and make Faith part of the Payment or Satisfaction unto God and so lessen the Merits of Christ as if they were defective or insufficient Yet we say it is by Faith that we receive the Atonement or by which means as an Instrument we come to apprehend and receive him and to have personal Interest in him and to have our free Justification evidenced to our own Consciences Of Adoption XIV WE believe Adoption is an Act of God's Free Grace whereby such who were the Children of Wrath by Nature are received into the Number and have Right to all the Privileges of the Sons of God and that such who are adopted are also by the Spirit regenerated and hence said to be born of God Of Sanctification XV. THAT Sanctification is the Work of God's Free Grace also whereby we are renewed in the whole Man after the Image of God and are inabled more and more to die unto Sin and live unto Righteousness And that the Benefits we receive and which flow from or accompany Justification are Adoption Sanctification Peace of Conscience Manifestations of God's Love Joy in the Holy Ghost an Increase of Grace an Assurance of eternal Life and final Perseverance unto the end Of the Souls of Men at Death XVI WE believe that at Death the Souls of Believers are made perfect in Holiness and do immediately pass into Glory and their Bodies dying in Union with Christ or dying in the Lord do rest in their Graves till the Resurrection when they shall be raised up in Glory And that their Souls being reunited to their Bodies they shall be openly acknowledged and acquitted and made compleatly blessed both in Soul and Body and shall have the full Injoyment of God to all Eternity And that the Souls of the Wicked at their Death are cast into Hell or are in Torment and that their Bodies lie in the Grave under Wrath and shall by virtue of the Power of Christ be raised from the Dead and their Souls being re-united to their Bodies shall be judged and condemned and cast into a Furnace of Fire or into unspeakable Torment with the Devil and his Angels for ever and ever Of the Law XVII WE believe God requires Obedience of Man and that the Rule of that Obedience is the moral Law as it is in the Hands of Christ which teacheth all Persons their Duty to God and to Man the Sum of all being this to love the Lord our God with all our Hearts with all our Souls and with all our Strength and our Neighbours as our selves And that tho the Law is abolished as a Covenant of Works and as so considered we are dead to it and that dead to us yet it remains as a Rule of Life and Righteousness for ever XVIII We believe no mere Man since the Fall is able in this Life perfectly to keep the Holy Law of God and that every Offence against the Law deserves eternal Death tho some Sins are more heinous in God's Sight than others And that God as a simple Act of Mercy will not doth not pardon any Man neither doth it seem consistent with his Holiness and Justice so to do without a full Satisfaction wherefore he substituted Christ in our room and stead perfectly to keep the whole Law and to die or bear that Wrath which we deserved for our breaking of it he being pleased in his infinite Love and Grace to transfer our Sins Guilt and Punishment upon his own Son who took our Nature upon him as our blessed Head and Representative that his active Obedience and Righteousness might be our just Title unto eternal Life and his Death who bore our Hell-Torments be our full Discharge from the Wrath of God and eternal Condemnation And that all who would receive this Title and have this Discharge so as to escape God's Wrath and the Curse of the Law must fly to Christ and lay hold on him by Faith which Faith is known by its Fruits having lively Sin-killing Soul-humbling Self-abasing Christ-exalting and Heart-purifying Operations always attending it Of Faith and Repentance XIX WE believe that Faith is a saving Grace or the most precious Gift of God and that it is an Instrument whereby we receive take hold of and wholly rest upon Jesus Christ as offered to us in the Gospel That Repentance unto Life is also a saving Grace whereby a Sinner out of a true Sense of Sin and Apprehension of God's Mercy in Christ doth with Grief and Hatred of his Sins turn from them And that tho Repentance is in order of Nature called the first Principle of the Doctrine of Christ yet we believe no Man can savingly repent unless he believes in Jesus Christ and apprehends the Free Pardon and Forgiveness of all his Sins through the Blood of the everlasting Covenant and the Sight and Sense of God's Love in a bleeding Saviour being that only thing that melts and breaks the stony Heart of a poor Sinner as the Sight of a free Pardon from a Prince humbles the stout Heart of a rebellious Malefactor Of the Means of Grace XX. WE believe that the outward and more ordinary means whereby Christ communicates to us the Benefits of Redemption are his Holy Ordinances as Prayer the Word of God and Preaching with Baptism and the Lord's Supper c. and yet notwithstanding it is the Spirit of God that maketh Prayer Reading c. and specially the Preaching of the Word effectual to the convincing converting building up and comforting through Faith all the Elect of God unto Salvation And that it is the Duty of all that the Word may become effectual to their Salvation to attend upon it with all Diligence Preparation and Prayer that they may receive it with Faith and Love and lay it up in their Hearts and practise it in their Lives Of Baptism XXI WE believe that Baptism is a Holy Ordinance of Christ or a pure Gospel-Institution