Take the helmet of saluation and the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God 12. Heb. 4. The word of the Lord is quick and powerfull and sharper then any two edged sword piercing euen to the deuiding asunder of soule and spirit and of the ioynts and marrow and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart 2. 1. Pet. 2. As new borne babes desire the sincere milke of the word that yee may grow thereby 15. 1 The word of the Lord endureth for euer and this is the word which by the Gospell is preached vnto you 2. Tim. 3. 16. All Scripture is giuen by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproofe for correction for instruction in righteousnesse 17. That the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished vnto all good works 2. Pet. 1. 20. No prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation 21. For the prophecie came not in old time by the will of man But holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost 7. Psal 19. The law of the Lord is perfect conuerting the soule the testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple 6. 12. The words of the Lord are pure words as siluer tryed in a furnace of earth purified seuen times 104. 119. Through thy precepts I get vnderstanding Therfore I hate euery false way 100. I vnderstand more then the ancients because I keepe thy precepts 118. Thou hast trodden downe all them that erre from thy statutes for their deceit is falshood Psal 119. 105. Thy word is a lampe vnto my feet and a light vnto my path 165. Great peace haue they which loue thy law And nothing shall offend them 130. The entrance of thy words giueth light it giueth vnderstanding to the simple Phil 3. 16. Whereto we haue already attained let vs walke by the same rule let vs minde the same thing Gal. 6. 16. As many as walke according to this rule Peace be on them and mercie and vpon the Israel of God The Church 23. Ephes 5 CHrist is the head of the Church and he is the Saviour of the bodie 18. Col. 1. Hee is the head of the body the Church who is the beginning the first borne from the dead that in all things he might haue the preheminence 24. I now reioyce in my sufferings for you and fill vp that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his bodies sake which is the Church 1. Cor. 12. 14. The bodie is not one member but many 18. GOD hath set the members euery one of them in the body as it hath pleased him 19. And if they were all one member where were the bodie 20. But now are they many members yet but one body 24. God hath tempered the bodie together hauing giuē more abundant honour to that part which lacked 25. That there should be no schisme in the body but that the members should haue the same care one for another 26. And whether one member suffer al the members suffer with it or one member bee honoured all the members reioyce with it 27 Now ye are the body of Christ and members in particular 25. Ephe. 5. Christ loued the Church and gaue himselfe for it 26. That he might sanctifie and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word 27. That he might present it to himselfe a glorious Church not hauing spotte or wrinkle or any such thing but that it should he holy and without blemish 1. Tim. 3. 15. The Church of God is the house of the liuing God the pillar and ground of truth Acts 2. 47. The Lord added to the Church dayly such as should be saued 42. And they continued stedfast in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship and in breaking of bread and in prayers Ioh. 10. 27. My sheepe heare my voyce and I know them and they follow me 28. And I giue vnto them eternall life and they shal neuer perish neither shall any man plucke them out of my hand 5. A stranger will they not follow but flie from him for they know not the voice of strangers 37. Ioh. 18. Euery one that is of the trueth heareth my voice 19. Ephes 2. Now therefore ye are no more strangers and forreyners but fellow Citizens with the saints and of the houshold of God 20. And are built vpon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets Iesus Christ being the chiefe corner stone 21. In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth vnto an holy temple in the Lord. 22. In whom you also are builded together for an habitation of GOD through the Spirit Traditions Col. 2. 8. BEware lest any man spoile you through Philosohie and vaine deceit after the tradition of men after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ 17. 2. Pet. 2. These are wells without water cloudes that are caried with a tempest to whom the myst of darknesse is reserued for euer 4. My speech 2. Cor. 2. my preaching was not with inticing words of mans wisedome but in demonstratiō of the spirit and of power 5. That your faith should not stand in the wisedome of Men but in the power of God 6. We speake wisdome among them that are perfect yet not the wisdome of this world nor of the Princes of this world that come to nought 7. But wee speake the wisdome of God in a mistery euen the hidden wisdome which God ordained before the world to our glory 2. Cor. 3. 19. For the wisdome of this world is foolishnesse with God for it is written he taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse Ier. 23. 28. The Prophet that hath a dreame let him tell a dreame and he that hath my word let him speake my word faithfully what is the chaffe to the wheate saith the Lord. Mat. 16. 6. Take heed and beware of the leauen of the Pharises and of the Sadduces 13. Isa 29. Forasmuch as this people drawe neere mee with their mouth and with their lipps doe honor me but haue remoued their heart farre from mee and their feare towards me is taught by the precepts of men 14. The wisedome of their wise men shal perish and the vnderstanding of their prudent men shall be hid 7. Mar. 7. In vaine they do worship me teaching for doctrines the commandemēts of men Isa 8. 20. To the law and to the Testimony If they speake not according to this word it is because there is no light in them 66. 3. They haue chosen their owne waies and their soule delighteth in their abhominations Ier. 6. 10. Their eare is vncircumcised and

