other abhominations where as Christ only and soly dooth sanctifice as it apperyd Ioan. 17. lik wice by the title that Pilate gaue him hanging upon the crosse Withe these wordes Iesus Nazarenus rex IudaeoruÌ„ This title declarith him to be bothe Moshia he sauior and Noser the protector and sanctifier of his church as Math. saith ca. 2. Nazareus uocabitur This office of Christ doth abrogate all other thinges that mannes coÌ„stitutions attribute ony holynis unto as be wychyd water Candellis bowes or ony souch Ethnick supersticion For only Christ sanctifieth and all holynis we must attribut unto hym As Iohan sayd Ecce agnus dei qui tollit peccata mundi Iohan. 1. behold the lamme of god To saye destenyd and appoyntid by god to take awai the sinne of the world and to sanctifie his churche althowgh baptisme be Ã sacrameÌ„t to be receauid and honorable usyd of all meÌ„ yet it sanctifiet noman and souch as attribut the remission of sinne unto the externall signe dooth offend Iohan Matth. 3. preachid penitence in the desert and remission of sinne in Christ souch as confessid ther fawtes he markyd and declaryd theÌ„ to be of Christes churche so that externall baptisme was but an in auguracion or externall coÌ„secracioÌ„ of these that first belyuyd and were clensid of there sinne as he declarith him selfe in the same place Ego inquit baptizo aqua I Chrtstine withe water as towgh he sayd My baptisme makith NomaÌ„ the Better inwardly it changith noman But I call aÌ„d preach to the utward ere I exhort unto penence And souch as say they do repent and wold change the old synfull lieff I way shwith water he that inwardly clensith is stronger then I. his grace it is only that purifieth the soule I baptise in penence to say into Ã new lieff This new lieff coÌ„mith not untill souch time as Christ be knowen and receauyd now to put on Christ is to lyue Ã new lieff souch as be baptisyd must remembre that penenc and fayth presedyd this external signe and in Christ the purgacion was inwardely optaynyd before the externall signe was yeuen So that there is too kindes of baptisme and booth necessari the one interiour whiche is the clensing of the hart the drawyng of the father the operacion of the holy goost and this baptisme is in manwheÌ„ he belyuith and trustith that Christ is the only auctor of his saluacion thus be the infantes examinyd conserning repentanc and fayth before they be baptisyd with water at the contemplacion of the which faith God purchith tha soule then is the extereor signe addyd not to purch the hart but to confirm manifest and open unto the worold that this chyld is godes and likwyce baptisme with the Repition of the wordes is Ã uery sacrament and signe that the baptisyd creature shuld dy from synne all his lyffe as Paule wrytithe Roma 6. likewyce noman shuld condemne nor neglect this exterior signe for the commaundementes sake thowghe it haue no pore to purche from sinne yeat it confirmith the purgation of sinne and the Act of it self pleasith god for because the receauers therof obey the will of his commaundement Like as the Kynges maiestie that now is immediatly aster the deathe of his father was the trewe and legittyme Kyng of Inglond right heyre unto the crowne and receauid his coronacion not to make hym self there by Kyng but to manifest that the Kyngdom apperteynid unto hym before he takith the crowne to confirm his right and title had all inglond sayd nay and by forse contrary unto godes lawes and manns lawes with an exteriour ceremony and pompe crownid ony other man he shuld haue byn an adulterous and wronge King with all his solemnites and coronation Thowgh this ceremony coÌ„firm and manifest Ã King in his Kyngdom yet it makith not Ã Kingâ— But the lawes of God and of the land that yeuith by succession the right of the Kyngdom to the old Kynges first here male in Englond an other Realmes And the babe in the cradell hath as godd right and cleame and is as trew Ã Kyng in his cradell uncrownid as his father was thowgh he reygnid Ã crownid Kyng xl yers and this right of the babe shuld be defendid and manifestid not only by the ceremony of coronation but with all obedieÌ„ce and trew subiection So is it in the church of Christ man is made the brother of Christ and heyre of eternall lief by godes only mercye receuid by faythe before he receaue ony ceremony to confirm and manifest opeÌ„ly his right and title he sayth he belyuith in the father the son and the holi gost and beliuith he saith the remission of sinne Dooth not only deny the deuill the worold and sinne but sayth he will for sake hym for euer and serue his master the lord of uertewe Kyng of heuen and Erth. thus assurid of god and clensid from sinne in Christ He hathe the lyuerye of god yeuen unto hym baptisme the which no Christiane shuld neglect and yet not attribut his sanctification unto the externall signe as the Kynges maiestie may not attribut his right unto the crowne but unto god and uÌ„to his father who hathe not onli yeuen hym grace to be born into the world but also to gouern as Ã kyng in the worold who is right and Title the crowne coÌ„firmyth and shewithe the same unto all the worold Where as this right by God and naturall succession presedith not the coronacion the ceremony auaylith nothing Ã treatur may receaue the crowne and yet trew kyng nothing the rather so an Hypocrite and infidell may reeeue the externall signe of baptisme and yet no christiane man nothing the rather as Simon Magus and other Sacramentes must be usid holyly and yet not to haue the office of Christ addid unto theÌ„ soly it is his office to sanctifie aÌ„d purch from sinne Itak nothing from the sacramentes but honor them and extolle them in all thinges as they be worthy How be it not to mouch I call Ã sacrament Ã ceremony institutyd in the law of God to this end that it shuld be Ã testimonye of Godes promisse un ro all souch as belyue and signes of godes godwill and fauor towardes us as Paule saythe that Abraham receauid Ã testimonye by the which God testified that he was receauyd into grace Rom. 4. And as the promys of God the remission of sinne is receauyd by fayth so must these Sacramentes that be signes tokeÌ„s and testimonijs of the promesse be receauid in fayth thus by Christ wear sanctified only And as Peter sayth the people chosen Ã pryncly prished Ã holy people and peculier nacion to declare the pore of hym that hathe callid us frow the darkenis of errour and sinne into his wounder full light these wordes declare the maner how wear sanctified and what our office is affter we be sanctified to preach the pore of hym that hathe callid us from the darknys of sinne as
