apostle_n creed_n as_o they_o say_v and_o not_o in_o the_o article_n when_o the_o word_n of_o the_o article_n speak_v as_o express_o of_o it_o as_o the_o creed_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o article_n contain_v nothing_o of_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n when_o the_o 10._o article_n begin_v thus_o the_o condition_n of_o man_n after_o the_o fall_n of_o adam_n be_v such_o and_o then_o go_v on_o to_o express_v the_o condition_n of_o man_n fall_v it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o article_n contain_v nothing_o of_o sin_n or_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n when_o the_o 9_o article_n give_v a_o full_a description_n of_o original_a sin_n which_o be_v itself_o a_o sin_n and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o other_o sin_n when_o the_o 15._o article_n show_v christ_n alone_o to_o be_v without_o sin_n and_o sin_n to_o be_v in_o every_o one_o beside_o he_o when_o the_o 16._o article_n treat_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o sin_n after_o baptism_n when_o the_o second_o homily_n who_o doctrine_n be_v approve_v by_o the_o article_n treat_v at_o large_a of_o the_o misery_n of_o all_o mankind_n and_o of_o his_o condemnation_n to_o death_n everlasting_a by_o his_o own_o sin_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o the_o article_n contain_v nothing_o of_o effectual_a call_n when_o the_o 17._o article_n treat_v of_o predestination_n to_o life_n have_v these_o word_n wherefore_o they_o which_o be_v endue_v with_o so_o excellent_a a_o benefit_n of_o god_n be_v call_v according_a to_o god_n purpose_n by_o his_o spirit_n work_v in_o due_a season_n they_o through_o grace_n obey_v the_o call_n they_o be_v justify_v free_o they_o be_v make_v son_n of_o god_n by_o adoption_n etc._n etc._n certain_o this_o be_v a_o effectual_a call_v and_o that_o with_o something_o of_o adoption_n it_o can_v be_v say_v the_o article_n contain_v nothing_o of_o faith_n when_o the_o 4._o homily_n the_o doctrine_n whereof_o be_v confirm_v by_o the_o article_n treat_v sole_o thereof_o according_a to_o the_o title_n a_o short_a declaration_n of_o the_o true_a lively_a and_o christian_a faith_n much_o less_o can_v it_o be_v say_v they_o contain_v nothing_o of_o repentance_n when_o the_o 19_o homily_n entitle_v of_o repentance_n be_v express_o name_v article_n 35._o and_o the_o doctrine_n acknowledge_v which_o homily_n treat_v large_o of_o that_o subject_n in_o three_o part_n it_o can_v be_v say_v the_o article_n contain_v nothing_o of_o the_o law_n when_o the_o 7._o article_n speak_v of_o the_o state_n of_o those_o which_o live_v under_o the_o law_n of_o the_o cessation_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a law_n and_o the_o continue_a obligation_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n from_o these_o and_o other_o which_o i_o may_v yet_o mention_v it_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v not_o just_o charge_v upon_o the_o article_n that_o they_o contain_v nothing_o of_o the_o doctrine_n enumerate_v as_o for_o the_o other_o part_n pretend_v a_o necessity_n of_o add_v or_o insert_v those_o doctrine_n or_o head_n of_o divinity_n because_o teach_v as_o they_o say_v by_o the_o scripture_n as_o necessary_a which_o they_o prove_v only_o thus_o because_o as_o they_o say_v it_o appear_v by_o the_o comprise_v most_o of_o they_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o it_o can_v possible_o appear_v thereby_o for_o grant_v that_o most_o of_o they_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n grant_v that_o whatsoever_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n be_v teach_v by_o the_o scripture_n as_o necessary_a yet_o it_o no_o way_n follow_v that_o the_o other_o head_n or_o common-place_n not_o comprise_v in_o the_o creed_n be_v teach_v by_o the_o scripture_n as_o necessary_a for_o no_o doctrine_n in_o the_o creed_n can_v transfer_v the_o necessity_n of_o it_o to_o another_o which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o creed_n or_o if_o it_o can_v it_o must_v be_v by_o a_o necessary_a consequence_n from_o it_o or_o dependence_n of_o it_o but_o if_o any_o one_o shall_v argue_v thus_o the_o doctrine_n of_o creation_n be_v comprise_v in_o the_o creed_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v esteem_v as_o necessary_a therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n which_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o the_o creed_n must_v be_v equal_o esteem_v as_o necessary_a the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o last_o judgement_n be_v necessary_a