the capacitie of all the creatures in heauen and earth for they cannot all make so much as an haire of nothing Q. What doe yee thinke then when men sweare by their faith other suche like othes A. I affirme that they doe greeuously sinne by taking the name of God in vaine Christ saith Hee the sweareth by heaueÌ„ sweareth by the throne of God and by him that sitteth thereon o. Mat. 23.22 Then must it needes bee that he which sweareth by his faith sweareth by the word of God vpoÌ„ which it is grounded by the holy ghost which is the worker thereof by god the father by Christ vpoÌ„ whoÌ„ it laieth holde Q. Some sweare by the Diuell some by the masse by the roode and such like do these offend against this commandement A. They doe offend greuously against this precept in as much as they giue away the glory of Gods name vnto those thinges which are abhominable It is a part of the due honor which we owe vnto god to sweare rightly by his name therefore God complaineth as iniured wheÌ„ he saith they sweare by those that are no Gods p. Ier. 5.7 Q. What meane the wordes which followe for the Lorde will not hold him guiltlesse whiche taketh his name in vaine A. These woordes are a very vehement threatning by which the Lord would terrifie men that they bee not bolde to abuse his name Q. What needeth this when there is a general curse pronounced A. There is great neede of this as experience teacheth because meÌ„ set exceeding light by the name of God and count it either no sinne or at the least a very small sinne and this you may see in the wordes of many who abusing Gods name by rashe swearing or otherwise tell them of it and they answere I pray God we doe no worse and then we care not Q. What is the cause that men thinke so light of the breach of this lawe when God maketh it so waightie A. The very cause is this that mens heartes are stuffed full of prophane ignoraunce of Gods glory for if they did see the most precious glory of Gods name they coulde not so tread it vnder their feete as a thing of naught Q. Let vs proceed to the fourth coÌ„mandement which is the sanctifiyng of the Sabboth Wherefore doth he say remeÌ„ber thou keep holy the Sabboth day A. By this speeche when God saith Remember hee doth put vs in minde of our dulnesse for it is as much as to say yee are so addicted to your owne worke and your mindes so set vpon worldly things that yee forget all holy exercises and passe them ouer Q. Is this commandement in euery respect with vs as it was before the comming of Christe A. It is not For one part of this commaundement was ceremoniall and ceased with other ceremonies another part of it was morall that was from the beginning and must be to the end Q. What is it in the Sabboth which was ceremonial A. They were commaunded that day to rest from all bodily worke whiche was a signe of sanctification for thereby was ment that they shoulde cease from sinne and sinnefull affections which are called their owne woordes and woorkes and giue vp themselues to be led by the holy ghoste to worke the workes of God Q. Is the substance of this abolished A. No in no wise for wee haue it accomplished in Christe by whom wee doe enter into the rest of God q. Heb. 10.19 Ephe. 2.18 ceasing froÌ„ our owne workes as God did from his this is the continuall Sabboth which we must keepe all the dayes of our life vnto God Q. It seemeth then by this doctrine of the Sabboth that there is nothing in man which is not contrary vnto God and also abhominable in his sight A. That is most manifest For if there were any goodnesse left eyther in our will or in our affections wee shoulde not bee willed to cease from it But this continuall Sabboth is for to cease from all our own workes which is to denie our selues Q. If the ceremonie bee abolished and the Sabboth continuall then it seemeth that the seuenth day is no more to bee regarded then another day A. In respect of any such signification of holinesse it is to bee regarded no more then another day But yet it differeth from other dayes in respect of the other vse of the Sabboth which was from the beginning which must continue to the end For from the beginning God blessed the seuenth day and did separate it from other dayes Q What is then that other vse of the seuenth day which we must be mindfull of A Men are to set their wordly busines apart that day and to giue them selues vnto holy exercises as the hearing of the woorde preached in the publike assembly to praye with the congregation to communicate in the ministration of the Sacramentes to meditate vpon the worde for the increase of faith knowledge and godlinesse Q. Are not men for to heare the worde of God preached in the weeke daies For some reason thus sixe dayes shalt thou labour therefore vnlawfull to goe to a Sermon on these dayes A. These are very ignoraunt and prophane which reason after that sort For doth God say they shall labour euery houre of those sixe dayes Can they not find one spare houre in the weeke to play a game at the cardes or bowles or to hunt and to sit talk merily together can men spare some time for these and not to seeke God and yet not bee of those wicked which the Apostle saith are louers of pleasure more then louers of of God r. 2. Tim. 3.4 These also are not the best obseruers of the Sabboth day which are so carelesse to seeke God in the weeke dayes Hee is blessed which doth meditate in the lawe of the Lorde day and night s. Psalm 1.1.2 Q. Tell mee then how men offend God in breaking this commandemente of the Sabboth A. Men doe breake this holy law many waies go vnder the displeasure of God as committing a greuous sinne But first in generall they offende which doe so neglect the time that they doe not profite in knowledge faith and godlines by the day Also those which occupie theÌ„selues in any thing which doth hinder them from profiting by holy exercises In particuler those whiche are idle those which go to visit their friends in feasting that occupie their trade of worldly busines that sende abrode their seruants to gather vp their dets or such like Much more those which runne to playes bearbaytings Maygames or the spend the time in drinking carding dicing or other such vanities Q. Yee say those breake this coÌ„maÌ„demeÌ„t which do not profit in faith knowledge godlines by the day How shall those do which haue not the means but are vnder an vnlearned or an insufficient minister of the worde A. They are not excused because they haue not the meanes at

