I most firmly receive and embrace the Apostolical and Ecclesiastical * 5 Traditions and all other Customs and Constitutions of the same Church † † Here is begun the principal part of the Roman Creed and the real sense and import of this first Article is I believe in the Pope 2. Also I admit the holy Scripture * 6 in that sense which the holy Mother Church hath held and holdeth to whom it belongs to judge of the true sense and interpretation of the holy Scriptures nor will I ever receive or interpret them but according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers 3. I profess also that there are seven true and proper Sacraments of the new Law instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord for the salvation of Mankind although all are not necessary to each one to wit Order Baptism Comfirmation Eucharist Pennance Extreme Vnction Matrimony and these all give grace and of these Baptism Confirmation and Order cannot be reiterated without Sacriledge 4. I also receive and admit all received and approved Rites of the Catholick Church in the solemn administrations of all the abovesaid Sacraments 5. I also embrace and receive all and several the things * 7 which have been defined and declared in the sacred and holy Synod of Trent concerning Original sin and Justification 6. I also profess that in the Mass there is offered to God a true proper and propitiatory sacrifice for the Living and the Dead and that in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist is contained truly really and substantially the Body and Blood together with the Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ and there is made a perfect change of the whole substance of the Bread into his Body and of the whole substance of the Wine into his Blood which change the Catholick Church calleth Transubstantiation 7. I confess also that whole and entire Christ and the true Sacrament is received under one only species of Bread 8. I constantly hold that there is a Purgatory and that souls there detained are holpen * 8 by the suffrages of the faithful 9. Likewise that the Saints reigning with Christ are to be worshiped and invocated and that they offer prayers * 9 for us to God and that their reliques are to be worshiped 10. I most firmly assert that the Images of Christ the Virgin Mary and of the other Saints are to be had and kept and duty of honour and worship to be given them 11. I also affirm that the power of Indulgences was left in the Church by Christ and that the use of them is most conducive to the salvation * 10 of the Christian people 12. The holy Catholick and Apostolick Church of Rome * 11 I acknowledge to be the Mother and Mistress of all Churches and I vow swear and promise true Obedience to the Bishop of Rome as successor of B. Peter Prince of the Apostles and Vicair of Jesus Christ 13. Also all and whatsoever other things delivered by way of Tradition defined and declared by the holy Canons and the General Councils and chiefly by the sacred and holy Synod of Trent * 12 I undoubtedly receive and profess and together all contrary things and whatsoever heresies by the Church damned rejected and accursed I also damn reject and accurse 14. This true Catholick Faith without which no man can be saved * 13 which at this present I freely profess and truly hold I the same N. do promise vow and swear most constantly God assisting to retain and confess entire and enviolate to the very last gasp of life and to procure as much as shall lie in me that the same be held taught and preached by all my inferiours and by those who are committed to my care and charge So God help me and these holy Gospels of God Farther It is is our will † † This new and voluntary Gospel and Creed having no other foundation than the will and work of Man will dissolve of it self as all other works of men however glorious for a time that these present Letters be read in our Apostolical Chancery according to the custom and that they may be more open to all they shall be writ in the Quintern of our said Chancery and also imprinted Therefore it shall be lawful to no man

Truth to embrace Fables This Pride and Itch were the diseases of the Romish people These heap of Masters were Romish Doctors Canonists and School-men The Truth is the Gospel and the Fables are Romances that is Romish Tenets and Tridentine Articles And although this Apostasie which the Apostle here and 2 Thess 2.3 speaks of was not compleated in the first Centuries of the Christian Church to a notorious degree nor perhaps is yet fully accomplished yet the Apostle there v. 7. witnesseth that even then the mystery of iniquity was a working But in these last days Certes The work is brought to so notorious a Fabrick that he must needs renounce the Principles of Reason and quit all belief in the Scriptures that will not acknowledge the Roman Forgery of a new Gospel which with a monstrous Art was contrived into one frame and body in the Council of Trent out of the chief Romantick pieces that from the beginning Iniquity had wrought on We have a whole world of Testimony but their own solemn confession is the best evidence For Pope Pius the Fourth ad perpetuam rei memoriam to their own eternal confusion by an authentick Bull canonized a certain form of profession of the present Faith of Rome commanding the same to be professed avowed and sworn solemnly by all Ecclesiastick and Religious Professors and by all Proselytes and promoted persons of the Church of Rome as the true Catholick Faith without which no man can be saved