and to be unto the Party baptized a sign of his Fellowship with Christ in his Death Burial and Resurrection and of his being grafted into him and of Remission of Sins and of his giving himself up to God through Jesus Christ to walk in Newness of Life We also believe that Baptism ought not to be administred to any but to those who actually profess Repentance towards God and Faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ. That the Infants of Believers ought not to be baptized because there is neither Precept or Example or any certain Consequence in the Holy Scripture for any such Practice And we ought not to be wise above what is written And that a human Tradition or Custom ought not to be regarded but that it is sinful and abominable We believe also that Baptism is only rightly administred by Immersion or dipping the whole Body in Water into the Name of the Father and
nor can we know without them how and in what space of time God created all things Neither came we any other ways but by the holy Scriptures to the Knowledg of Christ the blessed Mediator which indeed none can savingly know but by the Word and Spirit of God Of Original Sin VII WE do believe that God having created Man he entered into a Covenant of Life with him upon the condition of perfect Obedience making the first Adam a common Head to all his Seed and that our first Parents being left to the freedom of their own Will fell from the Estate wherein they were created by eating of the forbidden Fruit and that Adam being set up as a publick Person we all sinned in him and fell with him into a state of Sin of Wrath and Misery the Sinfulness of which state consists in the guilt of Adam's first Sin the want of Original Righteousness and the Corruption of our whole Nature from whence all actual Sins proceed as Water out of a filthy and an unclean Fountain So that not only by Imputation all Men became Sinners in the first Adam but also as the same corrupt Nature is conveyed to all his Posterity who descend from him in ordinary Generation By this Sin all Mankind lost the Image of God and Communion with him being liable to all the Miseries of this Life and to Death itself and also are dead in Sins and Trespasses and obnoxious to the Wrath of God and the eternal Pains of Hell for ever Hence we say that all are conceiv'd and born in Sin and are the Children of Wrath even the Elect as well as others being wholly defiled in all the Faculties and Parts of Soul and Body and utterly indisposed and disabled to do any thing that is spiritually good and wholly inclined with a strong propensity to all things that are evil Of Man's Free-will VIII WE believe Man in his state of Innocency had freedom of Will to do good but by the Fall he hath utterly lost all that Power and Ability being wofully depraved in all the Faculties of his Soul there being in the Will and Mind of all naturally much Enmity against God and a total aversion to him and to every thing that is spiritually good loving Darkness and rebelling against the Light But when a Man is renewed by Divine Grace tho there is no force put upon the Will yet it is made willing and acts freely in the day of God's Power tho the Work is not perfect in any Faculty in the Regenerate nor will be in this Life Of Christ the Mediator IX WE believe that God having out of his own meer good Pleasure and infinite Love elected some Persons of the lost Seed of the first Adam unto everlasting Life from all Eternity did enter into a Covenant of Grace with the second Person of the Trinity who was set up as the common Head of all the Elect to deliver them out of the state of Sin and Misery and to bring them into a state of Salvation and eternal Happiness That the second Person in the Godhead being the eternal Son of God Coessential and Coequal with the Father according to that holy Covenant and Compact that was between them both became Man or assumed our Nature and so was and continueth to be God and Man in two distinct Natures in one Person for ever And that he the Son of God by his becoming Man did take unto him a True Body and Reasonable Soul being conceived by the holy Spirit in the Womb of the Virgin and was born of her yet without Sin Of the Offices of Christ. X. WE believe that the Lord Jesus Christ who is our Redeemer and the one blessed Mediator between God and Man executeth a threefold Office both the Office of a Priest the Office of a King and the Office of a Prophet First That he executeth the Office of a Priest 1. In his once offering up himself a Sacrifice to satisfy Divine Justice and to reconcile God to us and us to God 2. And in making continual Intercession for us that the Merits of his Blood may be made effectual unto us Secondly That he executeth the Office of a King in subduing us unto himself and in giving us Laws and holy Precepts by which we ought to walk and also in his restraining and conquering all his and our Enemies Thirdly That he executeth the Office of a Prophet in revealing to us by his Word and Spirit the whole Will of God concerning all things that appertain to Faith and Practice Of Christ's Humiliation and Exaltation XI WE believe that Christ's Humiliation consisted in that great Condescension of his in assuming our Nature and being born in a low condition made under the Law undergoing the many Miseries of this Life the Wrath of God the Curse of the Law and the ignominious Death of the Cross continuing under Death for a time And that his Exaltation consisteth in his rising again from the dead the third day and in his ascending up into Heaven in