title_n to_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n to_o which_o as_o to_o our_o only_a sanctuary_n we_o be_v bind_v to_o have_v recourse_n article_n fourteen_o we_o believe_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o wisdom_n and_o eternal_a son_n of_o the_o father_n take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n so_o that_o he_o be_v one_o person_n god_n and_o man._n man_n that_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o suffer_v both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n make_v like_o unto_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n sin_n only_o except_v so_o that_o as_o to_o his_o humane_a nature_n he_o be_v in_o truth_n the_o very_a seed_n of_o abraham_n and_o of_o david_n conceive_v in_o due_a time_n in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o most_o bless_a virgin_n by_o the_o secret_a and_o incomprehensible_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a god_n and_o therefore_o we_o detest_v as_o contrary_a to_o that_o truth_n all_o those_o heresy_n with_o which_o the_o church_n be_v trouble_v in_o time_n past_a and_o particular_o we_o detest_v those_o diabolical_a imagination_n of_o servetus_n who_o ascribe_v to_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n a_o imaginary_a deity_n who_o he_o assert_v to_o be_v the_o idea_n and_o pattern_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o counterfeit_n or_o figurative_a son_n of_o god_n in_o short_a he_o frame_v he_o a_o body_n compact_v of_o three_o element_n uncreated_a and_o so_o do_v mingle_v and_o overthrow_v his_o nature_n article_n xv._o we_o believe_v that_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n to_o wit_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o two_o nature_n be_v true_o and_o inseparable_o conjoin_v and_o unite_v yet_o nevertheless_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o each_o nature_n do_v retain_v its_o distinct_a property_n so_o that_o even_o as_o in_o this_o divine_a conjunction_n the_o divine_a nature_n retain_v its_o property_n do_v still_o abide_v uncreated_a infinite_a and_o fill_v all_o place_n so_o also_o the_o humane_a nature_n remain_v finite_a have_v its_o form_n measure_n and_o property_n and_o although_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o he_o rise_v from_o the_o dead_a do_v give_v immortality_n unto_o his_o body_n yet_o he_o never_o deprive_v it_o of_o the_o verity_n of_o its_o nature_n therefore_o we_o do_v so_o consider_v christ_n in_o his_o deity_n that_o we_o do_v not_o spoil_v he_o of_o his_o humanity_n article_n xvi_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n by_o send_v his_o son_n into_o the_o world_n do_v declare_v his_o infinite_a love_n and_o inestimable_a goodness_n to_o we_o deliver_v he_o over_o unto_o death_n and_o raise_v he_o again_o from_o the_o dead_a that_o he_o may_v fulfil_v all_o righteousness_n and_o purchase_v everlasting_a life_n for_o we_o article_n xvii_o we_o believe_v that_o by_o that_o only_a sacrifice_n which_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v upon_o the_o cross_n we_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v hold_v and_o account_v righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n because_o we_o can_v never_o please_v he_o nor_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o adoption_n but_o so_o far_o only_o as_o he_o forgive_v we_o our_o sin_n and_o buri_v they_o in_o his_o grave_n therefore_o we_o affirm_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v our_o entire_a and_o perfect_a wash_v and_o that_o by_o his_o death_n we_o obtain_v full_a satisfaction_n whereby_o we_o be_v deliver_v from_o all_o those_o sin_n of_o which_o we_o be_v guilty_a and_o from_o which_o we_o can_v never_o be_v absolve_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n or_o remedy_n article_n xviii_o we_o believe_v that_o our_o whole_a righteousness_n be_v found_v in_o the_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o be_v as_o david_n call_v it_o our_o only_a happiness_n wherefore_o we_o do_v utter_o reject_v all_o other_o mean_n by_o which_o man_n do_v think_v they_o may_v be_v justify_v before_o god_n and_o cast_v away_o all_o conceit_n of_o our_o own_o virtue_n and_o merit_n we_o do_v altogether_o rest_v upon_o the_o sole_a obedience_n of_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v impute_v to_o we_o as_o well_o for_o the_o cover_n of_o our_o offence_n as_o that_o we_o may_v find_v grace_n and_o favour_n with_o god_n and_o indeed_o we_o believe_v that_o shall_v we_o in_o the_o least_o forsake_v this_o foundation_n we_o can_v not_o find_v elsewhere_o any_o repose_n but_o must_v needs_o be_v agitate_a with_o inquietude_n in_o our_o conscience_n because_o we_o be_v never_o at_o peace_n with_o god_n till_o we_o be_v persuade_v upon_o good_a ground_n that_o we_o be_v belove_v in_o jesus_n christ_n for_o that_o in_o ourselves_o we_o have_v