Which is the proper and distinctive title and character of a Gospel I commend the Bull it self to your reading I will now First shew the occasion of their creating this New Creed 2. I le give a sum of that Creed 3. I le demonstrate its novelty and contrariety to the Gospel The occasion of this strange production was this The Points of Romish Doctrine dissenting from the Gospel and Testament of Christ were amplified to such a quantity by Bulls Decrees Canons and Schoolmen and imposed so heavily upon the People from Chair and Pulpit that the aggrievance of such doctrine became palpable and notorious to the world especially such learned men as had knowledge of Holy Writ Wherefore many most learned and zealous Christians notwithstanding the Popes terrour and tyranny in the Spirit of Christ Protested against it But the Pope seeing on one side that his Empire could not subsist if his Schoolmens inventions were once annull'd and on the other side knowing that no authority of God either from Scripture or Creed gave warrant or surety to his Doctrine being now invaded most zealously by many Christian Doctors Princes and Nations he herded together that great Synagogue of Schoolmen at Trent all his adjured Vassals all sworn Followers of their respective Leaders and Princes of School-doctrine Alexander H●les Thomas Aquinas John Dunscot and William Occham which are the four Evangelists of School-Gospel in the Church of Rome In this eximious Synagogue of Schoolmen the Mystery of Iniquity first presumed the title of a Gospel that is of the true Catholick Faith without which no man can be saved There Truth long deserted and forsaken began to be solemnly disavowed and forsworn And Fables of Romantick Faith which had long passed for true began to be avowed as the Gospel of Truth There to the Gospel of Jesus Christ is arrogated another Gospel of Rome to the Apostolical Symbol the Roman Creed The Apostolical one consists in 12 short Articles because the Authors thereof summarily delivered what is necessary to believe But that of Rome consists in 14 long Articles because seven Devils that is a sum of Iniquity as Gregory the Great interprets being cast out of Rome when Christianity first took place they entred again with double number and force when Popery made the last things of Rome worse than the first The sum of these 14 Articles follows The First puts generally and indefinitely all the Traditions Customs and Constitutions of the Church of Rome for the foundation and ground of Faith The Second gives the second place to the Scriptures after the pre-eminent authority of Romish Constitutions restraining the Spirit of God speaking in the Hagiographers to the narrow sense and interpretation of Schoolmen The Third loads the Law of Christ with seven Sacraments whereof one to wit Pennance includes within it self a larger Law Creed and Gospel than Christ and all his Apostles ever preached The Fourth is very zealous and puts all the Rites Customs and Ceremonies used by the Church of Rome in her solemn administration of Sacraments among the necessary tenets of Christian Faith The Fifth involves an infinity of Creeds to wit all and several the disputes and points which the Council of Trent was pleased to declare and define concerning the spatious matter of Justification and Original Sin The Sixth makes a full profession of the Sacrifice of the Mass and Transubstantiation The Seventh professeth the Sacrament of the Lords Supper to be perfected under the sign of Bread alone The Eighth holds Purgatory as a Territory subject to the Pope The Ninth holds the Adoration and Worship of Saints and their Reliques The Tenth holds Image-Worship The Eleventh holds Pardons Graces of the Pope and Indulgences as most necessary instruments of Salvation The Twelfth professeth the present Church of Rome to be the Only Holy Catholick and Apostolick Church Mother and Mistress of all other Churches and voweth unlimited Obedience to the Pope as Head thereof The Thirteenth universally and undoubtedly receives and professeth all the Decrees and Declarations of Roman Canons and Councils but above all to wit even the four Primitive Councils whatsoever is delivered defined or declared in the holy and sacred Synod of Trent and rejecteth all things contrary to wit even the Scripture it self The Fourteenth recollecteth all the foresaid Articles and solemnly promiseth voweth and sweareth to maintain and teach them not as Articles of Peace of Obedience of Conformity or Legal Doctrine but as the true Catholick Faith without which no man can be saved Which is the character and essential property of the Gospel of Jesus Christ even in that strict sense we before explicated usurpt by this Scholastick Synagogue of Trent to mysterize and gild Iniquity This is the sum of that Gospel which the present Church of Rome maintains and so from the beginning of my Discourse hitherto I have laid open both Gospels first that of Jesus Christ which consists in believing in Jesus Christ and in keeping his Commandments then That of Christs pretended Vicair the Pope which consists totally in believing the Popes Definitions and in obeying his Precepts He that acknowledgeth not the contradiction and repugnancy of these two Gospels must needs forfeit the esteem of a reasonable man as well as of a right principled Christian Behold their difference from bottom to top The foundation of the one is Jesus Christ which was laid from the beginning and another foundation can no man lay 1 Cor. 3.11 The foundation of the other is Papal
