euerlasting Also Math. xviij It is not my fathers will that any of these little ones should perishe Lette Christ therefore be our glasse wherein wee maie beholde our predestinacion wÃ©e shall haue a testimonie plaine and sure inough that wÃ©e are writteÌ„ in the booke of life if wee take parte with Christe and if he be ours and we his knit together with the bondes of true faith when we be tempted about predestinacion TemptatioÌ„s about Predestination then the whiche temptacion there is scase any more daungerous let it be our comforte that Gods promises are generall to the faithfull saiyng Aske and ye shal receiue euery man that asketh receiueth And to coÌ„clude Luke xi lette vs reioyce that with the whole churche of God wee praie Our father whiche art in heauen c. That we are also by Baptisme ingraffed in Christes bodie and fedde in the church oftimes with his flesh and blood to the obtainyng of life euerlastyng With these comfortes we being streÌ„gthened are willed by Paule to worke our saluacion with feare and tremblyng Â¶ Of Iesus Christ true God and perfecte man the onely sauiour of the worlde Chap. 11. WE beleue and teache that the sonne of God our lorde Iesus Christ is true God Christe from the beginnyng was predestinate of his father to bee the sauiour of the worlde and that he was begotte not onely when he tooke fleshe of the virgine Marie and before the foundacioÌ„ of the worlde was laied but euen before all eternitie and that of his Father after an vnspeakeable sort For Esay saith xxxv What man shall declare his generacioÌ„ And Mich. v. His goyng forthe hath been froÌ„ the beginnyng and froÌ„ euerlastyng And Ihon in the Gospell Cha. j. In the beginnyng was the worde the worde was with God and that woorde was GOD. c. Therefore the Sonne touchyng his diuinitie is coequall and of one substaunce with the Father true God not by name or adoption or any dignitie onely but in substaunce and nature as Ihon the Apostle saieth 1. Ioh. 5. This is the true God and life euerlasting and Paule Heb. j. He hath made his sonne heire of all thynges by whoÌ„ he made the worlde beyng the brightnesse of the glorie and the ingraued forme of his persone and bearyng vp all thynges by his mightie worde for in the Gospell the Lorde hymself hath said Glorifie thou me O father with thine owne self with the glorie which Ihon. xvii I had with thee before the world was It is written IhoÌ„ v. That the Iewes sought to kill Christ bicause he called God his father making himself equal with God we deteste therefore the impious doctrine of Arrius and al the Arians Heresies againste the soonne of God but chieflie the blasphemies of Michaell Seruetus a Spaniarde and all that take his parte whiche blasphemies against the sonne of God Satan by theÌ„ hath as it were brought from helle and moste impudentlie and impiously doeth sowe abrode in the worlde Wee beleue also teache that the self same Christ being true man had fleshe also eternall soonne of the eternall God was made the soonne of manne also of the sede of Abraham and Dauid not by carnall copulation as Hebion said but conceiued moste purely of the holy ghoste and borne of Marie who notwithstandyng continued a virgine as The virgin Marie Math. i. Ihon. i. Hebre ii the storie of the Gospell diligently setteth out vnto vs and Paule saieth he chose not Angels but the seede of Abraham Ihon the Apostle likewise saith He that beleueth not that Iesus Christ came in the flesh is not of God The fleshe therfore of Christ was neither fantasticall nor broughte downe from heauen as Valentine and Martion dreamed Furthermore our lorde Iesus Christe had a soule not voide of seÌ„ce reasoÌ„ as Appollinaris thought Iesus Christ had a soule indued with reason neither had he fleshe without a soule as Eunomius taughte but a soule indeed with reason and fleshe with all her senses by the whiche senses he felt and suffered true vnfained tormentes griefes at the time of his passion Mat. xxvi as he hymself saied My soule is verie heauie euen to the death and in Ihon the .xij. Now my soule is troubled c. Wee acknowledge therefore twoo Twoo natures in Christ natures a diuine and humane in our one Lorde Iesus Christe and further saie that thei bee ioyned or knitte together not confounded or mixte but rather that the propertie of their natures remain