A76705	A twofold catechism: the one simply called A Scripture-catechism; the other, A brief Scripture-catechism for children. Wherein the chiefest points of the Christian religion, being question-wise proposed, resolve themselves by pertinent answers taken word for word out of the Scripture, without either consequences or comments. Composed for their sakes that would fain be meer Christians, and not of this or that sect, inasmuch as all the sects of Christians, by what names soever distinguished, have either more or less departed from the simplicity and truth of the Scripture. By John Biddle, Master of Arts of the University of Oxford.	Biddle, John, 1615-1662.	1654 (1654)	Wing B2882; Thomason E1473_2; ESTC R209511	54,377	175

32. Qu. You have already shewed that Christ was like unto Moses in seeing God and hearing from him the things which he spake But Moses exceeded all other Prophets likewise in that he onely was a law-giver Was Christ therefore like unto Moses in giving a law also and is there any mention of his law A.

Doth not Christ then partly perfect partly correct the law of Moses What is the determination of Christ himself concerning this matter A. Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time Thou shalt not kill and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgement But I say unto you That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgement and whosoever shall say unto his brother Raka shall be in danger of the councel but whosoever shall say Thou fool shall be in danger of hell-fire Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time Thou shalt not commit adultery But I say unto you That whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart It hath been said Whosoever shall put away his wife let him give her a writing of divorcement But I say unto you That whosoever shall put away his wife saving for the cause of fornication causeth her to commit adultery and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery Again ye have heard that it hath been said to them of old time Thou shalt not forswear thy self but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths But I say unto you Swear not at all neither by heaven for it is Gods throne Nor by the earth for it is his footstool neither by Jerusalem for it is the city of the great King Neither shalt thou swear by thy head because thou canst not make one hair white or black But let your communication be Yea yea nay nay for whatsoever is more then these cometh of evil Ye have heard that it hath been said An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth But I say unto you That ye resist not evil but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also And if a man will sue thee at the law and take away thy coat let him have thy cloke also And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile go with him twain Give to him that asketh thee and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away Ye have heard that it hath been said Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hath thine enemy But I say unto you Love your enemies bless them that curse you do good to them that hate you and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust Matth. 5. 21 22 27 28 c. Qu. You have made it plainly to appear that the law of faith or the new covenant whereof Christ was the Mediator is better then the law of works or the old covenant whereof Moses was the Mediator in respect of precepts is it also better in respect of promises A. He hath obtained a more excellent ministry by how much he is the Mediator of a better covenant which was established upon better promises Heb. 8. 6. The law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope did Heb. 7. 19. Qu. Were those better promises of God touching eternal life and immortality hidden in the dark and not brought to light under the law A.

Though the promises of the Gospel be better then those of the law yet are they not as well as those of the law proposed under conditions of faith and perseverance therein of holiness and obedience of repentance of suffering for Christ and his truth c How speaketh the Scripture hereupon A. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life For God so loved the World that he gave his onely begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the onely-begotten Son of God He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him Joh. 3. 14 15 16 18 36. Then said Jesus to the Jews that believed on him If ye continue in my word then are ye my disciples indeed Joh. 8. 31. We are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast to the end Heb. 2. 14. But Christ as a Son over his own house whose house we are If we hold fast the confidence and the rejoyoing of the hope firm unto the end Heb. 3. 6. If a man purge himself from these he shall be a vessel unto honour 2 Tim. 2. 21. If ye live after the flesh ye shall die but if ye through the Spirit mortifie the deeds of the body ye shall live Rom. 8. 13. Repent ye therefore and be converted that your sins may be blotted out Act. 3. 19. Remember from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works or else I will come unto thee quickly and will remove thy candlestick out of his place except thou repent Rev. 2. 5. Repent or else I will come unto thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth Rev. 2. 16. If ye know these things happie are ye if ye do them Joh. 13. 17. Whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doth them I will shew you to whom he is like He is like a man which built a house and digged deep and laid the foundation on a rock But he that heareth and doth not is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth Luk. 6. 47 48 49. If we suffer we shall also raign with him if we deny him he will also deny us 2 Tim. 2. 12. If children then heirs heirs of God and joynt-heirs of Christ if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together Rom. 8. 17. CHAP. IX Of Remission of sins by Christ. Qu.

us or on the contrary to reconcile and bring us to God A. When we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son Rom. 5. 10.

God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself 2 Cor. 5. 19. Christ hath once suffered for sins the just for the unjust that he might bring us to God 1 Pet. 3. 18. Qu. For whom did Christ die A. We thus judge that if one died for all then were all dead And that he died for all that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves but unto him which died for them and rose again 2 Cor. 5. 14 15. There is one Mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus Who gave himself a ransome for all to be testified in due time 1 Tim. 2. 5 6. We see Jesus who was made a little lower then the angels for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honour that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man Heb. 2. 9. I am the living bread which came down from heaven if any man eat of this bread he shall live for ever and the bread that I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world Joh. 6. 51.

Ye who were sometimes far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ For he is our peace who hath made both one and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us Having abolished in his flesh the law of commandments in ordinances for to make in himself of twain one new man so making peace And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross having slain the enmity thereby Eph. 2. 13 14 15 16. It pleased the Father that in him all fulness should dwell And having made peace through the blood of his cross by him to reconcile all things to himself or rather for him by him I say whether they be things in earth or things in heaven And you that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your minde by wicked works yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death Col. 1. 20 21 22. CHAP. XIII Of the Universality of Gods love Qu. THose Scriptures which you have already alleadged when I enquired for whom Christ died intimate the universality of Gods love to men yet sorasmuch as this is a point of the greatest importance without the knowledge and belief whereof we cannot have any true and solid ground of coming unto God because if he from all eternity intended good onely to a few and those few are not set down in the Scriptures which were written that we through comfort of them might have hope Rom. 15. 4. no man can certainly yea probably infer that he is in the number of those few the contrary being ten thousand to one more likely what other clear tassages of Scripture have you which shew that God in sending Christ and proposing the Gospel aimed not at the salvation of a certain elect number but of men in general A. God so loved the world that he gave his onely-begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved Joh. 3. 16 17. The bread of God is he which cometh down from heaven and giveth life to the world Joh. 6. 33. Now we believe not because of thy saying for we have heard him our selves and know that this is indeed the Christ the Saviour of the world Joh. 4. 42. We have seen and do testifie that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world 1 Joh. 4. 14. I am come a light into the world that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness And if any man hear my words and believe not I judge him not for I came not to judge the world but to save the world Joh. 12. 46 47. Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be condemned Mark 16. 15 16. If ye continue in the faith grounded and setled and be not moved away from the hope of the Gospel which ye have heard and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven whereof I Paul am made a minister Col. 1. 22. We preach warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus Col. 1. 28. I exhort that supplications prayers intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour WHO WILL HAVE ALL MEN TO BE SAVED AND TO COME UNTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH 1 Tim. 2. 1 3 4. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some men count slackness but is long-suffering to us-ward NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE 2 Pet. 3. 9. God was in Christ reconciling the world to himself not imputing their trespasses to them 2 Cor. 5. 19.
