of flesh at certaine times and daies appointed they are no waies meant to be religious fasts nor intended for the maintenance of any superstition in the choice of meates but are grounded meerly vpon politicke considerations for prouision of things tending to the better preseruation of the Common-wealth article 51 We must not fast with this perswasion of mind that our fasting can bring vs to heauen or ascribe holinesse to the outward work wrought For God alloweth not our fast for the work sake which of it selfe is a thing meerly indifferent but chiefly respecteth the heart how it is affected therein It is therfore requisit that first before all things we cleanse our hearts from sin and then direct our fast to such ends as God will allow to be good that the flesh may therby be chastised the spirit may be more feruent in prayer that our fasting may be a testimonie of our humble submission to Gods Maiestie when we acknowledge our sins vnto him and are inwardly touched with sorrowfulnesse of heart bewailing the same in the affliction of our bodies article 52 All worship deuised by mans phantasie besides or contrary to the Scriptures as wandring on Pilgrimages setting vp of Candles Stations and Iubilies Pharisaicall sects and fained Religions praying vpon Beades and such like superstition hath not onely no promise of reward in Scripture but contrariwise threatnings and maledictions article 53 All manner of expressing God the Father the Sonne and the holy Ghost in an outward forme is vtterly vnlawfull As also all other Images deuised or made by man to the vse of Religion article 54 All religious worship ought to bee giuen to God alone from whom all goodnesse health and grace ought to be both asked and looked for as from the very author and giuer of the same and from none other article 55 The name of God is to be vsed with all reuerēce and holy respect and therefore all vaine and rash swearing is vtterly to bee condemned Yet notwithstanding vpon lawfull occasions an oath may bee giuen and taken according to the Word of God iustice iudgement and truth article 56 The first day of the weeke which is the Lords day is wholly to bee dedicated to the seruice of God and therefore we are bound therein to rest from our common and daily businesse and to bestow that leisure vpon holy exercises both publicke and priuate Of the ciuill Magistrate article 57 THe Kings Maiestie vnder God hath the Soueraigne and chiefe power within his Realmes and Dominions ouer all manner persons of what estate eyther Ecclesiasticall or Ciuill soeuer they bee so as no other forraine power hath or ought to haue any superiority ouer them article 58 Wee doe professe that the supreame gouernement of all estates within the said Realmes and Dominions in all causes as well Ecclesiasticall as Temporall doth of right appertaine to the kings highnesse Neither do we giue vnto him hereby the administration of the Word Sacraments or the power of the Keyes but that prerogatiue only which we see to haue beene alwaies giuen vnto all godly Princes in holy Scripture by God himselfe that is that hee should containe all estates and degrees committed to his charge by God whether they be Ecclesiasticall or Ciuill within their duety and restraine the stubborne and euill doers with the power of the Ciuill sword article 59 The Pope neither of himselfe nor by any authority of the Church or See of Rome or by any other meanes with any other hath any power or authority to depose the King or dispose any of his Kingdomes or Dominions or to authorise any other Prince to inuade or annoy him or his Countries or to discharge any of his subiects of their allegeance and obedience to his Maiestie or to giue licence or leaue to any of them to beare armes raise tumult or to offer any violence or hurt to his Royall person state or gouernment or to any of his subiects within his Maiesties Dominions article 60 That Princes which be excommunicated or depriued by the Pope may be deposed or murthered by their subiects or any other whatsoeuer is impious doctrine article 61 The lawes of the Realme may punish Christian men with death for heynous and grieuous offences article 62 It is lawfull for Christian men at the commandement of the Magistrate to beare armes and to serue in iust wars Of our duty towards our Neighbours article 63 OVr duety towards our neighbours is to loue them as our selues and to doe to all men as we would they should doe to vs to honour obey our Superiors to preserue the safetie of mens persons as also their chastity goods and good names to beare no malice nor hatred in our hearts to keep our bodies in temperance sobernesse chastity to be true and iust in all our doings not to couet other mens goods but labour truely to get our owne liuing and to doe our duety in that estate of life vnto which it pleaseth God to call vs. article 64 For the preseruation of the chastity of mens persons wedlocke is commanded vnto all men that stand in need thereof Neither is there any prohibition by the Word of God but that the Ministers of the Church may enter into the state of Matrimony they being no where commanded by Gods Law either to vow the estate of single life or to abstaine from marriage Therefore it is lawfull also for them as well as for all other Christian men to marry at their owne discretion as they shall iudge the same to serue better to godlinesse article 65 The riches and goods of Christians are not common as touching the right title and possession of the same as certaine Anabaptists falsly affirme Notwithstanding euery man ought of such things as hee possesseth liberally to giue almes to the poore according to his ability article 66 Faith giuen is to be kept euen with Hereticks and Infidels article 67 The Popish doctrine of Equiuocation mentall Reseruation is most vngodly and tendeth plainly to the subuersion of all humane society Of the Church and outward Ministry of the Gospell article 68 THere is but one Catholike Church out of which there is no saluation containing the vniuersall company of all the Saints that euer were are or shall be gathered together in one body vnder one head Christ Iesus part whereof is already in Heauen triumphant part as yet militant here vpon earth And because this Church consisteth of all those and those alone which are elected by God vnto saluation regenerated by the power of his spirit the number of whom is knowne only vnto God himselfe therefore it is called the Catholike or vniuersall and the Inuisible Church article 69 But particular visible Churches consisting of those who make profession of the faith of Christ liue vnder the outward means of saluation be many in number wherein the more or lesse sincerely according to Christs institution the Word of God is taught the Sacraments
