but in Lymbo And lastly from those Germane diuines which thinke that our Sauiour carried with him into heauen the faithfull people in soule and bodie raised at his resurrection 3. Proposition Christ shall come againe at the last day to iudge all men euen the quicke and the dead The proofe from Gods word God annointed Iesus of Nazareth with the holie Ghost and with power c. Hence God raised vp the third day c. And he commanded vs to preach vnto the people to testifie that it is hee that is ordained of God a Iudge of quicke and dead saith S. Peter God shall iudge the world by Iesus Christ Iesus Christ shall iudge the quicke and dead at his appearing and in his kingdome c. Henceforth is laid vp for me the crowne of righteousnesse which the Lotd the righteous iudge shall giue mee at that day and not to mee onely but vnto all them also that loue his appearing saith S. Paul The Iudge standeth before the doore saith S. Iames And this Gods church and people doe firmely beleeue and faithfully confesse Errors and adversaries vnto this truth On the other side both they abroad and we at home abhorre them for their opinions which said that There shall be no genera●l iudgement at all as did the Manichies and doe the atheists That the deuills and the most vngodly some of them and namely so manie as in hell do call vpon God for mercie and forgiuenesse say the Turkes yea of al them say the Originists and Catabaptists shall be saued That the wicked shall not be iudged at all but shall die as the bruite beasts and neither rise againe in body nor come vnto iudgement An error of the Familie of Loue That Christ shall not be the future Iudge so thought both Dauid George Coppinger and Arthington For that George rumord himselfe to be the iudge of the whole world and Coppinger and Arthington published how one William Hacket was come to iudge the world and themselues to be his angels for the separating the sheepe from Goates That besides Christ the Pope is iudge of the quick dead An error of the Papists That afore the iudgement there shall be a golden world the godly and none besides enioying the same peaceably and gloriously as the Iewes imagine That the Beleife touching the general Iudgement of Christ ouer the liuing and dead is a doctrine mysticall or a mysterie no historie as H.N. teacheth That the righteous are alreadie in godly glorie and shall from henceforth liue euerlastingly with Christ and raigne vpon the Earth as the Familie of Loue holdeth 5. Article Of the holy Ghost The holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Sonne 2 is of one substance maiesty and glorie with the Father and the Sonne 1 very and eternall God The Propositions 1. The holy Ghost is very and eternall God 2. The holy Ghost is of one substance maiestie and glorie with the Father and the Sonne 3. The holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne 1. Proposition The holy Ghost is very and eternall God The proofe from Gods word THe holy Ghost to be verie and eternall God the Scripture teach vs. For he is the Creator of all things In the beginning God created the heauen and the earth c. And the spirit of God mooued vpon the waters O Lord how manifold are thy workes c. If thou hide thy face they are troubled if thou take away their breath they die and returne to their dust if thou send forth thy spirit they are created Ergo the holy Ghost is God Christians are to be baptized in the name of the holy Ghost aswell as of the Father and the Sonne Therefore is he verie God Ananias lied vnto God and Sapphira tempted God when both he lied vnto the holy Ghost and shee tempted the spirit of the Lord. As God he chooseth assigneth and sendeth forth men for the ministerie of the Gospel as God he decreeth orders for his Church and people and as God he is to be invocate and praied vnto as well as the Father and the Sonne Vpon this and the like words I beleeue in the holy Ghost I beleeue in the holy Ghost the Lord and giuer of life the Catholike Faith is this that wee worship one God in Trinitie and Trinitie in Vnitie c. The Father is God the Sonne is God and the holy God And yet they are not three Gods but one God c. say the auncient Fathers which also is the Faith and confession of all Gods people at this day The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth This maketh to the condemnatiō of the Pneumatomacheis whereof Some impugne the deitie of the holy Ghost as did in old time Samosatenus and Photinus of late yeares Seruetus Ochinus abroad and Francis Ket Hamant and certaine Brownists among vs at home Some affirme the holy Ghost to be but a meere creature as did Arius the Semiarians the Macedonian heretikes the Tropickes Ochinus Some haue assumed the stile and title of the holy Ghost vnto themselues as did Simon Magus Montanus and Manes Some haue giuen the title of the holy Ghost vnto men and women so Hierax said that Melchisedech was the holy Ghost Simon Magus tearmed his Helene the holy Ghost The Helchesaites saide the holy Ghost was a woman and the naturall sister of Christ Many Papists and namely the Franciscanes blush not to say that S. Francis is the holy Ghost 2. Proposition The holy Gost is of one substance maiestie and glory with the Father and the Sonne