is that man that putteth hys trust in hym To the moste honorable and verteous Lady Marie duchesse of RychemoÌ„de her grace Thomas BecoÌ„ wissheth from God the father thorow our Lord Iesu Christ a faythfull perseueraunce in gods most holy worde vnto the ende IT is not without a greate cause moste godly Lady that y â— holy Apostle sainct Paule desired the Thessalonians to holde faste y â— doctrine that he had taught theÌ„ afore and not sodenli to be moued from their knowlege vnderstanding nor to be troubled neyther by spirite neyther by wordes nor yet by letter For he vndoubtedly did afore se by the reuelacion of Gods spirit that there should aryse false anoynted and false preachers whiche shoulde worke great miracles and wonders insomuch that if it were possible the very elect chosen people of God shoulde be brought into errour whiche also shoulde saye beholde here is Christe or there is Christe bringing in damnable sectes vtterly denyenge the Lord that bought them as Peter sayeth He considered the imbecillitie weakenes and chyldishe hertes of men whiche excepte they be corroborated fortefied with y â— streÌ„gth of Gods spirit are sone caried aboute with diuers and strauÌ„ge learninges embrasing no lesse gredely that that is to them selfs noysome and pestiferous than that whiche is good and profitable as we at thys present time se dayly before our eyes both in the Papistes and Anabaptistes with suche other damnable sectaries Therfore this moste excellent Apostle desired the Thessalonians yea so many of vs as professe Christ vnfaynedly to perseuer abide in the worde of trueth eueÌ„ vnto the ende that we may be saued not lightly to be moued with the subtile and crafty persuasions of them that teache weake and beggarly tradicions with humayne constitucions which gyue hede to fables and mens commaundementes that turne away the folowers of them froÌ„ the trueth whiche professe that they know God but with their dedes they deny him inasmoch as they are abhominable disobedient yea and vnmete to al good workes which loue their owne pleasurs more than God hauinge an vtter apperans of godly liuing but denyeng the power therof whiche runne froÌ„ house to house and bringe into bondage both men and women lodeÌ„ with synne which are ledde with diuers lustes euer learnynge and neuer able to come vnto the knowlege of the truth which are enemies of the crosse of Christe whiche call that is euill good and y â— is good euill ce In fewe whiche are rauenynge wolfes not sparyng the flocke Dothe the world wante these enemies of Gods glory Haue not we also nede to take hede vnto the aforesayde wholsome admonicion of the holye Apostle saincte Paule Doeth not the worlde at this daye norishe such vngodly monstures What age hath bene withoute them syns the beginning of the worlde What nede I to speke of that great whore of BabiloÌ„ the mother of fornicacions and abhominacions of the earthe whiche hath made dronken w t the wyne of the wrathe of her whoredom all the nacions of y â— earth yea the very kinges and rulers of the earth haue playde the aduouterers with her The fornicacioÌ„ of that most filthy stinking strompet is so openly knowen made manifest vnto vs both by godly bokes and learned sermons that it nedeth not here to be rehersed And woulde God that as the name of this Babilonical strompet is exiled out of mennes mouthes and rased out of bokes among vs so in lyke maner her whoredome I meane the popysh and deuelish decrees which fighte with y â— manifest worde of God mighte ones be vtterly exiled banyshed and for euer dryuen away from the bondes of Christendome that all thinges in the Christen publique weale both in this and in other foren Realmes mighte be instituted ordered and appoynted accordinge to the veritie of Christes moste blessed Gospell But besides this monstrous beaste are there rysen not a few which are playne Antichristes daily labour to obscure the glory of God No maruel seyng that in the Apostles time blessed Iohn coÌ„fesseth that there were many Antichristes and false Prophetes What nede I to speake of them which teache that Christ by his moste precious death deliuered vs onely from original synne Which teache that man is iustified by his owne workes and not by the fayth alone that he hath in Christes moste blessed death which teache that by obseruinge mens tradicions euerlasting life is gotâ—eÌ„ Which teach that external ceremonies iustifie and put awaye synne Whiche teache that maÌ„ is able of his owne strengthe to fulfill the lawe and to satisfie the iustice of God which teache that our prayers can not be hearde without the intercession