Morton cap. 3. sect 9. of the Grand Imposture hath obserued out of famous Papists Cardinall Baronius and the Iesuite Suarez From the yeare of the Lord 179. there were Arch-bishops Bishops in the Church of England and Wales so Lelandus and they haue successiuely continued to this day In their first consecration till 600 years after Christ they were Primitiue Bishops From 600 years till 1533 they were Popish corrupt sicke with heresy almost to the death From 1533 they haue 5 years excepted continued good because reformed Bishops Here note that our Church did not beginne a little after Luther but being sicke with Popery she theÌ„ recouered her Apostolicall faith Like as a sick man recouering then enters not into the World to beginne his life but into the recouery of his former health so Popery and Puritanisme being purged out of these parts of the Catholique Church 't was not then a new planted but a new reformed Church All things Here is vnderstood Ecclesiasticall discipline The King doth gouerne by Christs regall power and command The Bishop doth gouerne by the key of knowledge and by the key of iurisdiction The Bishop doth gouerne in the Church by the key of knowledge in that he giues authority by ordaination mission to able and fit men for to preach to pray c. in the Church By the key of iurisdiction the Bishop doth gouerne in the Consistory by examining and censuring with the helpe of his Iudge-assistant To know all Church-discipline I referre you to the Rubricke in the Common-praier-booke to the Canons of the Church c. This part of my text is All things and therefore I must not omit the rites ceremonies of the Church for they are vnderstood in these All things The rites and ceremonies of the Church which were tipicall in the Iewes time did signifie Christ to come and therefore at Christs comming they were abrogated Quia veritas venit signum tollitur so S. Augustine Because Christ is come into the flesh there is no vse of a signe to signifie that Christ is to come But in our church the ceremonies are not typicall but they are signes of church-beauty for morall ornament And that to beautify gesture in acknowledging the Lord Iesus to be King of heauen and earth of the triumphant militant Church hence it is that in Church-assemblies we bow at the name of Iesus or to beautify gesture at praier when we pray The body and blood of our Lord Iesus Christ preserue soule and body to euerlasting life c. hence it is that we humbly and reuerently kneele on our knees at receiuing the Lords supper Or in token that we will not be ashamed to confes the faith of Christ crucified manfully to fight vnder his banner c. hence it is that little Children baptized after the forme of baptisme are signed with the signe of the crosse or to signify the sincerity of the Ministers vnspotted faith hence it is that our Church-priests doe weare the surplesse at performing holy worship to God or to signify the vndeuided loue of husband and wife till death them depart hence it is that in marriage the ring is giuen for a token and pledge or to signify a thankfull remembrance vnto God for giueing vs Christian examples and encouragements to perseuere in the true Apostolicall faith in that God gaue vs his Sonne his one and only Sonne to be our Mediatour and the Blessed Virgin to bee his Mother according to his humanity the holy Apostles to preach Christ Iesus the Saviour to the ends of the world for giving vs many and miraculous deliverances from great and apparent dangers hence it is that Holy-dayes were ordain'd and are kept The nativitie of

in order THE 19. of the 39. Articles of Religion affirmes that the Church may erre that the Church hath erred The reason why the erring Church is become the lost sheep is because shee submits not vnto the onely true rule of faith which is Gods faithfull word The 20. Article saith that the church cannot erre that t is no erring church but a true church not a church voide of authority but a church having authority to decree Rites and Ceremonies to handle iudge and decide the hard subtile and deceiving controversies of faith For this well tempered and well governed church obserues Gods not deceaving nor deceaved word to be her principium fidei her principle of faith to be faithfully beleeved to be her true signifying Rule to be taught learned and kept Whatsoeuer is contrary to this heavenly voice she hates being all diabolicall lies whatsoever exposition doth make scripture to be contrary to scripture she examines confutes reformes by the true rules of exposition Whatsoever is besides scripture shee reiects for mans inveution for humane tradition for superfluous vnnecessarie Herein the church is a faithfull keeper and a faithfull witnesse of holy writ And let the church let this church persevere a faithfull witnesse and a faithfull keeper of Gods most true and most holy word to preserue her authority in rites and ceremonies in resolving Faiths factious controversies to expound the scripture learnedly according to rule in summo gradu necessitatis in the propriety of truth and to reiect mans flattering additions prudently according to Gods all-sufficient precept This is the summe of S. Pauls spirituall councell to advise and instruct the church Let all things be done decently and in order Which words are the substance of the 20. of the 39. Articles of religion they containe fowre parts The first is Commande Authorizing Let. The second is how many things are Authorized All things The third is the obeying of this commaunding Authority Be done The fourth is the manner of obeying this command This is Decently and in order In the commande Authorizing obserue Who and what Commands who commands This is first God the Holy Ghost secondly S. Paul What commands This is Gods will this is Gods word Let.

Paules doctrine and discipline may edifie I shall edifie And let noe temporizing faction act the dissembling Hypocrite and say that my doctrine is not true but rayling for I am come to you with the doctrine of our receaued and established faith And let no trembling Neuter plead that my words are too deepe mysteries to be vnderstood No but let him striue to know his Faith how it differs from heresie that he may be truely faithfull in the pure and vndefiled Religion My text doth not stay to request but requires my text doth not intreate and pray but doth will and commaund you to be faithfully religious and that in a word and that in the first word of my text Let. This word is commaund though t is but a signe yet by it commaund is vnderstood and vnderstood to speake not by prohibition to make any stopp or stay but with commaund to make hast and not to fayle at your perill This Let is the actiue part of Gods commaund in the first place of S. Paule in the second place in person commaunding thirdly of the scripture which is S. Paules commaund which is Gods souereigne and vncontrouleable commaund You know the almighty power of Gods commaund that by it he made nothing to be all things For he spake and it was done he commaunded and it stood fast And shall he now speake and shall nothing be done Shall he now commaund and shall nothing stand fast Gods word is sharper then any two edged sword and 't is as possible to resist Gods word and liue eternally as 't is to resist a sword dividing the heart and after that to enioy this temporall life At the giving of the law Gods voyce was so terrible that the people that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more for feare of death Heb. 12. 19. For Gods voyce did then shake the earth and it shall once more shake both heaven and earth Heb. 12. 26. Here is maiestie and power and Gods will must be done for he commaunds to the terrifying of heaven and earth Gods word is not a bare sound but his word is a conuerting word and if the conuerted will not stand in grace God hauing giuen the will and the deede what doe they that resist but neglect great saluation But see that yee refuse not him that speaketh For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth much more shall not we escape if we turne away from him that speaketh from heauen Heb. 12. 25. It concernes you then very much to heare Gods commaund S. Paule Gods deputed commaunder tells you that it concernes your saluation and loose this loose all the world But what 's the matter that mens hearts are so litle knowne to a commaunding God Who hath bewitched them that they will not obey truth T' is true that there must be Heresies for lying and dissembling tongues doe deceaue seduce and vnder a colour of a little godlines bring Church and Common wealth into confusion and destruction of soule and body And is it not then high time to exhort you with S. Paule Beware of dogs beware of evill workers Philip. 3. 2. Beware of them that barke at the Articles of religion Beware of theÌ„ that bite at the gouernment of the Church Beware of fiery zeale set on fire by a factious spirit Beware of despisers of Gouernours of inuentors of evill things Beware of the disobedient For they hate the doctrine and discipline the rites and ceremonies of the Church which is my second part of text implyed in these words All Things By all things are not vnderstood all things of this world for they are enmitie against God But by All thinges are vnderstood all things which God commands to build and beautifie the Church which God commands to gouerne preserue the Church So that these All things are all Ecclesiasticall things all things that belong to
