¶ A compendious form and summe of Christian doctrine called the Testimonie of a true Faith meete for well disposed families for the more knowledge in God and better nourishing vp and confirming of all such as loue saluation in Iesus Christ Gathered corrected and newly augmented by Christopher Shutte Maister of Arte Seene and allowed Psal. 34.11 Come ye children hearken vnto me I wil teach you the feare of the Lorde ¶ Imprinted at London by Thomas Dawson dwelling at the three Cranes in the Vinetree 1579. To the right Honorable and his singuler good Lorde George Earle of Cumberland c. Christopher Shutte wisheth all increase of grace in the holie Ghost long continuance of life in al happie health and prosperity AFter that I called to minde Right Honorable and my verie good Lord the diligent care and prudent prouision which Dauid and other good Princes and rulers of Israel had for planting true religion in their Families for their better conuersation and good gouernement according to the lawe and rule of faith and had bene also often intreated and earnestly inuited by some my verie friendes and suche as loue the saluation of the faithfull to contract some compendious and Christian forme of godlie instructions and sweete prayers much requisite in well disposed families whose godlie demaunde I was not willing to denie bothe because I see the lacke thereof in manie families to require so needefull a labour and also because I woulde not abridge my duetie to my brethren and felowshippe of the faithfull if it were but with the poore widowe to cast two mites into the treasurie And waying also with my selfe howe manie busie braines are occupied to quarrell without a cause with truth it selfe I thought your honoures Godly Patronage to be a sure asyle to support and defende against the sting of carping Zoilus whatsoeuer in godly wise herein I shoulde propound And therefore I haue boldlie presumed too rest vpon your Honoures hoped protection as the chiefest anchore holde I had herein and take effecte to the ende my laboures might the better proceede Whereto my good Lorde I was diuerslie incensed First by your Honoures good liking and procuration of good litterature from time to time whiche neuer happened to anie without deserued prayse and iust commendation Secondly I was moued by your Honours good acceptation of my studies in the Lorde and other good remembraunces towardes me both of youre honour vnto whome I recount my selfe most deepely indebted and also of my good and most vertuous Ladie whom the Lorde hath ioyned as a moste comfortable delight and helpe vnto your honour Whose faithfull societie and happie felowship importeth an euident argument of Gods greate goodnesse towardes you in blessing you with the felowship of such a one as few or none excell or goe beyonde in trew godlinesse honestie and vertue To whom for her Honoures good affection to Christian religion I recognise my selfe muche bounde with all obedience Thirdly I was prouoked herevnto specially because such is and ought to bee the zeale and loue of all nobilitie whereof your honour is a most towwarde Braunche alwayes with maine and might to defend the cause of true Religion to the glorie of God and saluation of his people for whiche cause the Lorde hath stirred vp moste noble men and godlie Magistrates to be as Patrones and protectoures to the Ambassadoures of his worde for the better proceeding of religion So he raysed vp Moses to Aaron Iosua to Eleazar Dauid to Nathan Asa too Azariah Iehosaphat to Micha Ezechias and others to Esaie and Ieremie Zerubbabel to Iehoshua and finally the Emperoure Constantine to the councel of Nice All which were rightlie termed Nobles for the zeale and loue they had to true religion And albeit by sinister and crooked meanes some were ennobled and so crept into the carefull chaire of worldlie dignitie yet none were euer rightly and in verie deede accompted noble but such as vndertooke the patronage and aide of Christian religion which thing I humblie craue vpon your Honoure For euen in this wise Moses doth call the Israelites a pretious and a noble generation so long as they obserued the commaundements of the lord Vpon the like condition the Lord established his mercies with king Dauid his Seruaunt that the throne of Iuda should not be destitute of one to raigne vpon the same for euer To which thing Dauid had respect when he lay vppon his death bedde and therevpon councelled Salomon his sonne to whom the kingdome was promised to walke in the way of truth wherein he had bene brought vp to the ende he might prosper and haue good successe To like purpose Romanus a man of great nobilitie being caried to the place of martirdom for the profession of Christian religion a rare thing in Nobles to beholde boldely auouched that his nobilitie rested not so much in the bloude of his Auncestoures as in the profession of the Christian faith and other vertues thereto agreeing And therefore he saide Non progenitorum sanguis sed Christianae pietatis professio me nobilem facit that is Not the bloud of my progenitoures but the profession of Christian religion maketh me noble and renowned And in deede if we shoulde with a single eye looke to the Prosapie of Adam and wild oliue tree out of the which all fleshe was taken there woulde be no great cause of triumph to anie of any thing whiche wee haue of nature But this is and ought to be manns chiefe nobilitie that he is graffed in Christe Iesus by faith adopted to be the child of God made by faith pertaker of his graces and felow heire of his kingdome and this is very nobilitie Wherewith Saint Ambrose beeing moued aduertised the Emperour Theodosius and in him all nobilitie to consider his nature to bee fraile least happilie principallitie shoulde blinde him and make him quite forget himselfe and his obedience towardes God. Wherevpon it may be gathered right honorable that not onelie the Potentates of al sortes ought well to remember their calling but specially to addresse them selues in all obedience to serue the Lorde to foster his churche to promote and defende his true religion For therefore are they called to nobilitie wherein I woulde to God it might well please euen all degrees of suche as bee exalted on highe and gouernoures of families deepely to acknowledge and confesse that the Lord hath made them Fathers for his trueth Patrones to mainteine religion and lightes of godlie life for others to followe For like as the sonne in the firmament giueth light to all the regions rounde about him and by his bright appearing expelleth the darkenesse comforteth and cheereth the worlde Semblably shoulde nobilitie banish sinne and corrupt religion and be a lantern of Godlie life to comforte and shine to others that they mighte directe their liues after their good ensamples as the Apostle wisheth the godlie to bee without rebuke in

