A MOST EXCELENT AND FRVITFVL TREATISE CALLED PATERICKS PLACES concerning the doctrine of Fayth and the doctrine of the Law which being knowen you haue the pith of all Diuinitie With a briefe collection or exposition of a summe of S. Pauls doctrine touching iustification by Fayth in Iesus Christ which is the only marke to shoote at and the only meanes to obtaine saluation Selected and reduced into this volume by I. D. 1598. These thinges are written that ye might beleeue that Ies 〈…〉 is the Christ the sonne of God And that in beleeuing 〈…〉 ye might haue life through his name Iohn 20. Reade diligently Iudge soberly and pray earnestly to God for the true vnderstanding hereof AT LONDON Printed by William White dwelling in Cow-lane neare Holborne Condite and are there to be solde 1598. TO THE GENTLE AND FRIENDLY READER LIKE as in a Garden there grow diuers Hearbes and Flowers of sundry sortes which do so amaze the beholders as that they are in doubt which to make their choyce off So the holy Scriptures are a plentifull Garden being full replenished with all maner of heauenly comforts and spirituall consolation for the soule of man doth offer vnto vs many sweete flowers and pleasant fruites the chiefe whereof is Fayth in Christ Iesus Our sauiour Christ speaking of the nature and vertue of this Hearbe sayth If ye had Fayth as much as is a grayne of Mustard-seede and should say to this Mulberie-tree Plucke thy selfe vp by the rootes and plant thy selfe in the Sea it shoulde obey you Luk. 17. Math. 17 And in an other place Whatsoeuer ye shall aske in prayer if ye beleeue ye shall receaue it Math. 21. And againe I say vnto you Whatsoeuer ye desire when ye pray beleeue that ye shal haue it it shalbe done vnto you Mark 11. And S. Paule saith The Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne that the Promise by the fayth of Iesus Christ should be geuen to them that beleeue And againe Before Fayth came we were kept vnder the Law and shut vp vnto the Promise which should afterwardes be reuealed wherfor the Law was our Scholemaister for we are all the sonnes of God by fayth in Christ Iesus For allyee that are baptised into Christ haue put on Christ. Galla. 3. And S. Paule in the. 10. to the Romans speaking of the Israelites fayth saith They being ignorant of the righteousnes of God and going about to establish their owne righteousnes haue not submitted them selues to the righteousnes of God For saith he Christ is the ende of the Law for righteousnes vnto euery one that beleeueth And sayth further If thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus and shalt beleeue in thine hart that God raysed him vp from the death thou shalt be saued For with the hart man beleeueth vnto righteousnes and with the mouth man confesseth vnto saluation Therefore was it that one being desirous to obtayne saluation asked of the Apostles What must I do that I may be saued Who answered Beleeue in the Lord Iesus Christ and thou shalt be saued and thine houshold Act. 16. This is that Hearbe the vertue wherof our sauiour Christ sheweth saying Whosoeuer beleeued in him should not perish but haue eternall lyfe Iohn 3. Holy Iob in his affliction feeling the strength and vertue of this Hearbe did flie vnto Iesus saying I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare But now mine eye seeth thee Iob. 42. The woman of Samaria through the sweete sauour of this Hearbe desired him to giue her of that water that she might not thirst neither come to the Well to draw Iohn 4. The operation and strength of this hearbe enforced the woman that was a sinner to stand at the feete of Iesus behinde him weepeing and began to wash his feete with her teares and did wipe them with the heares of her head and kissed his feete and annoynted them with oyntment Luk. 7. So also an other woman lifted vp her voice and sayd vnto him Blessed is the wombe that bare thee and the pappes which thou hast sucked Luk. 11. And certaine men that were in the Shippe came to him and worshypped him saying Of a trueth thou art the Sonne of God Math. 14. This caused Symon Peter to say Thou art the Christ the sonne of the lyuing God Mat. 16. The Centurion by the scent of this hearbe was prouoked to sende vnto Iesus beseeching him that he would come and heale his seruant being sicke And Iesus comming being not faire from the house the Centuryon sent his friendes to him saying Lord trouble not thy selfe for I am not worthy that thou shouldest come vnder my roufe But say the worde and my seruant shalbe whole Luk. 7. Math. 8. This also caused a woman hauing a boxe of oyntment of Spicknard very costly to breke the box to power it vpon his head Mark 14. And an other woman who was troubled with a bloody Issue twelue yeeres to say in her selfe If I may touch but his garment only I shalbe whole Math. 9. The Theife through this Fayth sayd vnto Iesus Lord remember me when thou