the Manichies the Basilidians the Valentinians the Messalian heretikes the Gentiles and heathen people whereof some in place of God worshipped Beastes vnreasonable as the Aegyptians did a Calfe an Oxe Cats Vulturs and Crocodils The Syrians a Fish and Pigeons the Persians a Dragon some as Gods haue adored men vnder the names of Iupiter Mars Mercurie and such like and some euen at this day for God doe worship Kine the Sunne and what they thinke good so doe inhabitants of Baly in the East Indies Of the Anthropomorphites which ascribed the forme and lineamentes of man vnto God thinking God to be like vnto man Of such as put their trust and confidence to be reposed in God alone either in men liuing as doe both the Persians in their Soldan and the Papists in their Pope who with them is God their Lord and God of infinite power or in Saints departed this life as doe the same Papists both in their S. Francis whome they tearme The glorie of God prefigured by Esay when he said Holy Holy Holy c. and in their Thomas Becket whom they say God hath set ouer the workes of his hands or in Beastes vnreasonable as doth the Mordwite Tartar or finally in riches and other senslesse creatures as doe the Atheists and irreligious worldlings 2. Proposition God is the maker and preseruer of all things The proofe from Gods word THat the world and all things both visible and invisible therein both were made and are preserved by the almightie and onely power of God are truthes grounded vpon the holy Scripture and agreeable to the confessions of Gods people For touching the creation of the world we read that in the beginning God created the heauen and the earth c. He made heauen and earth by him were all things created which are in heauen and which are in earth things visible and invisible whether Thrones or Dominions or Principalities or Powers all things were created by him and for him by his Sonne he made the worldes and all these acknowledged by the Churches primitiue and reformed at this day And touching the preseruation of all things by him created My soule praise thou the Lord c. saith the Psalmist which couereth himselfe with light as with a garment spreadeth the heauens like a curtaine which laieth the beames of his chambers in the waters and maketh the cloudes his chariot and walketh vpon the wings of the winde which maketh the spirits his messengers and flaming fire his ministers c. Are not two sparrowes sold for a farthing and one of them shal not fal on the ground without your Father yea and al the haires of your head are numbred saith our S. Christ God that made the world and all things that are therein he is Lord of heauen and earth he giueth life and breath and all things and hath made of one blood all mankinde to dwel on all the face of the earth and hath assigned the times which were ordained before and the bonds of their habitation saith S. Paul The Sonne is the brightnes of the glorie and the ingraued forme of his person and beareth vp all things by his mightie word The Churches of God in Heluetia Basil France and Flanders testifie the verie same Errors and aduersaries vnto these truths Hereby are condemned all Heretikes and errors impugning either the creation of the world by God or his providence in the continuing and preseruation of the same Of the former sort was First Aristotle and his followers which said the world was eternal and without beginning Next the Marcionites that held how God made not the world as being too base a thing for him to create 3. Simon Magus Saturnius Meander Carpocrates Corinthus who ascribed the worldes creation vnto Angels 4. The Manichies who gaue the creation of all things vnto two Gods or Beginnings the one good whereof came good things the other euill whence proceeded euill things 5. The same Manichies and Priscillianists which did affirme man to haue bin the workemanship not of God but of the Deuill 6. The Familie of Loue who deliuer that God by them made heauen and earth 7. The Papists who giue out how sacrificing Priests are the Creators of Christ Of the latter sort were The Stoike Philosophers and the Manichies who are the great patrones of Destinie Fate and Fortune The Familie of Loue which may not say God saue any thing for they affirme that all things be ruled by nature and not ordered by God The old Philosophers who thought that inferior things were too base for God to be carefull of And lastly the Epicures who thinke God is idle and gouerneth not the same Of which minde was Cyprian who held that God hauing created the world did commit the gouerment thereof vnto certaine celestial powers 3. Proposition In the Vnitie of the Godhead there is a Trinitie of persons The proofe from Gods word THe Scripture saith In the beginning God the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost created the heauen and the earth By 1 the word of the 2 Lord were the heauens made and all the host of them by the 3 Breath of his mouth Loe the heauens were opened vnto 1 him and Iohn sawe 2 the Spirit of God descending like a Doue and lighting vpon him and loe a voice from heauen saying This is 3 my beloued Sonne in whome I am well pleased Because yee are sonnes 1 God hath sent forth 2 the Spirit of his 3 Sonne into your heartes which crieth Abba Father saith the Apostle and againe The grace of 1 our Lord Iesus Christ and the loue 2 of God and the communion of the 3 holy Ghost be with you all And S. Iohn There are three which beare record in heauen 1 The Father 2 the word and 3 the holy Ghost and these three are one This truth hath alwaies bin and serously is confessed in the church of Christ. Errors adversaries vnto this truth Then cursed are all opinions of men contrarie herevnto whereof Some denied the Trinitie affirming there is one God but not three persons in the Godhead so did the Montanists and Marcellians and so doe the Iewes and Turkes Some as the Gnostikes Marcionites and Valentinians affirme there be moe Gods then one and yet not three persons nor of one and the same nature but of a diuers and contrarie disposition Some thinke there be three Gods or spirits not distinguished onely but diuided also as did the Ennomeans and Trethectes Some feare not to say that in worshiping the Trinitie Christians doe adore three Deuils worse then all the idols of the Papists such blasphemers were the Heretikes Blandrat and Alciat Some will
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
