Fourthly I knowe that olde Grādsyre ou● fyrste parent was throughe that loue of hym selfe hytherto brought the deuyll throughe enuy entysynge and mynistring that pernycious counsayl that he desyred to be lyke vnto god This great cryme when he had commytted it he dyd eate that forboden and deadly apple wherby he became gyltie death now made the enemye of his owne God This man therfore when god myght nowe by his iustyce haue vtterly loste and dampned hym yet of his mercyable goodnes he toke a more easy way with hym that is to wyt he chaūged this deadly euerlastynge payne of both body soule into a transytory condycion or state that is he made hym but a bōde seruāte whom he myght haue perpetually sayd in tormētes This bonde condycion of seruytute syth nother y e man hymselfe nor yet any mā borne of hym may auoyd and take away for what can y e bonde mā beget but a bonde mā he threw thrusted al his posterite throuhe y e deadly taste of thaple also into bōdage And here this is my mynde as touchyng Orygynall syn synne is called verely y t that is commytted agaynst the lawe For where as is no law thereis no trāsgression where as is no trāsgressiō there is no syn ꝓperly so called takynge synne for that iniquite cryme vngodlynes actually cōmytted gyltie death I knowledge therfore that ou● fyrste parent synned y t actuall and oryginall syn whiche is verely synne iniquite cryme vngodlynes But they y t are borne of hym syn̄ed not lyke maner to Adam For which one of vs his posteryte deuoured eate any forbodē apple in paradyse wherfore we must nedes graunt y t oryginall syn as it is in the chyldren of Adā is not a syn properly actually cōmytted agaynst the lawe But may be called properly our byrth sore or naturall syknes also our naturall synfull cōdycion synfull seruyle state Our sore or syknes it is called because as he thorowe y e loue of hīselfe fyl euen so do we fall It is called also our synfull cōdycion and state because y e lyke as he became a seruaūt bonde vnto death euē so are we borne the bond seruaūtes the chyldren of wrath vnder the power of death albeit I care not gretly thoughe men call this sore syknes cōdicion syn after Paule yea suche syn so y t who so euer be borne in it they be thenimies aduersaries of god For to this state y e condiciō of y e cōcepcion byrth brīgeth thē not any actual ꝑpretacion doyng of syn but in that y t this syn our fyrste parēt once cōmytted it wherfore y e cryme syn once cōmitted of adā is the verye cause of thopen treason agaynst gods maiestie and of our death and enemyte betwyxt god vs. And this is verely synne But the syn̄e which cleaueth vnto vs at oure concepcion is verely that naturalis on full sore and decease it is that condicion and state yea it is that necessite to dye Vvhiche so●e condicion had neuer hapened vnto vs by our byrth onely had not t●is synne viciated and pollu●ed our cōcepciō natiuite The synne therfore and not our byrth is the cause of our mis●rable calamite Oure natyuite is no nother couse then is that thing which foloweth of the principall cause This my sentence I confyrme with auctorite ensample Paule Ro. v. sayth If that by y e synne of onely one man death got the mastry ouer all men c. Euen so dyd grace with the gyfte whiche is ryghtwysnes raigne into lyfe by onely one man Iesus christ Here we se synne takē properly for it was onely Adam by whose fault death hangeth ouer oure heades In the .iii. chap. also he sayth Alla●e synners and destytute of that glory of god that is to saye all haue loste that glorious symylitude and beutifull ymage of god wherin man was fyrste created an innocent perfyte without spot or tymple Here is synne taken for the sore or syknes for our synfull condicion and natiuite wherby we loste our similitude so that all men be called synners yea and that are they be borne that is to saye all are in the cōdiciō and state of synne death before they synne auctually Vvhich sentence is constantly cōfyrmed by Paules wordes agayne Roma v. saynge But death obtayned the mastrie and went thorow euen from Adam vnto Moises yea that thorow euen those whiche had not synned as had Adam transgressed Lo here ye se death euē vpon vs infantes althoughe yet we haue not synned as dyd Adam And wherfore for he hath synned But we syth we haue not syn̄ed as dyd he wherfore shuld