The
Roman
religion
makes
the
meritte
of
the
workes
of
men
,
to
concurre
with
the
grace
of
God
,
therefore
it
ouerthrowes
the
grace
of
God
.
they
acknowledge
the
infinite
justice
and
mercy
of
God
,
but
by
consequence
both
are
denyed
:
for
how
can
that
be
infinite
justice
,
which
may
any
way
be
appeased
by
humane
satisfaction
?
And
howe
shall
Gods
mercy
be
infinite
,
when
we
by
our
owne
satisfactions
must
adde
a
supply
to
the
satisfaction
of

if
it
be
possible

let
this
chalice

cuppe
passe

that
this
prayer

was
vnaduisedly
made
:
that
he
ouercome
with
griefe
,
had
forgotten
the
heauenly
decree
,
not
remembring
for
the
time
,
that
he
was
sent
to
be
the
redeemer

that
he
withstood
as
much
as
in

lay
,
and
refused
to
execute
the
office
of
a
mediator
.
Father
saue
me
from
this
houre
:
that
Christ
was
so
strooken
with
feare
,
and
so
pinched
on
euery
side
with
perplexed
pensiuenesse
,
that
he
was
forced
through
these
boisterous
waues
of
temptation

to
wauer
and
fleete
too
and
fro
in
his
prayers
and
petitions

My
GOD
,
my
GOD
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
!
when
this
kinde
of
temptation
was
proposed
to
Christ
(
as
though
God
being
auerted
from
him
,
he
had
beene
appointed
to
vtter
destruction
)
he
was
seised
with
horror
.
Christ
feared
to
haue
beene
swallowed
vp
of
death
as
a
sinner
:
And
there
can
be
no
more
dreadfull
bottomelesse
gulfe
,
then
for
a
man
to
feele
himselfe
forsaken
and
estranged
from
God
,
&
not
to
be
heard
,
when
he
calleth
vpon
him
,
euen
as
if
God
had
conspired
his
destruction
:
euen
thither
we
see
that
Christ
was
throwne
downe
,
so
that
by
enforcement
of
distresse
he
was
compelled
to
crie
out
:
my
GOD
,
my
GOD
,
why
hast
thou
forsaken
me
.
that
Christ
did
hand
in
hand
wrestle
with
the
armies
of
hel
,
&
the
horror
of
eternal
death
:
that
in
his
soule
he
suffered
the
torments
of
the
damned
,
and
al
those
punishments
that
are
due
to
wicked
men
in
hell
:
despaired
and
fared
that
from
Christ
(
strooken
with
the
horror
of
Gods
curse
)
escaped
the
word
of
desperation
.
that
Christ
was
(
with
the
huge
heauie
burden
of
Gods
wrath
,
ouerwhelmed
and
adjudged
to
the
flames
of
hell
:
yea
,
buried
and
drowned
in
the
bottome
of
the
infernall
gulfe
:
What
shall
we
therefore
say
?
Christ
to
haue
bin
togither
both
the
most
just
,
and
greatest
sinner
:
both
the
most
notorious
lier
,
and
truest
teacher
:
at
the
same
instant
,
both
the
most
highly
glorying
,
&
deepely
despairing
:
both
happy
in
the
highest
degree
,
&
most
miserably
damned
.
Vnlesse
we
say
this
,
I
see
not
howe
Christ
was
forsaken
of
God
.
that
all
the
Prophets
did
in

spirit
foresee
him
to
be

vrged

for

could
doe
nothing

but
only
the
death
of

,
which
alone
was
accepted
of
God
for
our
sinnes

that
Christes
passion

not

truly
confesse
that
if
a

will
set
Christ
singly
and
by
himselfe
,
against
the
judgements
of
God
,
there
wil
be
no
roome
for
merit

Christ
could
not
deserue
any
thing
,
but
by
the
good
pleasure
of
God
.
the
deseruinges
of
Christ
depend
vpon
the
only
grace
of
God
,
Christes
flesh
was
not
crucified
for
the
vngodly
,
neither
was
the
bloud
of
Christ
shed
to
clense
their
sinnes
.
Bucer
:
Christ
by
his
death
did
only
redeeme
the