deserve_v to_o be_v hate_v by_o he_o article_n xix_o we_o believe_v that_o by_o this_o mean_v we_o have_v liberty_n and_o privilege_n of_o call_v upon_o god_n with_o full_a confidence_n that_o he_o will_v show_v himself_o a_o father_n to_o we_o for_o we_o have_v no_o access_n unto_o the_o father_n but_o in_o and_o through_o christ_n the_o mediator_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v hear_v in_o his_o name_n it_o be_v meet_v that_o we_o shall_v hold_v and_o derive_v our_o life_n from_o he_o as_o from_o our_o head_n article_n xx._n we_o believe_v that_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o this_o righteousness_n by_o faith_n only_o as_o it_o be_v write_v he_o suffer_v to_o purchase_v salvation_n for_o we_o that_o whosoever_o believe_v in_o he_o shall_v not_o perish_v and_o this_o be_v therefore_o do_v because_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n offer_v to_o we_o in_o he_o be_v then_o apply_v to_o our_o use_n and_o make_v effectual_a to_o we_o when_o we_o do_v accept_v of_o they_o and_o in_o no_o wise_a doubt_n but_o that_o we_o shall_v enjoy_v those_o thing_n which_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o own_o mouth_n have_v assure_v we_o of_o so_o that_o the_o righteousness_n which_o we_o obtain_v by_o faith_n depend_v upon_o the_o free_a gracious_a promise_n of_o god_n by_o which_o god_n do_v declare_v and_o testify_v unto_o we_o that_o we_o be_v belove_v of_o he_o article_n xxi_o we_o do_v believe_v that_o by_o the_o secret_a grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o light_n of_o faith_n be_v ●inded_v up_o in_o we_o so_o that_o it_o be_v a_o gracious_a and_o special_a gift_n which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o who_o he_o please_v and_o the_o faithful_a have_v nothing_o whereof_o they_o may_v boast_v because_o they_o be_v double_o oblige_v unto_o god_n for_o have_v prefer_v they_o before_o other_o and_o for_o that_o he_o never_o give_v faith_n unto_o the_o elect_a once_o only_o to_o bring_v they_o into_o the_o good_a way_n but_o also_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o continue_v in_o it_o unto_o the_o end_n for_o as_o god_n do_v begin_v faith_n so_o do_v he_o also_o finish_v and_o perfect_v it_o article_n xxii_o we_o believe_v that_o by_o this_o faith_n we_o be_v regenerate_v unto_o newness_n of_o life_n we_o be_v natural_o imbondaged_a under_o sin_n and_o we_o do_v by_o faith_n receive_v that_o grace_n to_o live_v holy_o and_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o our_o receive_n of_o the_o promise_n which_o be_v give_v we_o through_o the_o gospel_n to_o wit_n that_o god_n will_v give_v we_o his_o holy_a spirit_n so_o that_o faith_n be_v so_o far_o from_o freeze_a our_o affection_n to_o godliness_n and_o holy_a live_n that_o contrariwise_o it_o do_v engender_v and_o excite_v it_o in_o we_o necessary_o produce_v all_o manner_n of_o good_a work_n final_o although_o god_n to_o accomplish_v our_o salvation_n do_v regenerate_v and_o reform_v we_o that_o we_o may_v do_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v well-pleasing_a yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o do_v confess_v that_o the_o good_a work_n which_o we_o do_v by_o his_o spirit_n be_v never_o account_v to_o we_o for_o righteousness_n nor_o can_v we_o merit_v by_o they_o that_o god_n shall_v take_v we_o for_o his_o child_n because_o we_o shall_v be_v always_o toss_v with_o doubt_n and_o disquiet_v if_o our_o conscience_n do_v not_o repose_v themselves_o upon_o that_o satisfaction_n by_o which_o jesus_n christ_n have_v purchase_v we_o for_o himself_o article_n xxiii_o we_o believe_v that_o all_o the_o type_n of_o the_o law_n end_v when_o as_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n but_o although_o the_o ceremony_n be_v no_o long_o in_o use_n yet_o nevertheless_o the_o substance_n and_o truth_n of_o they_o abide_v always_o in_o his_o person_n who_o fulfil_v they_o moreover_o we_o must_v be_v holpen_v by_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n for_o the_o right_a order_n of_o our_o life_n and_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o gospel_n may_v be_v confirm_v to_o we_o article_n xxiv_o we_o believe_v that_o forasmuch_o as_o jesus_n christ_n

heaven_n as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o participation_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o holy_a supper_n we_o need_v not_o be_v scrupulous_o inquisitive_a about_o it_o only_o to_o join_v issue_n with_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v in_o the_o 3d_o to_o the_o ephesian_n that_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o faith_n whence_o it_o inevitable_o follow_v that_o he_o

hearty_o and_o cheerful_o towards_o heaven_n 17._o we_o know_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o error_n some_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o other_o in_o exterior_a action_n and_o practice_n of_o
