Certaine
Articles
,
very
ne-necessary
to
be
knowen
of
all
younge
Schollers
of
Christes
schole
.
Dooen
by
D.W.
Arch.
FIrste
,
that
the
ende
of
our
creation
is
to
glorifie
God
.
That
the
prayse
of
Gods
glorie
beginneth
at
the
knowledg
of
our selues
.
That
the
knowledge
of
our selues
issueth
out
of
the
sounde
vnderstandyng
of
the
lawe
,
contained
in
the
ten
commaundements
.
That
the
lawe
is
the
perfect
rule
of
iustice
,
teachyng
vs
what
wee
should
doe
,
and
forbidden
the
contrarie
.
The
lawe
was
deuided
into
twoo
tables
,
whereof
the
firste
contayneth
foure
commaundements
,
touchyng
our
duetie
towards
God
,
the
seconde
●ontayneth
our
duety
towards
our
neighbour
.
The
ende
of
the
lawe
is
,
to
let
vs
see
●●r
sinnes
:
that
by
the
sight
therof
we
might
bee
constrained
to
flie
vnto
Christe
.
Sinne
is
the
trasgression
of
the
lawe
.
Sinne
entered
into
the
worlde
by
Adams
transgression
,
and
together
with
sinne
came
death
,
and
the
curse
of
God
vpon
all
mankinde
.
The
reward
of
euery
sinne
,
in
Gods
iustice
,
is
eternall
death
and
damnation
.
There
is
no
meanes
whereby
we
can
either
escape
this
eternall
death
,
or
deserue
any
remission
of
sinnes
,
but
onely
Christe
crucified
by
whom
,
we
are
free
from
the
curse
of
the
lawe
,
and
by
whose
bloud
we
haue
redemtion
,
that
is
,
the
forgiuenesse
of
our
sinnes
.
None
shall
be
saued
,
but
those
that
take
holde
vpon
Christe
and
his
merites
,
by
a
true
and
liuely
faithe
.
This
true
and
liuely
faithe
is
a
full
assenting
of
our
hartes
vnto
the
promyses
of
GOD
in
Christe
,
ioy●●d
alwaies
with
endeuor
of
righteosnesse
.
The
summe
of
a
Christian
mans
faithe
is
contained
in
the
twelue
articles
of
our
beleefe
,
commonly
called
the
Apostles
Creede
.
The
preaching
of
the
worde
is
the
ordinary
meane
,
whereby
faithe
is
bothe
bred
and
nourished
in
vs
.
The
inward
workyng
of
the
holly
Ghoste
,
maketh
the
worde
preached
sauory
and
comfortable
vnto
vs
.
That
good
workes
although
they
neither
iustifie
vs
before
God
,
nor
deserue
any
remission
of
sinne
,
yet
haue
their
proper
place
,
and
standyng
and
serue
for
diuers
vses
.
First
to
glorifie
God
.
Secondly
,
to
publishe
our
faith
vnto
the
worlde
.
Thirdly
,
to
beare
witnesse
vntoo
our
conscience
of
our
election
.
Fourthly
,
to
winne
Infidels
,
an●
them
that
are
without
God
.
Praier
is
a
very
earnest
liftyng
vp
of
the
harte
vnto
God
in
all
kinde
of
necessities
,
whether
inwardly
of
soule
or
outwardly
of
bodie
.
The
Lordes
Prayer
is
a
perfecte
patterne
of
all
prayers
,
and
contayneth
within
his
reache
,
whatsoeuer
can
bee
demaunded
of
God
,
needefull
for
our
bodies
or
soules
.
The
Lordes
prayer
contayneth
sixe
peticions
:
three
concernyng
the
glorie
of
God
:
and
three
touching
our
profite
and
welfare
.
There
are
foure
principall
thinges
to
be
obserued
in
prayer
.
First
,
that
we
make
our
praiers
to
God
onely
and
not
to
Saints
.
Secondly
,
that
wee
feele
within
our selues
the
marueilous
greate
want
of
the
thinge
prayed
for
,
hauing
our
mindes
wholy
bent
therevppon
,
&
not
caried
awaie
with
bithoughts
.
Thirdly
,
that
our
praiers
be
grou●ded
vppon
faithe
in
Gods
promises
,
with
full
assuraunce
that
they
shal
bee
graunted
,
so
farre
as
the
Lorde
●o●th
knowe
th●m
to
be
meete
and
expedient
for
vs
.
Fourthly
,
that
wee
continue
in
prayer
,
although
we
speede
not
at
the
●●st
.
The
Sacramentes
are
meanes
,
whereby
the
weakenesse
of
our
faith
is
vnderpropped
.
A
Sacramente
is
an
outwarde
signe
of
inwarde
grace
,
instituted
of
God
.
There
be
two
Sacraments
,
baptisme
,
and
the
supper
of
the
Lorde
.
Baptisme
is
an
outwarde
signe
of
the
washyng
awaye
of
sinne
,
whiche
we
haue
by
Christes
bloud
.
In
Baptisme
,
we
haue
our
names
entred
into
the
Family
and
Hosholde
of
God
.
The
Lordes
supper
representeth
our
continuall
feedyng
in
the
same
Familie
and
Housholde
of
God
.
The
Lordes
Supper
consisteth
of
outward
signes
and
inward
thinges
signified
The
outwarde
signes
are
Bread
and
Wine
.
The
inward
thinges
signified
are
Christes
bodie
broken
,
and
his
bloud
shed
together
,
with
all
the
benefits
of
his
passion
.
Repentance
is
a
bitter
sorrowing
and
sobbing
for
sinne
,
coupled
always
with
a
set
purpose
of
amenment
.
It
consisteth
especially
in
two
thinges
:
the
killyng
of
the
olde
man
,
with
all
his
corrupt
lusts
and
affections
,
and
the
quicknyng
of
the
newe
man
,
which
after
the
image
of
God
is
created
in
righteousnesse
&
true
holinesse
.
The
olde
man
is
then
killed
,
and
the
newe
man
quickned
,
when
we
die
vnto
sinne
,
and
liue
vnto
righteousnesse
:
that
is
to
saie
,
when
we
are
fallen
intoo
deadly
hatred
and
malice
,
with
our
owne
sinfull
affections
and
●aine
conuersation
before
paste
,
strivyng
nowe
at
length
to
subdue
our
vnruly
lusts
,
and
to
bring
into
captiuitie
,
euery
thought
to
the
obedience
of
Christ
,
that
so
his
spirite
maie
both
rule
and
raigne
in
vs
,
and
bring
forth
her
goodly
blossomes
,
faith
,
loue
,
mercie
,
patience
,
humilytie
,
chastitie
,
desire
of
Gods
worde
,
hartie
good
will
to
his
true
ministers
,
diligence
in
praier
together
with
all
increase
of
righteousnesse
.
