the_o papist_n who_o think_v so_o base_o of_o our_o religion_n we_o affirm_v the_o good_a work_n of_o the_o regenerate_v to_o be_v so_o acceptable_a in_o god_n sight_n that_o he_o will_v not_o suffer_v the_o least_o thereof_o to_o be_v unrewarded_a &_o further_o we_o teach_v &_o affirm_v in_o our_o religion_n that_o the_o regenerate_a &_o child_n of_o god_n can_v not_o continue_v in_o god_n favour_n unless_o they_o detest_v sin_n strive_v against_o the_o concupiscence_n of_o the_o flesh_n &_o do_v good_a work_n yet_o further_o we_o avouch_v constant_o that_o none_o can_v beleeùe_v true_o in_o christ_n which_o do_v not_o love_n christ_n &_o which_o do_v not_o employ_v his_o whole_a care_n study_n &_o industry_n to_o do_v the_o will_n of_o christ_n and_o to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o that_o this_o be_v the_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n very_o many_o god_n be_v thank_v for_o it_o have_v leave_v to_o their_o posterity_n livelie_a testimony_n of_o the_o same_o whereof_o i_o will_v only_o name_v one_o who_o as_o he_o do_v inwardlie_a in_o his_o heart_n believe_v the_o gospel_n so_o do_v he_o outward_o in_o his_o life_n profess_v it_o and_o after_o his_o death_n confirm_v the_o same_o with_o a_o most_o charitable_a and_o christian_n testimony_n of_o immortal_a memory_n i_o speak_v of_o that_o honourable_a and_o zealous_a christian_n sir_n walter_n mildmey_n the_o late_a founder_n of_o a_o most_o famous_a college_n in_o the_o university_n of_o cambridge_n which_o he_o term_v not_o after_o his_o own_o name_n as_o the_o great_a

as_o by_o the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n but_o as_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o predestination_n and_o of_o faith_n but_o the_o papist_n will_v say_v if_o good_a work_v can_v merit_v glory_n nor_o

be_v his_o holy_a will_n and_o good_a pleasure_n so_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o these_o word_n ipsius_fw-la enim_fw-la sumus_fw-la factura_fw-la creati_fw-la in_o christo_fw-la jesu_fw-la in_o

which_o god_n have_v ordain_v that_o we_o shall_v walk_v in_o they_o so_o then_o we_o think_v as_o reverentlie_o and_o esteem_v as_o worthy_o of_o good_a work_n as_o do_v any_o papist_n in_o the_o world_n for_o we_o grant_v that_o none_o can_v be_v save_v or_o sanctify_v without_o good_a work_n and_o further_o that_o none_o be_v true_o justify_v which_o have_v not_o good_a work_n &_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o do_v we_o constant_o affirm_v and_o that_o by_o the_o authority_n of_o holy_a write_v that_o no_o man_n be_v or_o can_v be_v iustify_v by_o virtue_n of_o his_o good_a work_n &_o the_o error_n of_o the_o papist_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o they_o do_v not_o distinguish_v between_o sanctification_n and_o justification_n the_o truth_n of_o our_o doctrine_n which_o be_v the_o