of other Which teache that all honour pertayneth not too God alone whiche teache that the bloude of oure sauioure Iesu Christ is not a sufficient Purgatorye for all oure synnes except we be broyled boyled and perboyled in y â— Popes fornace Whiche teache that the Lorde Christe gaue not hym selfe so plenteously a swete smelling sacrifice to God the father for vs that with the one oblacion of hys moste blessed body he hath made theÌ„ perfect for euermore that are sanctified Which teache that God alone forgeueth not synne but synnefull man also Are not these very Antichristes enemies of y e crosse of Christ defacers of Gods glory fals annoynted fals preachers rauening wolfs cloudes without water trees without frute raging waues of y â— sea foming out their owne shame waÌ„dring starres to whome is reserued y â— myste of darkenes for euer meÌ„ pleasers hauing men in greate reuerence for auauntage sake curssed chyldren whiche haue forsaken the right waye are gone astray these are they doubtles of whome
ouercome them both Who caÌ„ make me good but he alone whiche onely is good Who caÌ„ make me wyse righteous and holy but he alone which is appoynted of God the father to be our wysdome righteousnes sanctification Finally who caÌ„ engraffe in me life vertu but he alone in whome is all hope of life and vertue Therfore ful well doth Christ cal so many as labour and are loden with the burdeÌ„ of synne to him and promiseth that he wil refresh them that is to saye absolue and deliuer them frome their synnes Hereto belongeth the sayinge of blessed Iohan Baptiste Beholde that laÌ„be of God whiche taketh awaye the sinne of the worlde Here blessed Baptiste confesseth that it is Christe alone whiche absolueth and taketh awaye the synne of the worlde Doeth not also the holy Euangelist sainct Iohan in the aforesayde Chapter call Christe that true lighte which lighteneth euery man that cometh into this worlde what other thinge is it to lighten thaÌ„ too put awaye the cloudes of synnes and to sende into oure hertes the radiante and glisteringe beames of the eternall sonne whiche is the knowlege of Gods mooste holy will And this sayeth saincte Iohan is the office of Christe alone Why doth Christe cal so many as thyrste vnto hym promyseth that floudes of lyuysh water shall flowe out of their bellies yea and that he will geue them the water of life frely â–ª but onely to shewe that whosoeuer is thyrsty and hartely desireth remission of synnes muste with all haste come to hym and saye with the Psalmographe Lyke as the harte desireth the water brokes so longeth my soule after the o God My soule is a thyrste for God yea euen for y e liuinge God c. Furthermore Christe commaundeth y t repentaunce and remission of sinnes shoulde be preached in his name Where we may learne that forgeuenes of synne cometh onely by the name of Christe And in the Actes of y â— Apostles we fynde y â— when any famous notable acte or miracle was done â–ª the people as manye at this daye did ascribe it to the vertue and power of the Apostles willynge to do sacrifice vnto them for it but the Apostles did reiecte and cast awaye all suche immerited honor and vndeserued prayse contendyng and maynly laborynge to perswade the people that whatsoeuer was don came not to passe by their power but by the vertue of Iesu Christe whom God raysed vp from death And wheÌ„ they made mencion of remissioÌ„ of synnes they did neuer remeÌ„ber and reherse their owne power to forgeue synne but onely preached that so many as beleued and were baptised into the remission of synnes shoulde be absolued and frely forgeuen by the name of Iesu Christe And in the actes of the apostles blessed Peter playnly confesseth y â— there is no health no lyfe no remission of synnes but in Christ alone and that there is none other name geuen vnto meÌ„ vnder heauen wherein they muste be saued but the name of Iesu Christe alone Neyther did the Apostles absolue any otherwise than by the preachyng of gods worde which wheÌ„ it was heard beleued than were y â— diligent hearers and faythful beleuers of the same truly absolued as Christ sayeth Now are ye clene for the wordes sake that I haue spoken vnto you that is Now are ye deliuered froÌ„ your sinnes because ye haue beleued my preaching The fayth of y â— herte iustifieth sayeth sainct Paule Where it maye be learned y â— if fayth be not geuen to the worde there is no absolucion or deliuerauÌ„ce froÌ„ sinne For whatsoeuer is not of fayth is sinne where fayth is not there abydeth the wrathe of God as holy Iohan Baptist sayeth he y â— beleueth y â— sonne hath euerlasting life but he that beleueth