Christes
death
is
a
satisfaction
only
for
the
sinnes
of
the
elect
Christ
is
a
propitiation
for
our
sinnes

not
for
ours

but
also
for

in

there
remaineth

on
this
manner
.
God
the
Father
giueth
Christ
in
this
Sacrament
as
really
and
truly
,
as
any
thing
can
be
giuen
to
man
,
and
that
not
peece-meale
,
but
whole
Christ
;
yet
,
not
the
substance
of
the
God-head
,
but
the
efficacy
,
merits
,
and
operation
are
conueyed
thence
to
the
man-hood
:
but
the
whole
man-hood
,
both
in
respect
of
substance
,
as
of
merits
and
benefits
,
is
giuen
wholy
and
jointly
together
.
And
when
God
so
giueth
Christ
,
he
giueth
withall
at
the
same
time
the
spirit
of
Christ
:
which
createth
in
the
hart
of
the
receiuer
the
instrument
of
true
faith
,
by
which
the
hart
doth
really
receiue
Christ
,
by
resting
vpon
the
promise
which
God
hath
made
,
that
he
will
giue
Christ
and
his
righteousnesse
vnto
euery
true
beleeuer
.
Nowe
then
,
when
God
giueth
Christ
and
his
benefits
,
and
man
by
faith
receiueth
the
same
;
there
riseth
an
vnion
betweene
them
,
not
forged
but
reall
,
and
so
neare
,
that
none
can
be
nearer
:
and
being
a
reall
vnion
,
there
is
a
reall
communion
,
and
consequently
,
a
reall
presence
of
Christ
to
the
hart
of
him
that
receiueth
the
Sacrament
in
faith
.
And
thus
farre
doe
we
consent
with
the
that
faith
is
created
in
our
hart
,
at
the
same
instant
that
we
receiue
the
Sacrament
,
sacramentall
relation
,
of
his
reall
vnion
and
communion
made
by

Christes
benefits
are
bestowed
vpon
some
by
Gods
imputation

;
vpon
others
they
are

by
a

of

,
As
one
candle
is
lighted
by
another
,
and
so
the
light
of
one
is
conueied
vnto
twenty
candles
:
euen
so
the
inherent
righteousnes
of
euery
beleeuer
,
is
deriued
from
the
store-house
of
righteousnesse
,
which
is
the
man-hood
of
Christ
:
inherent
righteousnesse
it
doth
rase
the
very
foundation
of
religion
:
inherent
righteousnesse
we
differ
not
touching
the
presence
it selfe
,
but
only
in
the
manner
of
presence
.
For
though
we
hold
a
reall
presence
of
Christes
body
and
bloud
in
the
Sacrament
:
yet
,
we
doe
not
take
it
to
be
locall
,
bodily
,
or
substantiall
;
but
spirituall
and
mysticall
:
first
to
the
signes
,
by
sacramentall
relation
;
then
to
the
communicants
,
by
faith
alone
.
the
Church
of
maintaineth
a
locall
,
bodily
,
and
substantiall
presence
of
Christes
body
and
bloud
,
by
a
change
and
conuersion
of
the
bread
and
wine
into
the
said
body
and
bloud
;
which
they
beleeue
to
be
wrought
by
the
vertue
of
Christes
wordes
,
pronounced
ouer
the
bread
and
wine
by
a
lawfull
intending
to
doe
that
,
which
Christ
at
his
last
supper
instituted
and
commanded
him
to
doe
.
This
corporall
presence
ouerturneth
sundry
articles
of
faith
.
For
we
beleeue
that
the
body
of
Christ
was
made
of
the
pure
substance
of
the
Virgin
and
that
but
once
when
it
was
conceiued
by
the
holy
Ghost
.
But
this
cannot
stand
,
if
the
body
of
Christ

made
of
bread

vnlesse
we
beleeue
contraries
:
that

doth

Thou
therefore
humbling
thy selfe

imitate
this
and
say
I
am
not
worthy

thou
shouldest
enter

,
The
bread
that
our
Lord
deliuered
vnto
his
Disciples
,
being
not
in
outward
shewe
,
but
in
substance
changed
;
was
by
the
omnipotent
power

,
made
flesh

S.
Cyril
When
Christ
himselfe
doth
affirme
of
bread
:
who
afterward
dareth
to
doubt
of
it
?
and
he
confirming
and
saying
,
Who
can
doubt
and
say
,
this
is
not
his
bloud
?
He
before
changed
water
into
wine
,
which
commeth
neare
to
bloud
;
and
shall
he
be
thought
vnworthy
to
be
beleeued
,
that
he
hath
changed
wine
into
his
bloud
?
wherefore
,
let
vs
receiue
with
all
assurance
,
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
:
for
vnder
the
forme
of