Surely men of low degree are vanitie and men of high degree are a lie to be laid in the ballance they are altogether lighter then vanitie 39. 5. Verily euery man at his best state is altogether vanitie The end of the world 3. Math. 24. AS Iesus sate vpon the Mount of Oliues the disciples came vnto him priuately saying tell vs what shall bee the signe of thy comming and of the end of the world 4. And Iesus answered and said vnto them Take heede that no man deceiue you 5. For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceiue many 6. And yee shall heare of warres and rumors of warres See that yee bee not troubled for all these things must come to passe but the end is not yet Math 24. 7. For nation shall rise against nation and kingdome against kingdome and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diuers places 8. All these are but the beginning of sorrowes 9. Then shall they deliuer you vp to be afflicted and shall kill you and yee shall bee hated of all Nations for my names sake 10. And they shall many be offended and shall betray one another and shall hate one another 11. And many false prophets shall arise and shall deceiue many 12. And because iniquitie shall abound the loue of many shall waxe cold 13. But hee that shall endure vnto the end shall be saued 14. And this Gospell of the Kingdome shall be preached in all the world for a witnesse vnto all Nations and then shall the end come 21. Then shall be great tribulation such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time no not euer shall bee Mat. 24. 22. And except those dayes should bee shortned there should no flesh bee saued but for the elects sake those dayes shall bee shortned 24. There shall arise false christs and false prophets and shal shew great signes and wonders in so much that if it were possible they shall deceiue the very elect 2. Tim. 3. 1. This know also that in the last dayes perilous times shall come 2. For men shall bee louers of their owne selues couetous boasters proud blasphemers disobedient to Parents vnthankefull vnholy 3. Without naturall affection truce-breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good 4. Traytors heady high minded louers of pleasures more then louers of God 5. Hauing a forme of godlinesse but denying the power thereof from such turne away 6. For of this sort are they which creepe into houses and leade captiue silly women ladē with sins led away with diuers lusts 7. Euer learning and neuer able to come to the knowledge of the truth 2. Tim. 3. 8. Now as Iannes Iambres withstood Moses so do these also resist the truth men of corrupt mindes reprobate concerning faith 9. But they shall proceede no further for their folly shall bee manifested vnto all men as theirs also was Luke 21. 25. And there shall be signes in the Sunne and in the Moone and in the starres and vpon the earth distresse of nations with perplexitie the sea and the waters shall roare 26. Mens heart fayling them for feare and for looking after those things which are comming on the earth for the powers of heauen shal be shaken 27. And then shall they see the sonne of man comming in a cloude with power and great glory 28. And when these things shall begin to come to passe then looke vp and lift vp your heads for your redemption draweth nigh 13. Mar. 13. But of that day and houre knoweth no man not the Angels in heauen nor the son but the father Luke 21. 36. Watch yee therefore and pray alwayes that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to passe and to stand before the sonne of man 1. Thes 4. 15. For this we say vnto you by the word of the Lord that wee which are aliue and remaine vnto the comming of the Lord shall not preuent them which are asleepe 16. For the Lord himselfe shall descend from heauen with a shoute with the voice of the Archangel and with the trumpe of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first 17. Then we which are aliue and remaine shall bee caught vp together with them in the clouds to meete the Lord in the aire and so shall we euer be with the Lord. The Iudgement 27. Heb. 9. IT is appointed vnto all men to die but after this the Iudgement 7. Eccles. 12. The dust shall returne to the earth as it was and the spirit shall returne to God who gaue it 1. 2. Cor. 5.