not the sonne shal not se life but the wrath of God abydeth vpon him Therfore before Christ absolued any man of his synnes he did beholde se whether he had faith or not If Christe founde true fayth in his hert thaÌ„ he alwais sayde thy fayth hath saued the. Seyng than y e none can search the hert whyther it be faythfull or vnfaythful â–ª but God alone seynge also that the absolution beareth no strength but where faythe is it foloweth that none canne absolue me of my synnes but that Lorde alone whiche searcheth the raynes the herte The prieste is onely Gods minister appoynted of God if he be truly sent to preache that absolucion and fre deliueraunce from my synne thorow the name of Iesu Christe whiche preâ—chinge if I beleue I am so sure to be deliuered froÌ„ all my sinnes as though Christ hym self had sayde vnto me I frely absolue the or thy synnes are forgeueÌ„ the for thy faythes sake in my name Are not these the wordes of Christ whiche is the self trueth and can not lye spoken too all faythfull Ministers He that heareth you heareth me and he that deâ—pyseth you despiseth me and he that despyseth me despiseth hym y â— sent me But let vs reherse mo scriptures althoughe too anye Christen hert these whiche hytherto I haue recyted maye seme abundantly too suffice Blessed Paule in his Epistel to the Romains proueth manifestly that God alone iustiâ—ieth vs. If our iustificacion cometh from God alone than foloweth it wel that the remission of our sinnes cometh from God alone also For remission of synnes goeth before Iustification By Christes death are we deliuered from our synnes but by his resurreccion are we instiâ—ide and made righteous So doeth it euidently appere that it is God alone which both remitteth the synne and also iustifieth y â— synner for Christes sake which is our righteousnes Agayne the aforesayde Apostle sayeth that God hath not onely geuen vs his sonne but also all thinges with hym Ergo absolucion of synnes So se we y â— God alone absolueth forgeueth vs oure synnes for Christes sake SaiÌ„t Paule to the Galathians affirmeth that Christ gaue him self for our sinnes that he might deliuer vs from this present euill worlde that is to saye from all euil in this present worlde Ergo God alone it is which deliuereth vs from oure sinnes in this vale of misery Ye are wasshed awaye from your sinnes sayeth he yea ye are sanctified made righteous by y â— name of the Lord Iesu and by the spirit of our God Ergo our absolucion oure deliueraunce frome synne our sanctification oure iustification and all that euer good is cometh frome God thorowe Iesu Christ our Lord. Agayn he sayeth God y â— father hath blessed vs with all spirituall blessinges ergo with the blessinge of absolucion and fre deliueraunce from all oure sinnes God hathe deliuered vs from the power of darkenes and caryed vs into the kyngedome of his welbeloued sonne by whome we haue
For y e Papistes will here obiecte If remissioÌ„ of sinnes cometh from God alone than were the keyes geuen to the congregacioÌ„ in vayne But to the entent that I maye stop the mouthes of y e aduersaries and that they may haue no occasion to barke agaynst the glory of God after this marke wel good Reader what shal be spoken Trueth it is y â— God alone teacheth men hys verite by the holy Ghoste as it is written Al shal be taughte of God Again I will poure oute of my spirite vpon all fleshe and youre sonnes and your doughters shall prophecye The Psalmographe also sayeth I will heare what the Lord speaketh in me yet will he that they shoulde be studious of the holy scriptures bothe daye and nyghte as it is commaunded of Christe Searche the scriptures and also diligently heare the preachynge of hys woorde as it is written He that is of God heareth the woordes of God My shepe heare my voyce Euery one that is of the trueth heareth my voyce So in like maner although God alone remitteth all synne yet will he y â— remission of synnes shoulde be preached to the people that by this meanes they maye repent beleue and be made whole as Christ testifieth saying It behoued Christ to suffer and too ryse agayn froÌ„ death the thirde day and that repentaunce and remission of synnes shoulde be preached in hys name amonge all nacions Faythe cometh by hearing hearing by the worde of God For the ministers of the gospell are the organnes instrumeÌ„tes of Christ by whom God worketh thorow his holy spirit health and saluacion in so many as are predestinate vnto eternal lyfe They are Gods laborers ministers by whom we beleue eueÌ„ as the Lord geueth euery man grace They are the oratours messengers interpreters Asigels