,
his

is
giuen
vs
;

his
bloud
,
vnder
the
forme
of

S.
Iohn
Chrisostome
Let
vs
alwaies
beleeue
God
,
and
not
resist
him
,
though
that
which
he
saith
,
seeme
absurd
to
our
imagination
:
which
we
must
doe
in
all
thinges
,
but
specially
in
holy
misteries
;
not
beholding
those
thinges
only
,
which
are
set
in
our
sight
;
but
hauing
an
eye
vnto
his
wordes
.
For
his
word
cannot
deceiue
vs
;
but
our
sences
may
most
easily
be
deceiued
:
wherefore
,
considering
that
he
saith
,
let
vs
not
doubt
of
it
at
all
,
but
beleeue
it
.
what
shep-heard
doth
feede
his
flocke
with
his
owne
flesh
?
Nay
,
many
mothers
giue
out
their
children
to
be
nursed
of
others
:
but
Christ
with
his
owne
flesh
and
bloud
,
doth
feede
vs
.
It
is
his
flesh
and
bloud
,
that
sitteth
aboue
the
heauens
;
that
is
humbly
adored
of
the
Angels
.
he
that
was
adored
of
the
wise-men
in
the
manger
,
is
nowe
present
vpon
the
Altar
.
not
by
faith
only
,
or
by
charity
:
but
in
deede
and
really
,
his
flesh
is
joyned
with
ours
,
by
receiuing
this
holy
Sacrament
.
Thou
maist
(
perhaps
)
say
,
that
my
bread
is
but
common
bread
;
this
bread
is
bread
in
deede
,
before
the
wordes
of
the
Sacrament
:
but
when
consecration
commeth
;
of
bread
,
it
is
made
the
body
of
Christ
.
That
by
the
word
of
God
,
heauen
and
earth
were
made
,
and
all
that
in
them
is
:
and
therefore
,
if
Gods
word
were
able
of
nothing
to
make
all
thinges
,
howe
much
more
easily
,
can
it
take
a
thing
that
already
is
,
and
turne
it
into
an
other
?
Let
vs
beare
and
beleeue
,
that
the
bread
which
our
Lord
brake
,
and
gaue
to
his
Disciples
,
is
the
body
of
our
Lord
and
Sauiour
.
And
God
forbidde
that
I
should
speake
sinistrously
of
who
succeeding
the
Apostles
in
degree
;
doe
with
their
holy
mouth
,
consecrate
and
make
Christes
body
.
The
mediatour
of
God
and
men
,
the
man
Christ
,
giuing
vs
his
flesh
to
eate
,
and
his
bloud
to
drinke
;
we
doe
receiue
it
with
faithfull
hart
and
mouth
,
although
it
seeme
more
horrible
to
eate
mans
flesh
,
then
to
kill
it
;
and
to
drinke
mans
bloud
,
then
to
shedde
it
.
The
very
bloud
that
through
their
malice
the
shedde
,
they
(
conuerted
by
Gods
grace
)
doe
drinke
.
Christ
tooke
earth
of
earth
and
of
the
flesh
of
the
Virgin
he
tooke
flesh
;
in
which
flesh
he
walked
here
vpon
the
earth
,
and
the
same
flesh
he
gaue
vs
to
eate
.
S.
Cyril
We
doe
celebrate
the
holy

liuely
,
and
vnbloudy
beleeuing
it
to
be
the
body
and
bloud
,
not
of
a
common
man
like
vnto
one
of
vs
:
but
rather
we
receiue
it
,
as
the
proper
body
and
bloud
of
the
word
of
God
,
that
quickneth
all
thinges
,
We
doe
so
come
vnto
the
mysticall
benediction
,
and
are
sanctified
;
being
made
partakers
of
the
holy
and
pretious
bloud
of
Christ
our
redeemer
:
not
receiuing
it
as
common
flesh
(
which
God
defend
)
nor
as
the
flesh
of
a
holy
man
,
But
being
made
the
proper
flesh
of
the
word
of
God
it selfe
.
Howe
can
this
man
giue
vs
his
flesh
to
eate
?
Let
vs
giue
firme
faith
to
the
misteries
,
and
neuer
once
say
or
thinke
,
howe
can
it
be
?
For
it
is
a
We
denie
not
,
but
by
a
right
faith
and
sincere
charity
,
we
are
spiritually
joyned
with

:
but

Bread
and
wine
by
the
inuocation
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
are
supernaturally
changed
into
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
:
bread
is
not
the
figure
of
the
body
,
nor
wine
the
figure
of
the
bloud
(
which
God
forbidde
)
but
it
is
the
very
body
of
our
Lord
,
joyned
with

Christ

not

TOuching
this
point
,
first
I
will
set
downe
,
what
must
be
vnderstood
by
the
name
of
Sacrifice
.
A
Sacrifice
is
taken
properly
,
or
vnproperly
.
Properly
,
it
is
a
sacred
or
solemne
action
,
in
which
man
offereth
and
consecrateth
some
outward
bodily
thing
vnto
God
,
to
please
and
honour
him
thereby
:
improperly
and
by
the
way
of
resemblance
,
all
the
duties
of
the
morall
lawe
are
called
sacrifices
.

