A10911	The summe of Christianitie reduced vnto eight propositions, briefly and plainly confirmed out of the holy worde of God.	Rogers, John, fl. 1560-1580.	1578 (1578)	STC 21183; ESTC S112989	19,396	49

proposition Rom. 7. 14. The Law is spirituall but we are carnall euen solde to bee subiect vnto sinne Gal. 5. 17. The flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh c. TRue it is that we are not able of our selues so much as to thinke anie good thought much lesse to perfourme anie part of that righteousnesse which the Law requireth But this is our comfort that we are not now vnder the Law but vnder grace although the Scripture saith not in vaine that the Spirit which is in vs lusteth after enuie yet it offereth greater grace because it saith God resisteth the proud but giueth grace vnto the humble This grace woorketh first that we knowe the will of God and discerne that which is contrary thervnto Secondly that we haue a will desirous and studious of Gods glorie and profit of our brethren in the accomplishing of his commaundementes Thirdly also some power through the spirit to hate and forsake that which is euill and to loue and follow that which is good that our faith may become fruitfull our loue laborious and our hope pacient through that communion which we haue with Christ in the power of his death and of his rising againe For if we be truely come vnto Christ and coupled with him the old husband of our corruption by whome wee brought foorth fruit vnto death is crucified with Christ in his crosse that wee might be espoused vnto an other euen the newe man which is raised vp from the dead to bring foorth fruite vnto god Neither haue we now onely a commaundement vnto righteousnes and holinesse of life but there is giuen vs a newe spirit by which we are regenerated and renued in the spirit of our mindes to offer vp our selues in soule and bodie an holy acceptable liuely sacrifice vnto god And wheras the flesh euermore rebelleth against the spirit euen in the children of God we haue receiued promises of ayde assistance in this conflict yea of victorie and triumph ouer all our enemies And that we might with boldenes come vnto our God for ayde and defence wee haue entrance by Christ euen vnto his mercie seate and haue receiued that spirit which in this part helpeth our infirmitie and stirreth vp in vs those groninges which no tongue is able to expresse teaching vs to crie Abba father and to call vpon him in all our necessities and to aske all good thinges at his handes who hath made vs promises both of this life and of the life to come knowing this that he that hath not spared to giue vnto vs his onely begotten Sonne will also with him giue vs all things which in his wisedome he seeth to be needefull for vs Our helpe therefore is in the name of the Lorde Which is as an inuincible towre wherevnto the righteous fleeth is deliuered Also we know who it is that hath said aske and ye shall receiue seeke ye shall finde knocke and it shall be opened vnto you euen he which sitteth at the right hand of his father and maketh intercession for vs When wee pray wee must pray onely vnto God onely in the name of Jesus Christ onely for good thinges onely to a good ende with our heartes and not onely with lippes disposing our selues reuerently and religiously as in the presence of Gods maiestie touched with the want of that we aske and grieued with the burthen and feare of that we pray against being assured that the Lord heareth our praiers wil in his own good appointed time graunt our requestes as in his wisedome he knoweth to be expedient for his owne glorie and for our saluation There are many notable examples of this manner of praying in the holy scriptures especially in the booke of the Psalmes framed according to the diuers estates and affections of the Seruauntes of god Let vs therefore after their example examining our selues before the Lord in minde body and outwarde conditions of this life according to our present feeling sence thereof make our humble and vnfeined supplications in his presence for our selues and for all men especially them that are of the housholde of faith concluding sealing vp all our prayers with that forme of peticion which our sauiour Christ him self hath taught Our father which art in Heauen hallowed be thy name thy kingdome come thy will be done in earth as it is in heauen giue vs this day our dayly bread and forgiue vs our trespasses as we forgiue theÌ„ that trespasse against vs and leade vs not into temptation but deliuer vs from euell for thine is the kingdome the power and the glory for euer and euer Amen The eight proposition What other helpes there are vnto godlines and weldoing commended vnto vs in the woorde THe Lorde our GOD knowing the frailtie of our corrupt and cursed nature the deceitfulnesse of sinne the power rage and subtilties of Satan hath in wisedome and mercie for their further helpe appointed in his woord two kindes of discipline vnto his seruantes The one priuate the other publique vnto the first appertaineth all the exercises of repentance and godlines commended vnto vs either in precept or example of the holy scriptures As our daily consulting with the worde and lawes of God which to be vnto vs as they were vnto Dauid the men of our counsell the continuall examining of our waies turning our feete vnto the Lordes testimonyes our carefull and diligent hasting and not delaying to keepe his commaundements The grieuing of our selues with our sins past the feare of sinne present which is readie to intrapp vs the wise circumspect preuenting of sinne to come the subduing of the flesh and bring it in subiection after the maner of the Apostle with reuenge taken vpon our corruption for the mortifying of the same by withdrawing the baites prouocations and occasions of euill sobrietie and the pure and chast vse of all the good blessings of God abstenence euen from lawful pleasures and profites when they are either offensiue vnto others or hurtfull vnto our selues as otherwise so by bringing vs vnder the bondage seruitud of earthly things which all of them are ordained vnto corruption Fasting which the Scripture calleth the afflicting of the soule ioyned with continuall and earnest prayer vnto God. Making couenant with our mouths that they shall not speake euil and with our eyes that they shall not beholde vanitie imitating the vertues and godlines of the faithfull vsing holie company and conference with them Hating detesting and abhorring the wayes of the wicked shunning and eschewing all consulting and conuersation with them Not ceasing our conflict against sinne euen vntill blood but casting of the olde man and mortifying the woorkes of the flesh by the spirit to put on the newe man with the woorkes and armour of light to serue the Lord according to his

