and_o resurrection_n also_o depend_v from_o the_o reality_n of_o his_o body_n but_o these_o two_o nature_n be_v unite_v so_o close_o in_o one_o person_n that_o they_o have_v not_o be_v separate_v even_o by_o his_o death_n therefore_o that_o which_o at_o his_o die_a he_o commit_v in_o the_o hand_n of_o his_o father_n be_v a_o real_a humane_a spirit_n depart_v from_o his_o body_n nevertheless_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v always_o unite_v with_o the_o humane_a even_o when_o he_o lay_v in_o the_o grave_a and_o the_o godhead_n do_v not_o cease_v in_o he_o no_o more_o than_o when_o he_o be_v a_o little_a child_n tho'_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v so_o manifest_o for_o a_o while_n therefore_o we_o confess_v he_o to_o be_v real_a god_n and_o real_a man_n real_a god_n for_o to_o overcome_v death_n by_o his_o power_n and_o real_a man_n that_o by_o the_o infirmity_n of_o his_o flesh_n he_o may_v die_v for_o we_o xx_o we_o believe_v that_o god_n who_o be_v perfect_o merciful_a and_o just_a have_v send_v his_o son_n for_o to_o take_v upon_o he_o that_o nature_n in_o which_o the_o disobedience_n be_v commit_v that_o so_o in_o it_o he_o may_v give_v satisfaction_n for_o and_o suffer_v the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n by_o his_o severe_a suffering_n and_o death_n thus_o god_n have_v exercise_v his_o justice_n against_o his_o son_n when_o he_o lay_v our_o sin_n upon_o he_o and_o have_v pour_v forth_o his_o goodness_n and_o mercy_n on_o we_o who_o be_v guilty_a and_o worthy_a of_o condemnation_n in_o give_v his_o son_n up_o unto_o death_n through_o a_o perfect_a love_n and_o raise_v he_o up_o to_o our_o justification_n that_o so_o by_o he_o we_o may_v obtain_v immortality_n and_o life_n eternal_a xxi_o we_o believe_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v a_o everlasting_a highpriest_n with_o and_o after_o the_o order_n of_o melchisedec_n have_v propose_v himself_o in_o our_o name_n to_o the_o father_n for_o to_o allay_v his_o anger_n with_o full_a satisfaction_n offer_v himself_o up_o unto_o the_o cross_n and_o shed_v his_o precious_a blood_n to_o the_o cleanse_n of_o our_o sin_n as_o the_o prophet_n have_v foretold_v for_o it_o be_v write_v that_o the_o punishment_n be_v lay_v upon_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v have_v peace_n and_o be_v heal_v by_o his_o wound_n that_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o death_n like_o a_o lamb_n be_v reckon_v among_o the_o malefactor_n that_o he_o be_v condemn_v as_o a_o malefactor_n by_o pontius_n pilate_n although_o he_o find_v he_o not_o guilty_a thus_o he_o have_v pay_v for_o that_o which_o he_o do_v not_o rob_v and_o suffer_v though_o just_a for_o the_o un_fw-mi just_o both_o in_o body_n and_o soul_n feel_v the_o horrible_a punishment_n which_o our_o sin_n deserve_v inasmuch_o that_o his_o sweat_n become_v like_v unto_o drop_n of_o blood_n fall_v upon_o the_o ground_n he_o cry_v my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o suffer_v all_o this_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n therefore_o we_o say_v right_a well_o with_o saint_n paul_n that_o we_o do_v not_o know_v anything_o save_v christ_n and_o he_o crucify_v we_o count_v all_o thing_n but_o dung_n for_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o find_v all_o manner_n of_o consolation_n in_o his_o wound_n and_o we_o have_v no_o need_n to_o seek_v or_o invent_v any_o other_o mean_n to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n but_o this_o one_o sacrifice_n once_o offer_v up_o through_o which_o the_o believer_n become_v perfect_a for_o ever_o this_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o he_o be_v call_v by_o the_o angel_n of_o god_n jesus_n that_o be_v saviour_n because_o he_o shall_v save_v his_o people_n from_o their_o sin_n xxii_o we_o believe_v that_o for_o the_o attain_n to_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o this_o mystery_n the_o holy_a ghost_n kindle_v in_o our_o heart_n a_o sincere_a belief_n which_o embrace_v jesus_n christ_n with_o all_o his_o merit_n and_o own_v he_o seek_v nothing_o beside_o he_o for_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o either_o every_o thing_n which_o be_v require_v