in_o priority_n of_o nature_n for_o example_n fire_n and_o the_o heat_n be_v both_o at_o one_o and_o the_o same_o time_n though_o fire_n be_v before_o in_o priority_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v though_o fire_n go_v before_o as_o the_o cause_n of_o every_o thing_n be_v before_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o same_o and_z as_o fire_n be_v not_o before_o heat_n in_o time_n and_o yet_o the_o cause_n of_o that_o heat_n so_o be_v our_o justification_n not_o before_o our_o sanctification_n or_o our_o inherent_a justice_n in_o time_n and_o yet_o be_v it_o the_o cause_n of_o our_o sanctification_n of_o our_o inherent_a justice_n and_o of_o all_o the_o good_a work_n we_o do_v which_o thing_n if_o the_o papist_n will_v once_o serious_o observe_v they_o will_v not_o differ_v from_o our_o opinion_n in_o this_o behalf_n unless_o they_o have_v full_o resolve_v to_o oppose_v themselves_o desperate_o against_o the_o truth_n the_o 12._o preamble_n who_o so_o ever_o will_v but_o even_o superficiallie_o consider_v the_o uncertainty_n of_o popish_a doctrine_n shall_v thereby_o without_o further_a discourse_n find_v sufficient_a matter_n to_o abhor_v and_o detest_v the_o same_o as_o most_o frivolous_a most_o ridiculous_a most_o irreligious_a for_o example_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o altar_n as_o they_o term_v it_o if_o certain_a question_n be_v propound_v unto_o they_o the_o best_a learned_a know_v not_o what_o to_o answer_v but_o so_o simple_o and_o so_o sottish_o as_o every_o child_n may_v espy_v the_o folly_n of_o their_o doctrine_n if_o any_o papist_n can_v true_o and_o without_o blush_a say_v the_o contrary_a let_v the_o same_o be_v notify_v by_o his_o answer_v to_o these_o my_o brief_a demand_n 1._o first_o i_o demand_v how_o they_o excuse_v the_o people_n that_o adore_v with_o divine_a worship_n the_o thing_n elevate_v over_o the_o priest_n head_n at_o mass_n from_o idolatry_n from_o heresy_n from_o false_a belief_n for_o if_o either_o the_o priest_n want_v intention_n to_o consecrate_v which_o often_o chance_v by_o reason_n of_o wander_a imagination_n or_o of_o purpose_n mean_v not_o to_o consecrate_v or_o of_o negligence_n omit_v any_o word_n of_o consecration_n then_o by_o popish_a religion_n the_o thing_n adore_v be_v but_o pure_a bread_n &_o so_o the_o adorer_n thereof_o become_v idolater_n worship_v a_o piece_n of_o bread_n for_o 17._o the_o everliving_a god_n and_o if_o the_o people_n either_o refuse_v to_o adore_v or_o doubt_v if_o they_o may_v adore_v they_o be_v deem_v heretic_n ipso_fw-la facto_fw-la for_o their_o pain_n because_o as_o the_o pope_n disholie_a canon_n tell_v we_o he_o that_o but_o doubt_v of_o romish_a definition_n concern_v faith_n and_o manner_n be_v a_o heretic_n 2_o secondlie_o i_o demand_v what_o it_o be_v that_o the_o priest_n receive_v and_o deliver_v to_o the_o communicant_n when_o he_o have_v 40._o bread_n before_o he_o suppose_v they_o to_o be_v but_o 38._o or_o 39_o and_o so_o intend_v to_o consecrate_v no_o more_o for_o beyond_o the_o priest_n intention_n consecration_n can_v extend_v as_o all_o wise_a papist_n grant_v neither_o be_v his_o intention_n more_o limit_v to_o one_o bread_n then_o to_o a_o other_o and_o therefore_o can_v no_o more_o consecrate_v one_o bread_n then_o another_o 3_o thirdlie_o i_o demand_v which_o part_n of_o the_o host_n as_o they_o term_v it_o be_v the_o popish_a make_v god_n when_o the_o sacrificer_n intend_v indefinitelie_o to_o consecrate_v the_o one_o half_a of_o the_o say_a host_n and_o how_o there_o in_o adore_v they_o can_v avoid_v idolatry_n 4_o four_o i_o demand_v how_o many_o god_n or_o how_o many_o time_n god_n be_v make_v in_o
sin_n be_v as_o red_a as_o scarlet_a yet_o shall_v they_o be_v 17._o make_v white_a as_o snow_n the_o second_o conclusion_n we_o must_v confess_v our_o sin_n one_o to_o a_o other_o when_o we_o offend_v one_o a_o other_o which_o fraternal_a reconciliation_n do_v upon_o earth_n god_n promise_v to_o ratify_v in_o heaven_n to_o this_o confession_n holy_a writ_n do_v serious_o exhort_v we_o in_o many_o place_n si_fw-mi offers_z munus_fw-la tuum_fw-la ad_fw-la altar_n &_o ibi_fw-la recordatus_fw-la fueris_fw-la quod_fw-la frater_fw-la tuus_fw-la habuit_fw-la aliquid_fw-la adversum_fw-la

before_o the_o altar_n and_o go_v first_o to_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o brother_n and_o then_o come_v and_o make_v thy_o offering_n this_o offering_n say_v the_o gloss_n be_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o

minister_n of_o his_o word_n and_o sacrament_n but_o this_o kind_n do_v not_o include_v in_o it_o a_o total_a and_o specifical_a enumeration_n of_o our_o sin_n this_o manner_n of_o confession_n make_v king_n david_n before_o the_o prophet_n nathan_n when_o he_o reprooved_a he_o for_o his_o offence_n peccavi_fw-la domino_fw-la i_o have_v sin_v unto_o the_o lord_n say_v david_n and_o the_o prophet_n

chapter_n for_o when_o esdras_n and_o the_o levite_n do_v interpret_v the_o law_n unto_o the_o people_n than_o the_o people_n acknowledge_v their_o offence_n and_o the_o offence_n of_o their_o forefather_n do_v lament_v weep_v &_o confess_v their_o sin_n before_o the_o levite_n and_o the_o whole_a congregation_n and_o that_o do_v the_o levit_n repeat_v their_o confession_n and_o desire_a pardon_n of_o god_n for_o the_o same_o so_o this_o sin_n day_n in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o people_n confess_v their_o sin_n general_o before_o the_o minister_n and_o in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a congregation_n yea_o in_o germany_n they_o confess_v such_o special_a sin_n as_o grieve_v and_o clog_n their_o conscience_n &_o for_o which_o they_o stand_v in_o most_o need_n to_o