cōmest into thy kingdome Luk. 23. Therfore as the Passion of Christ serueth to none but such as do beleeue so neyther doth Fayth as it is only a bare qualitie or action in mans minde it selfe iustefie vnles it be directed to the body of Christ crucified as to her obiect of whom she receaueth all her vertue And therefore these two must alwayes ioyntly concurre and holde togeather Fayth Christ Iesus crucified This Treatise following gentle Reader teacheth the vse nature and vertue of Fayth in such abundant and excellent manner as it were all one for me to cast a drop of water into the Sea as to take vpon me to enlarge any matter therevpon And yf I should or could I can but reiterate or repeate that which already hath been set downe For the Booke doth so set foorth it selfe as in my poore vnderstanding needeth lytle helpe sauing that some few wordes that were wrong placed I haue amended some others I haue added for the better explanation of the Authour And I haue els folowed the former Coppie with a briefe collection or exposition of a summe of S. Paules doctrine deliuered vpon the same set foorth before but lying hid as it were in a great volume which I haue also thought meete very necessary were put into a smaller volume to the intent to be caried about with vs as a flower or hearbe in our bosome for our oftener remembraunce instruction This Hearbe being once knowen it is sayd by the Authour you haue the pith of al Diuinitie written and set foorth by that learned godly and zelous Martire M. Patericke Hamelton being a Scottishman borne and of the kings blood who as is set foorth in the booke of Martyrs taught and earnestly preached the trueth to the people
can not comfort them selues nor others 4 They keepe mens soules in an vncertayne doubt and dubitation of their saluation 5 They obscure the lyght of Gods grace 6 They are vnkinde to Gods benefites 7 They are iniurious to Christes passion and enemies to his Crosse. 8 They stoppe christian libertie 9 They bereaue the Church the Spouse of Christ of her due comfort as taking away the Sonne out of the worlde 10 In all their doings they shoote to a wrong marke For where Christ onely is set vp to be apprehended by our Fayth and so freely to iustifie vs they leauing this iustification by Fayth set vp other markes partly of the Law partly of their owne deuising for men to shoote at And heere commeth in the manifest and manyfolde absurdities of the B. of Romes doctrine which as in a catalogue here foloweth Errours and absurdities of the Papistes touching the doctrine of the Law and of the Gospel 1 THey erroniously conceaue opinion of saluation in the Law which onely is to be sought in the fayth of Christ and in no other 2 They erroniously do seeke Gods fauour by workes of the Law not knowing that the Law in this our corrupt nature worketh onely the anger of God Rom. 3. 3 They erre also in this That where the office of the Law is diuers and contrary to the Gospel they without any difference confounde the one with the other making the Gospel to be a Law and Christ to be a Moses 4 They erre in deuiding the Law vnskilfully into three partes into the law Naturall the law Morrall and the law Euangelicall 5 They erre againe in deuiding the Law euangelicall into precepts Counsels making the precepts to serue for all men the Counsels only to serue for them that be perfect 6 The chiefe substaunce of all their teaching and preaching resteth vpon the workes of the law as may appeare by their Religion which wholly consisteth in mens merites traditions lawes Canons decrees and ceremonies 7 In the doctrine of saluation of remission and iustification eyther they admixt the Law equall with the Gospel or els cleane secluding the Gospel they teach and preach the Law so that litle mention is made of the fayth of Christ or none at all 8 They erre in thinking that the Law of God requireth nothing in vs vnder payne of damnation but onely our obedience in externe actions as for the in warde affections and concupisence they esteeme but light matters 9 They not knowing the true nature and strength of the Law do erroniously imagine that it is in mans power to fulfill it 10 They erre in thinking not onely to be in mans power to keepe the Law of God but also to performe more perfect workes then be in Gods Law commaunded And these they call the workes of perfection and hereof rise the workes of Supererogation of Satisfaction of Congruitie and Condignitie to store vp the treasure hoâ—se of the Popes Church by Indulgences to be sold â—at to the people for money 11 They erre in saying that the state monasticall is more perfect for keeping the counselles of the Gospel then other states be in keeping the Law of the Gospel 12 The counsels of the Gospel they call the vowes of their religious men as profounde Humilitie perfect Chastitie and wilfull Pouertie 13 They erre abhominably in equalling