And for as much as in this ruefull decay â—f the Catholike religion and in this most â—iurious and troublesome time I as a true â—hristian and carefull father haue a zealouse care to leaue to all the world and especially to my Children for their imitation a Confession of my faith Â§. 3. Bee it knowne to them and to all the world that I professe and from my heart protest to liue and die a member of Christs true Catholike and Apostolike Church out of the vnitie and fellowship wherof there never was nor is nor can bee salvation what plausible perswasions or pleasing pretences soever now bee or by the divels drift may hereafter bee devised to the contrarie In which faith and vnitie of which Church I acknowledge God the Father my Maker God the Son my Redeemer and God the holy Ghost my Sanctifier three persons and one very and eternal God Â§. 4. I beleeue and hold the twelue Articles oâ— the Christian faith as the Catholikâ— Church teacheth them The Nicenâ— Creed and Athanasius Creed I hold anâ— acknowledge the ten commandements a God declared them to Moyses to be thâ— substance of the Law I beleeue there be in Christs Church seaven Sacraments or fountaines of grace wherby the holy Ghost doth by our receiving and vse of the same worke in our soules grace that is to say Baptisme Confirmation Matrimonie Confession Orders Supper of our Lord â—nd Extreame Vnction and that to be deprived of the vse of these is an impediment â—nd stopping of Gods grace in vs wherof many a Christian soule doth in this time of â—inne feele a ruefull losse Â§. 5. I beleeue that in the Sacrament of the â—ords Supper otherwise called the Sacrament of the Altar after the words of Conseâ—ration in the sacrifice of the Masse done â—y the Priest duely ordained there remaiâ—eth the very Real preseÌ„ce of Christs Bodie â—nd Bloud without any other substance of â—reatures and that all figurative speeches all â—pirituall meanings all glosses of words all â—â—rmises of false spirits that suppose or teach â—he contrarie are derogatorie to the power â—f God and injuriouse to the salvation of â—hristian soules the words of the Gospell â—ying Take eate this is my Bodie and â—ke and drinke this is my Bloud Â§. 6. I beleeue that the examination of conscience and ConfessioÌ„ of sinnes to a ghostly father is a worke necessarie to salvation as the Church of God doth require it and that it is the most comfortable meane to stirre vp the soule sunke into sinne vnto repentance and amendment that can bee and that by the often vse therof Gods grace doth wonderfully worke in our mindes and that by the neglecting of the same Satan worketh his will Â§. 7. I beleeue that the doctrine of the Catholike Church concerning invocation of saints prayer for the dead and holding of the place for purgation of soules dying in the state of grace and of christian workes to be effect of christian faith is a most sound and wholsome doctrine and that the new found Doctrine of sole faith is the fine force of Satan to deceiue the world Â§. 8. I beleeue and firmely avow that the holy Ghost since Christs ascension hath bin and continued with this Catholike and Apostolike Church teaching her all truth and so shall continue to the end of the world and that the gates of Hell shall never prevaile against her according to Christs promise And that the pretended reformers of Religion are Divels transformed into the shape of Angels of light fallne into the delicacie of wordly mens delights in this latter age of the world And that this is true may be proued by a sensible consequent First of the new preteÌ„ded reformed Religion there was never publike profession in the Christian world before these fortie or fiftie yeares last past or thereabouts then it being fifteene huÌ„dred yeares since Christ established his Church either it is to be confessed that the Church and Religion that had beginning and continuance from Christs time vntill these pretended reformed dayes is the true Church and true Religion and that the contrarie is fâ—lse or else â—hat Christ hath not kept promise when he ascended saying that he would send to his dâ—sciples the comforter which should teach them all truth and coÌ„tinue with them to the end of the world but to say so were blasphemie as I trust every Christian heart will affirme And Christs Church is no hidden thing for in the scriptures shee is coÌ„pared to a Citie set vpon an hill that every one may see to a Candle set vpon a caÌ„dlesticke to lighten al that come into the house And a most ruefull and lamentable thing my deare infants it is that we should now condemne that Religion which we received first into this Realme aboue thirteene hundred yeares past and continued in vntill about fiftie yeares past and then altered into such a libertie of life a discharging of the conscience a carnalitie of pleasures a securitie of salvation a rash beleeving of spirits a condemning of the Fathers a pride af opinions a setting vp of sects a pretending of pietie a performing of impietie a dissolving of obedience and generally into such a pleasant safetie of sinning as I can not but in the charitie towards all Christians and especially of you my deare children that may haply liue to see and feele the truth of these things with an inward sorrow of heart remember Â§. 9.