by
consuming
some
visible
thing
,
in
a
solemne
manner
and
by
a
chosen
Minister
,
is
most
properly
a
Sacrifice
.
That
the
supper
of
the
Lord
is
a
Sacrifice
,
and
may
truly
be
so
called
as
it
is
,
and
hath
beene
in
former
ages
.
That
the
very
body
of
Christ
is
offered
in
the
Lordes
supper
.
That
the
supper
of
the
Lord
is
a
Sacrifice
,
improperly
:
yet
it
is
called
a
Sacrifice
in
three
respects
.
First
,
because
it
is
a
memoriall
of
the
reall
Sacrifice
of
Christ
on
the
Crosse
.
That
it
withall
contayneth
a
thankes-giuing
to
God
for
the
same
:
which
thankes-giuing
is
the
Sacrifice
and
calues
of
our
lips
.
it
may
be
called
a
Sacrifice
,
because
euery
communicant
doth
there
present
himselfe
an
acceptable
Sacrifice
to
God
,
to
worke
in
the
practise
of
all
dutiefull
obedience
.
The
Lordes
supper
is
called
a
Sacrifice
,
in
respect
of
almesse
giuen
to
the
poore
,
which
was
joyned
with
it
:
and
in
this
regard
also
the
ancient
Fathers
haue
called
the
Sacrament
,
an
vnbloudy
Sacrifice
;
and
the
table
,
an
Altar
;
and
the
Ministers
,
and
the
whole
action
,
an
Oblation
;
not
to
God
,
but
to
the
congregation
;
and
not
by
the
alone
,
but
by
the
people
.

or
any

where
they

our
Lord
after
their

,
these
virgins
now
cannot
,
either
carry
an
offering
to
the
Altar
of
God
;
or
finde
a

whome

That

that
the
Sacrifice
in
the
Lordes
supper
,
is
all
one

substance
,
with
the
Sacrifice

on
the
Crosse
:
if
that
be
so
,
then
the
Sacrifice
in
the
must
either
be
a
continuance
of

Sacrifice

or
else
an
alternation

repetition

Let
them

of

For
to
repeate

argueth
that
at

it

is
the
reason
of

holy
Ghost

to
proue

liuely
representation
the
application
of
the
vertue
A
reall
and
outward
Sacrifice
in
a
Sacrament
,
is
against
the
nature
of
a
Sacrament
,
and
specially
the
supper
of
the
Lord
:
for
one
of
the
endes
thereof
,
is
to
keepe
in
memory
the
Sacrifice
of
Christ
.
Nowe
euery
remembrance
must
be
of
a
thing
absent
,
past
,
and
done
:
and
if
Christ
be
daylie
really
sacrificed
,
the
Sacrament
is
not
a
fit
memoriall
of
his
Sacrifice
.
The
principall
end
of
a
Sacrament
is
,
that
God
may
giue
,
and
we
receiue
Christ
and
his
benefits
.
Nowe
in
a
reall
sacrifice
,
God
doth
not
giue
Christ
to
vs
,
but
the
offereth
vp
Christ
to
God
:
therefore
,
one
thing
cannot
be
both
a
Sacrament
and
a
Sacrifice
.
Paschall

The

Ghost
maketh
a
difference

betweene
Christ

the
high
of
the

all
the
in

that
they

one

hauing
an
eternall
which
cannot
passe

him

any

Nowe
if
this
difference

good

then
Christ

OVr
consent
may
be
set
downe
in
three
conclusions
.
First
,
we
doe
not
condemne
fasting
,
but
maintayne
three
sortes
of
it
,
to
wit
:
a
morall
,
a
ciuill
,
and
a
religious
fast
.
A
morall
fast
is
a
practise
of
sobriety
or
temperance
.
When
as
in
the
vse
of
meates
and
drinkes
,
the
appetite
is
restrayned
,
that
it
doe
not
exceede
moderation
:
and
this
must
be
vsed
of
all
Christians
,
in
the
whole
course
of
their
liues
.
A
ciuill
fast
is
,
when
vpon
some
politike
consideration
men
abstayne
from
certaine
meates
:
as
in
our
common
weale
,
the
lawe
enjoyneth
vs
to
abstayne
from
flesh
at
certaine
seasons
of
the
yeare
,
for
these
speciall
endes
;
to
preserue

