and the like And that where there is any Exercise in the Afternoon that there it be specially spent in explaining some part of the Church Catechisme or some Scripture that may lead to the handling and explaining of it or that may conduce to the Exposition of the Liturgy and Prayers of the Church And Lastly That they labour with their People to draw them from Idle Debauched Prophane Courses and perswade Men to frequent Divine Services Sabbath-days and other Festivals appointed to be kept solemn and prevent them from haunting Taverns and Alehouses or to use unlawfull sports on the Lord's day CHAP. III. The Articles of Religion which every Minister is to subscribe unto both at his Ordination and at his Admission and Institution to a Living agreed upon by the Archbishops and Bishops of both Provinces and the whole Clergy in the Convocation holden at London 1562. put forth by Authority for avoiding diversities of Opinions and for the establishing of consent touching true Religion 1. Of Faith in the Holy Trinity Article 1 THere is but one Living and true God everlasting without Body Parts or Passions of Infinite Power Wisdom and Goodness the maker and preserver of all things both Visible and Invisible And in Unity of this God-head there be three Persons of one Substance Power and Eternity the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost 2. Of the Word of God which was made very Man Article 2 The Son which is the Word of the Father begotten from everlasting of the Father the very and Eternal God of one Substance with the Father took Man's Nature in the Womb of the Blessed Virgin of her Substance so that two whole and perfect Natures that is to say the God-head and Manhood were joyned together in one Person never to be devided whereof is one Christ very God and very Man who suffered was Crucified Dead and Buried to Reconcile his Father to us and to be a Sacrifice not only for original Guilt but also for all actual sins of men 3. Of the going down of Christ into Hell Article 3 As Christ died for us and was Buried So also it is to be believed that he went down into Hell 4. Of the Resurrection of Christ Article 4 Christ did truly rise again from Death and took again his Body with Flesh Bones and all things appertaining to the Perfection of Man's Nature wherewith he ascended into Heaven and there sitteth until he return to Judge all Men at the last day 5. Of the Holy Ghost Article 5 The Holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son is of Substance Majesty and Glory with the Father and the Son Very and Eternal God 6. Of the sufficiency of the Holy Scriptures for Salvation Article 6 Holy Scripture containeth all things necessary to Salvation so that whatsoever is not read therein nor may be proved thereby is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an Article of the Faith or be thought requisite or necessary to Salvation In the name of the Holy Scripture we do understand those Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament of whose Authority was never any doubt in the Church 7. Of the Old Testament Article 7 The Old Testament is not contrary to the New for both in the Old and New Testament everlasting Life is offered to Mankind by Christ who is the onely Mediator between God and man being both God and man wherefore they are not to be heard which fain that the old Fathers did look only for transitory promises although the Law given from God by Moses as touching Ceremonies and Rites does not bind Christian men nor the civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received in any Common-wealth yet notwithstanding no Christian man whatsoever is free from the obedience of the Commandments which are called moral 8. Of the three Creeds Article 8 The three Creeds Nice Creed Athanasius Creed and that which is commonly called the Apostles Creed ought throughly to be received and believed for they may be proved by most certain Warrants of Holy Scripture 9. Of Original or Birth-sin Article 9 Original sin standeth not in the following of Adam as the Pelagians do vainly talk but it is the fault and corruption of the Nature of every man that naturally is ingendred of the Off-spring of Adam whereby man is very far gone from Original Righteousness and is inclined to evil so that the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and therefore in every Person born into the World it deserveth Gods wrath and damnation And this Infection of Nature doth remain yea in them that are Regenerated whereby the Lust of the Flesh called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which some do expound the wisdom some sensuality some the affection some the desire of the Flesh is not subject to the Law of God And although there is no condemnation for them that Believe and are Baptized yet the Apostle doth confess that concupiscence and lust hath of it self the Nature of sin 10. Of free Will Article 10 The condition of Man after the fall of Adam is such that he cannot turn and prepare himself by his own Natural strength and good works to Faith and calling upon God wherefore we have no power to doe good Works pleasant and acceptable to God without the grace of God preventing us that we may have a good Will and Working with us when we have that good Will 11. Of the Justification of Man Article 11 We are accounted Righteous before God only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Faith and not for our own works or deservings Wherefore that we are justified by Faith only is a most wholesome Doctrine and very full of comfort as more largely is expressed in the Homily of Justification 12. Of good Works Article 12 Albeit That works which are the Fruits of Faith and follow after Justification cannot put away our sins and endure the severity of God's Judgment yet are they pleasing and acceptable to God in Christ and do spring out necessarily of a true and a lively Faith insomuch that by them a lively Faith may be as evidently known as a Tree discerned by the Fruit. 13. Of Works before Justification Article 13 Works done before the Grace of Christ and the Inspiration of his Spirit are not pleasing to God forasmuch as they spring not of Faith in Jesus Christ neither do they make Men meet to receive Grace or as the School Authors say deserve Grace of Congruity Yea rather for that they are not done as God hath willed and commanded them to be done we doubt not but they have the Nature of sin 14. Of Works of Supererogation Article 14 Voluntary Works besides over and above God's Commandments which they call Works of Supererogation cannot be taught without Arrogancy and Impiety for by them Men do declare that they do not only render unto God as much as they are bound to do but that they doe more for
