A18640	An harmony of the confessions of the faith of the Christian and Reformed Churches which purelie professe the holy doctrine of the Gospell in all the chiefe kingdomes, nations, and prouinces of Europe: the catologue and order whereof the pages following will declare. There are added in the ende verie shorte notes: in which both the obscure thinges are made plaine, & those thinges which maie in shew seeme to be contrarie each to other, are plainelie and verie modestlie reconciled, and if anie points doe as yet hang in doubt, they are sincerelie pointed at. All which things, in the name of the Churches of Fraunce and Belgia, are submitted to the free and discrete iudgement of all other Churches. Newlie translated out of Latine into English. Also in the end is added the confession of the Church of Scotland. Alowed by publique authoritie.; Harmonia confessionum fidei orthodoxarum & reformatarum ecclesiarum.

confession_n of_o belgia_n 431._o all_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v hide_v etc._n etc._n that_o be_v to_o say_v both_o when_o the_o proper_a force_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n

observation_n upon_o the_o confession_n of_o bohemia_n upon_o the_o confession_n of_o auspurge_n 432._o that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v there_o in_o deed_n and_o be_v distribute_v etc._n etc._n we_o also_o do_v alow_o of_o this_o namely_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o deceitful_a and_o therefore_o as_o often_o as_o the_o holy_a sign_n be_v right_o give_v that_o be_v according_a to_o christ_n his_o institution_n that_o then_o also_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o sign_n which_o be_v the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n crucify_v for_o we_o and_o the_o very_a blood_n of_o christ_n shed_v for_o we_o be_v also_o give_v to_o be_v receive_v but_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v no_o otherwise_o couple_v with_o the_o sign_n then_o sacramentallie_o the_o truth_n of_o which_o sacramental_a conjunction_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o wheresoever_o the_o sign_n be_v there_o the_o thing_n represent_v by_o the_o sign_n shall_v also_o be_v present_a but_o in_o this_o that_o that_o which_o god_n promise_v by_o the_o sign_n he_o also_o do_v offer_v to_o be_v receive_v therefore_o we_o hold_v that_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o real_o present_a in_o with_o or_o under_o the_o bread_n otherwise_o then_o after_o this_o sacramental_a manner_n both_o because_o it_o be_v a_o true_a body_n be_v circumscribe_v in_o his_o local_a situation_n and_o also_o have_v true_o ascend_v from_o the_o earth_n above_o the_o heaven_n that_o be_v subject_a to_o our_o sight_n and_o shall_v there_o remain_v from_o whence_o he_o exercise_v a_o government_n over_o all_o these_o beneath_o even_o as_o he_o be_v man_n until_o he_o come_v true_o from_o thence_o to_o judge_v both_o quick_a and_o dead_a moreover_o we_o do_v also_o avouch_v that_o as_o the_o sign_n be_v offer_v to_o the_o body_n so_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v offer_v to_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o sign_n be_v receive_v of_o every_o one_o with_o the_o hand_n and_o mouth_n that_o come_v unto_o the_o supper_n the_o which_o unto_o some_o namely_o to_o the_o worthy_a receivet_n do_v turn_n unto_o salvation_n but_o unto_o other_o that_o be_v the_o unworthy_a communicant_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o profanation_n of_o the_o sign_n and_o contempt_n of_o the_o thing_n signify_v they_o do_v turn_v to_o condemnation_n as_o for_o the_o thing_n signify_v those_o we_o affirm_v to_o be_v true_o and_o effectual_o apprehend_v only_o of_o those_o that_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o right_a mind_n and_o a_o true_a faith_n and_o that_o always_o unto_o salvation_n whereunto_o the_o distance_n of_o place_n be_v no_o hindrance_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o unspeakable_a operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o not_o so_o as_o that_o the_o substance_n shall_v be_v mingle_v betwixt_o themselves_o or_o cleave_v together_o in_o any_o place_n for_o christ_n flesh_n abide_v in_o heaven_n and_o we_o upon_o the_o earth_n but_o that_o these_o thing_n be_v mystical_o unite_v which_o in_o true_a distance_n of_o situation_n be_v separate_v we_o may_v draw_v from_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ_n all_o gift_n necessary_a for_o our_o salvation_n and_o especial_o that_o lively_a ivise_n whereby_o we_o be_v nourish_v to_o eternal_a life_n therefore_o whatsoever_o they_o pretend_v which_o be_v of_o the_o contrary_a judgement_n the_o controversy_n be_v not_o either_o of_o the_o sign_n or_o of_o the_o thing_n signify_v or_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o sacrament_n or_o of_o the_o receive_n of_o they_o or_o of_o the_o effect_n

of_o we_o do_v not_o with_o out_o cause_n together_o with_o the_o thing_n abolish_v the_o name_n itself_o out_o of_o our_o church_n as_o for_o the_o holy_a liturgy_n there_o we_o think_v that_o it_o
