A04211	Anno Domini 1616. A confession and protestation of the faith of certaine Christians in England holding it necessary to observe, & keepe all Christes true substantiall ordinances for his church visible and politicall (that is, indued with power of outward spirituall government) under the gospel; though the same doe differ from the common order of the land. Published for the clearing of the said Christian from the slaunder of schisme, and noveltie, and also of separation, & undutifullness to the magistrate, which their rash adversaries doe falsely cast upon them. Also, an humble petition to the K. Majestie for toleration therein.	Jacob, Henry, 1563-1624.	1616 (1616)	STC 14330; ESTC S120216	22,778	71

our_o protestation_n we_o demand_v and_o do_v earnest_o crave_v of_o every_o in_o different_a christian_n to_o answer_n we_o what_o false_a thing_n have_v we_o here_o affirm_v what_o on_o our_o part_n be_v evil_a what_o be_v wicked_a in_o all_o this_o if_o nothing_o as_o wear_v firm_o persuade_v in_o our_o soul_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o then_o we_o pray_v and_o earnest_o entreat_v in_o the_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n in_o jesus_n christ_n every_o one_o to_o pardon_v our_o conscience_n in_o that_o thus_o do_v we_o stand_v to_o give_v actual_a obedience_n to_o our_o heavenly_a lord_n and_o saviour_n in_o his_o own_o commandment_n and_o ordinance_n which_o also_o we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v thereby_o as_o by_o the_o only_a true_a complete_a mean_n get_v 3.18.19_o get_v 1_o joh._n 3.18.19_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n to_o our_o soul_n which_o otherwise_o we_o for_o our_o part_n can_v find_v and_o otherwise_o whise_v we_o omit_v thus_o to_o do_v and_o keep_v not_o christ_n say_a commandment_n any_o with_o reproach_n may_v say_v unto_o we_o show_v we_o your_o faith_n by_o your_o work_n through_o work_n be_v faith_n make_v perfect_a but_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a and_o christ_n say_v if_o you_o love_v i_o then_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o not_o he_o that_o say_v lord_n lord_n but_o he_o that_o do_v the_o will_n of_o the_o father_n be_v justify_v whence_o very_o we_o see_v it_o plain_a and_o we_o know_v well_o that_o not_o the_o talker_n nor_o disputer_n of_o christ_n will_n but_o the_o doer_n shall_v be_v save_v yea_o though_o man_n afflict_v they_o for_o it_o and_o they_o that_o will_v have_v christ_n to_o reign_v over_o they_o not_o 19_o not_o l_o 19_o they_o that_o will_v not_o wherefore_o we_o humble_o pray_v every_o upright-harted_n servant_n of_o god_n to_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a for_o we_o know_v that_o which_o we_o know_v to_o give_v this_o fore-rehearsed_n due_a obedience_n unto_o christ_n but_o by_o walk_v in_o this_o way_n which_o we_o do_v which_o also_o can_v be_v but_o first_o by_o eschew_v the_o evil_a and_o then_o by_o do_v the_o good_a that_o be_v first_o by_o renounce_v to_o be_v ordinary_a and_o constant_a member_n of_o any_o diocesan_n or_o provincial_n church_n visible_a political_a because_o the_o form_n of_o these_o be_v whole_o without_o god_n word_n in_o the_o gospel_n yea_o contrary_a to_o it_o and_o then_o also_o of_o the_o parish_n as_o natural_a part_n depend_v on_o they_o and_o on_o their_o lord_n bishop_n see_v these_o likewise_o do_v both_o want_n god_n word_n and_o add_v to_o it_o &_o stand_v in_o bondage_n in_o those_o the_o above_o note_v substantial_a point_n and_o mean_v most_o important_a to_o salvation_n which_o before_o have_v be_v declare_v wherefore_o thus_o far_o forth_o only_o we_o leave_v our_o say_a parish_n also_o but_o no_o further_o that_o be_v to_o be_v in_o they_o no_o ordinary_a and_o constant_a member_n but_o member_n in_o they_o occasional_o we_o refuse_v not_o to_o be_v see_v in_o they_o we_o find_v in_o many_o place_n very_o many_o true_a visible_a christian_n with_o who_o we_o can_v as_o we_o believe_v deny_v public_a communion_n absolute_o and_o therefore_o on_o occasion_n we_o offer_v to_o communicate_v with_o our_o say_a public_a congregation_n or_o parish_n as_o before_o we_o have_v profess_v take_v god_n to_o witness_v that_o this_o we_o do_v not_o through_o any_o pride_n or_o singularity_n but_o mere_o out_o of_o necessity_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o obey_v christ_n in_o his_o word_n as_o we_o believe_v that_o herein_o we_o do_v and_o to_o submit_v unto_o his_o word_n and_o ordain_v mean_n &_o to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o to_o avoid_v abide_v in_o sin_n which_o otherwise_o possible_o we_o can_v see_v how_o we_o can_v avoid_v yea_o again_o and_o again_o we_o testify_v that_o be_v force_v mere_o by_o conscience_n thus_o we_o do_v not_o know_v otherwise_o in_o our_o soul_n how_o to_o answer_v it_o at_o the_o last_o day_n where_o we_o know_v no_o magistrate_n nor_o prince_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o answer_v for_o we_o if_o after_o the_o light_n manifest_v we_o be_v find_v stand_v in_o a_o wrong_a way_n contrary_a to_o christ_n sacred_a ordinance_n as_o we_o believe_v this_o diocesan_n political_a church_n be_v second_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o do_v join_v each_o person_n only_o himself_o humble_o and_o obedient_o to_o the_o evident_a way_n of_o the_o gospel_n the_o most_o certain_a true_a church_n estate_n set_v down_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n namely_o to_o a_o free_a congregation_n which_o truth_n before_o special_o in_o the_o four_o article_n we_o have_v sufficient_o show_v bind_v ourselves_o to_o proceed_v