sitting at the Right-hand of God Angels Powers and Principalities being made subject unto him and in his being made Judg of the quick and dead Of effectual Calling XII WE do believe that we are made Partakers of the Redemption purchased by Christ by the effectual Application of his Merits c. unto us by the Holy Spirit thereby uniting us to Christ in effectual Calling And that effectual Calling is the Work of God's Free Grace who by his Spirit works Faith in us who are altogether passive therein and convincing us of Sin and Misery enlightning our Minds in the Knowledg of Christ and renewing our Wills and changing our whole Hearts he doth perswade and enable us to imbrace Jesus Christ freely as he is offered in the Gospel Of Justification XIII WE do believe Justification is a free Act of God's Grace through that Redemption which is in Christ who as our Head was acquitted justified and discharged and we in him when he rose from the Dead and when applied to us we in our own Persons are actually justified in being made and pronounced righteous through the Righteousness of Christ imputed to us and all our Sins past present and to come for ever pardon'd which is receiv'd by Faith alone And that our Sanctification nor Faith it self is any part of our Justification before God it not being either the Habit or Act of Believing or any Act of Evangelical Obedience imputed to us but Christ and his active and passive Obedience only apprehended by Faith and that Faith in no sense tends to make Christ's Merits more satisfactory unto God but that he was as fully reconciled and satisfied for his Elect in Christ by his Death before Faith as after otherwise it would render God only reconcileable not reconciled
or Elders a comfortable Maintenance as God hath ordained that he that preaches the Gospel should live of the Gospel and not of his own Labour but that he should wholly give himself up to the Work of the Ministry and to watch over the Flock being to be freed from all secular Business and Encumbrances of the World and yet that it is abominable Evil for any Man to preach the Gospel for filthy lucre sake but he must do it of a ready mind Of the First Covenant XXX WE believe that the first Covenant or Covenant of Works was primarily made with Adam and with all Mankind in him by virtue of which he stood in a justified state before the Fall upon the condition of his own perfect and personal Obedience But by the Fall he made himself uncapable of Life by that Covenant That the Law God gave by Moses to Israel was of the same nature of that given to Adam being a second Ministration of it but not given for Life but to make Sin exceeding sinful and to shew how unable Man was in his fallen state to fulfil the Righteousness of God and so with the Ceremonial Law it was given in subservienty to the Gospel as a Schoolmaster to bring Sinners to Christ. Of the New and Second Covenant XXXI WE believe the Covenant of Grace was primarily made with the second Adam and in him with all the Elect who as God-man or Mediator was set up from everlasting as a Common Person or as their Head and Representative who freely obliged or ingaged himself to the Father for them perfectly to keep the whole Law in their Nature that had sinned and to satisfy Divine Justice by bearing their Sins upon his own Body i. e. the Guilt of all their Sins which were laid upon him and that he sustain'd that Wrath and Curse in his Body and Soul that was due to them for all their Transgressions and having received their discharge from Wrath and Condemnation he gives it out to all that believe in him and obtain Union with him who are thereby brought actually into the said New Covenant and have a personal Right to all the Blessings thereof Of Election XXXII WE do believe that God from all Eternity according unto the most wise and holy Counsel of his own Will freely and unchangeably decreed and ordained for the manifestation of his own Glory some Angels and some of the lost Sons and Daughters of Adam unto eternal Life and that their number is so certain and definite that it cannot be either increased or diminished and that others are left or passed by under a Decree of Preterition And that those of Mankind that are predestinated and fore-ordained are particularly and personally design'd unto eternal Life and these God according to his eternal and immutable Purpose and good pleasure of his Will did chuse in Christ the Head of this Election unto everlasting Glory of his meer free Grace without any foreseen Faith or Obedience and Perseverance therein or any thing in the Creature as a Condition or Cause moving him thereunto and all this only to the Praise of his own glorious Grace Of final Perseverance XXXIII WE believe all those whom God hath chosen and who are effectually called justified and sanctified in Jesus Christ can neither totally nor finally fall away from a state of Grace but shall certainly persevere therein unto the end and eternally be saved and this by virtue of their Election or the immutable Decree of God and the unchangeable Love of God the Father and by virtue of their Union with Christ together with his Death Resurrection and Intercession as also from the nature of the Covenant of Grace and Suretyship of Christ and through the indwelling of the holy Spirit who abideth in them for ever Of the Resurrection XXXIV WE believe that the Bodies of all Men both the Just and Vnjust shall rise again at the last day even the same numerical Bodies that die tho the Bodies of the Saints shall be raised immortal and incorruptible and