whilest by the preaching of the Lawe I am brought to the feeeling of my sinnes and raysed vp with the comfortable promises of the Gospel receyued by faith My harte is lightned purified and gouerned by the holy Ghost my will and minde reformed the Image of God renued againe in me 10. Question Why did God regenerate thee and not raither get him selfe glory by condemning thee according to thy sinnes Answeare Although the Lorde might iustly haue condemned all Adams posteritie by reason of their sinnes yet notwithstanding some of them according to his iust iudgementes he leaueth in their owne corruption deuoid of all grace and Vessels of his wrath vnto damnation Othersome he embraceth in his great loue vnto saluation whome hee accepteth in mercy without any deserts of their own Of which number my conscience dooth perswade me that I am one And therefore he hath regenerate me first to declare his great loue mercy euerlasting kindnes towardes me whom he chose in his sonne Christ to saluation And therefore in an happie tyme he hath called me by the preaching of his woord and iustified me by my onely faith in Christes death Secondly that I being thus borne anewe may bring foorth the fruites of righteousnes to glorifie him withall Thirdly that all the end of my regeneration is life euerlasting so at the Lordes good time I may receiue the same among his Saintes 11. Question Shew me what be the meanes wherby thy saluation is wrought Answeare The ordinarie meanes commonly are two that is to say the woorde of God and faith 12. Question What is the woorde of God Answeare It is those Canonicall scriptures written by the spirite of God commended to man both in the olde and newe Testament wherein are conteined all thinges necessarie to our saluation according to the which the Lord will haue all his religion measured without either adding or diminishing 13 Question How canst thou knowe the true religion in so many sundrie opinions of the same as be in the worlde Answeare First I trie the religion taught me by the woorde of God and by his spirite geuen me to vnderstande the same Secondly I knowe this spirite to be a right spirit because it confesseth Christ to be come in the fleshe that is to say ascribeth the whole worke of my saluation to him and to no other thing Thirdly I expounde one place of Scripture as it is not contrarie to another And thus I trie the truth making the worde of GOD to iudge and determine what I ought to followe 14. Question What is the cause why the word of God is preached to many and yet taketh place but in few Answeare The causes are manie first manns owne disobedience and contempt of the worde through want of faith Secondly the malice of Sathan who blindeth and hardeneth the hearts of the vnfaithfull that they shoulde not see and beleeue the truth Thirdly the iust iudgement of God Who because they refuse to receiue and beleeue the truth doth giue them vp into a reprobate minde and sendeth strong delusion among them that as they doe delight in lies and m vnrighteousnesse so the same may be their destruction 15. Question How is the worde of GOD deuided Answeare Into the Lawe and the Gospel 16. Question What is the Lawe Answeare It is the ten commaundementes of God requiring of euerie one most pure perfect and perpetuall obedience promising saluation to them which fulfill the same threatning death and damnation to the transgressours thereof 17. Question Rehearse the same to me Answeare 1 Thou shalt haue none other Gods but me 2 Thou shalt not make to thy selfe any grauen image nor the likenesse of any thing that is in heauen aboue or in the earth beneath or in the waters vnder the earth thou shalt not bowe downe to them nor worship them for I the Lorde thy God am a ielous God and visiteth the iniquities of the fathers vpon the children vnto the thirde and fourth generation of them that hate me and shewe mercie vnto thousandes in them that loue me and keepe my commaundementes 3 Thou shalte not take the name of the Lorde thy God in vaine for the Lord will not holde him guilteles that taketh his name in vayne 4 Remember that thou keepe holy the Sabboth day sixe dayes shalt thou labour and doe all that thou hast to doe but the seuenth day is the Sabboth of the Lorde thy GOD in it thou shalt doe no manner of worke thou and thy sonne and thy daughter thy man seruaunt and thy mayd seruaunt thy cattel the stranger within thy gates for in sixe dayes the Lord made heauen and earth the sea and all that in them is and rested the seuenth day wherefore the Lorde blessed the seuenth day and hallowed it 5 Honour thy father and thy mother that thy dayes may be long in the lande which the Lord thy God geueth thee 6 Thou shalt not kill 7 Thou shalt not commit adulterie 8 Thou shalt not steale 9 Thou shalt not beare false witnesse against thy neighbour 10 Thou shalt not couet thy neighboures house thou shalte not couet thy neighboures wife nor his seruaunt nor his maide nor his Oxe nor his Asse nor any thing that is his 18. Question What sayest thou of the first commaundement Answeare The Lorde therein requireth true obedience to his woorde the feare and loue of his name a sure faith and trust in his promises the right inuocation vppon his name with thankesgeuing for his benefites whereby his true worshippe may be knowen aright whiche thinges as he doth commaunde so doeth he forbidde all manner of superstition and idolatrie the contempt and denial of his woorde the lacke of feare faith and loue towardes him calling vppon other creatures and finally whatsoeuer polluteth his seruice or our consciences in whose presence all our doinges doe appeare 19. Question What sayest thou of the seconde Thou shalt not make c. Answeare God doth therein declare how he wil be worshiped For seeing that his true worship is worke or seruice commaunded in his woord proceeding of faith and tending to his glory as he is a spirite so he will be woorshiped in spirit and truth without any mixture of Idolatrie or superstition And therefore he forbiddeth the making of Images to expresse him by all manner deuotion or reuerence geuing to them eyther in looking at them or in bowing the knee before them in prayer he is the Lorde our God and will not haue his power to be contemned he is ielous ouer vs and will not suffer eyther our soules or bodies to be defiled with any filthinesse of Idolatrie which if we doe he will reuenenge the same to the third and fourth generation Briefly he forbiddeth hereby all representations and tokens of Idolatrie all