The proofe from Gods word The holy Ghost effected the incarnation of Christ teacheth all things leadeth into all truth giueth vtterance to his seruants gifts vnto his people placeth rulers in the Church and ouerseers to feede the flocke of God sealeth the Elect vnto the day of redemption aswel as the Father and the sonne and these three viz. the Father the word and the holy Ghost are one Therefore is the holy Ghost of one substance maiestie and glory with the Father and the sonne And this was the beleefe of the auncient Fathers I beleeue say they in the holy Ghost the Lord and giuer of life c. who with the Father and the sonne together is worshipped and glorified who spake by the Prophets The Godhead of the Father of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost is all one the glory equal the maiesty coeternal Such as the Father is such is the Son such is the holy Ghost c And in this Trinitie none is afore or after other none is greater or lesse then another But the whole three persons be coeternall together and coequal The very

Article Of faith in the holy Trinitie There is but 1 one liuing and true God euerlasting without bodie parts or passions of infinite power wisdome and goodnes 2 the maker and preseruer of all things both visible and inuisible 3 And in vnitie of this Godhead there be three persons of one substance power and eternitie the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost The propositions 1. There is but one God who is liuing true euerlasting c. 2. God is the maker and preseruer of all things 3. In the vnitie of the Godhead there is a Trinitie of persons 1. Proposition There is but one God who is liuing true euerlasting without bodie parts or passions of infinite power wisedome and goodnes The proofe from the word of God THat there is but one God who is c. is a truth which may be gathered from the al-holy and sacred Scripture is agreeable to the doctrine of the reformed Churches For both Gods word giueth vs to knowe that God is one and no moe liuing and true God euerlasting without bodie parts or passions of infinite power wisedome and goodnes and Gods people in their publike confessions from Ausburgh He●uetia Bohemia France Flanders and Wittemberge testifie the same Errors and adversaries vnto this truth Then impious execrable are the opinions of Dragoras Theodorus who fasly denied there was any God Of Protagoras and the Machiuilian Athiests which are doubtfull whether there be a God Of such as fained vnto themselues diuers and sundrie gods as did

haue a Quaternitie of persons not a Trinitie to be worshipped so did Anastasius the Emperour command the Apollinarians did hold Some doe graunt and acknowledge the names of three in the God-head but denie their persons such were the Noëtians Praxeneans and Hermogenians This did say how the same God was called by diuers names in the holy Scripture and therefore that the Father became flesh and suffered because one and the same God is called the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost For which cause they were tearmed Patripassians In this number was Sernetus Againe some doe grant the names and persons of three and yet depriue not onely the Sonne and holy Ghost of their diuinitie but the whole Trinitie also of their properties For they say there be three in heauen viz. the Father the Word and holy Ghost howbeit say they the Father onely is very God the word is the breath of the Father and the holy Ghost is the spirit created by God of nothing through the word spoiling so both the Sonne and holy Ghost of their deitie and the whole Trinitie of their properties Such were the Arrian and Macedonian heretikes hence by-named Pneumatomachons because they waged battel with the holy Ghost And some doe bring in other names of deitie besides of the Father Sonne and holy Ghost as did the Priscilianists 2. Article Of the word of God which was made very man The Sonne which is 1 the word of the Father begotten from euer-lasting of the Father the verie and eternall God of one substance with the Father 2 tooke mans nature in the wombe of the blessed virgine of her substance so that 3 two whole and perfect natures that is to say the God-head and man-hood were ioyned in one person neuer to be diuided where-of is one Christ very God and verie man ● who suffered was crucified dead and buried to reconcile his Father to vs and to be a Sacrifice not onely for originall guilt but also for all actuall sinnes of men The propositions 1. Christ is very God 2. Christ is very man 3. Christ is God and man and that in one person 4. Christ is the Sauiour of mankinde 1. Proposition Christ is very God The proofe from Gods word IN the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and that Word was God This is written of Christ. Therefore Christ is God Christ was begotten of the Father from euerlasting Therefore verie God This is life eternall that they knowe thee to be verie God and whome thou hast sent Iesus Christ They shal call his name Emanuel which is by interpretation God with vs Christ he is the brightnes of the glorie and the engraued image of the Father his person and beareth vp all things by his mightie hand Therefore verie God And this both hath bin of the