be made like Christ's glorious Body and that the dead in Christ shall rise first Of Eternal Judgment XXXV WE believe that God hath appointed a Day in which he will judg the World in Righteousness by Jesus Christ or that there shall be a general Day of Judgment when all shall stand before the Judgment-seat of Christ and give an account to him for all things done in this Body and that he will pass an eternal Sentence upon all according as their Works shall be Of Marriages XXXVI WE believe Marriage is God's holy Ordinance that is to say between one Man and one Woman and that no Man ought to have more than one Wife at once and that Believers that marry should marry in the Lord or such that are Believers or Godly Persons and that those who do otherwise sin greatly in violating God's holy Precept and that Ministers as well as others may marry for Marriage is honourable in all Of Civil Magistrates XXXVII WE do believe the supream Lord of Heaven and Earth hath ordained Magistrates for the good of Mankind and that it is our Duty in all civil and lawful things to obey them for Conscience sake nay and to pray for all that are in Authority that under them we may live a godly and peaceable Life and that we ought to render unto Cesar the things that are Cesar's and to God the things that are God's Of lawful Oaths XXXVIII WE do believe it is lawful to take some Oaths before the Civil Magistrate an Oath of Confirmation being to put an end to all Strife nay and that it is our Duty so to do when lawfully called thereunto and that those that swear ought to swear in Truth in Righteousness and in Judgment Of Personal Propriety XXXIX WE do believe that every Man hath a just and peculiar Right and Propriety in his own Goods and that they are not common to others yet we believe that every Man is obliged to administer to the poor Saints and to the publick Interest of God according to his Ability or as God hath blessed him FINIS POSTSCRIPT THere is something contained in the 13 th Article that may seem to want some Explication in these words speaking of a Man actually and personally justified that his Sins past present and to come are all forgiven We believing that if any Sins of a justified Person were afterwards charged upon him it must of necessity make a breach in his unalterable and everlasting Justification which is but one Act in God hence there is no Condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus yet I find an able and worthy Writer distinguisheth Pardon of Sin thus viz. 1. Fundamentally in Christ as a common Person of all the Elect before
Faith which lieth in Christ making full Satisfaction for all their Sins meriting Faith for them c. 2. Actual of all the Elect in Christ on believing this actual Pardon being nothing else but the actual Possession in their own Persons of their fundamental Pardon in the Person of Christ And Dr. Tho. Goodwin speaks to the same purpose to which I agree And that this actual Pardon of the legal Guilt is twofold 1. Formal of all their Sins past removing their legal Guilt 2. Virtual of all their Sins to come preventing their legal Guilt Dr. Ames speaks to the same purpose and many others I cannot see how a Believer should be for ever formally justified from all Sins past present and to come and yet not formally pardoned This Author which I have lately met with distinguisheth well between Legal Guilt and Gospel Guilt the first obliging to Divine Wrath or eternal Punishment the latter i. e. Gospel Guilt obliging to Gospel or Fatherly Chastisement for Gospel-Sins Now I see not but that as soon as a Believer is personally justified all his Sins tho not yet committed as to legal Guilt or vindictive Wrath i. e. that Guilt that obliges to eternal Condemnation are pardoned for the reason before Saith he Virtual Pardon keeps off Legal Guilt where it would be To which I reply if it be kept-off so that it never comes upon Believers then it follows they were actually pardon'd before in that respect yet he says Sins cannot be said to be formally pardon'd before formally committed but says no Guilt can come upon them to Condemnation tho new Guilt yet no new legal Guilt because always justified We see no hurt if his Terms be admitted Object What do Believers then pray for when they pray for the Pardon of Sin Answ. 1. That God would not chastise them sorely or afflict them as a Father according to the greatness of their Offences 2. That if his chastning Hand is upon us he would be pleased graciously to remove it 3. That he would be pleased to clear up to our Consciences or give us the evidence of our Pardon through Christ's Merits and that we may know we are compleat in Christ or without spot before the Throne in our free Justification 4. Nay Believers are to pray to God to remove that Sin from them saith this worthy Author whose desert of Punishment cannot be removed from it and to spread their Sins before the Lord in the highest sense of the deepest demerit of all legal Punishment so that they may put the higher accent upon the free Grace of God and estimate upon the full Satisfaction of Christ whereby their Persons are so fully freed from all actual Obligation to any Legal Punishment the whole and utmost whereof their Sins deserve 5. Moreover that God would continue and never revoke his most gracious Pardon till he pronounceth the final Sentence of it at the day of Judgment as well this Author notes for a renewed sense and assurance of its grant and continuance and thus to pray saith he there are both Precepts and Promises FINIS Joh. 4.24 Job 11.7 8 9.