safe in one persone vnited or ioyned together for that wee worshippe one Christe our Lorde and not twoo I saie one true GOD and true man as touchyng his diuine nature of like substaunce with his father as Heb. 4. touchyng his humanitie of like substaunce with vs menne and like in all poinctes exceptyng synne For as wÃ©e doe abhorre from the Nestorians opinion Heresies makyng twoo of one Christ and breakyng the vnitie of his persone so we willynglie deteste the madnesse of Eutiches and Molothelites or Monophistices who deny the propertie of his humain nature Neither doe we teach that Christe his diuine nature did suffer Christ his diuine nature suffred not neither is his humaine nature euery where or that he as touchyng his humain nature remaineth to this daie on the yearth or that his humanitie is euery where neither do we thinke or teach that Christe had no true bodie after it was glorified or that then it was deified and so deified that it kept not the properties of a bodie and soule or that it was chaunged all together into a diuine nature and begaÌ„ to be onely one substaunce Wherefore we allowe not the fonde foolishe quirkes of Schuenkfeldius Heresies and suche like subtile disputers nor their intricate obscure reasonyng of this matter wherein thei agree not emong them selues Further more we beleue that our Lorde Iesus Christe suffered and died in deede for vs in the fleshe as Peter saieth Wee 1. Pet. 4. Christe touching his humanitie suffred in deede deteste therefore the Iacobits and the Turkes moste impious madnes who abhorre the passion of Christe In the meane while wee denye not but that the Lorde of glorie according to Paules woordes was crucified for vs. For 1. Cor. 2. deuoutlie and reuerentlie wee reade and vse the coÌ„mon propertie of speach drawen out of the scriptures and vsed of all the olde writers in expoundyng and recoÌ„cilyng the places of the scriptures whiche seme to disagree Wee beleue and teache that the same our Lorde Iesus Christe did rise from the dedde in the self same true fleshe in the whiche he was crucified and died and Christe his resurrection that he raised not vp an other bodie in steede of that whiche was buried nor that he became a spirite whereas before he was fleshe but that he kept stil his true bodie Therfore when his disciples thought that thei sawe the spirite of the

18. 19. 2. Cor. 12. 7 as the hollest though thei resiste are not vnspotted of infirmities and faultes while thei liue in this worlde 12. We beleue that from this corrupcion and generail condemnacion in whiche all menne are plunged a Exod. 9. 16. Rom. 9. 22. God draweth out those whom in his euerlastyng and vnchaungeable counsaile he hath chosen through his onely goodnesse and mercie in our Lorde Iesus Christe without consideracion of their workes leauyng b Rom. 3. 2. 9. 23. 2. Tim. 2. 20 Tite 3. 5. 7. Ephe. 1. 4. 2. Tim. 1. 9. the reste in the self same corrupcion and condemnacion to shewe his iustice in them as he causeth the richesse of his mercie to shine in the firste For the one are no better then the other till GOD hath discerned them accordyng to his vnchangeble counsaile whiche he hath determined in Iesus Christe before the creacion of the worlde Neither is any able of his owne proper vertue to obtaine this goodnesse c Ier. 10. 23 Ephe. 1. 45 seyng that naturally we can not haue so muche as one good mocion affection or thoughte till God preuente vs and dispose vs therevnto 13. Wee beleue that in the same Iesus Christe all that is requisite to our saluacion hath been offered and communicate vnto vs a 1. Cor. 1. 30. Ephe. 1. 6. 7 Col. 1. 13. 14 Tite 2. 14. who beyng geuen to vs for our saluacion became to vs immediatlie wisedome rightuousnesse sanctificacion and redemption so that declinyng from hym wee forsake the mercies of the Father whiche ought to be our onely refuge 14. We beleue that Iesus Christe beyng the wisedome of God a Iohn 1. 14. Philip. 2. 6. and his eternall soonne hath taken our fleshe on him to the ende that beyng GOD and manne in one persone b Heb. 1 17. 2. Cor. 5. 21 yea man like to vs of bodie and soule subiect to passions sauyng that he is cleane from all spotte c Act. 13. 13. Rom. 1. a. 8. 3. 9. 5. ii Cor. 5. 21. Phil. 2. 7. Heb. 2. 14. 15. 5. a. And as concernyng his manhod that he was the true sÃ©ede of Abraham and Dauid d Mat. 1. 