the which the whole nature of originall sinne is placed in the onely hereditary corruption incident originally in all men and the imputation of the first sin of Adam is denyed The Assembly condemnes the said Doctrine insomuch a● that it restraines the nature of sinne in the only hereditary corruption of the posterity of Adam excluding the imputation of the first sinne by which he is fallen And forbids upon paine of all Censures unto all Pastours Professours and others which shall handle the said question not to depart from the common received sense of the Protestant Churches which besides the corruption have all acknowledged the said imputation unto a●l the posterity of Adam and ordaine that all Synods and Colloques which shall hereafter proceed to the receiving of Schollers to serve in the holy Ministery to oblige them to the signing of this Act. Because that the Adoration which is rendred by the Roman Church unto the Host which shee pretends to consecrate hath as well in their publick service as when it is carryed in Procession and to the sick this false presupposition for a maine foundation that by the Consecration it is made properly the very same body which was taken out of the wombe of the blessed Virgin by the eternall Sonne of God unto whose divine Person it appertaines as well before as after his Incarnation And because the Roman Church renders and requires no other Adoration then that of Latria 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for the Consecrated Host and they of the Religion in regard of the same follow another beliefe touching the substance of the Host which they hold to be after the Consecration of the same insensible and inanimat matter which it was before cannot according to the sense of their consciences and the fundamentall principle of Christianity attribute soveraigne Adoration unto a thing which by nature is not God nor transfer the glory of the eternall God to any of the creatures of lower degree The Synod adjureth all by the profession which they make to serve the Lord purely and by this irreparable prejudice which they cause on the one part to come by their inconsideratenesse and on the other in regard of their owne consciences which they shamefully betray and for them of their fellow Citizens which are of the Roman Religion whom they confirme in their superstition as well as for the weake among themselves whom they lead into errour by the example of a prevarication most unworthy of the name which they beare to returne unto themselves and to bewaile their estate before the great God and Saviour Jesus Christ whose Glory they have prophaned so farre as in them lies It ordaines therefore that then when the Host shall be carried by them of the Roman Church that every one of them retire himselfe so soone as possibly hee may not to give any scandall to his neighbour and as for them which will not retire feeding themselves with this frivolous imagination that they set n t their thoughts as the Members of t●e Roman Church doe which adore it with the same worship as they doe the Divinity perswading themselves that they may conforme unto that custome by a servile complaysance in putting off the ha● then when the Host passeth if not for the cause of it as their complaysancie requires at least in honour of the Curate or Vicar which beareth it or of them which accompany it seeing they answer no● the intention of them which they thinke to gratifie because they undertake to substitute a civill salutation not a Religious worship which the Church of Rome ordaines and that they attribute it unto another object then she propoundeth resting themselves against the Maxims of civility received among all men to honour not as the Roman Church pretends the Lord of Glory but in his presence and as it were in contempt of him the Minister which sayes he is cal●ed to serve him and that in the proper act of service which he pretends to render unto him nor yet to the duty of Christian sincerity which requires that our deeds be veritable expressions of our desires and not deceitfull shewes of that which is not only with our intention but formally contrary to blind malignantly the eyes of them which see and observe us and lastly not answering the example of the Ancient Christians which could never suffer such disguisements but holding them impious and sacrilegious loved rather to expose themselves to death then to depart never so little from the fidelity which they had sworne unto God in their Baptisme The Synod ordaines that it be carefully declared unto them that they may not continue in this hypocrisie with what pretext soever they colour it without irreligion and open mockery of God and of men without scandall of their brethren and mortall wounding of their owne consciences and in case they continue in this ungodly resolution Enjoyne all the Consistory to pursue them with all Ecclesiasticall censures as unworthy of the Communion of the faithfull after they have caused in all places where there is need a publick reading of this present Act to the end that no man may pretend cause of ignorance Seeing that for a long time the patience and long-suffering of the Lord which invites men to repentance hath made way to his just anger against impiety so that the fire of his indignation which passeth from Region to Region hath covered the face of Christendome with an universall conflagration so that for the present his Almighty hand is armed and lifted up to smite the warres the cause of the obduration of the people continuing and menacing offenders with a totall ruine The Nationall Synod Assembled by the permission of the King at Charenton considering that the onely remedy of so many miseries consists in the conversion of men and in the humiliation of their hearts before the glorious Tribunall of that great God whom they have provoked to jealousie and that the perpetuall exercise of Christians ought to be the renuing of themselves and the cutting off of dead workes to serve Gods holy name in Righteousnesse and that true piety exhorts the faithfull as well in generall as in particular to offer unto the Lord of glory justly provoked the reasonable sacrifice of a broken and contrite heart unto the very feet of his most holy and divine Majesty and the Provinciall Synods have summoned in their Divisions Fasts according as the particular necessity requires And now to implore the grace and mercy of the Almighty and infinite good God to obtaine his favour for the establishment of a generall Peace the settlement of the Estate the conservation of the Sacred person of the King the benediction of his youth the glory of his Crowne and happy successe of his Armes under the lawfull government of the Queen Regent and the prosperity of all the Royall Stemme Enacts that a Fast of all the Churches of this Kingdome shall be Celebrated the fourth day of May next and that all the