to

third
kinde
of

religious
:
because
the
duties
of
religion
(
as
the
exercise
of
prayer
and
humiliation
)
be
practised
during
the
time
of
this
fast
.
fasting
is
only
tearmed
religious
,
because
during
the
time
of
it
,
by
prayers
and
preaching
,
and
such
like
,
they
worshippe
God
:
We
joyne
with
them
in
allowance
of
the
principall
and
right
endes
of
a
religious
fast
,
and
they
are
three
.
The
first
,
that
thereby
the
minde
may
become
attentiue
in
meditation
of
the
duties
of
Godlines
,
to
be
by
vs
performed
.
The
second
,
that
the
rebellion
of
the
flesh
may
be
subdued
:
for
the
flesh
pampered
,
becommeth
an
instrument
of
licentiousnesse
.
The
third
,
and
the
chiefest
end
of
a
religious
fast
,
is
;
to
professe
our
guiltinesse
,
and
to
testifie
our
humiliation
before
God
for
our
sinnes
:
and
for
this
end
in
the
fastes
of
the
the
very
beastes
were
made
to
abstayne
.
We
yeeld
vnto
them
,
that
fasting
is
a
helpe
and
furtherance
vnto
the
worshippe
of
God
:
yea
,
and
a
good
worke
also
(
if
it
be
vsed
in
good
manner
)
allowed
of
God
,
and
to
be
highly
esteemed
of
all
the
seruants
of
God
.
fasting
in
it selfe
,
is
a
thing
indifferent
signifieth
an
abstinence
from
meate
,
according
vnto
some
set
rule
of
the
Church
,
the
better
to
please
and
serue
God
:
and
so
it
is
of
it selfe
,
an
act
of
the
true
worshippe
of
God
.
Our
dissent
from
the
Church
of
in
the
doctrine
of
fasting
,
standeth
in
three
points
:
First
,
about
the
set
time
of
fasting
:
Secondly
,
about
the
manner
of
abstinence
,
and
what
meate
is
to
be
eaten
on
fasting
dayes
:
Thirdly
,
about
the
vertue
and
value
of
fasting
.
appoint
and
pr●scribe
set
times
of
fasting
as
necessary
to
be
kept
:
We
hold
that
no
set
ordinary
time
is
to
be
appointed
,
but
that
the
Gouernours
of
the
Church
,
may
sometimes
vpon
certaine
occasions
,
enjoyne
a
religious
fast
.
Our
reasons
be
these
.
First
,
when
the
disciples
of
asked
Christ
he
answered
where
he
giueth
them
to
vnderstand
,
that
they
must
fast
as
occasions
of
mourning
are
offered
.
Whence
also
I
gather
,
that
a
set
time
of
fasting
is
no
more
to
be
enjoyned
,
then
a
set
time
of
mourning
.
a
set
time
of
fasting
a
set
time
of
mourning
That
when
the
Bridegrome
is
taken
from

then
is
the
time

therefore
because

and
in

,
doe
see
;
that
fasting
is
commanded
:
but
on
what
dayes
we
ought
not
to

and
on
what
we

doe
not

That
all
true
beleeuers
haue
a
state
of
true
perfection
in
this
life
.
Which
perfection
consisteth
in
two
partes
:
The
former
is
,
the
imputation
of
Christes
perfect
obedience
vnto
vs
;
The
latter
is
,
a
certayne
sincerity
and
vprightnesse
,
standing
in
two
thinges
:
The
first
,
is
to
acknowledge
our
owne
imperfection
;
The
second
,
to
haue
a
constant
purpose
,
endeauour
,
and
care
to
keepe
not
some
fewe
,
but
all
and
euery
Commandement
of
the
lawe
of
God
.
And
this
endeauour
is
a
fruit
of
perfection
,
in
that
it
proceedeth
from
the
regenerate
:
For
,
as
all
men
through
fall
,
haue
in
them
by
nature
the
seedes
of
all
sinne
,
the
sinne
against
the
holy
Ghost
not
excepted
:
so
by
grace
of
regeneration
through
Christ
,
all
the
faithfull
haue
in
them
likewise
,
the
seedes
of
all
vertues
necessary
to
saluation
:
and
therevpon
,
they
both
can
and
doe
endeauour
to
yeeld
perfect
obedience
vnto
God
,
according
vnto
the
whole
lawe
;
and
so
they
may
be
tearmed
perfect
,
as
a
child
is
called
a
perfect
man
:
who
though
he
want
the
perfection
of
age
,
stature
,
and
reason
;
yet
,
he
hath
euery
part
and
faculty
both
of
body
and
soule
,
that
is
required
to
a
perfect
man
.