their lawes and constitutions with Gods law and in saying that mans law bindeth vnder payne of damnation no lesse then Gods law 14 They erre simply in punishing the transgressors of their lawes more sharpely then the transgressors of the law of God as appeareth by their Inquisitions and their Cannon law c. 15 Finally they erre most horribly in this That where the free promise of God ascribeth our saluation only to our Fayth in Christ excluding workes They contrarily ascribe saluation onely or principally to workes and merites excluding Fayth Whereupon riseth the application of the sacrifice of the Masse Ex opere operato for the quicke and the dead application of the merites of Christes passion in Bulles application of the merites of all religious orders such other moe specified more at large c. Here foloweth three Cautions to be obserued and auoyded in the true vnderstanding of the Law FIrst that we through the misunderstanding of the Scriptures do not take the Law for the Gospel nor the Gospel for the Law but skilfully discerne distinct the voyce of the one from the other Many there be which reading the booke of the new Testament doe take and vnderstande whatsoeuer they see contayned in the sayd booke to be onely and meerely the voyce of the Gospel And contrariwise whatsoeuer is contayned in the compasse of the old Testament that is within the Law Stories Psalmes Prophets to be only and meerely the worde and voyce of the Law wherein many are deceaued For the preaching of the Law and of the Gospel are mixed togeather in both the Testamentes as well the olde as the new Neither is the order of these two doctrines to be distincted by Bookes and leaues but by the diuersitie of Gods spirite speaking vnto vs. For sometimes in the olde Testament God doth comfort as he comforted Adam with the voyce of the Gospel Sometimes also in the new Testament he doth threaten and terrifie as when Christ threatned the Pharises In some places againe Moses and the Prophets play the Euangelistes in so much that Ierome doubteth whether he shoulde call Esay a Prophet or an Euangelist In some places likewise Christ and the Apostles supply the part of Moses And as Christ him selfe vntill his death was vnder the Law which Law he came not to breake but to fulfill So his Sermons made to the Iewes for the most part runne all vpon the perfect doctrine and workes of the Law Shewing and teaching what we ought to do by the right law of Iustice and what danger insueth in not performing the same All which places though they be contayned in the booke of the new Testament yet are they to be referred to the doctrine of the Law euer hauing in them included a priuie exception of repentance and fayth in Christ Iesus as in example where Christ thus preached Blessed be they that be pure of hart for they shall see God c. Math. 5. Except ye be made lyke these children ye shall not enter c. Math. 18. But he that doth the will of my Father shall enter into the kingdome of heauen c. Math. 7. The parable of the vnkind Seruant iustly cast into prison for not forgiuing his felow c. Math. 18. The casting of the rich glutton into hel c. Luk. 16. He that denieth me here before men I will deny him before my father c. Luke 12. with such other places of like condition All these I say pertayning to the doctrine of the law
reconciled Rom. 5. Who hath destroyed death and brought lyfe to light 1. Tim. 1. Who by death hath destroyed him which had the power of death that is the Deuill And hath deliuered them which liued vnder feare of death all their lyfe in bondage Heb. 2. By whose obedience we are made iust By whose righteousnes we are iustified to lyfe Rom. 5. By whose curse we are made blessed and deliuered from the maladiction of the Law Galla. 3. with many other such like c. Wherefore whosoeuer studieth to be accepted with God and to be founde righteous in his sight let him learne diligently by the doctrine of Sainct Paule to make a difference a seperation as farre as from heauen to the earth betweene these two that is betweene the righteousnes of workes and righteousnes of Fayth And in any case beware he bring no other meanes for his iustification or remission of his sinnes but onely Fayth apprehending the body or person of Christ Iesus crucified For as there is no way into the house but by the doore so is there no comming to God but by Christ alone which is by Fayth And as the mortell body without bodely sustenance of bread and drinke can not but perish so the spirituall soule of man hath no other refreshing but onely by Fayth in the body and blood of Christ whereby to be saued With this Fayth the idolatrous Gentiles apprehended Iesus Christ and receiued thereby righteousnes Cornelius the first baptised Roman so soone as he heard Peter preach Christ receaued straight way the holy Ghost Peter him selfe confessed and for his confession had the keyes of heauen