A10911	The summe of Christianitie reduced vnto eight propositions, briefly and plainly confirmed out of the holy worde of God.	Rogers, John, fl. 1560-1580.	1578 (1578)	STC 21183; ESTC S112989	19,396	49

proposition Rom. 7. 14. The Law is spirituall but we are carnall euen solde to bee subiect vnto sinne Gal. 5. 17. The flesh lusteth against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh c. TRue it is that we are not able of our selues so much as to thinke anie good thought much lesse to perfourme anie part of that righteousnesse which the Law requireth But this is our comfort that we are not now vnder the Law but vnder grace although the Scripture saith not in vaine that the Spirit which is in vs lusteth after enuie yet it offereth greater grace because it saith God resisteth the proud but giueth grace vnto the humble This grace woorketh first that we knowe the will of God and discerne that which is contrary thervnto Secondly that we haue a will desirous and studious of Gods glorie and profit of our brethren in the accomplishing of his commaundementes Thirdly also some power through the spirit to hate and forsake that which is euill and to loue and follow that which is good that our faith may become fruitfull our loue laborious and our hope pacient through that communion which we haue with Christ in the power of his death and of his rising againe For if we be truely come vnto Christ and coupled with him the old husband of our corruption by whome wee brought foorth fruit vnto death is crucified with Christ in his crosse that wee might be espoused vnto an other euen the newe man which is raised vp from the dead to bring foorth fruite vnto god Neither haue we now onely a commaundement vnto righteousnes and holinesse of life but there is giuen vs a newe spirit by which we are regenerated and renued in the spirit of our mindes to offer vp our selues in soule and bodie an holy acceptable liuely sacrifice vnto god And wheras the flesh euermore rebelleth against the spirit euen in the children of God we haue receiued promises of ayde assistance in this conflict yea of victorie and triumph ouer all our enemies And that we might with boldenes come vnto our God for ayde and defence wee haue entrance by Christ euen vnto his mercie seate and haue receiued that spirit which in this part helpeth our infirmitie and stirreth vp in vs those groninges which no tongue is able to expresse teaching vs to crie Abba father and to call vpon him in all our necessities and to aske all good thinges at his handes who hath made vs promises both of this life and of the life to come knowing this that he that hath not spared to giue vnto vs his onely begotten Sonne will also with him giue vs all things which in his wisedome he seeth to be needefull for vs Our helpe therefore is in the name of the Lorde Which is as an inuincible towre wherevnto the righteous fleeth is deliuered Also we know who it is that hath said aske and ye shall receiue seeke ye shall finde knocke and it shall be opened vnto you euen he which sitteth at the right hand of his father and maketh intercession for vs When wee pray wee must pray onely vnto God onely in the name of Jesus Christ onely for good thinges onely to a good ende with our heartes and not onely with lippes disposing our selues reuerently and religiously as in the presence of Gods maiestie touched with the want of that we aske and grieued with the burthen and feare of that we pray against being assured that the Lord heareth our praiers wil in his own good appointed time graunt our requestes as in his wisedome he knoweth to be expedient for his owne glorie and for our saluation There are many notable examples of this manner of praying in the holy scriptures especially in the booke of the Psalmes framed according to the diuers estates and affections of the Seruauntes of god Let vs therefore after their example examining our selues before the Lord in minde body and outwarde conditions of this life according to our present feeling sence thereof make our humble and vnfeined supplications in his presence for our selues and for all men especially them that are of the housholde of faith concluding sealing vp all our prayers with that forme of peticion which our sauiour Christ him self hath taught Our father which art in Heauen hallowed be thy name thy kingdome come thy will be done in earth as it is in heauen giue vs this day our dayly bread and forgiue vs our trespasses as we forgiue thē that trespasse against vs and leade vs not into temptation but deliuer vs from euell for thine is the kingdome the power and the glory for euer and euer Amen The eight proposition What other helpes there are vnto godlines and weldoing commended vnto vs in the woorde THe Lorde our GOD knowing the frailtie of our corrupt and cursed nature the deceitfulnesse of sinne the power rage and subtilties of Satan hath in wisedome and mercie for their further helpe appointed in his woord two kindes of discipline vnto his seruantes The one priuate the other publique vnto the first appertaineth all the exercises of repentance and godlines commended vnto vs either in precept or example of the holy scriptures As our daily consulting with the worde and lawes of God which to be vnto vs as they were vnto Dauid the men of our counsell the continuall examining of our waies turning our feete vnto the Lordes testimonyes our carefull and diligent hasting and not delaying to keepe his commaundements The grieuing of our selues with our sins past the feare of sinne present which is readie to intrapp vs the wise circumspect preuenting of sinne to come the subduing of the flesh and bring it in subiection after the maner of the Apostle with reuenge taken vpon our corruption for the mortifying of the same by withdrawing the baites prouocations and occasions of euill sobrietie and the pure and chast vse of all the good blessings of God abstenence euen from lawful pleasures and profites when they are either offensiue vnto others or hurtfull vnto our selues as otherwise so by bringing vs vnder the bondage seruitud of earthly things which all of them are ordained vnto corruption Fasting which the Scripture calleth the afflicting of the soule ioyned with continuall and earnest prayer vnto God. Making couenant with our mouths that they shall not speake euil and with our eyes that they shall not beholde vanitie imitating the vertues and godlines of the faithfull vsing holie company and conference with them Hating detesting and abhorring the wayes of the wicked shunning and eschewing all consulting and conuersation with them Not ceasing our conflict against sinne euen vntill blood but casting of the olde man and mortifying the woorkes of the flesh by the spirit to put on the newe man with the woorkes and armour of light to serue the Lord according to his
