of him Secondly that his passion and obedience is as certainely ours as if we our selues had paid the punishment of our sinnes and made satisfaction to God Mâ— What difference is there between the Supper of the Lord and the Popish Masse Schol The supper of the Lord doth witneâ— vnto vs that we haue perfect forgiuenes of all our sinnes for that onely sacrifice of Christ which he himselfe once offered vpon the crosse and then that we are by the holy Ghost ingrafted into Christ who now according to his humanitie is onely in heauen at the right hand of his Father and will there be worshipped of vs. But in the Masse it is denied that â—â—e quicke and dead haue forgiuenes of sinnes for the once suffering of Christ vnles Christ be still euery day offered for them by the Priests and then it is taught that Christ is bodily vnder the appearance of bread and wine and therefore ought to be worshipped in them And so the very foundation of the Masse is nothing else but a denying of that onely sacrifice and suffering of Iesus Christ Ma Who ought to come to the supper of the Lord Schol Onely they that are truely sorie that they haue offended God by tâ—eâ—â— sins and do beleeue that they are forgiuen them for Christs sake and that whatsoeuer infirmities they haue they are reuered by his passion and death and who desire more and more to goe forward in faith and vprightnes of life But hypocrites and they that do not truly repent do eate and drinke vnto themselues conâ—emnation Ma May they also be admitted to this supper who declare themselues by their confession and life to be vnbeleeuers and vngodly men Schol In no wise for by that meanes the couenant of God is prophaned aâ—◠〈◊〉 wrath of God prouoked against the whole congregation Wherefore the Church by the commandement of Christ and his Apostles vsing the keyes of the kingdome of heauen ought to keepe backe such from the supper vntill they repent and amend their manners Ma What are the keyes of the kingdome of heauen Sch The preaching of the Gospell and Eclesiasticall discipline whereby heauen is opened to them that beléeue and shut against vnbeléeuers Ma How is the kingdome of heauen opened and shut by the preaching of the Gospell Schol When by the commandement of Christ it is openly preached to all and euery one that beleeuerâ— that all their sins are forgiuen them by God so often as they lay bold vpon the promise of the Gospell by a true faith Contrariwise vnto all vnbeleeuers Hypocrites it is denounced that the wrath of God and euerlasting condemnation lyeth vpon them so long as they continue in their sins According to which testimonie of the Gospell God will iudge aswell in this present life as in the life to come Ma How is the kingdome of heauen shut and opened by Eclesiasticall discipline Schol When by the commandement of Christ they who are in name Christians but in doctrine and life shew themselues strangers from Christ after they haue bene once or twice admonished and will not depart from their errours or sinfull liuing are presented to the Church or to those who are appointed to that office by the Church and if they obey not their admonition are by forbidding them the Sacraments shut out from the assembly of the Church and not receiued againe till they professe amendment Ma Seeing we are deliuered from all sinnes and miseries without any desert of our owne by the only mercy of God for Christs sake to what end should we do good workes Schol Because after that Christ hath redeemed vs by his blood he doth also renew vs with his spirit according to his owne Image to the end that hauing receiued so great benefits we should all our life long shew our selues thankfull towards God and that he might be glorified by vs. Secondly that we also euery one of vs may be assured of our faith by the fruites thereof Lâ—st of all that by the vprightnes of our life we may gaine others to Christ Mâ—i Cannot they then be saued who being vnthankfull and continuing securely in their sinnes are not turned from their wickednes vnto God Schol By no meanes For as the scripture witnesseth neither vncleane persons nor Idolaters nor Adulterers nor theeues nor coueteus persons nor Drunkards nor Rulers nor Oppressors shall Inherit the Kingdome of God Mâ—i Of what parts consisteth true Repentance or turning to God Schol Of the mortifying or killing the old man and quickning of the new man Mâ— What is the mortification of the olde man Schol Truely and from the hart to be sorie that by thy sinnes thou hast offended God and more and more to hate and siye from thy sinnes Mai What is the quickning of the new man Schol True reioycing in God through Christ and a forward desire to frame our life according to Gods will and to exercise all good worâ—s Mai What works are good Schol Onely those which are done of a true Faith according to the Law of God and are referred onely to his glorie and not those which are deuised by our selues vpon a good intent or commandement by mens traditions Mai What is the law of God Schol The Lorde spake these wordes saying 1. I am Iehoua thy GOD which brought thee out of the land of Aegipt from the house of bondage thou shalt haue none other Gods but mée 2. Make not to thy selfe any grauen Image nor draw any likenes of those things which are either in heauen aboue or in the earth beneath or in the water vnder the earth thou shalt not fall downe before them nor worship them for I thy Lord and God strong and Iealous auenging the sinnes of the fathers vpon the children and that to the third and fourth generation of them that hate mee and shewing mercie vpon thousands in them that loue me and keepe my commandements 3. Take not the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine for the Lord will not let him goe vnpunished that taketh his Name in vaine 4. Remember to kéepe holie the Saboth day sixe dayes shalt thou labour and doe all thy worke but the seuenth day shall be the Sabaoth of the Lord thy God Thou shalt doe no worke neither thou nor thy sonne nor thy daughter nor thy seruant nor thy handmaide nor thy cattell nor the stranger that is within thy gates for in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen the earth the Sea and all things that are in them and rested the seuenth day therefore the Lorde blessed the seuenth day and hallowed it 5. Honour thy father and thy mother that thou mayest liue long vpon the Land which the Lord thy God shall giue thée 6. Thou shalt not kill 7. Thou shalt not commit Adultery 8. Thou shalt not steale 9. Thou shalt not beare false witnes against thy neighbour 10. Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house thou shalt not couet thy neighbours wife nor his