Math. 16. Zacheus receaued the person of Christ into his house and withal receaued saluation both to him and his whole householde Luk. 19. What a sinner was Marie which had no lesse in her then seauen Deuils and yet because she set her hart and affection vpon that person many sinnes were forgeuen her Luk. 7. The righthand Thiefe how farre was he from all workes of the Law And yet by Fayth entred he iustefied into Paradice the same day with Christ. Luk. 23. In lyke maner although the poore Publican came to the Church with lesse holinesse after the Law yet went he home to his house more iustified then the Pharise with all his workes and all by reason of Fayth Luk. 18. The parable of the Prodigall Sonne which was lost yet reuiued agayne Also of the lost Groate and of the lost Sheepe which went astray and was founde againe What do these declare but that which is lost by the Law to be recouered by Fayth and Grace And how oft do we reade in the Gospel Thy Fayth hath saued thec c Iesus seeing their beliefe c. He that beleeueth in mee I will rayse him vp in the last day c. Beleeue also in mee c. He that beleeueth in mee hath euerlasting lyfe c. Without me ye can do nothing c. He that is in me c. He that loueth me c. He that heareth me c. He that abydeth in me c. He that receaueth me c. Vnlesse ye eate my flesh drinke my blood c. That they may receaue remission of their sinnes by their fayth in me c. Act. 26. To him all the Prophets giue witnes that whosoeuer beleeueth in him should haue remission of sinnes in his name c. Act. 10. He that beleeueth and is baptised Math. vlt. He that beleeueth in mee shall do the workes that I doe and greater then these c. And likewise in the writinges of S. Paule how often do we heare the name of Christ almost in euery third or fourth line where he still repeateth In Christo Iesu per Christum Iesum per Iesum Christum dominū nostrum c. Qui credunt in ipso c. Omnes qui credunt in eo c. Credentes illo in eum credentes illi in nomen eius In nomine Domini nostri Iesu Christi c. Beleeue sayth S. Paule to the Iaylor in the Lord Iesus and thou shalt be saued and thy whole house c. Act. 16. Thus then thou seest as the Passion of Christ is only the efficient or personall cause immediate of our saluation so is Fayth onely the instrumentall or meane cause that maketh the merites of Christ to vs auayleable For as the Passion of Christ serueth to none but such as do beleeue so neither doth Fayth as it is only a bare qualitie or action in mans minde it selfe iustifie vnlesse it be directed to the body of Christ crucified as to his obiect of whom it receaueth all his vertue And therefore these two must alwayes ioyntly concurre togeather Fayth and Christ Iesus crucified As for example When the Children of Israel were bid of Moses to looke vp to the Brasen Serpent neither coulde the Serpent haue helped them except they had looked vp nor yet their looking vpward haue profited them vnlesse they had directed their eyes vpon the sayd Serpent as the onely obiect set vp to the same purpose for them to beholde So our Fayth in lyke case directed to the body of Iesus our Sauiour is onely the meanes whereby Christes merites are applyed vnto vs and we now iustified before God according to the doctrine of S. Paule who in expresse wordes defining to vs what this Fayth is and how it iustifieth sayth If thou shalt confesse with thy mouth the Lord Iesus and beleeue with thy hart that God raised him from death thou shalt be saued c. Rom. 10. Besides this what action or qualitie soeuer is in man either Hope Charitie or any other kinde of Fayth and beleeuing be it neuer so true except it apprehende this obiect which is the body of Christ the Sonne of God it serueth not to iustification And that is the cause why we adde this particle onely to Fayth and say That Fayth onely in Christ iustifyeth vs to exclude all other actions qualities gyftes or workes of man from the cause of iustifying forsomuch as there is no other knowledge nor gyft geuen of God to man be it neuer so excellent that can stande before the iudgement of God to iustifycation or whereunto any promyse of saluation is annexed but onely this Fayth looking vp to the brasen Serpent that is to the body of Christ Iesus for vs crucifyed As for example When the Turke sayth That he beleeueth in one lyuing God that made heauen earth his beliefe therein is true yet it iustifieth him not because it lacketh the right obiect which is Christ. So when the Iew sayth That he beleeueth in one God maker of heauen and earth and beleeueth also the same God to be omnipotent mercifull iust and true of promyse and that he hath elected the seede of Abraham True it is that he beleeueth and yet
