again f made whole which through Adam was broken and wounded And this is that singular Grace which God bestowed on us to the laud and praise of his great Power 5 Then said the child O my Father I doe read indeed of the sufferings of our Lord Jesus Christ and I heare it daily testified in Sermons that God the Father hath bestowed on us his great mercy and that his beloved Sonne Jesus Christ hath suffered the ignominious death of the Crosse by reason of sinne g but I finde not according to Truth that the sinne is amended in us nor that the true righteousness h wherein Adam was created and placed is restored in us or set up again 6 Then said the Father Oh my sonne what I have told you about the grace of God shewed to us through Jesus Christ you need not to doubt of it beleeve the same in simpleness of heart and that it all is come to passe as I have told you 7 Then said the child O my Father I make no question of the mercy of God which is come unto us through Jesus Christ and all that which is preached to us of Christ and his satisfaction for the sinne as that he through the death on the Crosse

hath prepared and obteined for us i the Salvation from the Sinne I believe also firmely That Jesus Christ for to bring us againe in all Godlinesse to God his father k is gone before us in l that death of his Crosse and hath opened to us the way and passage to the Kingdom of God his Father and to the everlasting life And m hath prepared the way for us that we might obtein the same 8 For I understand out of the preaching of Christ That Jesus Christ is preached unto us in his Gospel to such an end that we should beleeve in him n and should obediently o follow him in the same Passeover of his sufferings till unto the fulfilling of our Godlinesse in the same Jesus Christ and then also that we through Jesus Christ should obteine againe the inheritance of our God the upright p righteousnesse together with the spiritual heavenly goods the which as it stands to me in my understanding is the same Grace and Mercy of God which is come unto us through Jesus Christ So I cannot conceive that it is any otherwise brought again or shall be restored which was lost through the fall of Adam or that we have missed by reason of Adams sinne 9 For as I have heard preached in the Church that the Worke of God which he did make in the beginning and also the man q when he created him was perfect between which perfect worke of God there came in a breach or rent through the sinne r whereby the man also is turn'd off from his God and is wholly s estranged from his upright manly estate and from the union with his God 10 Now if all this same shall be restored again then that which was torn and broken must be t joyned together again and the man with all that God hath made and ordained even as it was in the beginning must be set againe in his upright u forme and order which we see now plainly and perceive that the same is not yet come to passe or accomplished in us Therefore it appeareth altogether in my understanding That God for the bringing again of the man into his upright being that the repentance or satisfaction for our sins must have another performance and fulfilling then many men suppose or conceive 11 Then the Father mervailed much at the distinct expressions of the child and said O my son hold they self iu silence lest you dig too deep into the works of God I will relate the matter to our spiritually learned which are our advisers * they shall well instruct thee therein to the belt for I my selfe doe not understand this business nor thou neither as I suppose and besides thou art yet too much young to be able to comprehend such things therefore let us hearken to our Advisers and simply beleeve them herein 12 Then said the child Father it is well let it be so I submit my selfe alwayes to your authority and so in that evening there was no more talke of it 13 But all the night after the Father was much perplexed with the sayings of his young sonne And being of himselfe plaine and simple went the next day to the Minorie-brethren to his Confessor for he thought in his judgement that these brethren of the Minories which were called also the Observators were the most holy and most judicious in the Godly things and able to give good instructions to him and his sonne and intimated to his Confessor confiding in him most the whole businesse of his sonne 14 And his Confessor gave to him this answer That he should bring his sonne to him then he would take to himselfe a good brother and would resolve them of all these matters 15 The Father did according to the direction of his Confessor and at a convenient time he went with his young sonne H. N. to the Minorie-brethren That both of them the Father and the child might heare and understand the right instruction of what the child had spoken and therein might be pacified CHAP. II. NOw when both of these came to the Confessor of the Father of H. N then the Confessor looked on the child which was very young and little and said to the Father Is that the lad thou told'st me of That hath such strange whimses in his head Surely he is to childish yet as to trouble himself with such things as you told me of Thou shouldest of right with a rod chastise him from the same neither to hear nor answer him in his sayings for it is not otherwise then the madness of a child 2 Then said the Child hold there Sir why do you speak forth such words It is true that I am yet young and childish and am still under the Rod and Discipline of my Father and stand under his doctrine and instruction And if my Father at his convenient time doth instruct me And I cannot conceive or comprehend in my apprehension of my Fathers saying should it not be granted or permitted me to aske for the sense and true meaning thereof 3 When the Confessor observed the Lad 's so modestly answeared him he began to be somewhat moved in himself And answered then to the child more discreetly and said yea in truth my sonne it behoveth you indeed to aske what the right understanding is but you are yet much too young and too small of capacity to search into the a deep profound mysteries of the godly things or to fathom them 4 Then said the Child because I am young and of a small understanding in the mysteries of divine matters therefore am I the more inclined for that reason to aske and not to search thereafter out of my owne power but desire to be instructed and taught therein from my youth of my Elders and Teachers 5 Then said the Confessor it is well done my sonue if you keepe there but me thinketh that thou makest a doubt as thy father informeth me of the satisfaction of Christ for the transgression of Adam and for all our sins 6 Then said the childe no Sir thereof I doubt not but my saying is that I do plainly see b That the satisfaction in Christ for our redemption or deliverance from the sinue for which Christ suffered death on the Crosse c and made satisfaction is not performed as yet in us and that we have not followed Christ in his Passeover to his Father and if I pereeive this and find it to be so Is it ill done that I akse whether the satisfaction or the upright fruits of repentance be still owing or how d we shall be delivered from the sinnes and be brought to the upright righteousnesse 7 And when I inquiring after this and likewise have and hope that it be performed in us and that the righteousness in which Adam was created and set into shall be restored unto us and that we also shall be delivered from the fall
