him article 86 There be two Sacraments ordained of Christ our Lord in the Gospell that is to say Baptisme and the Lords Supper article 87 Those fiue which by the Church of Rome are called Sacraments to wit Confirmation Penance Orders Matrimony and Extreame Vnction are not to be accounted Sacraments of the Gospell being such as haue partly growne from corrupt imitation of the Apostles partly are states of life allowed in the Scriptures but yet haue not like nature of Sacraments with Baptisme and the Lords Supper for that they haue not any visible signe or ceremonie ordained of God together with a promise of sauing grace annexed thereunto article 88 The Sacraments were not ordained of Christ to be gazed vpon or to be carried about but that we should duely vse them And in such onely as worthily receiue the same they haue a wholesome effect and operation but they that receiue them vnworthily therby draw iudgement vpon themselues Of Baptisme article 89 BAptisme is not only an outward signe of our profession and a note of difference whereby Christians are discerned from such as are no Christians but much more a Sacrament of our admission into the Church sealing vnto vs our new birth and consequently our Iustification Adoption and Sanctification by the communion which we haue with Iesus Christ article 90 The Baptisme of Infants is to bee retained in the Church as agreeable to the Word of God article 91 In the administration of Baptisme Exorcisme Oile Salt Spittle and superstitious hallowing of the Water are for iust causes abolished and without them the Sacrament is fully and perfectly administred to all intents and purposes agreeable to the institution of our Sauiour Christ Of the Lords Supper article 92 THe Lords Supper is not onely a signe of the mutuall loue which Christians ought to beare one towards another but much more a Sacrament of our preseruation in the Church sealing vnto vs our spirituall nourishment and continuall growth in Christ article 93 The change of the substance of Bread and Wine into the substance of the Body and Bloud of Christ commonly called Transubstantiation cannot bee proued by holy Writ but is repugnant to plaine testimonies of the Scripture ouerthroweth the nature of a Sacrament and hath giuen occasion to most grosse Idolatrie and manifold superstitions article 94 In the outward part of the holy Communion the Body and Bloud of Christ is in a most liuely manner represented being no otherwise present with the visible elements than things signified and sealed are present with the signes and seales that is to say symbolically and relatiuely But in the inward and spirituall part the same Bodie and Bloud is really and substantially presented vnto all those who haue grace to receiue the Sonne of God euen to all those that beleeue in his Name And vnto such as in this manner doe worthily and with Faith repaire vnto the Lords Table the Bodie and Bloud of Christ is not only signified and offered but also truely exhibited and communicated article 95 The Bodie of Christ is giuen taken and eaten in the Lords Supper only after an heauenly and spirituall manner and the meane whereby the Body of Christ is thus receiued eaten is Faith article 96 The wicked and such as want a liuely faith although they doe carnally and visibly as Saint Augustine speaketh presse with their teeth the Sacrament of the body and bloud of Christ yet in no wise are they made partakers of Christ but rather to their condemnation do eate and drinke the signe or Sacrament of so great a thing article 97 Both the parts of the Lords Sacrament according to Christs institution the practice of the ancient Church ought to bee ministred vnto all Gods people and it is plaine sacriledge to rob them of the mysticall cup for whom Christ hath shed his most precious bloud article 98 The Sacrament of the Lords Supper was not by Christs ordinance reserued carried about lifted vp or worshipped article 99 The sacrifice of the Masse wherein the Priest is said to offer vp Christ for obtaining the remission of paine or guilt for the quick and the dead is neither agreeable to Christs ordinance nor grounded vpon doctrine Apostolike but contrariwise most vngodly most iniurious to that all-sufficient sacrifice of our Sauiour Christ offered once for euer vpon the Crosse which is the onely propitiation and satisfaction for all our sinnes article 100 Priuate Masse that is the receiuing of the Eucharist by the Priest alone without a competent number of communicants is contrary to the institution of Christ Of the state of the soules of men after they be departed out of this life together with the generall Resurrection and the last Iudgement article 101 AFter this life is ended the soules of Gods children be presently receiued into Heauen there to enioy vnspeakeable comforts the soules of the wicked are cast into Hell there to endure endlesse torments The Doctrine of the Church of Rome article 102 concerning Limbus Patrum Limbus Puerorum Purgatorie Prayer for the dead Pardons Adoration of Images and Reliques and also Inuocation of Saints is vainly inuented without all warrant of holy Scripture yea and is contrary to the same article 103 At the end of this world the Lord Iesus shall come in the clouds with the glory of his Father at which time by the almighty power of God the liuing shall be changed and the dead shall be raised and all shall appeare both in body and soule before his iudgement seate to receiue according to that which they haue done in their bodies whether good or euill article 104 When the last iudgement is finished Christ shall deliuer vp the Kingdome to his Father and God shall be all in all The Decree of the Synod IF any Minister of what degree or quality soeuer hee be shall publikely teach any doctrine contrary to these Articles agreed vpon If after due admonition he doe not conforme himselfe and cease to disturbe the peace of the Church let him be silenced and depriued of all spirituall promotions he doth enioy FINIS

