and that for the onely sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the crosse Maist What then do both these aswell the word as the Sacraments tend to that end to leade our faith vnto the sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the crosse as to the onely foundation of our saluation Schol Yea truly for the holy Ghost teacheth by the Gospell and confirmeth by the Sacraments that all our saluation standeth in the only sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the crosse Maist How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in the new Couenant Schol Baptisme and the holy Supper Maist How art thou put in minde and confirmed in Baptisme that thou art partaker of that holy Sacrifice of Christ Schol Because Christ hath commaunded the outward washing with Water adding this promise that I shall no lesse assuredly be washed by his blood and by his spirit from the spots of my soule that is from all my sinnes then I am outwardly washed with Water wherewith the spottes of the bodie vse to be washed away Mai What is it to bee washed by the blood and Spirit of Christ Schol It is to receiue at the handes of God forgiuenesse of sinnes fréely for the blood of Christ which he hath shed for vs in his sacrifice vpon the crosse and next to be renued also by the spirit of Christ and being sanctified by him to become a member of Christ to the ende we may more and more dye vnto sinne and liue holy without blame Mai Where doth Christ promise that he will as certainly wash vs with his blood and with his spirit as we are washed with the water of Baptisme Schol In the Institution of Baptisme the wordes whereof are these Goe and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost he that beléeueth and is baptized shall be saued he that belieueth not shal be condemned This promise is repeated when the Scripture calleth baptisme the washing of the New birth and the washing away of sinnes M●i Is then Baptisme the washing away of sinnes Schol. No. For the onely blood of Christ and the holie Ghost doth clense vs from all sinne M●i Why then doth the holy Ghost call Baptisme the washing of Regeneration and the washing away of sinnes Schol God doth not without great cause so speake not onely to teach vs that as the spottes of the bodie are cleansed by water is our sinnes are purged by the Blood and Spirit of Christ but much more that by his heauenly Token and pledge hee may assure vs that wee are as truly washed inwardly from our sinnes as we are washed with outward and visible water Mai Ought Infants also to be baptised Schol Yea truely for seeing they belong to the Couenant and Church of God as well as those that be at yeares of discretion And séeing vnto them is promised by the Blood of Christ forgiuenes of sinnes and the holie Ghost the worker of faith no lesse then to the other they ought also by baptisme to be i●grafted into the Church of God and to be discerned from the chuldren of Infidells as they were in the olde Testament by Circumcision in place whereof was ordained Baptisme in the newe Testament M●i How art thou put in minde and assured in the Supper of the Lorde that thou art partaker of that onely sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the Crosse and of all his benefites Schol Because Christ hath commaunded me and all the faithfull to eate of this Bread being broken and to drinke of this Cuppe being diuided amongst vs in remembrance of him and hath added this promise first that his bodie was no lesse offered and broken for me vpon the Crosse and his blood for mee shed then with mine eyes I sée the bread is broken vnto me and the cuppe reached vnto me Secondly that my soule is no lesse assuredly fed vnto euerlasting life by him with his bodie that was crucified and his blood that was shed for vs then I doe with my bodily mouth receiue bread and wine the tokens of the bodie and blood of the Lord beeing deliuered vnto me by the hands of the minister Maist What is it to eate the Bodie of Christ Crucified and to drinke his Blood that was shed Scholl It is not onely with certaine affiance of minde to lay holde of the whole Passion and death of Christ and thereby to obtaine forgiuenes of sinnes and life euerlasting but also by the Spirit of Christ which dwelleth at one time both in Christ and in vs in such sort more and more to be vnited to his holie bodie that although hée be in Heauen and we vpon Earth yet notwithstanding wee are flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone and as all the members of the bodie are gouerned and quickened by one soule so are we all by one and the same spirit M●i Where hath Christ promised that hee will as certainely giue vnto the belieuers his Bodie and his Blood in this manner to be eaten and drunke as they doe eate this Bread being broken and drinke this Cuppe Schol In the institution of the Supper the words wherof are these Our Lord Iesus Christ the same night he was betrayed tooke bread and when he had giuen thankes he brake it and said Take eate this is my body which is broken for you this do ye in remembrance of me Likewise after supper he tooke the cup saying This cup is the new Testamēt in my blood this do as often as you drinke it in remembrance of me For as often as ye eate this bread and drinke this cup ye shew the Lords death till he come This promise is repeated by Paul when he saith The cup of thanksgiuing wherewith we giue thanks Is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ The bread which we breake Is it not the Communion of the Lords body Because we being many are one bread and one body for we are all partakers of one bread Maist What then are bread and wine made the very body and blood of Christ Scholl No truely but after the nature of Sacraments the manner of spéech which the holie Ghost vseth in speaking these things the bread is called the bodie of Christ Maist Why then doth Christ call the bread his body and the cup his blood or the new Testament in his blood and Paul calleth the bread and wine the Communion of the body and blood of Christ Schol Christ not without great cause so speaketh to wit not onely to teach vs that as bread and wine sustaineth the life of the body so also his body crucified and his blood shed is indeed the meate and drinke of our soule whereby it may be nourished vnto ●ife euerlasting But much more by this visible signe and pledge to assure vs that we are no lesse truly made partakers of his body and blood by the working of the holy Ghost then we do with the mouth of the body receiue these holy signes in remembrance