death deuoure vs Verely because he died for his synne he thus deade that is to saye adiuged to death the sentence layde vpon hym dyd beget vs. Vve therfore dye but thorowe his fault and thorewe oure owne condycion and sore or dysease or els yf thou haddest leuer so call it thorow our owne synne so that thou takest synne for not auctuall an ensample A man taken in batayll deserueth by his vnfaythfulnes and enemytie to be kept and holden a bonde man of whō as many as be borne are become seruauntes and bonde men borne as they saye in theyr maisters howse They be bōde not through theyr owne fault or gylt but through the cōdycion whiche foloweth y e fault For their parētes of whom they be borne deserued this bōdage through theyr owne synne As for theyr children they haue not this synne but the payne punysshment of the syn that is to wyt the condycion the seruitute pryson These thynges yf it lyke you to call synne because they be inflycte for the synne I wyl not agaynesay But as for origynall synne by the reason of the cōdycion and contagion I knowledge it to be borne and cōceyued in all that be gotten of thaffect and desyre of man and womā And vs to be naturally the chyldren of wrath I knowe it but by the grace whiche hath restored the fall throughe the seconde Adam christe I doubte not to be receiued among the chyldrē of god and that by this waye whiche foloweth ¶ The .v. article Fyfthlie hereby it is manifeste that yf we be restored in Christ the secōde Adam vnto lyfe as we were gyuen ouer in the fyrste Adam vnto death that then be we to fole hardye to dampne any chyldren borne of christen parētes yea or yet the heathen mennes chyldren thoughe they dye without baptisme or cyrcūcision for yf Adam were able to lese all mankynde by one synne christ by his deth hath not reuyued and redemed all mankynde frō that plage gyuen thorughe Adam then was there not lyke health gyuen throughe christe neyther can it be lyke trewe whiche God forbyd that as in Adam all were dead euen fo in christ all be restored to lyfe But howe so euer men diffyne of the
this sacramēt Euen that thynge whiche onely was but the signe of his bodye to be called y e body it selfe Let them go nowe they that lyfte and condempne vs of heresy so longe as they may se themselues to condempne by the same broyd euen the che●e pyllers of the olde doctours diuynes contrarye to the decrees of the Popes Of these wordes it is full manifest that the olde doctours and diuynes dyd alwayes speake sygnificatiuely in the significacion therof when they attrybuted somoch vnto the eatyng of the bodye of Christe in the supper ▪ that is to wyt not that the sacramenta●l eatynge myghte pourge the soule but fayth in god thorowe Iesus Christe which is the spirituall eatynge dyd pourge it of the whiche fayth spirituall eatyng these outwarde thīges are y e significacion and shadowe And as the corporall fode susteyneth y e body as doth wyne refreshe it make it glad so doth that fayth stablysshe our mynde and certyfieth it of the mercye of God in that he gaue vs his sone as he refressheth oure mynde with the bloude of hym when our fayth certyfieth vs that our synnes which so burned our cōscience be quenched in his bloude Nowe therfore let vs be contented with these places albeit a man myght compyle ryght great bokes to declare and confyrme that the olde doctours were of oure syde Neyther lette not the boke nowe lately made of Eccius of the sentence of the olde doctours moue and peruerte any man whose sentence the good mā promyseth hymselfe to defende so plainly y t al men may se it For we shall se shortly the confutacion of this boke by oure brother Decolampadius a man excellently learned whiche from the begīnynge of this stryfe hath taken vpon hym to affyrme and declare the sentence of the olde doctors in this matter And we whiche also are in this sentēce haue I thynke performed it plentuouslye in many bokes wryttē vnto dyuers men what soeuer in this matter may be desyred required for a more playne exposiciō cōfutacion of oure aduersaries ¶ The .ix article For the nynth article I beleue that the Ceremonies whiche hurte not the fayth by any supersticion nor be contrary to the worde of god maye be suffred vntyll the daye starre of truthe be more and more yet sprongen and gyue vs lyghte albeit I wote not whether