that

the

He
that
can
take
it
,
let
him
take
it
:
to
sell
all
we
haue
,
and
to
giue
it
to
the
poore
and
to
followe
him
.
alloweth
only
vnto
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
workes
of
supererogation
,
because
he
alone
fulfilled
the
lawe
:
wherefore
his
death
was
more
then
the
lawe
could
require
at
his
handes
being
innocent
.
That
no
worke
commanded
:
can
be
a
worke
of
supererogation
that
no
man
can
fulfill
the
lawe
of
God
in
this
life
,
much
lesse
doe
workes
of
supererogation
.
That
it
is
impossible
to
keepe
Gods
Commandements
.
In
the
morall
lawe
two
thinges
are
commanded
:
first
,
the
loue
of
God
and
man
;
secondly
,
the
manner
of
this
loue
.
Nowe
the
manner
of
louing
of
God
,
is
to
loue
him
with
all
our
hart
and
strength
:
said
:
The
measure
of
louing
God
,
is
to
loue
him
without
measure
;
and
that
is
,
to
loue
him
with
the
greatest
perfection
of
loue
,
that
can
befall
a
creature
.
Hence
it
followeth
,
that
in
louing
God
,
no
man
can
posssibly
doe
more
then
the
lawe
requireth
:
and
therefore
,
the
performance
of
all
vowes
and
of
all
other
duties
,
come
to
short
of
the
intention
and
scope
of
the
lawe
.
Answere
.
To
loue
God
with
all
our
hart
,
and
strength
,
&c.
S.
Bernard
The
compasse
of
the
lawe
is
large
and
comprehendeth
commandements
,
not
only
negatiue
but
also
affirmatiue
,
and
in
the
negatiue
be
not
only
forbidden
the
capitall
sinnes
,
as
murther
,
adultery
,
theft
:
but
all
sinnes
of
the
same
kinde
,
with
all
their
occasions
,
And
in
the
affirmatiue
are
commanded
not
only
the
contrary
vertues
,
but
all
helpes
and
meanes
,
whereby
the
said
vertues
may
be
preserued
:
thus
doth
our
Sauiour
himselfe
expound
the
lawe
that
all
duties
pertayning
to
life
and
manners
;
come
within
the
list
of
some
morall
commandement
.
That
all

of

appertayne

them
,
When
we
haue
done
all
those
thinges
that

,
we

,
we
haue
done
that
which

our
duty
to
doe
.

looking

,
they

we

what
therefore
wilt

giue

S.

,

When

then
say

that
you
are

S.

de

That
there
are

who
haue
made
them-selues
chaste
,
for
the
Kingdome
of
Heauen
;
and
biddeth
them
that
can

that
course
of
life
,
to
take
it
:
That
some
hauing
the
gift
of
continency
,
doe
leade

life
,
that
they
may
with
more
liberty

f●●●her
the
good
state
of
the
Church
of

,
or
the
kingdome
of
grace
in
themselues
,
and
others
:
this
is
all
that
can
be
gathered
out
of
this
place
.
Christ
saith
vnto
a
young
man
:
If
thou
wilt
be
perfect
,
goe
sell
that
thou
hast
,
and
giue
to

and
thou
shalt
haue
a
treasure
in

:
and
come
and
followe

.
If
thou
wilt
be
perfect
goe
sell
all
Christ
to
discouer
to
this
man
the
secret
corruption
of
his
owne
hart
,
commanded
him
to
and
so
this
is
a
commandement
of
tryall
,
not
common
to
all
,
but
speciall
to
him
only
;
as
the
sacrificing
of
sonne
was
only
to
and
not
to
be
drawne
for
an
example
to
others
.
To
sell
all
to
keepe
the
commandements
,
if
he
would
haue
life
euerlasting
,
he
had
so
done
from
his
youth
,
what
was
yet
wanting
vnto
him
:
then
looking
on
him
,
loued
him
,
That

S.

That

in
vpon

S.

Neither

The

THey
hold
that
the

doe
make
intercession
for
particular
men
:
and
that
hauing
receiued
particular
mens
prayers
,
they
present
them
vnto
God
;
but
this
doctrine
doe
we
flatly
renounce
vpon
these
groundes
and
reasons

The
Church
saith
to
God
:
doubtlesse
thou
art
our
Father
though
be
ignorant
of
vs
,
and
knowe
vs
not
.
Nowe
if
knewe
not
his
posterity
,
neither
nor
any
Saint
departed
knowe
vs