with the spyrit were also burthened with infirmities and sinnes A. I coulde shewe that at large by many examples but one testimonie of the Apostle is sufficient where he saieth to the godlye that the fleshe lusteth against the spirite and the spirite against the fleshe so that yee cannot doe the thinges whiche yee would x. Gala. 5.17 Q. What followeth next A. The fourth parte of the Articles of our faith yet remaineth the holy Catholike Church the Communion of Saints c. Q. What is it which yee call the Church A. The whole company of those whoÌ„ God hath chosen vnto life euerlasting Q. Wherfore doe yee call it the holy Church A. Beecause euery member of it is holy being sanctified by the holy Ghost for whosoeuer hath not the spirite of Christe is none of Christs y. Rom. 8.9 Q. Doe yee affyrme that such men as be vngodly and wicked be not of the Church A. Whosoeuer they be which holde that although men liue an vnholye and an vncleane life yet they be Christians and of the Church they denye this article in this poynt that wee beleeue the Church is holye For if a couetous man a drunkard and an adulterer or one that liueth in any such vice shal affirme that he is of the church theÌ„ he must say that he beleeueth the vnholy church Q. In what respect do yee call the Church Catholike A. In that it is vniuersall for Catholike is that whiche goeth through out the hole Q. Hath it respect vnto time or place A. It respecteth both for the Churche hath beene alwaye in the woorlde from the beginning and shal be to end and in all places of the world while it pleaseth God to call any Q. Then that is not the Catholike Church which is but in some countries and at some time A. It is but a company of Heretikes and Schismatikes how many soeuer they be or how long soeuer they continue For those whiche bee of the Catholike Church are suche as are coupled vnto that Mother Church which hath beene from the beeginning Q. What say yee to the Church of Rome which doth chalenge this title to bee called the Catholike Church A. They doe falsly vsurpe the name both beecause theyr fayth is newe and such as Moses and the Prophetes neuer did knowe For they cannot shewe that the holye Patriarches Abraham and the reste did beleeue as they doe They teache doctrine quite contrary to Christ and his Apostles and also because many nations of the world where the Ghospell hath bin taught haue neuer acknowledged their Pope nor obeyed their doctrine Therfore it doth follow that seeing they be thus departed from the true Church they be but a swarm of waspes and a rout of Heretikes Q. By what reasons can ye shewe that wee bee of the true Catholyque Church For they call vs Heretiques A. Wee hold that doctrine and faith which is moste auncient and olde taught by Moses and the Prophetes and also by the Apostles we beleeue it in euery poynt and none other and therfore being ioyned with them in the vnitie of fayth we be also of the same body that they be and therefore of the Catholike Church Q. Yee saye that the Church is Catholike beecause it hath beene at all tymes in the woorlde although at some time in small number as in the dayes of Noah then it followeth that those bee not of the Catholike Churche of whom it may be sayde that there was a tyme when theyr Churche was not in the world A. That is out of controuersie that there hath neuer beene so much as one day in the which the true Church hath not beene in the world although at many times in very small number Q. The Papistes doe demaunde where our Churche was an hundred yeeres a-gone and so for the space of fiue or sixe hundred yeeres before A. At suche time as the Man of sinne was exalted and did sitte in the Temple of God z 2. The. 2.3 and all kinredes and people and tongues did wonder and worship the beast a. Reue. 13.8 then the woman persecuted by the Dragon which is the Church was driuen into the wildernesse and was secrete but yet not altogether destroyed For the remnaunt of her seede which had the testimonie of Iesus were persecuted b. Reuel 12. This therefore I answere that our Church which is the true Catholike Church did lye as it were buryed and hidde in the Papacy euen as a fewe wheate Corns in a great heape of Chaffe Yet some of them did euer appeare and were persecuted by the Beast and the Dragon Q. What proofe haue ye of the word to confirme al this A. Euen those places which I haue already recited Antichriste should sit in the Temple of GOD and there beare suche rule that he should boast himself to be God by taking that power and authoritie which doth belong onely to God yet it remaineth stil the temple of God which could not bee vnlesse the Church were there still Q. Yea but you must shew that the Catholike Church shoulde at anye tyme be without a visible gouernment A. The place cited doth most playnelye prooue it for the woman driuen into the desarte and yet her seede remaininge doeth shewe that the outwarde face of the Churche was gone while the glorious trimme whoore was gotte into her place And yet shee coulde not bee destroyed for the remnaunt of her seede coulde neuer bee rooted out Q. Howe doe yee vnderstande the next woordes the Communion of Saintes A. This clause is added as a declaratioÌ„ of the other in this wise I beleeue there is an holy Catholike Church which is the Communion of Saints Q. In what sense is the Church called a Communion A. As there is one head Iesus Christ so are al the faithful knit together by one spirite and made one body in him This is the cause that there is such a Communion and fellowshippe amonge them one with an other as there is betweene the members of the natural body Q. What is the effecte of this Communion or fellowship A. The entire loue and sincere affection which they beare one towardes an other euen as the members of the same body And out of this also doth spring the making common of all good thinges which they haue and the care to defend each other For looke what good thing any member of the bodye hath it doth willingly imploy it to the benefit of all the rest and the loue is suche that euery member doth cheerfully apply it self to relieue the rest and no one of them doth hurt or seeeke to destroy an other Euen so is it in this Communion of Saintes which are al the members of one body c. Cor. 12.12 14. Q. Do ye meane that no one doth possesse any thing by himselfe but the possession in commune when yee saye they make all good thinges common among them A. That were absurde the possession is priuate the vse