some suche may be founde to be tolerated for a tyme for charities sake But thus do I beleue that by the same mastres teacher euen charite say I syth suche ceremonies can not be vsed and stande without great offēce that then they shulde be abolysshed taken awaye althoughe they reclame and barke agaynst it whiche are of no faythfull mynde For christ forbode not Mary mawdelen to powre forth her oyntmente vpon hym althoughe the couetousnes and infydelite of Iudas dyd swell agaynste it proudlye But the Images whiche stande forth to be worshypped I reaken them not amonge these ceremonies but to be of the noumbre of those thynges whiche dyrectlye fyght agaynst the worde of god But suche as are not setforth to be worshipped or where there is no perell that they shulde in tyme to come be worshypped so farre of am I that I wold dampne them that I aknowlege that science and crafte in paintyng and karuynge to be the verye gyftes of God ¶ The .x. article For the tenth I beleue the offyce of interpretynge scriptures or preachyng to be right holye as an offyce among all to be moste necessarye For to speake orderly we se amonge all men the outwarde prechīg of the apostles and Euangelistes or byssoppes to haue had gone before the fayth which fayth we ascribe onely vnto the holy goste For we se ahlasse a great manye hearynge the outwarde preachynge of the gospell but they beleue it not which cōmeth for lacke of the spirit whyther so euer therfore these preachers be sent there is it a token of the grace of God that he wyl make the knowlege of hym manifeste vnto his electe and chosen And vnto whom these preachers be denyed there is it an euydēt token of his wrath to be at hande as euery mā maye gather of the prophetes and of the example of Paule whiche was somtyme forboden to go to some men in the meane reason called and sent to other men Yea both lawes and prynces may haue no greater a presente healpe to defende the cōmon iustyce then by preachynge For in vayne is it commaunded that that iuste is vnlesse they vnto whom it is cōmaunded haue a consyderacion of that at Iust is and so loue equyte mynister the same And vnto this loue and consideracion do the preachers as mynisters prepare excyte mennes hartes but the spirite is as the auctor both of the teacher also of the hearer These maner of mynisters which teache comforte fere take cure faythfullye ouerseyng and visitynge the people of Christe with the worde we acknowlege reuerēce and embrase But this offyce whiche baptiseth and in the supper do heare aboute distrybute the body and bloude of the Lorde for thus we call the holy breade and wyne of the supper euen the thyng signyfied for the sygne visyte the sike and fede the pore with thy ryches and in the name of the congregacion ye and these mynisters also whiche reade interprete scriptures teache and instruct other or professe that they them selues or other myghte be so enformed and taught that in tyme to come may be very pastours and trewe curates ouer the cōgregacion we loue reuerence and kysse But as for these myterd mynisters and crosyerde cl●rkes whiche rablemēt is borne to consume and deuour fruites we beleue that they be vnprofytable dunge sakes and dyrtie burdēs of the earth and to be euen the very same in the body of the church that they deforme croked būches crouched shulders vpon a mās bak ¶ The .xi. article For the .xi. article I knowe that Prynces rulers iustly consecrated and promoued vnto theyr offyce to syt in the stede of God no lesse thē do the preachers For as the precher is the mynister of the celestial wysdome and goodnes as he that shulde teache faythfully and brīg forth errours into lyghte to be knowen euen so is the prynce or ruler the mynister of goodnes and iustyce Of goodnes as when with faythfulnes modestlye lyke god he both heareth delybreth with coūcel vpon the causes of his subiectes Of iustyce as when he breaketh the audacite of the wycked and defendeth the innocentes These gyftes yf a prynce once haue them I beleue his cōsciēce can feare nother enemy nor nothynge els But yf he wante them albeit he shewe hymselfe terrible be dreaded yet beleue I y t in nowyse can his consciēce be absolued that he be dewlye consecrated and put in the offyce Notwithstādyng yet beleue I that a christen man oughte to obeye suche maner a
