REmember ( dearely beloued ) that ye were not baptised in the name of men , of Images , nor yet of Idols that be dombe , to be their seruauntes , to honoure them contrary to the commaundements of God , but in the name of Iesus Christ , because you shold worship and serue him , as he doeth commaunde , but for all that since the tyme we were indewed with knowledge , and the reason thereof , we haue bene blynded , and led astraye , farre from our duties , yet God hauing pitty vpon vs , and willing to saue vs , did so by his deuyne prouydence , although by hys ryghteous iudgement he mighte worthely condemne vs , wherefore let vs make no small accoumpt of this benefite of Pardone and Indulgence now offered vnto vs , by that most Holy & reuerend Father , most worthy of prayse and glory , for that we see , he asketh no mony of vs for it , as Antichrist doeth for his trash , he demaundeth of vs nothing but that only we shoulde haue a sure fayth , hope , and confydence , in the same , for that he himselfe doth graunt it , and geue it vs , in his sonne Iesus Christ , and therefore , let vs not for the vayne feare of men , leaue nor let slip , the inioying of such pardons , and graces , with the benefite therof , but accept them gladly , for as the Lord our god saieth , we cannot be saued without them .

Item , to all and euery one , and to whatsoeuer parson or parsons , Esay . 53. Ier. 32. that wil imbrace Christ and his righteousenes with a trwe fayth and hope therein ( if they be in the article of death ) whether it be by signes , Ezech. 18 tokens , or wordes , so it be from the bottome of their hartes , and doe faythfully beleeue that Christ Iesus made a full satisfaction to God the Father , Rom. 3. 1. Cor. 1. for the sinnes of all mankynde , his most high holinesse doeth grant vnto them , Plenissima indulgentia , a most free pardon , remission , and absolution , from all their sinnes , and are set at libertie fully for all paynes and punishmentes due for the same .

Item , to all those which by vsurping vsury , by vnsaciable gayne , in buying and selling , by fraudulent deuises , or any other vnlawful meanes , haue obteined and gotten into their handes , the goods and riches of this world , if those vsurping vsurors , insaciable gayners , fraudulent deuisors , and vnlawfull doers , ( being abhomynable sinners ) doe from the bottom of their hartes repent for the same , and professe in their lyues and doctryne amendment of life , and doe seeke to make some restitution , eyther by rendring back againe , or reconsiliation , to them which they haue so hindred , he doth graunt vnto them that they shall rest in his tabernacle , and dwel in his holy hill , for S.

Esay . 53. that she shoulde conceaue and beare a sonne , whose name shee shoulde call Iesus , for that he shold saue his people from their sinnes , and deliuer them from the condempnation the which they were in .

Item , forasmuche as our eternall highe Priest is the onely wisdome of god , Heb. 24. 1. Cor. 1. and doth knowe the infinit vallew of these pardons , and that we our selues cannot buye their , for any thinge wee haue or can doe , ( for that a thinge of such vallew infinit , 1. cor. 6.7 1. Pet. 1. Rom. 5. may not be bought ) the will of his Sacred Maiestie is , to communicate them most graciously and louingly vnto al sinners , 1. Iohn . 2. that féele their necessities , and call to him for mercy , without leuinge or takinge any mony for them , for if that euerie one of vs , were Lord of or ouer the whole world , or such like , if one would graunt his seigniory or Lordship , for the least benefite contained in the same , yet it could not be boughte , for the valewe of the world may be known , and the valewe thereof is vnspeakcable , but for that he dothe knowe the greate pouertie and miserie , in which wee liue , yet by the greate and vnualuable riches , Ephe. 2. Psal. 15. of his mercy , and for that he doth knowe our necessities , better then we our selues , and of his aboundant leue , dothe commande , for the health of our soules , Iere. 1. all his commissaries and officials , the Prophetes , Euangelistes , Ezech. 2. and mynisters of peace , Mat. 28. Mar. 16. Esay . 51. Esay . 52. & 55. that with great Instancie , and earnestly , they doe call to all people , and commaund , that they receyue this Iubily , of grace without geuing for it any penny of mony , or other thing that perisheth .

