Goodwin Mr. Nye Mr. Sydrach Simson and other Ministers to the Committee of Parliament for Religion by way of explanation to the Proposals for propagating of the Gospel FIrst That the holy Scripture is that rule of knowing God and living unto him which who so doth not beleeve but betakes himself to any other way of discovering truth and the minde of God instead thereof cannot be saved 2 Thess 2. 10 11 12. Because they received not the love of the Truth that they might be saved and for this cause God shall send them strong delusions that they should beleeve a Lye that they all might be damned who beleeve not the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness vers 13. But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you Brethren beloved of the Lord because God hath from the beginning chosen you to Salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth vers 14. whereunto he called you by our Gospel to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ 15. Therefore Brethren stand fast and hold the traditions which yee have been taught whether by word or our Epistle 1 Cor. 15. 1 2 3. Moreover Brethren I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you which also you have received and wherein yee stand By which also yee are saved if yee keep in memory what I Preached unto you unless yee have beleeved in vain For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures 2 Cor. 1. 13. For we write none other things unto you then what you read or acknowledge and I trust you shall acknowledge even to the end compared with Acts 26. 22 c. Having therefore obtained help of God I continue unto this day witnessing both to small and great saying none other things then those which the Prophets and Moses did say should come Joh. 5. 39. Search the Scriptures for in them you think to have eternall life compared with Psal 147. 19. 20. verses He shewed his Word unto Jacob his Statutes and judgements unto Israel hee hath not dealt so with any Nation and as for his Judgements they have not known them And with Iohn 4. 22. Ye worship yee know not what wee know what wee worship for Salvation is of the Jews 2 Pet. 2. 1. But there were false Prophets also among the people even as there shall be false teachers among you who privily shall bring in damnable heresies even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift destruction compared with 2 Pet. 3. 1 2. This second Epistle beloved I now write unto you in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance That yee may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy Prophets and of the Commandements of us the Apostles of the Lord and Saviour II. That there is a God who is the Creator Governour and Judge of the World which is to be received by faith and every other way of the knowledge of him is insufficient Heb. 11. 3. Through faith we understand that the Worlds were framed by the Word of God so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear Ver. 6. But without faith it is impossible to please God for he that cometh to God must beleeve that he is and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him Rom. 1. ver 19. Because that which may be known of God is manifested in them for God hath shewed it to them Vers 20. For the Invisible things of him from the Creation of the World are clearly seen being understood by the things that are made even his eternal power and Godhead so that they are without excuse Vers 21. Because that when they knew God they glorified him not as God neither were thankful but became vain in their imaginations and their foolish heart was darkened Vers 22. Professing themselves to be wise they became fools compared with 1 Cor. 1. 21. For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God it pleased God by the foolishnesse of preaching to save them that beleeve 2 Thes 1. 8. To render vengeance on them that knew not God and that obey not the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ III. That this God who is the Creator is eternally distinct from all the Creatures in his being and blessedness Rom. 1. v. 18. For the wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness Vers 25. Who changed the truth of God into a lye and worshipped and served the creature more then the Creator who is blessed for ever Amen 1 Cor. 8 v. 5. For though there be that are called Gods whether in heaven or in earth as there be gods many and lords many Vers 6. But to us there is but one God the Father of whom are all things and we in him and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all things and we by him IV. That this God is one in three Persons or subsistences 1 Joh. 5. 5. Who is this that overcometh the world but he that beleeveth that Jesus is the Son of God Vers 6. This is he that came by Water and Bloud even Jesus Christ not by water only but by water and bloud and it is the Spirit than beareth witness because the Spirit is truth Vers 7. For there are three that bear record in heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Ghost and these three are one Vers 8. And there are three that bear witness in earth the Spirit the Water and the Bloud and the 〈…〉 Ver. 9.

One God and Father of all who is above all and through all and in you all 1 Joh. 2. 22.
