Of the going down of Christ into Hell AS Christ died for us and was buried Nam Corpus usque ad resurrectionem in Sepulchro jacuit spiritus ab illo emissus cum spiritibus qui in carcere sive in inferno detinebantur fuit illisque praedicavit quemadmodum testatur Petri locus Sic Artic Edw. 6. so also is it to be believed that he went down into Hell 4. Of the Resurrection of Christ CHrist did truly rise again from death and took again his body with flesh bones and all things appertaining to the perfection of mans nature wherewith he ascended into Heaven and there sitteth until he return to judge all men at the last day 5. Of the holy Ghost Non habentur in R. Edw. 6. Artic. THE holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son is of one Substance Majesty and Glory with the Father and the Son very and eternal God 6. Of the sufficiency of the holy Scriptures for Salvation HOly Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation so that whatsoever is not read therein † Licet intetdum a fidelibus ut pium conducibile ad ordinem decorum admittatur nor may be proved thereby * is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an Article of Faith or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation In the name of the holy Scripture we do understand those Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church Of the Names and numbers of the Canonical Books Non habetur in R Edw 6.

Book of Maccabees The 2. Book of Maccabees All the Books of the New Testament as they are commonly received we do receive and account them Canonical 7. Of the Old Testament THe Old Testament is not contrary to the New Testamentum vetus quasi novo contrarium sit non est repudiendum ed retisnendum for both in the Old and New Testaments everlasting life is offered to mankind by Christ who is the only Mediator between God and man being both God and man Wherefore they are not to be heard which feign that the old fathers did look only for transitory promises Although the Law given from God by Moses as touching Ceremonies and Rites do not bind Christian men nor the civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any Common-wealth Vid. haec Art 18. notata ex R. Edw. yet notwithstanding no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the Commandments which are called Moral 8. Of the three Creeds THE three Creeds Nice Creed Athanasius Creed and that which is commonly called the Apostles Creed ought thorowly to be received and believed for they may be proved by most certain warrant of holy Scripture 9. Of Original or Birth-sin ORiginal sin standeth not in the following of Adam as the Pelagians do vainly talk † Et hodie Anabaptistae repetunt but is the fault and corruption of the nature of every man that naturally is ingendred of the off-spring of Adam whereby man is far gone from original righteousness and is of his own nature inclined to evil so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the spirit and therefore in every person born into this world it deserveth Gods wrath damnation And this infection of nature doth remain yea in them that are regenerated whereby the lust of the flesh called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which some do expound the wisdom some sensuality some the affection some the desire of the flesh is not subject to the Law of God And although there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized yet the Apostle doth confess that concupiscence and lust hath of it self the nature of sin De Gratia GRatia Christi seu S. Spiritus qui per eundem datur cor lapideum aufert dat cor carneum Atque licet ex nolentibus quae recta sunt volentes faciat ex volentibus prava nolentes reddat voluntati nihilominus violentiam nullam infert nemo hâc de causâ cum peccaverit s●ipsum excusare potest quasi nolens aut coactus peccaverit ut eam ob causam accusare non mereatur aut damnari Artic. Edwardi 6. decimus 10. Of Free-will THe condition of man after the fall of Adam is such that he cannot turn and prepare himself by his own natural strength and good works to faith and calling upon God wherefore we have no power to do good works pleasant and acceptable to God without the Grace of God by Christ preventing us that we may have a good will and working with us when we have that good will 11. Of the Justification of Man WE are accounted righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ by faith Haec non habentur in Reg. Edward 9. Artic. Justificatio ex sola Fide Jesu Christi eo sensu quo in Homilia de Justificatione explicatur est certissima saluberrima Christianorum doctrina Sic in Reg. Edward 6.