to_o our_o salvation_n be_v not_o in_o christ_n jesus_n or_o if_o all_o thing_n be_v in_o he_o than_o he_o who_o enjoy_v christ_n by_o faith_n must_v have_v his_o salvation_n entire_o now_o to_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v not_o sufficient_a but_o that_o there_o want_v something_o beside_o he_o will_v be_v to_o gross_a a_o blasphemy_n for_o hence_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o christ_n be_v but_o half_a a_o saviour_n therefore_o we_o have_v just_a cause_n to_o say_v with_o st._n paul_n that_o we_o be_v justify_v only_o by_o faith_n or_o by_o faith_n without_o work_n yet_o to_o speak_v more_o proper_o we_o do_v not_o mean_v the_o faith_n to_o be_v that_o by_o which_o we_o be_v justify_v for_o it_o be_v but_o a_o instrument_n by_o which_o we_o embrace_v christ_n our_o righteousness_n but_o jesus_n christ_n impute_v we_o all_o his_o merit_n and_o so_o many_o holy_a work_n as_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o in_o our_o room_n be_v our_o righteousness_n and_o faith_n be_v a_o instrument_n by_o which_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o all_o his_o good_n which_o be_v become_v we_o be_v more_o than_o sufficient_a to_o the_o absolve_v we_o of_o our_o sin_n xxiii_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o happiness_n consist_v in_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o jesus_n christ_n sake_n and_o that_o our_o righteousness_n before_o god_n be_v contain_v therein_o as_o david_n and_o st._n paul_n do_v teach_v we_o declare_v this_o to_o be_v the_o happiness_n of_o man_n that_o god_n impute_v he_o the_o righteousness_n without_o work_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n say_v that_o we_o be_v justify_v free_o or_o through_o grace_n by_o the_o redemption_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o we_o do_v always_o lay_v hold_n of_o this_o foundation_n give_v all_o glory_n unto_o god_n and_o humble_v and_o acknowledge_v ourselves_o to_o be_v such_o as_o realy_a we_o be_v without_o boast_v of_o any_o thing_n out_o of_o ourselves_o or_o our_o own_o merit_n but_o only_o rely_v on_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ_n the_o crucify_a which_o be_v we_o if_o we_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v sufficient_a to_o hide_v all_o our_o iniquity_n and_o to_o give_v we_o boldness_n to_o free_v the_o conscience_n from_o terror_n astonishment_n and_o fear_n to_o approach_v unto_o god_n without_o do_v like_o our_o first_o father_n adam_n who_o tremble_v cover_v himself_o with_o figleaf_n and_o true_o if_o we_o be_v to_o appear_v before_o god_n rely_v upon_o ourselves_o or_o any_o other_o creature_n though_o never_o so_o little_a alas_o we_o will_v be_v devour_v and_o therefore_o every_o one_o ought_v to_o say_v with_o david_n lord_n do_v not_o enter_v into_o judgement_n with_o thy_o servant_n for_o no_o live_a creature_n will_v be_v justify_v before_o thou_o xxiv_o we_o believe_v that_o this_o true_a faith_n be_v wrought_v in_o man_n by_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v regenerate_v and_o change_v he_o into_o a_o new_a man_n by_o which_o he_o come_v to_o live_v a_o new_a life_n and_o be_v make_v free_a from_o the_o bondage_n of_o sin_n this_o justify_v faith_n therefore_o be_v so_o far_o from_o make_v man_n grow_v cold_a in_o a_o honest_a and_o holy_a life_n that_o without_o it_o they_o will_v never_o do_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o love_n unto_o god_n but_o only_o out_o of_o love_n unto_o themselves_o and_o for_o fear_n of_o be_v damn_v it_o be_v therefore_o impossible_a that_o this_o holy_a faith_n shall_v be_v unfruitful_a in_o man_n for_o we_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o a_o vain_a belief_n but_o of_o such_o a_o one_o which_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v call_v a_o faith_n that_o work_v by_o love_n and_o stir_v man_n to_o the_o excercise_n of_o those_o work_n which_o god_n have_v command_v in_o his_o word_n which_o work_v if_o they_o proceed_v from_o the_o good_a root_n of_o faith_n be_v good_a and_o acceptable_a unto_o god_n because_o they_o be_v sanctify_v by_o his_o grace_n in_o the_o mean_a while_o they_o be_v of_o no_o account_n towards_o our_o