all this serueth him not because Christ the sonne of God is not ioyned withall And though the sayd Iew should be neuer so deuout in his prayers or charitable in almes or precise in keeping the Law and beleeued neuer so steadfastly that he is elect to be saued yet he is neuer the nearer to saluation for all this so long as his Fayth is not grounded vppon the head corner stone which is the person and body of Christ Iesus the true Sauiour After like sort it may be sayd of the Papict when he sayth That he is baptised and beleueth in the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost three persons and one God And also confesseth Iesus Christ to be the Sonne of God which dyed for our sinnes rose agayne for our righteousnes c. His beliefe therein is true and in deede woulde saue him yf he did stay his saluation in his Fayth and vpon Christ his Sauiour onely according to the promyse and grace of God and goe no further But that he doth not For neyther doth he admit Christ onely to be his perfect Sauiour without the helpe of other Patrons Heades Aduocates and Mediatours nor yet permitteth his Fayth in Christ onely to be the meanes of his iustifycation but setteth vp other by meanes as Hope Charitie sacrifice of the Masse Coufession Pennance Satisfaction Merites and Pardons supposing therby to worke his iustification before God contrary to the worde of promise to the Gospel of grace and to the doctrine of S. Paule Also Sainct Paule in the. 9. to the Romans wryting of this righteousnesse which commeth of Fayth calleth it the righteousnesse of God in these wordes Whom God sayth he hath set vp for a propitiation by Fayth in his blood whereby to make manifest the righteousnes which is of him selfe in tollerating our sinnes c. Rom. 3. By the which righteousnes it is euident that Sainct Paule meaneth the righteousnes of Fayth which almightie God now reuealeth and maketh manifest by preaching of the Gospel Wilt thou see yet more playnely this righteousnes of God how it is taken in S. Paule for the righteousnes of Fayth and therfore is called the righteousnes of God because it is imputed of God onely to Fayth and not deserued of man In the same Epistle to the Romans and in the. 3. chapt aforesaid his wordes be manifest The righteousns of God sayth he is by fayth of Iesus Christ in all and vpon all that do beleeue c. And thus much of the true causes of our iustificatino after the doctrine of Sainct Paule concernyng which causes this distinction furthermore by the way is to be added that as touching the originall causes of our saluation which be diuers and sundry some are externall and without vs some are internall and within vs. Of the externall causes which are without vs the fyrst and principall is the Mercie and grace of God Of this foloweth Predestination and Election then commeth Uocation The last and next cause to vs is the Death and Bloodshed of Christ whereby we are redeemed and all these be externall causes because they are without vs. Of internall causes that be in man through the gyft of God there is but one and no moe in Scripture appoynted That is our Fayth in Christ which is the gyft of God in vs. Besides this there is no gyft of God geuen to man no vertue worke merite nor any thing els that is any part or cause of our saluation but onely this gyft of Fayth to beleeue in Christ Iesus And this is the cause why we holde that Fayth onely iustifyeth meanyng that amongst all the workes deedes actions labours and opperations whatsoeuer man doth or can doe there is nothing in man that worketh saluation but onely his Fayth geuen to him of God to beleeue in Christ his sonne folowing therein the trade of Sainct Paules teaching who in precise wordes so ascribeth iustification to Fayth that he excludeth all other actions of man and workes of the Law And therefore in the fame Epistle to the Romans Sainct Paule reasonyng of the glory of Iustifying asketh this question How this glory is excluded whether by the Law or workes and concludeth no ascribing only the glory thereof to the law of Fayth And consequently vpon the same he inferreth We holde that a man is iustified by Fayth without the deedes of the Law And how then can that be accompted for any part of our iustifycation which Sainct Paule vtterly debarreth and excludeth in that behalfe Of which like exclusiues and negatiues the whole course of Sainct Paules doctrine is full where he still concludeth Sine operibus absque operibus legis non ex operibus dei donum est non ex operibus sed secundum miserecordiam ne quis glorietur Ephe. 2. Non ex operibus Iusticiae que ferimus nos sed secundum propositum suum et gratiam c. Tit. 3. Non secundum opera nostra c. Tim. 2. That is to say It is the gyft of God not of workes that no man should glory c. Not of the workes of righteousnes which we haue done but of his owne mercie c. Not after our workes but after his owne promyse and grace which is geuen to vs. c. Agayne Galla. 