by this meanes we draw out of him as out of a fountaine al the spirituall guifts that we haue Pap. To what vse doth the Kingdome of Christ serue vs Pro. To set vs at liberty of Conscience to liue godly and holily that we being inriched with his spirituall blessings and armed with his power may be able to ouercome the Diuell sinne flesh and the world which bee pernicious enemies vnto our soules Pap. What profit haue wee of his Preisthood Pro. First by this meanes he is our mediator to bring vs vnto the fauour of God his father and againe héereby wée haue a frée entry to come in and shew our selues boldly before God to offer vp our selues with all that belongeth vnto vs for a sacrifice and in this point we are fellows after a sort of his Preisthood Pap. The vtility of his office in that hee is a Prophet is yet behind Pro. Since our Lord Iesus hath receiued his office to become the maister and teacher of his flock the end of this diuinity is to bring vs to the right knowledge of the Father and of his truth so that we might become Gods houshould schollers and of his family Pap. Then it is true that a man may breifly gather of the words that this name Christ doth include three sundry offices that God hath giuen vnto his sonne to the intent to bestow the fruit and profit of the same vpon his elect Pro. It is true The seauenth Sunday Pap. By what reason callest thou Christ the onely Sonne of God since God doth name all vs also his Children Pro. As touching that that we are Gods children we are not so of nature but only of his fatherly adoption and by grace in that God doth aceept vs for his Children now our Lord Iesus beeing begotten of the substance of his father and béeing of the selfe same nature may iustly bée called Gods onely sonne for that there is none other that is so by nature Pap. This is then thy meaning that this honour pertaineth peculiarly to him alone as to whom it belongeth of nature the which notwithstanding he hath by free gift of his goodnesse communicated vnto vs in that we are his members Pro. It is euen so and therfore in respect of that his communicating with vs the scripture calleth Christ in an other place the first borne among many brethren Pap. Why callest thou him our Lord Pro. Because he is appointed of the Father to haue Lordship ouer vs and to rule in Heauen and earth and to bee the head of men and Angells Pap. What is the meaning of that which followeth Pro. It declareth after what sort the sonne of God was anoynted of his father to become our Sauiour That is to say he tooke vppon him our flesh and therein fulfilled all things necessary for our redemption according as they bée héere rehearsed Pap. What meanest thou by these two clauses conceiued by the holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Mary Pro. That he was fashioned in the Virgins woombe taking very substance and manner of her that he might therby become the séed of Dauid as the Prophet had before signified and yet notwithstanding all this was wrought by the maruelous and secret power of the holy Ghost without the company of man Pap. What is it then needful that he should take vpon him our very flesh Pro. Yea verily for it was conuenient that mans disobedience against God should be purged in the nature of man And moreouer if Christ had not beene partaker of our nature hee had not beene a meet Mediator to make vs at one with God his Father Pap. Then is this thy saying that it behooueth that Christ should become very man to the end he might execute the office of a Sauiour as in our person Pro. Yea verily for we must borrow of him all that which is lacking in our selues for this our default could not otherwise be remedied Pap. By what cause was this thing wrought by Gods holy spirit and not rather by the company of man according to the order of nature Pro. Because the seed of man is of it selfe altogether corrupted with sinne it behooued that this conception of Christ should be wrought by the power of the holy Ghost whereby our Sauiour might be preserued from all corruption of sinne and replenished with all manner of holinesse Pap. So then by these sayings it is euidently declared vnto vs that he which should purify and clense others from filth of sinne must be himselfe free from al spots thereof and euen from his mothers wombe dedicated vnto God in purenesse of nature so that hee may not be guilty of that corruption wherewith the whole stock of man is infected Pro. I meane so The eight Sunday Pap. Wherefore speakest thou of his death immediatly after his birth and leauest out the whole history of his life Pro. Because there is nothing mentioned or spoken of in our Créed but that which pecularily belongeth to the substance of our redemption Pap. Why is it not said plainly in one word that he dyed without any speaking of Pontius Pilate by whose iudgement he suffered Pro. This was not onely to make the history of Christs passion to haue more euident assurance but also to declare vnto vs that he was cōdemned to death by a Iudge Pap How so Pro. He dyed to suffer the paine that was due vnto vs that we might be thereby deliuered from the same Now for so much as we were guilty before Gods iudgment as wicked misdooers Christ tooke vpon him our persons and vouchsafed to shew himselfe before an earthly Iudge and to bee condemned by his mouth that thereby wée might be declared before the iudgement seat of God Pap. Notwithstanding Pilate doth pronounce him innocent and so by that he doth not condemne him worthy of death Pro. Pilate did both the one and the other First hée was pronounced innocent and iust by the Iudges owne mouth to signifie that he suffered not for his owne desart but for our trespasses and yet withall the same Iudge did giue solemnly the sentence of death against him to testifie and expresse that hee is our true pledge and ransome as hee who also hath taken vnto him our condemnation to deliuer vs from the same Pap. That is well said for if he had beene a sinner indeed hee had not beene meete to haue suffered death for the offences of other and neuerthelesse to the end we might bee cleerely quit by his condemnation it was necessary that hee should be counted as among the wicked Pro. So I meane The ninth Sunday Pap. Where thou sayest Christ suffered on the Crosse was that kinde of death of more importance then if hee had beene otherwise put to death Pro. Yea verily and as touching that matter Saint Paul saith that he was hanged on a tree to the intent that hee might take vpon him our cursse and so discharge vs for that kinde of death was accursed of God Pap. What

