Concerning giving every man his due LONDON Printed for John Handcock at the Bible in Burchin-Lane 1642. I beleeve with all my heart and confesse with my mouth 1 Concerning the Scriptures THat all Scripture is by divine inspiration or inbreathing of God by Scripture I mean the books of the old Testament as Moses and the Prophets and of the new Testament and is profitable for doctrine for reproofe for correction for instruction in righteousnesse that the man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good works 1 Tim. 3.16 17. and that in all things which concern faith and obedience whether in Gods worship or in the whole conversation of men it holdeth forth a most perfect rule whereunto nothing may be added not from it may ought be diminished Deut. 4.2 Revel 22.18 19. Which also is so clear in all truths necessary to salvation that the entrance into it giveth light yea understanding to the simple Psal 19 7. 2. Concerning the Godhead in the Vnity of Essence and Trinity of Persons That God is a Spirit most holy immutable eternall every way infinite in greatnesse goodnesse power wisedome justice truth and in all divine perfections 1 Tim. 6.15 16. Joh. 4.24 Isa 6.6 Exod. 34.6 7. And that in this Godhead are three distinct Persons coeternall coequall and coessentiall being every one of them one and the same God not three Gods and therefore not divided in essence nature or being Deut. 4.3 but distinguished one from another by their severall and peculiar relative property the Father is of none but of himself the Son is begotten of the Father before all worlds the holy Ghost proceedeth from the Father and the Son from all eternity and together are to be worshipped and glorified 3. Concerning the Decrees of God That God hath unchangeably decreed in himself from everlasting touching all things great and small necessary contingent and voluntary with all the circumstances of them to work and dispose them according to the counsell of his own will yet without being Author of or having fellowship with the sins of any to the praise and glory of his great Name And touching the eternall estate of men that God hath according to his most wise free and unchangeable purpose in himself before the foundation of the world chosen some in Jesus Christ to eternall life to the praise and glory of his grace and rejected or reprobated others to the praise of his justice 4. Concerning Creation and Providence That in the beginning God made by his Word all things of nothing very good and made man male and female after his own Image righteous and as a faithfull Creator doth still uphold dispose and govern all things to the ends for which they were created having care especially for man and amongst men chiefly for the righteous and beleevers so that neither good nor evil befalls any man without Gods providence 5. Concerning the fall of man and originall sin That inasmuch as Adam was the root of all mankinde the law and covenant of works was given to him as to a publike person and to an head from whence all good or evil was to be derived to his posteritie seeing therefore that by the subtilty of the Serpent which Satan used as his instrument first Eve then Adam being seduced did wittingly and willingly fall into the disobedience of the Commandment of God Death came upon all justly and reigned over all yea over Infants also which have not sinned after the like manner of the transgression of Adam hence also it is that all since the fall of Adam are begotten in his own likenesse after his Image being conceived and born in iniquitie and so by nature children of wrath dead in trespasses and sins altogether filthie and polluted throughout in soul and body utterly averse from any spirituall good strongly bent to all evill and subject to all calamities due to sin in this world and forever 6. Concerning mans Restitution That all Mankind being thus fallen yet the elect and only they are redeemed reconciled to God and saved not of themselves neither by their own works but onely by the mighty power of God of his unsearchable rich free grace and mercy through faith in Jesus Christ who of God is made unto us wisedom righteousnesse sanctification and redemption in the relation both of a surety to satisfie Gods justice for us and of an head to restore the Image of God that was lost and repaire the nature that was corrupted in us 7. Concerning the Person and natures in Christ That the Lord Jesus of whom Moses and the Prophets wrote and whom the Apostles preached is as touching his Person the everlasting Son of God the Father by eternall generation coessentiall coequall and coeternall God with him and with the holy Ghost by whom he made the world and by whom he upholdeth and governs all the works he hath made who also when the fulnesse of time was come was made of a woman of the Tribe of Judah of the seed of David and Abraham viz. of Mary that blessed Virgin by the holy Ghost coming upon her and the power of the most high over-shadowing her and was in all things like unto us sin onely excepted so that in the person of Christ the two natures the divine and humane are truly perfectly indivisibly and distinctly united 8. Concerning the Offices of Christ That Jesus Christ is the onely Mediatour of the new Testament even of the Covenant of grace between God and man the Prophet Priest and King of the Church of God for evermore and this office is so proper to Christ as neither in the whole not any part thereof it can be transferred from him to any other And to this office he was from everlasting and in respect of his Manhood from the wombe called separated and anointed most fully with all necessary gifts as it is written God hath not measured out