He that heareth my Word and beleeueth on him that sent me hath euerlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death vnto life 18. Psal 37. The Lord knoweth the daies of the vpright and their inheritance shall be for euer 20. But the wicked shall perish and the enemies of the Lord shall bee as the fat of lambes they shall consume into smoke shall they consume away 23. Rom. 6. The wages of sinne is death but the gift of GOD is eternall life thorough Iesus Christ our Lord. 22. The begger died Luke 16 and was carried by the Angels into Abrahams bosome the rich man also died and was buried 23. And in hell hee lift vp his eyes being in torments and seeth Abraham afarre off and Lazarus in his bosome 24. And he cryed and said father Abraham haue mercie on me and send Lazarus that hee may dip the tip of his finger in water and coole my tongue for I am tormented in this flame 25. But Abraham said sonne remember that thou in thy life time receiuedst thy good things and likewise Lazarus euill things but now he is comforted and thou art tormented 13.

Let vs therefore follow after the things which make for peace and things wherewith one may edifie another Loue and Charitie 7. BEloued 1. Iohn 4. let vs loue one another for loue is of God and euery one that loueth is borne of God and knoweth God 8. Hee that loueth not knoweth not God for God is loue 12.

If a man say I loue GOD and hateth his brother hee is a lier for hee that loueth not his brother whom he hath seene how can he loue God whom he hath not seene 21. And this commandement haue wee from him that hee that loueth GOD loue his brother also 10. Rom. 13. Loue worketh no ill to his neighbour therefore loue is the fullfilling of the law 14. Gal. 5.

Let vs lift vp our heart with our hands vnto God in the heauens 14. 1. Cor. 14. If I pray in an vnknowne tongue my spirit prayeth but mine vnderstanding is vnfruitfull 15. I will pray with the spirit and will pray with vnderstanding also 19. In the Church I had rather speake fiue words with my vnderstanding that by my voice I might teach others also then ten thousand words in an vnknowne tongue 8.

So likewise you except yee vtter by the tongue words easie to bee vnderstood how shall it bee knowne what is spoken for ye speake into
of me 20. Likewise also the cup after supper saying this cup is the new Testament in my blood which is shed for you 16. 1. Co. 10. The cup of blessing which wee blesse is it not the Communion of the blood of CHRIST The bread which we breake is it not the Communion of the body of Christ 17. For we being many are one bread and one body for we are all partakers of that one bread 23. The Lord Iesus the same night in which hee was betraied tooke bread 24. And when hee had giuen thankes he brake it and said take eate this is my body which is broken for you this doe in remembrance of mee Cor. 11. 25. After the same manner also hee tooke the cup when he had supped saying this cup is the new Testament in my blood this doe as oft as ye drinke it in remembrance of me 26. For as often as yee eate this bread and drinke this cup yee doe shew the Lords death till he come 27. Wherefore who soeuer shall eate this bread and drinke this cup of the Lord vnworthily shall bee guiltie of the body and bloud of the Lord. 28. But let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of that bread and drinke of that cup. 29. For he that eateth and drinketh vnworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himselfe not discerning the Lords body 3. Cor. 10. Our fathers did all eate the same spirituall meate 4. And did all drinke the same spirituall drinke for they dranke of that spirituall rocke that followed them and that rocke was Christ 35. Iesus said Ioh. 6 I am the bread of life he that commeth to mee shall neuer hunger and he that beleeueth on me shall neuer thirst 51. I am the liuing bread which came downe from heauen If any man eate of this bread he shall liue for euer and the bread that I will giue is my flesh which I will giue for the life of the world 56. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood dwelleth in me and I in him 58. Not as your fathers did eate Manna and are dead he that eateth of this bread shall liue for euer 63. Iohn 6. It is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing the words that I speake vnto you they are spirit and they are life 28. 16.