Apostles and Embassadours of the Lord as the Apostle sayeth all thinges are of God which hath reconciled vs vnto hym selfe by Iesu Christ and hath geueÌ„ vs the office to preache the attonement For God was in Christ reconciled the worlde vnto him self and imputed not their sinnes vnto them and among vs hath he set vp the worde of attonement Now then are we messengers in the roume of Christ euen as though God exhorted by vs. We beseche you nowe therfore in Christes steade that yâ— be at one with god Agayne to the Galathians he writteth on this manner Ye did not despyse nor abhorre me but receyued me as an Aungell of God yea euen as Christe Iesu. Hereto pertayneth hys saying to the Thessalonians He that casteth awaye vs casteth not awaye menne but God whiche hath geuen hys holy spirit into vs. Moyses also in tymes paste sayde to the people that murmured agaynste hym The Lorde hath hearde your grudgynge and murmuryng wherwith ye murmure against him For what are we Youre murmuriÌ„gs are not against vs but agaynst the Lorde So likewise reade we in the Gospell that the Lord spake of hys ministers Uerely verely I saye vnto you He that receyueth wlâ—ome soeuer I shall sende receyueth me And he that receyueth me receyueth him that also that sent me Agayne he sayeth he that heareth you heareth me and he that despyseth you despiseth me and he that despyseth â—e despyseth hym also that sent me Here se we that the ministers of Goddes woorde are not to be despysed for they are necessarye instrumentes vnto the health of men and they are worthy of double honoure as the Apostle sayeth Therefore maye it be concluded that the absolucion of the Prieste is not too be despysed seynge it is none other thynge if it be a true and Christen absolucion than the preachynge of fre remission of oure synnes in Christes name And although he y â— plaÌ„teth be nothing he that wattereth be nothing but God which geueth the encrease agayne albeit the Lorde blesseth vs with al spiritual benediction yet inasmuche as the inestimable kyndnes manyfolde benefytes of God toward vs can not be knowen nor beleued without preachinge for fayth cometh by hearynge and hearing by the worde of God therefore hath God appoynted hys ministers to open declare vnto men those excellent misteries those confortable ioyful promyses of Gods mercy and good wil towarde mankynde that they maye perceyue learne and vnderstande what is geueÌ„ them of the Lorde what they ought to beleue how thei shuld obtayne the giftes of God and lede a lyfe worthy the kyndnes of so bounteous a father God also hath appoynted the ministers to beget men in Christ Iesu by the Gospell too open the eyes of the blynde to turne theÌ„ from darkenes to lighte to coÌ„uerte the hertes of fathers into children and the disobedient to the wysdome of the righteous He hath commaunded them to preache repaÌ„taunce and remissioÌ„ of synnes in his name vnto all nacions Go youre waye sayeth he into the worlde vniuersall and preache the gospell to euery creature He that beleueth and is baptised shall be saued He that beleueth not shal be condemned Moreouer he hath geuen to his faythful ministers the keyes of the kyngedom of heaueÌ„ that whatsoeuer they loosen in earthe maye be also loosened in heauen And whatsoeuer thei bynde in earth maye also be bounde in heaueÌ„ that is to saye he hath committed to theim the office of preachyng the Gospel y t they should go forth into the worlde preache vnto all men the grace and fauoure that is geuen of God the father for Christes sake yea and that thei should proclaime publish and set abrode vnto all men that so many as repent beleue are losoned froÌ„ the captiuitie of sathaÌ„ purged froÌ„ syn deliuered froÌ„ death made enheritours of eternal life Again that so many as beleue not remayne still y â— captiues bonde sâ—aues of sataÌ„ coÌ„tinew bouÌ„de in their synnes and in the state of damnacion and that therefore thei shal dye the death and for euer more be damned excepte they repent turne and beleue And thus their preachynge is so certeyn and sure before God that whatsoeuer they pronounce beynge conformable to the worde of God shall as certenly come to passe as thoughe God hym selfe had spoken it As for an example Whan soeuer the ministers preachers of Gods woorde in this worlde shall declare to the faythfull repentaunce remission of synnes tell them that they be losoned froÌ„ y â— captiuitie of sathaÌ„ it is euen as certen sure as though God hym selfe had sayde these woordes vnto them Thy synnes are forgeueÌ„ the. In lyke manner whan they shall saye to the vnfaythfull that they remayne still bouÌ„de in their synne and that the wrathe of God abydeth vpon them and therefore they shall be damned God approapproueth their sayinge and it shal vndoubtedly come to passe according to their preachinge So that whatsoeuer the minister of Gods worde sayeth accordynge to the worde of