with the good spirit of God that my whole delight may be reposed where true ioyes are to be sought that whan I shall finish this mortal race I may end the same in the faith and true profession of Iesus Christ my onely redeemer and sauiour To whom with the father and the holy ghost three distinct persons and one eternal God be al glorie praise for euer So be it A prayer to be sayde before the receiuing of the Lordes Supper O Most mercifull God whiche of thine euerlasting kindnesse haste wroght our redemption by the mediation of thy onely sonne our Sauiour Iesus Christ and also sealed the same vnto vs for the more confirmation of our faith by the heauenly and misticall banquet of his last supper instituted and ordeined as a pledge of his endles loue towardes vs that we in vsing the same from tyme to time might keepe a continuall remembraunce of his death and passion and testifie our thankefulnesse for our redemption We most humbly beseeche thee in thy tender mercies to looke vpon vs and to pardon vs all our iniquities our incredulitie and hardnes of hart and to poure into vs thy heauenly grace that wee being watred with the same and purified by faith in thine euerlasting promises may be arayed and clothed with the excellent righteousnes of Iesus Christ to the end hauing vpon vs our wedding garment we may be welcome ghuests by thy grace to thy holy table Where our soules may be nourished with the precious merits of thy sonne our Sauiours death and passion and that we also through faith in the same by thy grace may be fedde vnto immortallitie and lyfe O Lorde wee beseech thee to nourish and sustaine our hungry soules with the spiritual graces of thy sōne quēch the thirst of our harts with the dew of thy holy spirit that we may feele our sinnes clearely to be forgiuen vs and our consciences assured by faith of all the benifites of thy sonnes suffrings euen so fully to be doone for vs as if wee had doon the same our selues Good Lord for his sake geue vs grace to proced from faith to faith and more and more to bee confirmed in the way of our saluation by the reuerent and godly vse of these thy holy misteries giue vs a right iudgment and vnderstanding thereof and euer hold vs from all Popish corruptions of the same vnite vs more and more through thy grace vnto thy Sonne that hee maye dwell in vs and wee in him that he may be one with vs we with him to the end that being graffed and planted in him we may be thankefull and bring foorth the fruites of all holines of lyfe to the honour and glory of thy holy name through Iesus Christ our lord So be it 1. Cor. 11.28 Let a man examen himselfe and so let him eate of this breade and drink of this Cuppe For he that eateth and drinketh vnwoorthily eateth and drinketh his owne damnation because he discerneth not the Lordes body ¶ The forme of the confession of the Christian faith meete for all well goueruerned housholdes and necessarie for euery one to confesse which sincerely professe Christ and his truth I Beleeue and confesse my Lorde God the onely true eternal and almightie God incōprehensible infinit righteous and mercifull being but one in nature and substance but distinct in three persons the father sonne and holie Ghost Which God by his wisedome and almightie power made heauen and earth and all thinges therein and nowe by his fatherly prouidence gouerneth and preserueth the same I beleue confesse that Iesus Christ the sonne of God equall to the father and the holy Ghost at the time appointed of the father became perfect man yet without sinne borne of the virgin Mary the Godhead and manhood being vnited and ioyned together Who in mine owne nature sanctified by his grace fulfilled the Lawe of God for me and suffered in his body and soule the punishmentes due to my sinnes and made full satisfaction and payment for the same with his sacrifice vppon the crosse doone once for all And deliuered me from the curse of the Lawe from sinne hell death and damnation reconciled me to God the Father washed me from my sinnes cloathed me with his righteousnes and renued mee to righteousnes of lyfe And as by his death my sinnes are taken away and I set in the fauour God so by his resurrection death was conquered and righteousnesse restored vnto me wherein the victorie of my faith consisteth I beleeue and confesse that Iesus Christ ascended into heauen with my fleshe where he hath takē possessiō for me where he maketh intercession for me And yet neuerthelesse is present with me and all his elect by his spirit and grace and at the end of the world shall visibly come to iudgement I beleeue the holy Ghost equall with the father and the sōne who regenerateth and sanctifieth me from my vncleannes to liue holilie and righteously in this worlde assuring my conscience that I am the childe of God and heire with Iesus Christ of life euerlasting I beleeue and acknowledge the vniuersall Church of Christ euen al the companie of the elect agreeing together in the vnity of spirit and truth which church is not seene to the eyes of man but onely knowen to God of which number I am perswaded that I am one I acknowledge also a visible Church of God in this world wherein first the sacred woord of God is taught vnto his people being sufficient to instruct them in all thinges necessarie to saluation Wherwith together with the ministerie of the spirit he ruleth the same Secondly in this Church the two Sacramentes of Baptisme and the Lords Supper are rightly and sincerely ministred Wherin as by Baptisme I am regenerate and receiued into the houshold and felowship of Christians my sinnes being washed away through faith in Christes blood So by the Supper of the Lorde wherein spiritually by faith my soule is fed with the graces and benefits of Iesus Christ I am nourished and sustayned in the church being one with Christ and Christ with me dwelling also in him and hee in mee Thirdly there is in this Church due punishment and correction for offences the end whereof is excommunication by the consent of the Church Lastly I beleeue and confesse that onely in this Church there is saluation and free forgiuenes of sinnes to mee al the elect of God through faith in Christ by whose obedience we be made righteous and by whom we are chosen to an inheritance immortall and euerlasting in heauen Which I most humbly beseeche my Lord God to confirme and strengthen in me and shortly to make an ende of these sorrowful daies to translate me to euerlasting glory through Iesus Christ my redeemer and Sauiour Amen O Lorde increase our faith 1.
