therefore is called by excellēcie the fulnes of times Gal. 4.4 and when all shall be gathered then the times shall be full Rom. 11.25.26 c There is but one Christ to saue all of all times and nations Secondly by a distribution of the things to bee gathered which are the elect some in d If out of heauen and earth then there is no Limbus patrum nor Purgatorie heauen some still founde on the earth till the whole summe be called and gathered Now e The Catholike Church is the companie of beleeuers in Christ in heanenand ea●th all these some at one time and some at another being gathered shall bee vnited vnto Christ and then being perfect they shall all be partakers of his glorie and he shall giue vp his kingdome to his father 2. Thess 2.14 1. Cor. 15.24 Now here the master may learne to set all these causes in their right order of place out of Rom. 8.30 Whom he predestinated them also he called and whom he called them also he iustified and whom he iustified them also he glorified Where vnder predestinated be contained his purpose the good pleasure of his will election before the foundation of the world All the rest is the performance of that predestination As first the calling by which is not meant the outward calling onely but also the inward calling which Christ sheweth in this posie * Matth. 22.14 Many are called but few are chosen For there is a generall calling by preaching to many and an effectuall calling accompanying preaching by the spirit in a few Vnder this calling are contained the sending of Christ the preaching of Christs Gospel the worke of the spirit making vs to beleeue in him sent and preached the new birth and renewing of the holy Ghost For none are truly called but they in whom all these meet The second worke of performance is in this word instified vnder which is contained our redemption forginenes of sinnes and imputation of righteousnes which is the accepting of vs in Christ the peace with God adoption the companion of iustification which is sanctification and his daughters ioy in the holie Ghost standing in grace c. Lastly is glorified by which is meant the finall gathering into one of all the elect vnto saluation with Christ when it shall be no small part of happines to bee holie and without blame before God hauing no neede of earthly garments to couer our shame and to praise God for the glory of his grace raigning with him in fulnes of ioy for euer euer 1. Thess 3 13 Reuel 22.1.2.3.4.7 and 22.1.2 c. and 20.6 Euen so Lord Iesus come quickly Amen The second booke containing the last order of instruction COncerning this last and largest Catechisme An obsernation to the housholder I am to admonish the master of the familie First that I set downe in seuerall places and chapters seuerall and particular places of Scripture for the teaching of the seuerall parts of doctrine The text is alway set before the doctrine not in the words as in the former Catechismes but onely the name of the booke chapter verse or verses where the words are written which he is to peruse and to compare with the parts of doctrine which I set downe and then to reade it to his familie and out of it being read to shew them so much as I set downe out of it Secondly hee shall finde in some poynts that they are not so direct or expressed in the text but are gathered by circumstāce or consequence Such as Christ * Matth. 22.31 vsed to prooue the resurrection if God call himselfe the God of Abraham c. and that he bee God of the liuing and not of the dead then verily there is a resurrection appoynted for the dead Againe wee finde that God hath * Ephes 1.4.11 elected some vnto saluation before the foundation of the world and that he doth thorowly bring to passe whatsoeuer he hath purposed And againe we finde that * Luke 13.23 24 25. 26. some shall not bee saued then it followeth that God neuer purposed their saluation and by consequent he purposed the contrarie except wee will make God as a a Luke 14.28 foolish builder that doth not forecast what hee will doe with euery part of that hee buildeth or els imagine some b Eccles 7.15.16 other power to take order in his ouerslippes or els c Esay 40.12 13 14 15. giue him some counsellers or helpers which is as the foolish hath sayd in his heart Psal 14.1 Now because he should not stumble at a thing that seemes so bare I will adde in euery such place some one or two plaine places of holy scripture to proue the matter of such a collection agreeing to faith and these shall be alwayes in the end or behind euery such poynt Also some one poynt by reason of the order of his place may not bee contained in the text by any collection and some may be directly in the text but not so cleere and plaine Here I will also helpe the master with some other place direct and plaine and by some one word guide him to discerne when any thing is not in the text Lastly in teaching this Catechisme hee may sometimes giue them some one chapter sometimes two for their easines sometimes but a part of one for length or hardnes and in all things to vse good discretion Al which rules being obserued hee shall finde I hope good vse of this Catechisme The last Catechisme containing the summe of the doctrine of Christ by many places of Scripture CAP. 1.

Of the nature of God Ioh. 4.24 Exod. 3.14 Reuel 1.8 God is a spirit being of himselfe for euer Ioh. 15.26 There are three persons in the Godhead equall in substance The Father of whom are the rest in these words sent from the father The Sonne begotten of the Father from euerlasting Ioh. 1.18 and 17.5 The holy Ghost proceedeth from them both in these words I will send and proceedeth from the father 2. The Father worketh of himselfe by the Sonne and thorow the holy Ghost the Sonne worketh from the Father thorow the holy Ghost the holy Ghost worketh from the Father and the Sonne Tit. 3.4.5.6 CAP. 3. Of the actions of God Gods decree Eph. 1.11 Here the actions of God are declared which are of two sorts 1. The decree which is that he foreappoynted all things in these words purpose and counsell of his will after which he worketh all things 2. The execution of the decree which is that he performeth all things according to his purpose in these words worketh all things Here in regard of man this decree is called predestination which is the foreordaining of some men to

Vnder this word blessed 7 Gal. 3.29 1. Cor. 1.30 Reuel 20.6 are contained all Gods graces and gifts which thorough Christ hee giueth to his Church and his protection in this life with the resurrection vnto life eternall 8. One part of this blessednes is 8 So applied Luk. 1.73 Act. 3.25.26 that Christ turneth vs from our sinnes and leadeth vs by the promise to walke in godlines and honestie 9. 9 For this promise is exclusiue as Act. 4.12 Gal. 1.8 Ioh. 3.18 There is no other meanes of saluation but Christ and therefore all other professions and religions which teach not the true beleefe in Christ are the synagogues of Satan and seminaries of hell fire 10. 10 Ancienter by 430 yeares then the law of works Gal. 3.17 Tit. 1.1 Heb. 13.8.9 That we are iustified and saued by faith onely is the most ancient doctrine being taught by God vnto Abraham long before euer there was any Church of Rome Here the master of the familie may applie vnto euery particular person how his faith should agree with these points by the example of Iob whose Creede thus followeth Iob. 19.25 I am sure my redeemer liueth c. Where thou maist see his faith in that he saith I am sure his acknowledgement of sins and expectation of Christ in the word Redeemer and in the word liueth hee sheweth that Christ is alway the onely q So expounded Heb. 7.24.25 sufficient fauiour his hope of the resurrection is plaine in the rest and the description of eternall life in this r So defined Psal 16.11 17.15 he shall see God CAP. 5.

Tim. 1.9 God decreeth the saluation of many by Christ 2. Mans works free-will 2 This followeth of the first merit and satisfaction are excluded by the vndesired and vndeserued good pleasure of GOD in so decreeing 3. In Christ we see two things 3 This appeareth in the two following what hee is in himselfe and what to vs the first we call his person and the second his office adioyned to his person 4. In his person hee is called a seruant 4 In the second person Gods seruant and a iust seruant A seruant because being God he became a man which is called the ſ Philip. 2.6.7 forme of a seruant Gods seruant because hee came to doe t Heb. 10.7 Gods will Just or righteous because it behoued that hee being u 1.