our
estate
:
and
consequently
they
cannot
make
particular

that

God

place

Therefore
,
the

the

:
this
conclusion

at
large
he

conclusion

that
soules
departed
,
of
their
owne
naturall
knowledge
doe
not
vnderstand
what
is
done
by
their
friendes
here
;
but
that
either
by
the
report
of
other
soules
that
come
to
them
,
or
of
Angels
that
goe
betweene
;
or
else
by
the
reuelation
of
the
spirit
of
God
(
in
whose
presence
Saints
departed
doe
continually
stand
)
they
may
very
well
knowe
,
that
which
is
here
done
:
S.
Augustine
No
Creature
,
Saint
,
or
Angell
,
can
be
a
Mediatour
for
vs
to
God
,
sauing
Christ
alone
:
for
in
a
true
Mediatour
there
must
be
three
thinges
.
First
,
that
the
word
of
God
must
reueale
and
propound
him
vnto
the
Church
.
Secondly
,
a
Mediatour
must
be
perfectly
just
,
so
as
no
sinne
be
found
in
him
at
all
.
Thirdly
,
a
Mediatour
must
be
a
propitiator
,
that
is
:
he
must
bring
to
God
some
thing
,
that
may
appease
and
satisfie
his
wrath
for
our
sinnes
:
S.
Paul
That
we
haue
one
Mediatour
the
man
Christ
,
who
gaue
himselfe
a
redemption
for
all
.
we
haue
one
Mediatour
,
that
gaue
himselfe
a
redemption
for
all
,
he
desireth
that
intercessions
and
prayers
be
made
of
the
Christians
for
all
men
,
yea
for
I
was
an
intercessour
and
meanes
,
or
mediatour
betweene
our
Lord
and
you
.
S.
Paul
a
Mediatour
:
the
law
was
ordayned
by
Angels
,
in
the
hand
of
a
Mediatour
.
S.
Stephen
a
Redeemer
a
Sauiour
S.
Cyril
The
Mediatour
of
God
and
man
is
Christ
,
not
only
because
he
reconciled
men
vnto
God
;
but
for
that
he
is
naturally
both
God
and
man
in
one
person
.
For
by
this
meanes
God
reconciled
our
natures
to
him
;
for
otherwise
howe
should
haue
said
,
Christ
to
be
the
only
Mediatour
:
for
many
of
the
Saints
haue
vsed
the
ministery
of
mediation
;
as
himselfe
,
crying
vpon
men
to
be
reconciled
to
God
:
and
was
a
Mediatour
;
for
he
ministred
the
lawe
vnto
the
people
:
and
was
also
a
Mediatour
,
when
he
stood
before
God
and
prayed
for
good
thinges
to
the
people
.
What
neede
many
wordes
all
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
were
Mediatours
.
S.
Cyril
who
hoped
for
mercy
at
Gods
handes
,
and
forgiuenesse
of
his
sinnes
by
the
mediation
of
the
holy
Prophets
,
Apostles
,
and
Martirs
.
S.
Bernard
we
stand
in
neede
of
a
Mediatour
,
to
the
Mediatour
:
and
no
one
more
for
our
profit
and
commodity
,
then
the
blessed
Virgin
Mary
Through
our
Lord
Christ
thy
Sonne
,
who
with
thee
liueth
and
raigneth
in
the
vnity
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
God
,
for
euer
and
euer
.
All
true
inuocation
and
prayer
,
made
according
vnto
the
will
of
God
,
must
haue
a
double
foundation
:
a
commandement
,
and
a
promise
.
A
commandement
to
moue
vs
to
pray
:
and
a
promise
to
assure
vs
that
we
shall
be
heard
:
for
euery
prayer
must
be
made
in
faith
;
and
without
a
commandement
,
and
promise
there
is
no
faith
.
Vpon
this
infallible
ground
I
conclude
,
that
we
may
not
pray
to
Saints
departed
:
for
in
the
Scripture
there
is
no
word
either
commanding
vs
to
pray
to
them
,
or
assuring
vs
that
we
shall
be
heard
when
we
pray
.
a
commandement
to
pray
,
and
promise
to
be
heard
when
we
pray
:
that
he
would
either
blot
him
out
of
the
booke
of
life
,
or
else
pardon
his
people
the
Israelites
,
Sunne
should
not
moue
against
and
it
stayed
his
course
for
a
whole
day
space
,
God
obeying
vnto
the
voice
of
man
,
S.
Paul
he
prayed
that
the
pricke
of
the
flesh
should
be
taken
away
from
him
?
We
are
commanded
to

and

S.
Augustine
Howe
shall
we
call
vpon
him
in
whome
we
haue
not
beleeued
?
but
we
may
not
beleeue
in
Saints
,
therefore
we
may
not
call
vpon
them
.
beleeuing
in