2. Non iustificatur homo ex operibus c. That is A man is not iustified by workes c. Item ei qui non operatur credenti autem in eum qui iustificat impium fides imputatur ad iustitiam c. Rom. 4. To him that worketh not but beleeueth in him which iustifieth the wicked his fayth is imputed to righteousnes c. By these exclusiues and negatiues in Sainct Paules doctrine what doth he els meane but vtterly to seclude all kinde of mans merites and workes of the Law from the office and dignitie of iustifying And although he expresseth not the worde onely yet vpon his exclusiues and negatiues this exceptiue must needes be inferred For in all logique the consequent is necessarie and formall as one man is suffered to come into the house and no person els is suffered to enter but one Ergo one man only is suffered to enter into the house And thus much concerning Fayth in Christ proued to be the onely meane or instrumentall or conditionall cause of our Saluation no other besides the same alone by the doctrine of S. Paule taught to the ancient Romans Sainct Paule after he hath thus established vs in certaintie of our Saluation through Fayth in Christ exhorteth vs vehemently and with all instance to good workes shewing the true vse and ende of good workes which is First to shew our obedience and duetifull seruice as we may vnto God who hath done so great thinges for vs. Secondly to relieue our neighbours with our charitie and kindnes as God hath been kinde to vs his enemies Thirdly to stirre vp others
Peace sayth he be to thee brother and kissed him and both were beheaded togeather Andrew the Apostle ANdrew the Apostle of our Lord and sauiour Christ and brother to Peter being â—onuersant in a Citie of Achaia called Patris through his diligent preaching had brought many to the Fayth of Christ. Egeas the Gouernour knowing this resorted thyther to the intent he might constrayne as many as did beleeue Christ to be God by the whole consent of the Senate to do sacrifice vnto the Idols and so giue deuine honoure to them Andrew thinking good at the beginning to resist the wicked counsayle and doinges of Egeas went vnto him saying in this effect That it behoued him that was Iudge of men first to know his Iudge which dwelleth in Heauen and then to worshyp him being knowen and so in worshypping the true God to reuoke his minde from false Gods and blinde Idols But the Preconsull esteeming these thinges to be as vayne especially seeing the Iewes as he sayd had crucified Christ before therefore charged and commaunded Andrew not to teach and preach such things any more or if he did that he should be fastoned to the Crosse with all speede Andrew abyding in his former mynde very constant answered concerning the punishment which he threatned He would not haue preached the honour and glory of the Crosse if he had feared the death of the Crosse. Wherevpon sentence of condempnation was pronounced that Andrew teaching and enterprising a new sect and taking away the religion of their goddes ought to be crucified Andrew comming to the place and seeing a farer off the Crosse prepared did change neither â—ullor nor countenance but out of the abundance of his hart did speake and sayd O Crosse most welcome and long looked for with a willing mynde ioyfully and desirously I come to thee being Scholler of him which did hang on thee because I haue been alwayes thy louer and haue coueted to imbrace thee So being crucified he yeelded vp the Ghost Thomas the Apostle THomas the Apostle of our sauiour Iesus Christ preached to the Parthians Meds and Persians Also to the Germanes Hiraconis Bactris and Magis He suffered in Calamina a citie of Indea being slayne with a Dart. Bartholomew the Apostle BArtholomew the Apostle of our Lord and Sauiour Christ preached to the Indians and conuerted the Gospel written by S. Mathew into their tongue where he continued a great space doing many myracles At last in Albania a Citie of greater Armenia after diuers persecutions he was beaten downe with staues then crucified and after being exâ—oriate he was also beheaded Matthias the Apostle MAtthias the Apostle of our Sauiour Christ after he had preached to the Iewes at length he was stoned and beheaded Some do recorde that he dyed in Ethiopia Philip the Apostle PHilip the Apostle of our Sauiour Christ after he had much laboured among the barbarous nations in preaching the worde of saluation to them At last he suffered in Hirapolis a citie of Phrigia being there stoned to death crucified where also he was buried and his daughters also with him Iudas called Thaddeus the Apostle IVdas called Thaddeus the Apostle of our Lord and Sauiour Christ brother of Iames preached to the Edessens and to all Messopotamia He was afterwardes slayne vnder Angarus king of the Edessens in Berito Symon called Zelous the Apostle SYmon called zelous the Apostle of our Sauiour Christ preached at Maritanâ—a and in the countrie of Affricke and in Britania He was likewise crucified FINIS Imprinted at London by William White 1598.