and Messiah in Hebrue signifieth anointed giuing vs to vnderstand that this is he whom the father hath chosen sealed and anointed with his spirit to be our Prophet Priest King and is made vnto vs from God wisedome righteousnesse sanctification redemptioÌ„ that no flesh might glory before his Maiestie but that whosoeuer glorieth might glorie in the lord Christ the eternall wisdome of his Father from the beginning was the onely Pastor and teacher of his Church reuealing by his spirit vnto the holy Fathers and Prophets the doctrine of saluation But in the fulnesse of time taking vpon him our nature he came into the world our wisdome from God in his owne person out of the bosome of his father declaring vnto vs all the councels of God concerning our redemptioÌ„ and that in greater measure and clearenes of vnderstanding then euer before from the beginning Further as he is the chiefe pastour and shephearde of the flocke so is it he in whom all the promises of God are yea and Amen Who is also al and in all of whom we haue receiued commaundement from heauen that we shoulde heare him He is therefore both the teacher and the thing that is taught He is made our righteousnesse first in that he hath fully satisfied the iustice of GOD borne the stripes of our correction and the chastisement of our peace taking vpon him the curse of the lawe due vnto vs for our sinnes and by bearing and ouercomming the same hath deliuered vs from the power of sinne Satan hell and the wrath of GOD and made an euerlasting attonement vppon the altar of his Crosse offering vp himselfe an oblation and sacrifice of moste sweete sauour vnto the lord Secondly in that he hath accomplished all the righteousnesse of the law that we in his obedience hauing the same imputed vnto vs might be iustified before God and obtaine the blessing of the lawe which is eternall life He is made our holines or sanctification because in him is found the lawe of the spirite of life which deliuereth vs from the law of sinne and of death For it is he onely that hath condemned sinne in the fleshe that is to say hath perfectly purged cleared our nature of sinne in his owne person by ioyning it vnseparably vnto his deietie that wee beyng clothed with his most pure and vnspotted humanitie might in all respectes appeare acceptable and well pleasing in the sighte of the Lorde He is made our redemption not nowe to offer vp anie newe sacrifice for sinne which hee hath already done once for al But that hauing all power geuen to him both ouer thinges in heauen and thinges in earth he mighte rule and gouerne his Churche by his worde and by his spirit guyding and defending the same in the Pilgrimage and warfarre of this life vntill the day of our adoption shall appeare euen the deliuerance of our bodies what time he shall returne our redeemer from heanen and shall change our vile bodies that they may be made like vnto his glorious bodie according vnto that power whereby he is able to subdue all thinges vnto himselfe In the meane time sitting at the right hand of GOD our aduocate and intercessour with the father not only to make intercession for vs but also to presente vnto the Lorde our selues our soules and bodies and all that wee haue and do our prayers and obedience an holie and acceptable Sacrifice vnto his Maiestie The thirde proposition Saluation by Christ appertaineth only vnto them that beleeue in him HE that beleeueth in the sonne is not condemned but hath eternall life and he that beleueth not the sonne is alredy condemned neither shall he see life but the wrath of GOD remayneth vppon him because hee hath not beleeued in the name the onely begotteÌ„ sonne of god Faith therfore is the only meanes wherby we possesse Jesus Christ and in him althe mercies of God vnto our saluation For by faith Christ dwelleth in our harts that beyng rooted and grounded in the loue of God wee might bee able to comprehend with all Saintes what is that breadth length and depth and height and to knowe that loue of Christ which passeth all knowledge and to bee filled with all that fulnes of god Faith is that testimonie of our consciences wherby we are assured from the witnesse of the Spirite of God that all our sinnes are pardoned and forgeuen vnto vs in the merite of the Sacrifice and death of Christ and that we stande iustified as righteous before God in the perfection of his obedience and through him are nowe the adopted childreÌ„ of his father and heires of his euerlasting kingdome in that we are made meÌ„bers of his bodie euen bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh to become with him one spirit and spiritual temple vnto God. The fourth proposition of the causes of faith in the worde preached and sacraments ministred Faith commeth by hearing and hearing by the worde of God. Rom. 10. 17. THis faith is not borne with vs neither groweth it out of our corrupt nature nor is bought with earthly treasure nor attained vnto by the labour and industrie of man but is the free and gracious gifte of GOD vnto his children whom he loued froÌ„ before al beginnings wrought in their heartes by his spirite through the preaching of the Gospel Which spirit is therefore called the spirit of adoption because it beareth witnes vnto our spirits that we are the children of God and heires of his kingdome teaching vs with boldenes confidence to crie Abba father and the Gospel preached is called the arme of the Lorde and the mightie power of God vnto saluation The grounde and foundation of our faith is the worde of God especially that part thereof which contayneth his moste louing promises made vnto vs in Jesus Christe This woorde was geuen vnto man from heauen firste by the Lord himselfe speaking vnto the Fathers in his owne person then by the ministery of his holy angels after by his seruauntes the Prophetes Last of all by his owne Sonne in whome are all the treasures of wisedome and knowledge hidde This worlde remaineth vnto vs in the recordes of the olde and newe Testament which bookes were written by the holie men of GOD his Prophetes and Apostles inspired by the holy Ghost is profitable to teach to confute to reprooue to instructe in all righteousnesse that the man of God may be perfect and perfectly instructed vnto euerie good woorke contayning all thinges necessarie for vs to knowe vnto eternall life from whiche we may not take any thing neither put anie thing vnto it This worde is plaine and easie to bee vnderstood of them that desire to doe the will of God and seeke after wisedome in humilitie