By the Prophet Esay he doth publiquely commaunded in this maner , all those that thirst let them come vnto the waters , and those which haue no siluer let them make hast and come , let them buy , and 〈◊〉 come and buy without siluer , or any thinge this , chaunge wyne for milke , you spend and wast your mony , but not in breade , you spende your trauaile and receue no hire , nor rewarde .

And because hee will that the immutabilitie of his truthe , and the loue that hee hath towardes vs should be notorious , he doth desire and commaunde that all the graces graunted in this Iubilie , esay . 54. Rom. 11. be for euer , irreuecable , with a priuilege sempiternall , to as many as receiue the same , and that it be not derogated by any other priuiledge , or decree , what so euer , neither in death nor lyfe , but that it haue alwayse , full force , effect , and vertue , to deliuer al them which receue the same , from all euils presently , and in the ende , to deliuer them , into the possession of the eternall and euerlasting riches of his heauenly kingdome .

But forasmuch as you , Nom. my officials , haue receued the grace of me by the gyfte of my holy Ghoste , and haue geuen credit to my promisses and worde , Iohn . 6. Rom. 3. 1. Cor. 1. and haue receued my sonne Iesus Christ for your reconcilyatoure by the fayth that you haue in hym and his blondshedding , which is the priuie signet and seale of my church , the which I doe put to these presentes , whereby I doe graunte vnto you , all the graces , pardons , dispensations , Indulgences , & priuiledges in this Iubily , contayned : In wittnesse whereof , Iames. 2. 1. Iohn . 3. Leuit. 19. Mat. 22. I haue commaunded these presentes to bee firmed with myne owne name , and sealed with my seale as aforsayde , and therefore for a signe that you haue receued the same , you shall beare in your hartes , Iohn . 13. the loue that you doe owe , and that is due vnto your neighbours , and shewe the same by your worckes . Iehouah .

Item , our most holy Father doth condempne all , Gala. 1. and as many as doe rebell and gainsaye any thing herein contained , or that doeth the contrary , and more ouer doth excommunicate them for euer from and out of his moste holy heauenly kingdome .

Here followeth the tenor of the excommunication and cursse , that the sprite of god , which into say , the holy Ghost , doth pronounce against them their familliers , fautors , somnors , and doers .

The holy ghost by the Prophet Dauid to all the enemies of the grace & glorie of Christ , that by any maner of meane , or way what sooner , doe defende , stoppe , and let , the publication of these pardons , or the priuiledges therein contayned , which are the onely fruites of the Gospell , he doth cursse , excōmmunicate , and perpetually enclude the out of his kingdome , in this maner , O Lorde , shed thy wrath vpon them , Psal. 68.109 . Psal. 69. and let the fury of thine Ire comprehende them , there habitations be brought lowe and let no man dwell in theire tabernuckles , let theire tables bee made a mare vnto themselues , and let those thinges which shoulde haue bene for theire welth bee vnto them an occasion of fallynge , let theire eyes be blinded that they see not , and euer bowe thou downe theire backes , let them fall from one wickednes to another , and let them not enter into thy righteousnes , let them be wipped out of the booke of the lyuinge , and let them not be written in the booke of the righteoues , constitute and set thou an euell Prince ouer them , Psal. 109. and let Sathan be still at theire righte hande , let them be as duste before the winde , Psal. 35. and the Aungell of the Lorde scattering them , let theire wayes be darcke and slippery , Psal. 109. and let the Aungell of the lord persecute them , when they go to receue Iudgement , let them come forth condempned , and let theire praiers bee tourned into sinne , Psal 109. let their dayes bee shortened , and let another take theire charge , let the extorcioner consume all that they haue , and let the stranger make spoyle of their trauailes , let them cloth themselues with curssynges , and let it come into their bowels like water , and into theire bones like oyle , let curssing be vnto them as a cloake , and like a girdle wherwith they girde theire loynes , and let them perishe for euer in thy presence , like as did Coran , Bathan and Abiram , Nume. 16 Psal. 104 enemies of thy truth and righteousenes , & also to thy saintes and holy ministers , Amen .