as_o contain_v in_o the_o creed_n therefore_o the_o doctrine_n of_o marriage_n and_o church-discipline_n be_v necessary_a which_o be_v not_o contain_v in_o it_o i_o say_v if_o any_o one_o shall_v argue_v thus_o a_o man_n with_o modesty_n may_v deny_v the_o consequence_n if_o therefore_o most_o of_o the_o doctrine_n mention_v be_v comprise_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o all_o the_o rest_n be_v necessary_a second_o i_o answer_v by_o a_o flat_a denial_n the_o most_o of_o those_o doctrine_n mention_v be_v not_o comprise_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n which_o thus_o i_o make_v good_a the_o doctrine_n mention_v as_o not_o at_o all_o contain_v in_o the_o article_n be_v these_o 1._o creation_n 2._o providence_n 3._o fall_v of_o man_n 4._o sin_n 5._o punishment_n of_o sin_n 6._o god_n covenant_n 7._o effectual_a calling_n 8._o adoption_n 9_o sanctification_n 10._o faith_n 11._o repentance_n 12._o perseverance_n 13._o law_n of_o god_n 14._o christian_a liberty_n and_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n 15._o sabbath_n or_o lord_n day_n 16._o marriage_n and_o divorce_n 17._o communion_n of_o saint_n 18._o church-government_n and_o discipline_n 19_o resurrection_n 20._o the_o last_o judgement_n which_o be_v in_o number_n 20._o at_o the_o least_o but_o the_o most_o part_n of_o these_o be_v not_o comprise_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n except_o four_o or_o five_o be_v the_o most_o part_n of_o 20._o i_o answer_v third_o that_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o very_o strange_a objection_n to_o say_v that_o most_o of_o these_o doctrine_n be_v comprise_v in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n and_o nothing_o of_o they_o contain_v in_o the_o article_n when_o the_o apostle_n creed_n itself_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o article_n and_o two_o creed_n more_o which_o have_v be_v general_o look_v upon_o as_o the_o exposition_n of_o that_o creed_n for_o these_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o 8._o article_n the_o three_o creed_n nice_a creed_n athanasius_n creed_n and_o that_o which_o be_v common_o call_v the_o apostle_n creed_n ought_v thorough_o to_o be_v receive_v and_o believe_v be_v then_o several_a of_o those_o doctrine_n be_v contain_v in_o the_o article_n be_v they_o be_v no_o otherwise_o prove_v to_o be_v necessary_a then_o because_o they_o be_v comprise_v in_o the_o creed_n be_v far_o the_o major_a part_n of_o they_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o creed_n be_v all_o which_o be_v in_o the_o creed_n must_v be_v contain_v in_o the_o article_n which_o contain_v the_o creed_n itself_o i_o therefore_o conclude_v the_o three_o argument_n do_v no_o way_n prove_v that_o the_o article_n be_v defective_a again_o be_v those_o be_v no_o more_o than_o these_o three_o argument_n bring_v to_o evince_v the_o defectiveness_n and_o all_o these_o be_v answer_v be_v i_o have_v former_o show_v the_o invalidity_n of_o those_o which_o pretend_v to_o prove_v the_o doubtfulness_n of_o our_o doctrine_n be_v there_o be_v no_o other_o topic_n use_v beside_o these_o two_o of_o the_o doubtfulness_n and_o defectiveness_n of_o the_o article_n to_o prove_v the_o necessity_n of_o a_o reformation_n i_o therefore_o stick_v to_o my_o first_o conclusion_n there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o a_o reformation_n of_o the_o public_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n have_v thus_o vindicate_v the_o doctrine_n in_o itself_o we_o shall_v now_o consider_v by_o what_o authority_n it_o be_v establish_v have_v show_v that_o it_o want_v not_o any_o reformation_n we_o will_v inquire_v whether_o it_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o any_o confirmation_n certain_a it_o be_v that_o the_o public_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v repute_v to_o be_v establish_v by_o law_n but_o divers_a minister_n of_o sundry_a county_n tell_v we_o that_o though_o it_o be_v repute_v yet_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o so_o establish_v to_o make_v way_n for_o as_o clear_v a_o determination_n of_o this_o question_n as_o i_o can_v i_o shall_v show_v all_o the_o way_n by_o which_o the_o article_n of_o our_o church_n have_v be_v confirm_v and_o then_o consider_v upon_o the_o whole_a whether_o it_o amount_v to_o a_o legal_a confirmation_n or_o no_o the_o first_o article_n of_o religion_n frame_v since_o the_o reformation_n be_v make_v in_o the_o reign_n of_o edward_n the_o six_o in_o the_o year_n 1552._o the_o authority_n which_o they_o have_v be_v from_o the_o king_n
