that are necessary for us to know concerning God and our Duty unto him and also unto all Men. That all Persons ought to read hear and understand the holy Scriptures That the Light of Nature and Works of Providence tho they declare plainly there is a God yet not so effectually as the holy Scriptures nor can we know without them how and in what space of time God created all things Neither came we any other ways but by the holy Scriptures to the Knowledg of Christ the blessed Mediator which indeed none can savingly know but by the Word and Spirit of God Of Original Sin VII WE do believe that God having created Man he entered into a Covenant of Life with him upon the condition of perfect Obedience making the first Adam a common Head to all his Seed and that our first Parents being left to the freedom of their own Will fell from the Estate wherein they were created by eating of the forbidden Fruit and that Adam being set up as a publick Person we all sinned in him and fell with him into a state of Sin of Wrath and Misery the Sinfulness of which state consists in the guilt of Adam's first Sin the want of Original Righteousness and the Corruption of our whole Nature from whence all actual Sins proceed as Water out of a filthy and an unclean Fountain So that not only by Imputation all Men became Sinners in the first Adam but also as the same corrupt Nature is conveyed to all his Posterity who descend from him in ordinary Generation By this Sin all Mankind lost the Image of God and Communion with him being liable to all the Miseries of this Life and to Death it self and also are dead in Sins and Trespasses and obnoxious to the Wrath of God and the eternal Pains of Hell for ever Hence we say that all are conceiv'd and born in Sin and are the Children of Wrath even the Elect as well as others being wholly defiled in all the Faculties and Parts of Soul and Body and utterly indisposed and disabled to do any thing that is spiritually good and wholly inclined with a strong propensity to all things that are evil Of Man's Free-will VIII WE believe Man in his state of Innocency had freedom of Will to do good but by the Fall he hath utterly lost all that Power and Ability being wofully depraved in all the Faculties of his Soul there being in the Will and Mind of all naturally much Enmity against God and a total aversion to him and to every thing that is spiritually good loving Darkness and rebelling against the Light But when a Man is renewed by Divine Grace tho there is no force put upon the Will yet it is made willing and acts freely in the day of God's Power tho the Work is not perfect in any Faculty in the Regenerate nor will be in this Life Of Christ the Mediator IX WE believe that God having out of his own meer good Pleasure and infinite Love elected some Persons of the lost Seed of the first Adam unto everlasting Life from all Eternity did enter into a Covenant of Grace with the second Person of the Trinity who was set up as the common Head of all the Elect to deliver them out of the state of Sin and Misery and to bring them into a state of Salvation and eternal Happiness That the second Person in the Godhead being the eternal Son of God Coessential and Coequal with the Father according to that holy Covenant and Compact that was between them both became Man or assumed our Nature and so was and continueth to be God and Man in two distinct Natures in one Person for ever And that he the Son of God by his becoming Man did take unto him a True Body and Reasonable Soul being conceived by the holy Spirit in the Womb of the Virgin and was born of her yet without Sin Of the Offices of Christ X. WE believe that the Lord Jesus Christ who is our Redeemer and the one blessed Mediator between God and Man executeth a threefold Office both the Office of a Priest the Office of a King and the Office of a Prophet First That he executeth the Office of a Priest 1. In his once offering up himself a Sacrifice to satisfy Divine Justice and to reconcile God to us and us to God 2. And in making continual Intercession for us that the Merits of his Blood may be made effectual unto us Secondly That he executeth the Office of a King in subduing us unto himself and in giving us Laws and holy Precepts by which we ought to walk and also in his restraining and conquering all his and our Enemies Thirdly That he executeth the Office of a Prophet in revealing to us by his Word and Spirit the whole Will of God concerning all things that appertain to Faith and Practice Of Christ's Humiliation and Exaltation XI WE believe that Christ's Humiliation consisted in that great Condescension of his in assuming our Nature and being born in a low condition made under the Law undergoing the many Miseries of this Life the Wrath of God the Curse of the Law and the ignominious Death of the Cross continuing under Death for a time And that his Exaltation consisteth in his rising again from the dead the third day and in his ascending up into Heaven in sitting at the Right-hand of God Angels Powers and Principalities being made subject unto him and in his being made Judg of the quick and dead Of effectual Calling XII WE do believe that we are made Partakers of the Redemption purchased by Christ by the effectual Application of his Merits c. unto us by the Holy Spirit thereby uniting us to Christ in effectual Calling And that effectual Calling is the Work of God's Free Grace who by his Spirit works Faith in us who are altogether passive therein and convincing us of Sin and Misery enlightning our Minds in the Knowledg of Christ and renewing our Wills and changing our whole Hearts he doth perswade and enable us to imbrace Jesus Christ freely as he is offered in the Gospel Of Justification XIII WE do believe Justification is a free Act of God's Grace through that Redemption which is in Christ who as our Head was acquitted justified and discharged and we in him when he rose from the Dead and when applied to us we in our own Persons are actually justified in being made and pronounced righteous through the Righteousness of Christ imputed to us and all our Sins past present and to come for ever pardon'd which is receiv'd by Faith alone And that our Sanctification nor Faith it self is any part of our Justification before God it not being either the Habit or Act of Believing or any Act of Evangelical Obedience imputed to us but Christ and his active and