auncient Christians and is the Faith of the reformed Churches The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth Miserably therefore doe they erre which either denie or impugne the deitie of our Sauiour as did certaine old heretikes viz. The Arrians whereof some were called the Douleians because in scorne they tearmed the onely begotten of God the Fathers seruant The Cerinthians The Ebionites among whome some said that Christ Iesus was a meere man others acknowledged him to be God but not from euerlasting The Eunomians The Samosatenians who thought that Christ was not the Sonne of God before his incarnation The Nestorians whose opinion was that Christ became God by merit but was not God by nature The Macedonians which vtterly denied the Sonne to be of one substance with the Father The Agnoites who held that the diuine nature of Christ was ignorant of some things Againe some late heretikes euen to the death neuer would acknowledge Christ Iesus to be the true and verie God as namely Certaine Catabaptists Blandrat Matthew Hamant burnt at Norwitch an 1579. one of whose heresies was that Christ was a meere and sinnefull man Francis Ket burnt also at Norwitch an 1588. who most obstinatelie maintained that Christ was not God til after his resurrection Dauid George sometime of Basil who affirmed himselfe to be greater for power then euer Christ was In oppugning the deitie of our Sauiour with these heretikes ioyne the Iewes and Turkes which say that Christ was a good man such as Moses and Mahomet were but not God Hence Amurath the great Turke in his letters vnto the Emp. Rodolph the second an 1593. tearmed our Sauiour in derision The crucified God vnto whome may be added the Familie of Loue 2. Proposition Christ is very man The proofe from Gods word HOlding the humanitie of Christ wee ioyne with the blessed Prophets and Euangelists who either prophecied of his future incarnation and conception in the wombe of a virgine or plainely auouched and writ both that the virgine Marie was his mother and that as verie man he grewe and increased in strength endured hunger and thirst wept and slept and suffered death Hence the auncient Fathers and Christians I beleeue in God the Father almightie c. and in Iesus Christ c. which was conceiued by the holy Ghost borne of the virgine Mary suffered vnder Pontius Pilate was crucified dead and buried The right faith is that we beleeue and confesse that our Lord Iesus Christ the Sonne of God is God and man God of the substance of the Father begotten before the world and man of the substance of his mother borne in the world Perfect God and perfect man of a reasonable soule and humane flesh subsisting Equal to the Father as touching his Godhead and inferiour to the Father touching his manhood I beleeue in one God the Father almightie c. and in one Lord Iesus Christ c. who for vs men and for our saluation came downe from heauen and was incarnate by the holy Ghost of the virgine Marie and was made man c The verie same testifie Gods people in Heluetia Basil Bohemia the Lowe countries France Ausburgh Wittemberg Suevia with many moe besides The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth Therefore most wicked were the opinions of those men which held viz. that 1. Christ really and indeed had neither bodie nor soule but was man in appearance onely as the Manichies the Eutychians the Marcionites and the Saturnians 2. Christ had a bodie without a soule as thought the Eunomians the Arrians the Apollinarians with the Theopaschites 3. Christ tooke not flesh of the virgine Marie so did the Valentinians thinke and so thinke the Anabaptists and the Familie of Loue who make an allegorie of the Incarnation of Christ 4. Christ tooke flesh onely of the virgine but no soule as the Arrians 5. Christ tooke flesh not

Pharao of the two kingdomes Iuda and Israel the two peoples Iewes and Gentiles the two Apostles Peter and Iudas the two Theeues vpon the Crosse the two men in the fieldes and the two women at the Mill make to the illustration of this truth All Churches consent with this doctrine The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth Erre therefore doe they which stand in opinion that Some are appointed to be saued but none to be damned In soule some persons but in soule and body together none shall be saued of this minde were the old heretikes viz. the false Apostles the Carpocratians the Valentinians the Cerdonites the Manichies and the Hieranites and of their opinion be the Familie of Loue 2. Proposition Predestination hath bin from euerlasting The profe from Gods word Predestination beganne before all times It will be said saith our Sauiour Christ Come ye blessed of my Father inherite ye the kingdome prepared for you from the foundations of the world God hath chosen vs in Iesus Christ before the Foundation of the world God hath saued vs c. according to his owne purpose and grace which was giuen to vs through Christ Iesus before the world was The publike confessions of the Churches namely in Heluetia Basil and France beare witnesse herevnto Aduersaries vnto this truth Those wrangling Sophisters then are deceiued who because God is not included within the compasse of any time but hath all things