faith of eternall saluation to bee enioyed through Christ as because it doth feruently kindle their loue towards God and on the contrary side for curious and carnall persons lacking the spirit of Christ to haue continually before their eies the sentence of Gods predestination is very dangerous article 17 We must receiue Gods promises in such wise as they be generally set forth vnto vs in holy Scripture and in our doings that will of God is to be followed which wee haue expresly declared vnto vs in the Word of God Of the creation and gouernment of all things article 18 IN the beginning of time when no creature had any being God by his word alone in the space of sixe dayes created all things and afterwards by his prouidence doth continue propagate and order them according to his owne will article 19 The principall creatures are Angels Men. article 20 Of Angels some continued in that holy state wherein they were created and are by Gods grace for euer established therein others fell from the same and are reserued in chaines of darknesse vnto the iudgement of the great day article 21 Man being at the beginning created according to the Image of God which consisted especially in the Wisedome of his minde and the true Holinesse of his free-will had the couenant of the Law ingrafted in his heart whereby God did promise vnto him euerlasting life vpon condition that he performed entire and perfect obedience vnto his Commandements according to that measure of strength wherewith he was endued in his creation and threatned death vnto him if he did not performe the same Of the fall of man originall sinne and the state of man before iustification article 22 BY one man sinne entred into the world and death by sinne and so death went ouer all men for as much as all haue sinned article 23 Originall sinne standeth not in the imitation of Adam as the Pelagians dreame but is the fault and corruption of the nature of euery person that naturally is ingendred and propagated from Adam whereby it commeth to passe that man is depriued of originall righteousnesse and by nature is bent vnto sinne And therefore in euery person borne into the world it deserueth Gods wrath and damnation article 24 This corruption of nature doth remaine euen in those that are regenerated whereby the flesh alwayes lusteth against the spirit and cannot bee made subiect to the Law of God And how soeuer for Christs sake there bee no condemnation to such as are regenerate and doe beleeue yet doth the Apostle acknowledge that in it selfe this concupiscence hath the nature of sinne article 25 The condition of man after the fall of Adam is such that he cannot turne and prepare himselfe by his owne naturall strength and good workes to Faith and calling vpon God Wherefore wee haue no power to doe good works pleasing acceptable vnto God without the grace of God preuenting vs that we may haue a good will and working with vs when we haue that good will article 26 Workes done before the grace of Christ and the inspiration of his spirit are not pleasing vnto God for as much as they spring not of faith in Iesus Christ neither do they make men meet to receiue grace or as the Schoole-Authors say deserue grace of congruity yea rather for that they are not done in such sort as God hath willed and commanded them to be done we doubt not but they are sinfull article 27 All sinnes are not equall but some far more heynous than others yet the very least is of its owne nature mortall and without Gods mercie maketh the offendor lyable vnto euerlasting damnation article 28 God is not the Author of sinne howbeit he doth not onely permit but also by his prouidence gouerne order the same guiding it in such sort by his infinite wisedome as it turneth to the manifestation of his owne glory and to the good of his Elect. Of Christ the mediator of the second Couenant article 29 THe Son which is the Word of the Father begotten from euerlasting of the Father the true and eternall God of one substance with the Father tooke mans nature in the womb of the blessed Virgin of her substance so that two whole and perfect natures that is to say the Godhead and Manhood were inseparably ioyned in one person making one Christ very God and very man article 30 Christ in the truth of our nature was made like vnto vs in all things sinne only excepted from which he was clearly voide both in his life in his nature He came as a Lambe without spot to take away the sins of the world by the sacrifice of himselfe once made and sin as S. Iohn saith was not in him He fulfilled the Law for vs perfectly For our sakes he endured most grieuous torments immediatly in his soule and most painfull sufferings in his body He was crucified and died to reconcile his Father vnto vs and to be a sacrifice not only for originall guilt but also for all our actuall transgressions He was buried and descended into hell and the third day rose from the dead and tooke againe his body with flesh bones and all things appertaining to the perfection of mans nature wherewith he ascended into Heauen and there sitteth at the right hand of his Father vntill he returne to iudge all men at the last day Of the communicating of the grace of Christ article 31 THey are to be condemned that presume to say that euery man shall bee saued by the law or sect which he professeth so that he be diligent to frame his life according to that law and the light of nature For holy Scripture doth set out vnto vs onely the name of Iesus Christ whereby men must be saued article 32 None can come vnto Christ vnlesse it bee giuen vnto him and vnlesse the Father draw him And all men are not so drawne by the Father that they may come vnto the Sonne Neither is there such a sufficient measure of grace vouchsafed vnto euery man whereby hee is enabled to come vnto euerlasting life article 33 All Gods elect are in their time inseparably vnited vnto Christ by the effectuall and vitall influence of the holy Ghost deriued from him as from the head vnto euery true member of his mysticall body And being thus made one with Christ they are truely regenerated and made partakers of him and all his benefits Of Iustification and Faith article 34 WE are accounted righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ applyed by faith and not for our owne workes or merits And this righteousnesse which we so receiue of Gods mercy and Christs merits imbraced by faith is taken accepted and allowed of God for our perfect and full iustification article 35 Although this iustification be free vnto vs yet it commeth not so freely vnto vs that there is no ransome paid therfore at all God shewed his great mercy