y â— other Apostles Ye meÌ„ and brethren what shall we do Peter sayde vnto them Repent be baptised euery one of you in y â— name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receyue the gifte of the holye Ghoste As they were greatly dismayde whaÌ„ the holy Apostle opened vnto theim their malicious fact in sleayng Christ the Lorde so were they very much conforted whan they hearde of sainct Peter y t there was hope of theyr synnes to be forgeuen so that they repented theym of their wickednes and were baptised in y â— name of Iesu Christ. With how entier and vnspeakeable sorow is it to be thought that the famous and notable adulterer amoÌ„g the Corinthians was ouerwhelmed whaÌ„ at y â— coÌ„mauÌ„demeÌ„t of s. Paule he was deliuered vnto sathaÌ„ excoÌ„municate put out of the christeÌ„ company and reputed among them as an Ethnycke Publicane Contrariwyse with what excedyng ioye was he replenished whan after hys repentaunce and sorowe he heard the swete promyses of Goods mercy declared vnto hym that lygheth bent oute towarde all synners that repent in faythe and afterwarde was receyued into the company of the faythfull Christianes I passe ouer diuers other histories bothe of the olde and newe testamente whiche do abundantly declare what great conforte the faythful peniteÌ„t synners haue alway had in hearing the confortable promises of Gods mercy Now the absolucion beyng as I said before nothynge elles but the preachynge of fre deliueraunce from synne by the death of Iesu Christ for God alone forgeueth synne and absolueth the faythfull penitent it ought not to be contemned and despysed but whansoeuer the Mynyster of the Lordes woorde be it priuatly or openly shall reherse vnto â—en the swete and confortable wordes of Gods mercye towarde all them that repent in fayth they oughte too geue earnest fayth vnto them beynge vndoubtedly perswaded that their synnes at that time be assuredly forgeuen theÌ„ as thoughe God hym selfe had spoken these wordes according to this saying of Christ he that heareth you heareth me But it were expedient that al true ministers should praye that their forme or manner of absolucion be pure and agreable to y â— vayn of the holy scriptures without the intermixtion of anye mans authoritie in remittinge synne eyther of Peter Paule Fraunces Dominike Benet or anye other or yet of theÌ„ selfs agayn y â— it be declared to the penitent that God alone forgeueth the synne and that the Priestes are but the ministers of God too whome he hath geueÌ„ the keyes of the kyngdome of heauen for to shewe to y â— true penitent loosoning that is to saye remissioÌ„ of their synnes to the obstinate and hardeharted synners byndyng that is that they remayn still in the daunger of damnacion and shalbe damned except they repent beleue It wolde also be prouided that whan the faythfull penitent is desirous to haue hys conscience confyrmed stablished and conforted with the worde of God it shuld not be muÌ„bled in the latin toÌ„ge as the Papistes haue hytherto vsed in their absolucions but in the mother tounge that the Idiote and vnlearned may vnderstande it and be edifyed Or els what fayth shall he coÌ„ceyue in hys herte Howe shall he repent How shall he knowe the goodnes of God towarde synners Howe shall he arme hym selfe with fayth agaynst sathaÌ„ synne and desperacion Howe shall he prepare hym selfe too geue God thaÌ„kes for his kindnes and lyue worthy of his profession God grauÌ„t that al thinges maye be done vnto hys glory vnto the profit of hys holy congregacion Here hast thou moste godly Reader my mynde concerning the absolucion and forgeuenes of synnes which if it be examined by the scriptures of God al mannes doctrine set aparte I doubt not but it will stande so stronge that the gates of hell shall not once be able too preuayle agaynst it Farewel most gentle Reader and praye that the Lordes woorde maye haue fre passage that y â— name of the great God and our sauiour Iesu Christe maye be glorified amonge all nacions and that al discension layde asyde we may agree in one faythe and one truthe Amen ☞ Geue the glory to God alone ☞ ⧠☜ Imprinted at London by Ihon Daye dwellinge in Aldersgate and William Seâ—es dwellinge in Peter Colledge These bokes are too be solde by the litle CoÌ„duite in Chepeside ☞ Cum gracia et Priuilegio ad imprimendum solum ii Thes. ii Mat. xxiiii i.
