For what saith the Scripture Abraham Rom. 4. 3. believed God and it was counted to him for righteousness Even as David declareth the blessedness of the man unto whom God emputeth Vers 6. righteousness without works saying Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven Vers 7. and whose sins are covered 5. And sanctified And he put no difference between us and Acts 15. 19. them after that by faith he had purified their hearts But ye are of him in Christ Jesus who of Cor. 1. 30. God is made unto us wisdom and righteousness and sanctification and redemption The fifth Principle Q. VVhat are the ordinary or usual means for obtaining of faith A. Faith cometh onely by the preaching of the VVord and increaseth daily by it as also by the administration of the S●craments and Prayer 1. Faith cometh onely by the preaching of the Word and increaseth daily by it But how shall they call on him in whom Rom. 10. 14. they have not believed and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard and how shall they hear without a Preacher Where there is no vision the people decay but he that keepeth the Law is blessed Prov. 29. 19. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge Hos 4. 6. because thou hast refused knowledge I will also refuse thee that thou shalt be no Priest to me and seeing thou hast for gotten the Law of thy God I will also forget thy children 2. As also by the administration of the Sacraments After he received the sign of circumcision Rom. 4. 31. as the seal of the righteousness of faith which he had when he was uncircumcised that he should be the father of all them that believe not being circumcised that righteousness might be imputed to them also Moreover brethren I would not that 1 Cor. 10. 1. ye should be ignorant that all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the Sea c. 3. And Prayer For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved The sixth Principle Q. What is the state of all men after death A. All men shall rise again with their own bodies to the last judgement which being ended the godly shall possess the kingdom of Heaven but unbelievers and reprobates shall be in hell tormented with the devil and his angels for ever 1. All men shall rise again with their own bodies Marvel not at this for the hour shall Joh. 5. 28. come in the which all that are in the grave shall hear his voice And they shall come forth that have done Vers 29. good unto the resurrection of life but they that have done evil unto the resurrection of condemnation 2. To the last Judgement For God will bring every work unto judgement with every secret thing whether Eccl. 12. 14. it be good or evil But I say unto you that of every idle M●t. 12. 36. word that men shall speak they shall give an account thereof at the day of Judgment 3. Which being ended the godly c. And del vered just Lot vexed with the unclean conversation of the wicked And the Lord said unto him Go through Ezek. 9. 4. the midst of the City even through the midst of the City even through the midst of Jerusalem and set a mark upon the foreheads of them that mourn and cry out for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof 4. Shall possess the Kingdom of God Then shall the King say to them on the Mat. 25. 34. right hand Come ye blessed of my Father inherit ye the Kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world 5. But unbelievers and reprobates shall be in hell tormented with the devil and his angels Then shall he say unto them on the left Vers 41. hand Depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels The Scriptures for proof were onely quoted by the Author to move thee to search them the words themselves I have expressed at the earnest request of many that thou mayest more easily learn them if yet thou wilt be ignorant thy malice is evident if thou gainest knowledge give God the glory in doing of his will Thine T. S. THE EXPOSITION OF THE SIX PRINCIPLES The first Principle expounded Question WHat is God A. God is a Joh. 4. 24. a Spirit or spiritual substance most wise most holy eternal infinite Q. How do you perswade your self that there is a God A. Besides the Testimony of the Scripture plain reason will shew it Q. What is one reason A. When I consider b Rom. 1. 20. Acts 14. 17. the wonderful frame of the world me thinks the silly creatures that be in it could never make it neither could it make it self and therefore besides all these the Maker of it must needs be God Even as when a man comes into a strange country and sees fair and sumptuous buildings and yet finds no living creatures there besides birds and beasts he wil not imagine that either birds or beasts reared those buildings but he presently conceives that some men either are or have been there Q. What other reason have you A. c Rom. 2. 15. Gen. 3. 8 10. 12. 24. A man that commits any sin as murther fornication adultery blasphemy c. albeit he doth so conceal the matter that no man living know of it yet oftentimes he hath a griping in his conscience and feels the very flashing of hell fire which is a strong reason to shew that there is a God before whose Judgement seat he must answer for his fact Q. How many Gods are there A. No d 1 Cor. 8. 6. more but one Q. How do you conceive this one God in your minde A. Not e Deut. 4. 16. Amos 4. 13. by framing any image of him in my minde as ignorant folk do that think him to be an old man sitting in heaven but I conceive him by his properties and works Q. What be his chief properties A. First he is f Job 2. 13. most wise understanding all things aright and knowing the reason of them Secondly he is g Isa 6. 3. Exod. 20. 5 6. most holy which appeareth in that he is most just and merciful unto his creatures Thirdly he is h Isa 41. 4. eternal without either beginning or end of days Lastly he is i Psal 139. 12. infinite both because he is present in all places and because he is of power sufficient to do whatsoever he k Job 9. 4. Deu. 10. 17. will Q. What be works of God A. l Jer. 10. 12. Psal 33. 6. The creation of the world and of every thing therein and the preservation of them being created by his special providence Q. How know you that God governeth every particular thing in the world by his special providence A. To omit the m