to come as present continually before his eies doe say that God he did not in the time long agoe past onely but still in the time present likewise doth predestinate 3. Proposition They which are predestinate vnto saluation cannot perish The proofe from Gods word All that the Father giueth mee shall come to mee and him that commeth to mee I cast not away saith Christ I giue vnto them eternall life and they shall neuer perish neither shall any pluck them out of my hand c. none is able to take them out of my Fathers hand The gates of hel shall not ouercome the Church Moreouer whome be predestinate them hee also glorified For the giftes and calling of God are without repentance They went o●t from vs but they were not of vs for if they had beene of vs they would haue continued with vs So the Churches of God as afore in this article The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth Wander then doe they from the truth which thinke That the very elect totally and finally may fall from grace and be damned That the regenerate may fall from the grace of God may destroy the temple of God and be broken off from the vine Christ Iesus which was one of Glouers errors That the number of those which be predestinate may both encrease and be diminished so thought the Pelagians 4. Proposition Not all men but certaine be predestinate to be saued The proofe from Gods word Wee denie that all and affirme that a certaine chosen and companie of men be predestinate and so doth Gods word Reioice that your names are written in heauen I knowe mine and am knowne of mine is the saying of Christ Iesus I suffer all things for the elects sake saith S. Paul The very same with vs doe the Churches affirme Adversaries vnto this truth Wee are therefore against them which teach how not certain but all euen the most vngodly and damnable yea the very Deuils shall be saued of which opinion were the Originists and are the Cptabaptists All men be elected vnto life euerlasting There is no hell nor future and eternall misterie at all but only either in mās opiniō as hold the Atheists or in the heart and conscience of man in this life as the Familists maintaine No certaine companie be foredestined vnto eternall condemnation None more then others be predestinate vnto saluation which was an error of Henry Bolsteck In like sort we condemne such as either curiously enquire who and how many shall be saued or damned or giue the sentence of reprobation vpon any men whosoeuer as doe the Papists vpon Caluine Beza and Verone when they call them Reprobates 5. Proposition Of the meere will and purpese of God some men in Christ Iesus are elected and not others vnto saluation The proofe from Gods word In the Scripture wee read of mans predestination the cause efficient to be the euerlasting purpose of God the cause formall God his infinite mercie and goodnes the cause materiall the blood of Christ the cause finall or ende why both God the Father hath loued and Christ for his elect hath suffered is the glorie of God and the saluation of man And this doe all the Churches militant and reformed with a sweete consent testifie and acknowledge Errors adversaries vnto this truth Hereby is discouered the impietie of those men which thinke that 1. Man doth make himselfe eligible for the kingdome of heauen by his owne good workes and merits So teach the Papists The kingdome of heauen say they is prepared for them that are worthie of it and deserue it by their well doing Licet electis gloria ex eterna Dei predestinatione dimanet non tamen provenit nisi ex eorum operibus c. Sine nobis non glorificamur 1. Although from Gods eternall predestination glory floweth to the elect yet for all that it springeth not but from their owne workes c. Without our selues wee are not glorified 2. God

same doe all reformed Churches beleeue and confesse The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth The premises doe make Against the Tretheites which affirme the holy Ghost to be inferior vnto the Father Against the Arrians who said the holy Ghost was inferior to the Sonne Against the Macedonian heretikes who held the holy Ghost to be but a minister and seruant of the Father and the Sonne yet of more excellent maiestie and dignitie then the Angels Against many erroneous spirits which deliuer the holy Ghost to be nothing els but The motion of God in his creatures as did the Samosatenians A bare power and efficacie of God working by a secret inspiration as the Turkes and certaine English Sadduces doe imagine The Inheritance allotted to the faithfull and the beeing or vertuous estate of Christ as dreameth H.N. The affection of charitie or Loue within vs an error of Petrus Lombardus Gods loue fauour and vertue whereby he worketh in his children so thought Ochinus and Seruetus 3. Proposition The holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne The proofe from Gods word The proceeding of the holy Ghost from the Father and the Sonne we gather from the holy scripture which teacheth how The Father sendeth the comforter which is the holy Ghost in the name of the Sonne and the sonne sendeth the comforter the spirit of truth from the Father he proceedeth of the Father and is sent of the Sonne So with vs say the