18. Luke 1. 35. though he were conceiued by the secrete power of the holie Ghoste Wherein wee deteste all those heresies that of old time troubled the Churches and namely also the Deuillishe imaginacions of Seruet who altributeth to our sauiour Christe a phantasticall God hedde in that he termeth it to be the idea and patron of all thinges and nameth him the personall or figuratiue Soonne of God and finallie forgeth hym a bodie of three vncreate Elementes and so mingleth and destroieth bothe the natures 15. We beleue a Math. 1. Luke 1. Ihon. 1. 14. i. Tim. 2. 5. and. 3 16. Hebre. 5. 8. that in one onely persone that is Iesus Christe the twoo natures are truely and vndiuidedlie conioigned and knitte and eche nature neuerthelesse remainyng in his distincte propertie So that as in this coniunction the diuine nature retaining his propertie remaineth vncreat infinite and filling all things b Luc. 24. 38. 39. Rom. 1. 4. Philip. 2. so the humaine nature remaineth finite hauyng forme measure and propertie yea and though Iesus Christe in risyng againe haue made his bodie immortal yet toke he not away the truth of his nature And thus we so consider of his Godhedde that wee spoile hym not of his manhod 16. We a Iohn 3. 16 15. 13. beleue that God in sendyng his soonne mynded to shewe his loue and inestimable goodnesse towardes vs in deliuerynge hym to death and raisyng him again to fulfill all iustice and to obtaine vs euerlastyng life 17. We beleue a 2. Cor. 5. 19. Heb. 5. 7. 8. 9. 9. that by the onely Sacrifice that our Lorde Iesus offered on the crosse we are recoÌ„ciled with God b 1. Pet. 2. 24. 25. to be holden and reputed iuste before hym for that wÃ©e can not please hym or be partakers of his adoption but in that he forgeueth burieth our faultes c Heb. 9. 14 Ephe. 5. 26. 1. Pet. 1. 18 19. So we proteste that Iesus Christ is our whole and perfecte wasshyng that in his death we haue full satisfaccion to discharge vs of those faultes and iniquities wherein wee offend send and that wee are deliuered by none other meane 18. We beleue a Psal 32. 1. Iohn 17. 23. Rom. 4. 7. 8 8. a. b. c 2. Cor. 5. 19 that all our iustice is grounded in the forgeuenesse of our synnes whiche is also our onelie felicitie as Dauid saieth b 1. Tim. 2. 5 1. Ioh. 2. 1. 2 Rom. 5. 19. Act. 4. 12. Wherfore we reiect all other meanes of iustificacion before God and without presumyng on any vertues or desertes we simply hold on the obedience of Iesus Christ whiche standeth vs in stede as well to couer all our faultes as to finde fauour before God And in effect we beleue that straiyng neuer so little from this grounde wee can finde t is where no reste but are continually moued with vnquietnesse for that we are neuer in quiet with God till we be fully resolued to be beloued in Iesus Christ sÃ©eyng wee bee worthie to bee hated of our selues 19. We beleue a Ro. 5. a. b. 8. 15. Gal. 4. 45. 6. 7. Ephe. 2. 13. 14. 15. that by this meane wee haue libertie and priuilege to cal vpon God with full assuraunce that he will shewe hym self to bee our Father For wee could haue none accesse to the Father if wÃ©e were not directed by this mediatour And to bee exalted in his name it behoueth vs to hold our liues of hym as of our hedde 20. We beleue a Rom. 1. d. Gal. 2. d. Iohn 3. 15. that we are made partakers of this rightuousnesse by faithe onelie as it is saied that he suffred to obtain our saluacion that who soeuer beleueth in hym should not perishe b Mat. 17. Iohn 3. 16 17. 10. 20 21. And that this is dooen for that the promises of life which are geueÌ„ to vs in hym are made fitte for our vse wÃ©e feele the effecte thereof when wee accepte theim not doubtyng that beyng assured by the mouthe of God we shal not bee frustrate thereof c Rom. 1. 17 3. 24. 25. 28. 30. 4. a. b. c. Gal. 2. d. So that righteousnesse whiche we obtaine by faithe dependeth on the free promises by whiche God declareth and testifieth that he loueth vs. 21. We beleue a Ephe. 2. 8. 1. Thes 2. 5. 1. Cor. 2. 12. 2. Pet. 1. 3 4 1. c. that we are illumined in the faithe by the secrete grace of the holie ghoste so that it is a frÃ©e and particuler gifte whiche God bestoweth vpon suche as seemeth to hym good in suche wise as the faithfull haue not wherein to glorie beyng doubly beholden in that thei were