fruit_n of_o a_o tree_n can_v be_v good_a before_o the_o tree_n itself_o be_v good_a thus_o we_o do_v good_a work_n but_o not_o for_o any_o merit_n for_o what_o can_v we_o merit_v nay_o we_o be_v behold_v
a_o gracious_a father_n unto_o we_o for_o ever_o therefore_o he_o have_v give_v a_o charge_n to_o baptise_v all_o that_o be_v he_o in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n the_o son_n and_o the_o holy_a

which_o be_v visible_a but_o our_o lord_n give_v that_o which_o be_v signify_v by_o the_o sacrament_n viz._n the_o invisible_a gift_n and_o grace_n wash_v cleanse_a and_o purify_n our_o soul_n from_o

the_o new_a man_n and_o put_v away_o the_o old_a man_n with_o all_o his_o deed_n therefore_o we_o believe_v that_o whosoever_o intend_v to_o enter_v into_o life_n eternal_a he_o must_v be_v baptize_v but_o once_o with_o the_o only_a baptism_n without_o ever_o repeat_v the_o same_o for_o we_o can_v be_v bear_v twice_o and_o this_o baptism_n be_v not_o only_o useful_a whilst_o the_o water_n be_v upon_o we_o and_o that_o we_o receive_v the_o same_o but_o also_o through_o all_o our_o life_n time_n therefore_o we_o reject_v the_o error_n of_o the_o anabaptist_n who_o be_v not_o content_a with_o the_o one_o only_a baptism_n which_o once_o they_o have_v receive_v but_o condemn_v also_o the_o baptism_n of_o the_o infant_n of_o believer_n which_o we_o believe_v aught_o to_o be_v baptize_v and_o seal_v with_o the_o mark_n of_o the_o covenant_n as_o the_o infant_n in_o israel_n be_v circumcise_v on_o the_o same_o promise_n which_o be_v make_v to_o our_o child_n and_o indeed_o christ_n have_v shed_v his_o blood_n no_o less_o for_o the_o wash_n of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o faithful_a as_o he_o have_v do_v for_o adulted_a person_n and_o therefore_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o that_o which_o christ_n have_v do_v for_o they_o as_o under_o the_o law_n the_o lord_n command_v to_o participate_v unto_o they_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o suffering_n and_o die_a of_o christ_n short_o after_o their_o birth_n offer_v for_o they_o a_o lamb_n which_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o jesus_n christ_n beside_o what_o the_o circumcision_n do_v unto_o the_o jew_n the_o same_o be_v do_v by_o the_o baptism_n unto_o our_o child_n which_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o st._n paul_n call_v the_o baptism_n the_o circumcision_n of_o christ_n xxxv_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n have_v institute_v and_o ordain_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o holy_a supper_n to_o nourish_v and_o sustain_v those_o which_o he_o have_v already_o regenerate_v and_o incorporate_v into_o his_o family_n which_o be_v his_o church_n those_o now_o who_o be_v regenerate_v have_v two_o sort_n of_o life_n in_o they_o the_o one_o corporal_a and_o temporal_a which_o have_v accompany_v they_o from_o their_o very_a birth_n and_o be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n the_o other_o be_v spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a which_o be_v give_v they_o in_o the_o second_o birth_n proceed_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o fellowship_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o life_n be_v not_o universal_a but_o belong_v only_o to_o the_o elect_a of_o god._n thus_o god_n have_v afford_v we_o to_o the_o nourish_a of_o the_o corporal_a and_o earthly_a life_n earthly_a and_o ordinary_a bread_n which_o be_v serviceable_a thereunto_o and_o common_a to_o every_o one_o as_o life_n be_v but_o to_o the_o sustain_n of_o the_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a life_n which_o the_o believer_n enjoy_v he_o have_v send_v the_o live_a bread_n which_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o wit_n christ_n jesus_n who_o feed_v and_o nourish_v the_o spiritual_a life_n of_o the_o believer_n when_o he_o be_v eat_v that_o be_v assume_v and_o receive_v by_o faith_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o for_o to_o represent_v unto_o we_o this_o spiritual_a and_o celestial_a bread_n christ_n have_v ordain_v a_o earthly_a and_o visible_a bread_n which_o be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o wine_n for_o a_o sacrament_n of_o his_o blood_n to_o testify_v unto_o we_o that_o as_o real_o as_o we_o receive_v and_o have_v in_o our_o hand_n the_o sacrament_n and_o do_v eat_v and_o drink_v the_o same_o with_o our_o mouth_n by_o which_o our_o life_n be_v afterward_o sustain_v so_o likewise_o by_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o hand_n and_o

without_o all_o doubt_n that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v not_o command_v we_o the_o use_n of_o his_o sacrament_n invain_a therefore_o he_o work_v in_o we_o whatever_o he_o represent_v unto_o we_o by_o these_o holy_a sign_n although_o his_o method_n surpass_v our_o understanding_n and_o be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o even_o as_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v hide_v and_o

manner_n of_o our_o partake_n of_o the_o same_o be_v not_o the_o mouth_n but_o the_o spirit_n through_o faith._n wherefore_o then_o christ_n jesus_n sit_v always_o at_o the_o right-hand_n of_o god_n his_o father_n in_o the_o heaven_n and_o nevertheless_o he_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o he_o by_o faith._n this_o feast_n be_v a_o spiritual_a table_n at_o which_o christ_n distribute_v himself_o unto_o we_o with_o all_o his_o good_n and_o he_o cause_v we_o to_o enjoy_v both_o himself_o and_o the_o merit_n of_o his_o suffering_n and_o death_n nourish_v strengthen_v and_o comfort_v our_o poor_a distress_a soul_n by_o the_o eat_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o refresh_v and_o cherish_v the_o same_o by_o the_o drink_n of_o his_o blood._n further_n tho'_o the_o sacrament_n be_v join_v with_o the_o

solemnize_n the_o holy_a remembrance_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n our_o saviour_n with_o thanksgiving_n make_v there_o confession_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o the_o christian_a religion_n none_o therefore_o ought_v to_o apply_v himself_o thereunto_o without_o a_o forego_n trial_n least_o eat_v of_o the_o bread_n and_o drink_n of_o the_o cup_n he_o eat_v and_o drink_v himself_o a_o