auncient Fathers and Christians He proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne The holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Sonne neither made nor created but proceeding So there is one Father not three Fathers one sonne not three sonnes one holy Ghost not three holy Ghostes which is the faith of the moderne christians Errors and aduersaries vnto this truth This discouereth all them to be impious and to erre from the way of truth which hold and affirme That the holy Ghost proceedeth neither from the Father nor the Sonne but is one and the same person that Christ is as the Arrians doe That the holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father but not from the sonne as at this day the Graecians the Russians the Moscouites maintaine That there is a double proceeding of the holy Ghost one temporall the other eternall an error of Peter Lombard vncontrolled hitherto and therefore well liked of the Papists 6. Article Of the sufficiencie of the holy Scripture for saluation Holy Scripture 1 containeth all things necessarie for saluation so that whatsoeuer is not read therein nor may be prooued thereby is not to be required of any man that it should be beleeued as an article of the Faith or be thought requisite necessary to saluation 2 In the name of the holy Scripture we doe vnderstand those Canonicall bookes of the old and newe testament of whose authoritie was neuer any doubt in the Church Of the names and number of the Canonicall bookes Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers Deuteronomium Iosue Iudges Ruth The 1. Booke of Samuel The 2. Booke of Samuel The 1. Booke of Kings The 2. Booke of Kings The 1. Booke of Chronicles The 2. Booke of Chronicles The 1. Booke of Esdras The 2. Booke of Esdras The Booke of Esther The Booke of Iob. The Psalmes The Proverbs Eccles. or the Preacher Canticles or song of Salomon 4. Prophets the greater 12Prophets the lesse 3 And the other bookes as Hierome saith the Church doth read for example of life and instruction of manners but yet doth it not applie them to stablish any doctrine Such are these following The 3. Booke of Esdras The 4. Booke of Esdras The Booke of Tobias The Booke of Iudith The rest of the Booke of Hester The Booke of wisedome Iesus the sonne of Sirach Baruch the Prophet Song of the 3. children The story of Susanna Of Bel and the Dragon The praier of Manasses The 1. Booke of Macchabes The 2. Booke of Macchabes 4 All the bookes of the newe Testament as they are commonly receiued we doe receiue and accompt them for Canonicall The propositions 1. The sacred Scripture conteineth all things necessarie to be knowen and beleeued for the saluation of man 2. All the bookes in the volume of the Bible are not Canonicall but some and namely those here specified are 3. The 3. 4. bookes of Esdras the booke of Tobias c. are apocryphal 4. Of the newe Testament all the bookes are Canonicall 1. Proposition The sacred Scripture containeth all things necessary to be knowne and beleeued for the saluation of man The proofe from Gods word THe holy Scriptures to be sufficient to instruct vs in all things necessary to be knowen and beleeued for mans saluation the word of God teacheth Ye shall put nothing vnto the word which I command you saith the Lord neither shall yee take ought therefrom Whatsoeuer I command you take heed you doe it thou shalt put nothing thereto nor take ought therfrom Thou shalt not turne away from it to the right hand nor to the left that thou maist prosper whither soeuer thou goest Euery word of God is pure c. Put nothing vnto his words least he reprooue thee and thou be found a liar These things are written that ye might beleeue c. and that in beleeuing yee might haue life through his Name The whole Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God and is profitable to teach to improoue to correct and to instruct in righteousnesse that the man of God may be absolute beeing made perfect vnto all good workes If any man shall adde vnto these things God shall adde vnto him the plagues that are written in this booke and if any man shall diminish of the wordes of this booke God shall take away his part out of the booke of life and out of the holy cittie and from those things which are written in this booke Hereunto Gods people both alwaies haue and at this present doe subscribe The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth Therefore adversaries be wee to all adversaries to this truth especially To such as scorne and contemptuously reiect the booke of God as both did the Circumcellians which defaced and burnt the holy Scriptures and Pope Leo the tenth who tearmed the holy Gospel A fable of Christ and doe the prophane Atheists Also to such as debase the credite and estimation of the holy Scriptures as Dauid George did and both doe the papists who haue an opinion that the scriptures of God are not sufficient to instruct mankinde vnto saluation and the Anabaptists which deeme not the holy Bible to be the word of God with the Familie of Loue in whose bookes nothing is more frequent then the tearming of Gods reverend ministers and preachers Scripture learned Also to them which with Gods word doe equall their owne doctrines