be by the meanes of Christ ●ay God and my father therefore I so trust in him and so repose my selfe vpon him That I doubt not but he will prouide all things necessarie both for my soule and for my body And moreouer also that what soeucr euill he sendeth vpon me in this miserable life he will turne the same vnto my saluation seeing he is both able to do it as being God Almightie and willing to do it as being my mercifull father Maist What is prouidence Schol The Almightie and euerie where present power of God whereby he doth as it were beare vp with his hand and gouerne the heauen and earth with all creatures So that whatsoeuer groweth out of the Earth as also Rayne and drouth Plentie and dearth meate and drinke health and sicknes Riches and pouertie Finally all things that are fall out not rashly or by chance and fortune but by his Fatherly counsell and will Maist What profit haue we by this knowledge of the creation prouidence of God Schol Hereby we are in aduersitie made patient in prosperity thankfull for the time to come we haue a good hope reposed in GOD our most trustie Father knowing assuredly that nothing can drawe vs from his loue séeing all Creatures are so in his power that without his pleasure they are not able not onely not to doo any thing but not so much as to stirre or haue motion Maist Wherefore is the Sonne of GOD called IESVS that is a 〈◊〉 Scholl Because he saueth and deliuereth vs from all sinnes neither ought saluation to be sought for in any other neither can it elsewhere be sound Maist Do they belieue in the onely Sauiour Iesu● who seeke for happines from Saints or from themselues or from any thing else Scholl No for although in worde they glorie in him as a Sauiour yet in déede they denie the onely Sauiour Iesus Christ for it must néedes be that either Iesus is not a perfect Sauiour or else that whosoeuer by true Faith imbrace him as a Sauiour they also are possessed of all things in him which are required vnto saluation Maist Wherfore is he called Christ that is Annoynted Scholl Because he is ordained of the Father annointed with the holy Ghost to be the chiefe Prophet and teacher to reueale vnto vs the secret Counsell and will of the Father concerning our Redemption and to be our high and onely Priest to redéeme vs by the onely sacrifice of his owne bodie daily to make intercession vnto the Father for vs and to be the Euerlasting King to gouerne vs by his word and with his spirit and to preserue and maintaine that saluation which he hath purchased for vs. Maist Why art thou called a Christian Scdoll Because by Faith I am a member of Christ Iesus and partaker of his anointing so that I both confesse his Name and present my selfe vnto him a liuely offering of thanksgiuing and in this life with a frée and good conscience fight against sinne Sathan and after this life to possesse with Christ an euerlasting Kingdome ouer all creatures Maist For what cause is Christ called the onely begotten Sonne of God whereas we also are the Sonnes of God Schol Because Christ is the Eternall and naturall Sonne of his Eternall Father but we for his sake by grace are made the Sonnes of the Father by adoption Mai Wherefore doest thou call him our Lord Schol Because he hath redéemed our bodies and soules from sinne not with gold nor with siluer but with his owne pretious blood and hauing deliuered vs from all power of the diuell doth challenge vs properly to belong vnto himselfe Maist What doest thou beleeue when thou saist He was conceiued by the holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Mary Schol That the very Sonne of God who is and abideth true and euerlasting God did through the working of the holy Ghost take the very true nature of man of the flesh and blood of the Virgin Mary so that he is also the true séede of Dauid like vnto his brethren in all things sinne onely excepted Maist What fruit reapest thou by the holy conception and birth of Christ Schol That he is our Mediator and by his Innocencie and perfect holines doth couer my sinnes wherein I am conceiued and kéepeth them from comming in the sight of God Maist What beleeuest thou when thou saist He suffered Schol That in the whole time of his life which he continued heere vpon earth but especially in the end thereof he sustained both in body and soule the wonderfull paine and griefe of God for the sin of all mankind that by his suffering as by the only sacrifice of reconciliation he might both deliuer our soules from euerlasting condemnation and might also purchase for vs the fauour of God righteousnes and euerlasting life Maist What reason was there why hee suffered vnder Iudg● Pilate Schol That he an Innocent being condemned before a ciuill Iudge might set vs frée from the straight iudgment of God which was to fall vpon vs. Maist Is it any more that he was fastned to the crosse then if he had bene put to any other kind of death Schol Yea truly it is more for by this I am sure that he hath taken vpon him the curse which did hang ouer me for the death of the crosse was cursed by God Maist Why was it necessarie that Christ should humble himselfe vnto the death Schol Because the iustice and truth of God could by no other meanes be satisfied for our sinnes but by the death of the Sonne of God Maist Wherefore was he also buried Schol That he might thereby make it knowne that he was truly dead Maist But seeing Christ died for vs why must we also die Schol Our death is not a satisfaction for our sinnes but an vtter destroying of sinne and a passage into euerlasting life Maist What profit receiue we further by the sacrifice and death of Christ Schol That by the power of his death our old man is crucified together with him and is also dead and buried that the euill concupiscences and desires of the flesh may not hereafter raigne in vs but that we may offer our selues vnto him a sacrifice of thanksgiuing Maist Why is this added he descended into Hell Schol That in my greatest sorrowes and most grieuous temptations I may vphold my selfe with this comfort that my L. Iesus Christ hath deliuered me from the anguish and torments of Hell Maist What doeth Christs rising againe profit vs Schol First by his rising againe he hath ouercome death that he might make vs partakers of that righteousnes which he purchased by his death Secondly we also now by the power thereof are raised vp vnto a new life Last of all the rising againe of Christ our head is a pledge vnto vs of our glorious resurrection M●ist How dost thou vnderstand that he ascended into Heauen Schol That in the sight of his Disciples Christ was taken vp from earth to heauen