I doe owe vnto God for that deliuerance Ma How doest thou know thine owne miserie Scho By the law of God Ma What doth the law of God require of vs Schol That doth our Sauiour teach vs in the 2â— of Matt Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart with all thy soule and with all thy minde This is the first and greatest commandement and the second is like vnto this Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe On these two commandements hangeth the whole law and the prophets Ma. Art thou able to â—â—epe all tehse things perfectly Schol. In no wise for by nature I am prone to the hatred of God and my neighbour Ma Did God then make man so bad and corrupt Schol No truely God created him good and according to his owne Image that is endewed him with true righteousnes and holines that he might rightly know God his Creator loue him with all his heart and liue in blessednes with him for euer Ma From whence then ariseth this corruption of mans nature Schol From the fall and disobedience of our first parents Adam and Eue in Paradice where our nature was so corrupted that we are all conceiued and borne in sinne Ma But are we so corrupt that we are not at all fit to doe well but apt vnto all euill Schol Yea truely vnlesse we be regenerate by the holy Ghost Ma Doth not God then deale Iniuriously with man when he requireth that of him in his law which he is not able to performe Schol Not at all for God so created man that he was able to performe it but man inticed by the diuell by his owne disobedience depriued himselfe and all his posteritie of those gifts of God Ma What then will God let goe this disobedience and backsliding of man without punishment Schol No surely but he is most grieuously angry both with our naturall sinnes and with those sinnes which we our selues do commit and doth punish the same in most iust iudgement both with temporall and Eternall punishments euen as himselfe prenounceth Cursed is euery one who continueth not in all things that are written in the booke of the law to do them Ma What is not God mercifull also Schol Yes truely he is mercifull but so also he is iust Therefore his iustice requireth to haue that punished with euerlasting punishment of soule and body whatsoeuer is committed against the maiestie of so soueraigne and almightie a God Ma Seeing then we are by the iust iudgment of God in danger of temporall and euerlasting punishment Is there any way or meanes left whereby we may be deliuered from these punishments and be reconciled to God Schol God will haue his Iustice satisfied wherâ—â—ore we must néedes make satisfaction either by our selues or some other Ma Are we able to satisfie by our selues Schol Not one whit but rather daily do encrease our debt Ma Can any creature in heauen or in earth make satisfaction for vs Schol None at all for first God will not punish any other creature for that sinne that man hath committed Secondly that which is but an onely creature is not able to endure the wrath of God against sinne and to deliuer others from it Ma Then what manner of mediator and deliuerer must we seeke for Schol Such a one as is true man and perfectly iust and yet notwithstanding more mightie then al creatures that is one who is also true God Ma Wherefore must he needs be true man and perfectly iust Schol Because the iustice of God requireth that the same nature of man which sinned should also pay the punishment of sinne but he that were a sinner himselfe could not pay for other men Ma Wherefore ought he also to be true God Schol That by the power of his Godhead he might be able to sustaine the burthen of Gods wrath in his flesh and to recouer and restore vnto vs the righteousnes and life that we had lost Ma But who is that mediator which is both true God and true perfect man Schol Our Lord Iesus Christ who is made vnto vs of God wisedome righteousnes satisfaction and perfect redemption Ma Whereby knowest thou this Schol By the Gospell which God first reuealed in Paradice and afterwards did publish by the Patriarkes and Prophets shadowed out in Sacrifices and Ceremonies and last of all accomplished by his onely begotten sonne Ma Is saluation then restored by Christ to all men that perished in Adam Schol No not to all but onely to those who are ingrafted into him by true faith and do lay hold vpon all his benefites Ma What is true faith Schol It is not onely a knowledge by which I do stedfastly assent vnto all things which God hath reuealed vnto vs in his word but also an assured affiance and trust kindled in my heart by the holy Ghost through the Gospell by which I rest vpon God making sure account that forgiuenes of sinnes euerlasting righteousnes and life is bestowed not onely vpon others but also vpon me and that freely by the mercy of God for the merit and desert of Christ alone Maister What are those things which a Christian man must of necessitie beleeue Schol All those things which are promised vnto vs in the Gospell the sum whereof is briefly comprised in the Apostles Creeds or in the chiefs heads of the Catholike and vndoubted faith of all Christians Maist What is that Creed of the Apostles 1. I beleeue in God the father almightie maker of heauen and earth 2. And in Iesus Christ his onely Sonne our Lord. 3. Which was conceiued of the holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Mary 4.