inconuenience at all to vnderstand seuerally these three persons in the God-head who not withstanding are one and not thereby deuided Pro. It is euen so Pap. I pray yee make rehearsall of the first part of the Creed Pro. The first part of the Creed I beléeue in God the Father Almighty maker of heauen and earth Pap. Wherefore doost thou call him father Pro. I call him so hauing respect to Iesus Christ who is the euerlasting word begotten of God before all worlds who being afterwards openly shewed vnto the world was euidently declared to bee his sonne Now séeing God is our Sauiour Christs Father it followeth necessarily that he is also our Father Pap. What meanest thou by that thou callest him almighty Pro. What is meant by this word Almighty I meane not onely that he hath a power which he doth not excercise but also that all creatures be in his hand and vnder his gouernance that he disposeth all things by his prouidence That hee ruleth the world as it pleaseth him and guideth all things after his owne good pleasure Pap. The power of God is not Idle So then by thy saying the power of God is not Idle but continually exercised so that nothing is done but by him and by his ordinance Pro. That is most true The fourth Sunday Pap. Wherefore is that clause added maker of heauen and earth Pro. Because he hath made him-selfe knowen vnto vs by his workes it is necessary for vs to séeke him out in them For our capacitie is not able to comprehend his diuine substance A glasse wherein we may see God therefore hee hath made the world as a glasse wherein we may behold him in such sort as it is expedient for vs to know him Pap. Doost thou not comprehend all creatures in these two words Heauen Earth Pro. Yes verily they may be right wel contained vnder these two words séeing that al things be either heauenly or earthly Pap. And why callest thou God onely Creature seeing that to order things and to conserue them alwaies in their state is a thing of much more importance then to haue for one time created them Pro. By this word Creator is not onely meant that God once created them hauing no further regard to them afterwards but we ought to vnderstand that as the world was made of him in the beginning euen so now he doth conserue the same so that heauen and earth with the rest of the creatures could not continue in their state if his power did not preserue them Moreouer séeing in this manner hee doth maintaine all things holding them as it were in his hand it must néeds follow that he hath the rule and gouernance of all Wherefore in that that hee is Creator of heauen and earth it is he that by his goodnesse power and wisdom doth gouerne the whole order of nature It is hee that sendeth raine and drought haile tempest and fayre weather fertility and dearenesse dearth and plenty health and sicknesse and to bee short hee hath all things at commandement to doe him seruice at his owne good pleasure Pap. What sayest thou as touching the diuels and wicked persons be they also subiect to him Pro. Albeit that God doth not guide them with his holy spirit yet he doth bridle them in such sort that they bee not able to stirre or mooue without his permission and appointment yea and moreouer hee doth compell them to execute his will although it bee against their intent and purpose Pap. To what purpose doth it serue thee to know this Pro. The diuell ●ath no ●ower but ●y God The knowledge hereof doth wonderfully comfort vs. For wee might thinke our selues in a miserable case if the diuels and the wicked had power to do any thing contrary to Gods will And moreouer we could neuer be quiet in our consciences if wée should thinke our selues to be in their danger But for so much as we know that God bridleth them fast and chaineth them as it were in a prison in such wise that they can doe nothing but as he permitteth we haue iust occasion not onely to be quiet in minde but also to receiue most comfortable ioy since God hath promised to bee our protector and defendor The fift Sunday Pap. Goe too then let vs come to the second part of our beleefe Pro. The second part of the Creed And in Iesus Christ his onely sonne our Lord. Pap. What is the effect of this part Pro. It is to acknowledge the sonne of God to be our Sauiour and to vnderstand the meanes whereby he hath redéemed vs from death and purchased life vnto vs. Pap. What signifieth this word Iesus by whom thou namest him Pro. It is as much to say as Sauiour and this name was giuen vnto him by the Angell at Gods commandement Pap. What is that of more estimation then if that name had beene giuen him by men Pro. Yea a great deale for since Gods pleasure was that he should be so named he must néeds bee our Sauiour indéed Pap. What signifieth then this word Christ Pro. This word Christ doth expresse more effectually his office and doth giue vs to vnderstand that hee was annointed of his Father King Priest and Prophet Pap. How hast thou the knowledge hereof Pro. By the Scriptures which doe teach vs that annoynting did serue for these officers the which be attributed vnto him in many places of the same Pap. But what manner of oyle was it wherewith he was anointed Pro. It was not such materiall oyle as we vse and as did serue in old time to the ordaining of Kinges Preists and Prophets but a farre more excellent oyle euen the grace of Gods holy spirit whereof the outward anointing in old time was but a figure Pap. What manner of Kingdome is that whereof thou speakest Pro. It is spirituall and doth consist in Gods word and in his holy spirit wherein is contained both righteousnes and life euerlasting Pap. And what is this Preisthood Pro. It is an office and authority to present himselfe before God to obtaine grace and fauour for vs and to pacify his fathers wrath by offering an acceptable sacrifice vnto him Pap. Why callest thou him Prophet Pro. Because that he came downe into the world as chéefe Ambassador of God his Father to declare at large his fathers wil and to finish all reuelations Prophesies The sixt Sunday Pap. Commeth there any profit vnto thee by those names and dignities of Christ Pro Yea they altogether belong to our comfort for Christ did receaue all these of his father to make vs partakers thereof whereby we might euery one receiue of his fulnesse Pap. Declare this thing more at large vnto me Pro. He receiued the holy Ghost in full perfection with all the guifts of the same to bestow them on vs and to distribute vnto euery one of vs in the measure quantity that God knoweth to be most méet and so
