heretique and deforme and dissigure the dwelling place the fellowship and communion of such heretiques is to be abandoned and such a Synagogue to be auoided We must shake off the dust from our feete lest the drought of our barren vnfaithfulnesse prepare and make the way sandy and hard to the true progresse and passage of our mindes and vnderstandings So if there be any Church as he saith afterward that renounceth the true faith and doth not keepe and obserue the foundation and ground of the Apostles preaching it is to be left and forsaken that it beget not the corruption of vntruth Seeing then I haue found Christ onely and his doctrine dwelling in the reformed Church and haue seene that erronious teachers do deforme disgrace the habitation of the Church of Rome I haue deseruedly left the one that I may cleaue to embrace the other that according to the commandement of the Apostle saying Do not company together with idolaters And againe Haue no fellowship with the vnfruitfull workes of darkenesse but euen reproue the rather And what more vnfruitfull worke is there then to embrace false doctrine and heresie In another place We command you brethren in the name of our Lord Iesus Christ that ye withdraw your selues from euery brother that walketh inordinately and not after the instruction which he receiued from vs. And to Titus Reiect him that is an heretique after once or twice admonition And the Apostle moreouer saith thus If any preach the Gospell vnto you otherwise then you haue heard and receiued it let him be accursed And a little before that Although any yea an Angell from heauen should teach you any other doctrine then that we haue preached vnto you let him be accursed But I will no longer stay vpon those places of the Prophets wherein the people is oftentimes exhorted to leaue and go out of Babylon which I know the Church of Rome both imitates and followes Let it not be obiected vnto me by any aduersary that I haue denyed my baptisme by which I am consecrated to almighty God for I onely renonunce the vaine ceremonies vsed therein by the Bishops without authority of holy Scriptures The vertue whereof I know to depend on God not in man that administers the same vnto me Seeing thē it is the part of a louing mother not onely to bring vp her children in the obedience and feare of God but to instruct them also and nurse them vp with the food of his heauenly word and so vnite them to Christ as I haue bene consecrated to God by baptisme in the Church of Rome so in the same I haue bene seduced from Christ by humane inuentions I haue therefore worthily and of right made choice of that Church in which the true baptisme is sincerely administred and the sound doctrine thereof is faithfully deliuered to such as are baptised through the whole course of their liues Besides I perswade my selfe and that truely that I am more deepely bound to God the Father God the Son and God the holy Ghost being three Persons yet onely God then the Church of Rome which hath forsaken and rebelled against that faith which the Apostles in times past so highly commended in her and against whom that imputation of reproach may worthily be had which was once laid vpon the Church of the Iewes in these words And their sonnes whom they beare vnto me they haue offered to Idols to be deuoured And againe in the same Prophet They haue played the whores and bloud is in their handes and with their idols haue they committed adultery And what is it else to commēd the inuocation of soules the adoration of images the obseruation of Purgatory and of Pardons They glorie of the workes of Supererogation the rules and examples of men that are sinners as Francis Dominicke Bruno Celestine Ignatius Loyola and others and especially to thurst yong men and women against their wils into a monastery What is this else as I say but to be consecrated to idols and to superstitious worshipping and in the end to the deuill himselfe and damnation And because as it is well knowne vnto me the Papists thinke we walke not after the right decrees and determinations of the true Church neither beleeue those things which are to be beleeued I will therefore seeing as God hath commanded I am separated and come from among them relate those things which we faithfully hold and imbrace For as Paul saith I am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ for it is the power of God vnto saluation to euery one that beleeueth Before all things we beleeue in God the Father Almighty maker of heauen and earth and in his Word begotten of the Father and in the holy Ghost proceeding from them both to whom their due and distinct properties are to be attributed in which according to Essence we neither separate the Sonne nor the holy Ghost from the Father nor contrary to the opinion of the Manicheys diuide the Father from the Sonne or from the holy Ghost but we beleeue that they haue one vnity of Essence and Trinitie of Persons without any confusion Which vnitie and trinitie as Hilary Ambrose and many others teach cannot perfectly be comprehended by naturall reason but is apprehēded by faith as many other hiddē mysteries of God of which S. Paul speaketh Oh the deepnesse of the riches both of the wisedome and knowledge of God How vnsearchable are his iudgements and his wayes past finding out All honor be giuen to the blessed Trinity being one God and to whom is equall glory in three Persons contrary to the opinion of Arrius that blasphemously takes away the equality of Persons holding the Sonne to be inferior and the holy Ghost to be seruant to God the Father Of Christ the Sonne VVE beleeue in Iesus Christ his onely begotten Sonne the Redeemer and Mediator of mankind through whom in the holy Ghost he created all things in the beginning not that he redeemed mankind without the Father which sent his Sonne to be the Redeemer of the world or without the holy Ghost by whom man is conceiued and annointed but because the only person of the Sonne tooke vpon him humane nature and by his death and passion payd the price of our redemption and is but one person contrary to the opinion of Nestorius that maintained two We beleeue also that Christ was borne of the virgine Mary according to humane nature it selfe by the inspiration of the holy Ghost and we beleeue with the Catholicke Church that she was a virgin before the birth in the birth and after the birth against Heluidius whom S. Hierome vtterly disallowes so doth S. Ambrose S. Augustine and S. Thomas We beleeue also that Christ our Lord suffered vnder Pontius Pilate was crucified dead and buried and descended into hell and the third day rose againe not by anothers meanes as Lazarus and others but by his