The fourme of the absolution graunted to al those that receue this holy Iubily , and rather fear god then men .

Mat. 16. Iohn . 10.20 . 1. Pet. 1 Acts. 20 Rom. 1. 2. cor. 5.11 Psal. 51. Misereatur tui omnipotens Deus . &c.

I The minister of God the Father , by his auctority in that behalfe to me committed , and to all graunted , also by Iesus Christ , the onely good and trwe pastor , or sheepehearde of the shape , that he did redeeme with his moste pretious bloud on his behalf , & by the vertue , efficacy , & strength of the gospel of eternal & most gracious recōsiliation ▪ Col. 11. the which with your harts , you haue beleeued , I absolue you from all your sinnes , vemall and others , which you haue committed agaynst his most greate holynesses deuyne maiestie , so that you be penitente for the same , & can finde in your harts to amend your liues : I doe restore you to the Church constituted for the liuing members of Iesus Christ , the head and espouse therof , Rom. 11. and to the participation of the two true sacraments , which are the sacrament of baptisme , and the sacrament of the true supper of our lord , and doe assure you of all the aforesayde graces , pardons , and priuileges , and do pronounce that it is his fatherly wyll and pleasure , that you do enioy them with an assuraunce of life euerlasting . In the name of the father , of the son , & of the holy ghost . Amen , go in peace & sin no more . Iohn . ● .

I am the good shapheard , Iohn . 10. that doth geue my lyfe for my sheepe , I doo know my sheepe , and they heare my voyce and followe me , and I doo geue them lyfe eternal , sayth Iesus Christ our sauiour .

¶ The .x. Commaundements of Almightie God , published by Moyses , with a short explanation of the effect thereof .

The first Table .

HArken , exod. 20. Deut. 5. O Israell , I am the lord thy God , which haue brought thée out of the lande of Egipt and out of the house of bondage .

The first Commaundement . Thou shalt haue none other gods but mee .

THere is no more gods but one , in whome it is very hard for vs to put our trust onely in , not for that he is vntrusty , but bicause we are so corruptible in our fleshe , that of our selues we cannot but geue credit vnto vanity , for whosoeuer putrech his trust many thing maketh , a strange god of the same that he putteth his truste in , so that a man 〈◊〉 many strange gods as are the thinges wherein he trusteth , and herevppon it did rise at the 〈◊〉 , the worshipping of dombe Idolls & Images , so condempned of God , by the Prophets , but to accomplish and fulfill this com●●● 〈◊〉 , it is necessary to haue a constant faith , and confidence in God , that is , a perfect loue , feare , reuerence , and hope , and to let all our trust depend onely vppon him , the which is , to worship him in spirit and truth , & this commaundement is a fountaine from whence doeth spring the whole Lawe , and the obseruance thereof .

The second Commaundement . ¶ Thou shalt not make to thy selfe any grauen Image , Deut. 4. Psal. 80. leuit . 26. esay . 41. actes . 17. Rom. 1. Iosue 24. nor the likenes of any thing that is in heauen aboue or in the earth beneath , or in the water vnder the earth , thou shalt not bowe downe to them nor worship them , for I the Lord thy God am a gellous god , and visit the sinne of the fathers vppon their children , vnto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me , and shew mercy vnto thousandes of them that loue me and keepe my commaundements .

BEcause God is a spirite , he doth forbid vs heare to represent him in the likenes of any corporal or bodily thing , as though he were in it , or like it , wherfore those that will worshippe visible thinges , and maintaine the same , contrary to the worde of God , are threatned here as Idolatoures and breakers of the lawe , because the honoure which they doe owe vnto God , they doe vse it vnto his creatures .

The third commaundement . Leuit. 19. Mat 5. ¶ Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vayne , for the Lord wil not hold him guiltles , that taketh his name in vayne .

HE doth commaunde that with our tongue we should testefy that wee haue a God almighty , whome wee ought to feare , to reuerence , and to loue , and not to sweare by his name in any light thing , nor by his creatures to couer a lie , but if we doe sweare , we must doe it to his glory , our saluation , and the helpe of our neighebors in good thinges , and then must we sweare onelie by the name of the liuinge god .