God all the dayes of my life I likewise desire those on whom God hath powred his grace hauing miraculously preserued them in his Church with constancy and perseuerance without hauing diuorced themselues or committed apostacie as I haue done to praise God with all their hearts and continually to giue him thanks for it is a most great miracle which proceedeth not from their owne force and vertue but from the holy and liberall hand of God our Father Wherefore let them perseuere in louing of God and flie from finne and vices and being of a good courage the kingdome of Antichrist will fall and that of Iesus Christ shall be established but before that hapneth the diuell will enforce himselfe more then euer he did to make warre against the Church Behold wherefore if euer the children of God haue had need of prudence and wisedome surely to direct their vncertaine paths according to the word of God it is now in this pitifull and sorrowfull time wherein Satan enimy vnto all righteousnesse and godlinesse seemeth to haue so much authoritie euen ouer the elect that if they were not miraculously aided and defended by the holy and liberall hand of God our Father they should not onely be vtterly cast downe but the earth would soone be reduced vnto the same state that Sodome and Gomorra was in times past Let prayer therefore accompanied with true repentance be our refuge vnto him who will neuer forsake his inheritance and that will cause the assaults of Antichrist to perish as he once drowned Pharaoh in the sea To make an end I beseech you pray vnto God for me and if any one among you haue any bookes which in times past haue beene printed in my name in diuerse languages bookes full of iests lies and false suppositions I desire they may be burnt and consumed to ashes I will not likewise passe ouer in silence that in the confutation of those bookes and in some histories wherein mention is made of my fall there are some clauses ignorantly set downe which I impute not so much to the inconsiderate zeale of the Authors as to mine owne fault which God would iustly punish and correct hauing placed me vpon the scaffold of his wrath and indignation as I had most iustly deserued If you aide me with your prayers vnto God and if you be imitators of that great mercy which he hath shewed this day vnto me which I beseech you beare in minde I will praise God for your pietie and pray vnto him to continue his mercy towards you and yours with long life and happy dayes The prayer of king Manasses when he was prisoner in Babylon O Lord Almightie God of our fathers Abraham Isaac and Iacob and of all the righteous seed of thine elect which hast made heauen earth with all their ornaments which hast bound the sea by the word of thy commandement which hast shut vp the deep and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name whom all doe feare and tremble before thy power for the Maiestie of thy glory cannot be borne and thine angry threatning towards sinners is importable but thy mercy is vnmeasurable and vnsearchable for thou art the most high Lord of great compassion long suffering and most mercifull and repentest for mans miseries Thou O Lord hast promised of thy great mercy to giue grace of repentance and mercy vnto those that haue sinned against thee and hast appointed repentance vnto those that are sinners that thou mightest saue them by the greatnesse of thy compassions Thou therefore O Lord which art the God of the iust hast not appointed repentance vnto the iust as to Abraham Isaac and Iacob nor for those that haue not sinned against thee but for me that am a sinner for I haue sinned aboue the number of the saud of the sea my transgressions are exceeding many and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of the heauens For the multitude of mine vnrighteousnes I am bowed downe with many and great sinnes and cannot lift vp my head neither haue any release but onely in thy free mercy for I haue prouoked thy wrath and done euill before thee I haue not done thy will neither kept thy commaundements but haue most wickedly committed sinne and iniquitie in thy presence and wilfully multiplied sinne vpon sinne Now therefore O Lord I bowe the knees of my heart beseeching thee of grace and mercie I haue sinned O Lord I haue sinned done euill before thee but I humbly beseech thee forgiue me O Lord forgiue me and destroy me not in the multitude of mine vnrighteousnesse be not angry with me for euer by reseruing euill for me neither cast me into the bottomlesse pit of hel for thou art the God euen the God of them that repent And in me I beseech thee shew foorth thy goodnesse in sauing me that am vnworthy in the multitude of thy great mercie and I will praise thee all my life long for euer for all the powers of heauen praise thee and thine is all glory for euer and euer Amen The Conuersion of a Doctor in Spaine SEeing Almighty God who is the chiefest goodnesse and felicity and maketh his grace and goodnesse communicable to other things hath participated himselfe in things we see not and touching the Diuinity to the Son by generation contrary to the opinion of Arrius and Samosatenus and to the holy Ghost by proceeding contrary also to Macedonius and Eunomius arch-heretiques euen according to his infinite Essence without any distinction or deuiding of the same and to be equall with him in deity stance Therefore the Sonne begotten of the Father and not made and the holy Ghost which proceedeth from the Father and the Sonne as from one beginning haue the same essence in number and inseparable nature with the Father contrary to the opinion of the Valentines which faine more then one yet his Persons viz. of the Father of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost are in number distinguished and deuided contrary to the Sabellians who dreame they are all but one Person For the Person of the Father is one of the Son another and of the holy Ghost another But of the Father the Sonne and the holy God there is but one Diuinity one equall glory and one coeternall Maiesty God himselfe is immutable in his counsels neither can he be any way hindered or deceiued in the same By reason whereof it comes to passe that whasoeuer happeneth the same he hath determined from eternity who in things that we see by his word as he saw good hath created all things of nothing and made and disposed in order the heauens the earth the sea and whatsoeuer is therein contained by his euer-liuing Sonne working with the Father who also by his infinite and consubstantiall power and vertue viz. by the holy Ghost administers all things in his diuine Prouidence In this participatiō God remaines in himselfe imparting his Essence to other