The fourth commaundement Deut. 5. ezech 20 genes. 1.2 ¶ Remember thou kepe holy the Saboth day , Sixe dayes shalte thou labor and doe all that thou hast to doe , but the seuenth day is the Saboth of the Lorde thy God , esay . 58. Heb. 4. in it thou shalte doe no maner of worcke , thou nor thy sonn , nor thy daughter , nor thy manseruant , nor thy mayd seruaunte , nor thy cattel , nor thy stranger that is within thy gates , for in Sixe dayes the Lorde made heauen and yearth the Sea and al that is therin , and rested the seuenth day , wherefore the Lorde blessed the Seuenth day and hallowed it .

The ceremony of keping of the saboth day , did finishe and ende with the cerymonies and shaddowe of the lawe , by the death of Iesus Christ , but the substaunce therof doth remain to this day , and perpetually , that is , to kepe the saboth spiritually , to cease from labour & worldly worke , that god may worke in vs , and that in al thinges that wee do , we geue him the glory , god graunt we may seeke the same for euer . Amen . Amen .

The Commaundements of the second table and so the first and fyfte in order . Honour thy Father and thy Mother that thy dayes may belong in the lande which the Lorde thy God geueth thee . Deut. 5. Mat. 15. ephes. 6.

It is commaunded vnto vs by this commaundement , that wee reuerence and honoure our carnall fathers , euery one in his place , that is to say , our superiors in eache estate and degree , from the lowest to the highest , and so backe againe , to helpe them in necessitie according to our habilities , to honour , reuerence , and obey them , for that they are called to theyr places by god , & to draw vs vnto it , to doe it according to hys word , he doth incite and incourage vs , by a chearfull and comfortable promise , and that is , our dayes shal be enlarged , and we haue long lyfe , the which is fulfilled , in them that please god .

The Sixt commaundement exod. 20. Mat. 5. Thou shalte doe no murther .

We are not by this precept or commaundement onely forbidden to kill or doe any murther , and the interior causes of the same , but also he doth commaund a vertue cleane to the contrary ▪ and that is , to loue our neighbors as our selues , and so to doe them good , as we woulde be done vnto , yea euen to the sauegarde of their lyues , if neede bee , by all the meanes that we possibly can deuise .

The Seuenth commaundement Thou shalt not commit adultry . 1. Cor. 3.1 2. Cor. 6.

Herein is forbidden all kinde of carnall concupicence , betwéene men and women , oneles it be by lawfull matrymony , and there withall is demaunded , a chaste harte wyth cleane and pure thoughtes .

The eighte commaundement . Thou shalt not steale . exod. 20.

THis precept or commaundemente , doth commaund vs not to steal , and therein establisheth the possession of any thing that is righteousely gotten , and doth also put vs in minde of the brotherly loue which we ought to haue towardes our neighboures , and so one to an other with all humility .

The ninth commaundement . ¶ Thou shalte beare no false witnes against thy neighbour . Pro. 5.6.19.21.28 .

IN this commaundement we are forbidden to beare any false witnesse agaynst our neighboures in iudgement , and doth forbid vs to lye , backbits , and sclaunder , but doth commaund vs to speake alwayes a truth before men , as if we did speake before our heauenly Father , the searcher of the secretes of all hartes .

The tenth commaundement . Deut. 5. Rom. 7. Mat. 5. Thou shalt not couet thy neighbors house , nor his wife , nor his maide , nor his manseruant nor his Oxe , not his Asse , nor any thing that is thy neighbours .

IN this last commaundement , he doth bid vs to be void from euell and hatefull couetousnes , and that in place therof be placed godly vertues , according to the good will and doctrine of god , to the profet of our neighbours , proceeding of loue to them as to our selues

Rom. 10. The ende and fulfilling of the lawe is Iesus Christ , to Iustify al beleeuers . I will shew thee O man ( saith the holy ghost ) that which is good , Miche . 6 that which the Lord doth require of thee , and that is , ( trwely ) that thou doe Iustice , loue mercy , and alwayes call vppon god .

Finis .

Glory be to God , qd I Danyell .