The

God
,
and
his

Moyses
.
That
we
haue
no
promise
to
be
heard
,
but
for
Christs
sake
.
for
Christs
sake
for
our
only
warrant
of
inuocation
of
Saints
,
miracles
and
reuelations
that
to
judge
of
any
point
of
doctrine
by
miracles
,
three
thinges
must
concurre
.
First
,
the
doctrine
of
faith
and
piety
to
be
confirmed
.
Secondly
,
prayer
to
God
that
some
thing
may
be
done
for
the
ratifying
of
the
said
doctrine
.
Thirdly
,
the
manifest
edification
of
the
Church
by
the
two
former
.
S.
Bernard
as
a
doctrine
of
faith
and
great
piety
,
he
blessed
some
certaine
loafes
of
bread
that
were
presented
to
him
,
and
prayed
to
God
that
if
inuocation
to
Saints
were
pure
doctrine
of
faith
,
that
then
whosoeuer
should
taste
of
that
bread
,
might
be
cured
of
what
disease
soeuer
he
was
sicke
.
A
Bishop
that
stoode
by
,
added
;
yea
Sir
,
if
they
receiue
them
with
good
faith
they
shall
be
healed
.
replyed
:
I
said
not
so
,
but
whosoeuer
shall
truly
taste
of
them
shall
be
cured
,
that
they
may
knowe
vs
to
haue
the
truth
,
and
to
be
the
true
messengers
of
God
.
An
huge
multitude
of
sicke
and
diseased
persons

of
that
bread
,
recouered
perfect
health
.
miracles
be
to
be
done
for
and
not
for
them
who
beleeue
.
our
faith
is
not
to
be
confirmed
by
reuelations
,
and
apparitions
of
dead
men
,
but
by
the
writings
of
the
Apostles
and
Prophets
.
To
pray
to
Saints
departed
,
to
bowe
the
knee
to
them
while
they
are
in
heauen
,
is
to
asscribe
vnto
them
,
that
which
is
proper
to
God
:
namely
to
knowe
the
hart
and
inward
desires
thereof
,
and
to
knowe
the
speeches
and
behauiours
of
all
men
,
in
all
places
on
the
earth
at
all
times
.
S.
Augustine
That
God
can
giue
such
power
vnto
his
Saints
and
Martirs
,
that
they
may
be
present
in
spirit
at
euery
place
throughout
the
world
,
where
there
is
any
memory
of
them
:
or
prayer
made
vnto
them
.
S.
Gregory
What
doe
they
not
see
who
see
him
that
seeth
all
thinges
;
yea
,
contayneth
all
thinges
within
himselfe
?
that
it
is
but
a
forgery
of
mans
braine
,
to
imagine
that
the
God-head
is
such
a
cleare
glasse
,
representing
all
thinges
;
because
it
should
then
followe
,
that
the
Angels
who
behold
Gods
face
,
should
be
ignorant
of
nothing
:
but
the
Angels
haue
learned
some
thinges
of
the
Church
(
as
witnesseth
:
)
therefore
they
see
not
all
thinges
in
God
.
Christ
saith
,
come
yee
vnto
me
all
yee
that

and

secondly
there
is
a
great
difference
betweene
requesting
one
to

for
vs
,
and
by
inuocation
to
request
them
that
are

:
for
this
is
a
worshippe

a

Iacob

S.
Augustine
If
the

being
absent
in
body
,
did
see
his
seruant
receiuing
the
gifts
which
gaue
him
how
much
more
in
that

shall
Saints
see
all
thinges
,
not
only
if
they
shut
their
eyes
,
but
also
from
whence
they
be
in
body
absent
?
We
knowe
in
part
and
in
part
doe
we
prophesie
,
but
when
that
shall
come
which
is
perfect
,
then
shall
that
be
made
voide
which
is

&c.
S.
Augustine
:
If
the
knowledge
of
this
life
in
such
as
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
were
,
be
no
more
in
comparison
of
the
Saints
knowledge
in
heauen
,
then
is
a
little
childe
compared
to
a
man
,
and
this
which
is
in
part
to
that
which
is
perfect
:
then
surely
if
and
other
Prophets
did
see
thinges
done
farre
distant
from
them
,
yea
thinges
that
were
to
be
done
many
hundred

after

being
(
without

)

Let

shee
must
not

And
why

hath
an

If

they
shut

also

soeuer

finally
dissenteth
from

because
they
are
not
content
to
pray
to
Saints

but
say
further
;
that
God
through
their
merits
in
heauen
,
doth
bestowe
many
benefits
vpon
vs
on
earth
.
that
men
vpon
earth
haue
helpe
and
benefit
,
by
the
faith
and
piety
which
the
Saints
departed
shewed
when
they
were
in

for

on
them

S.
Ambrose
That
the
Saints
in
heauen
haue
receiued
the
full
reward
of
all
their
merits

and
therefore
there
is
nothing
further
that
they

and
charity
,
whiles
they
liued
,
did
and
doth
still
moue
and
cause
God
to
shewe
mercy
vnto
thousands
THis
question
is
handled
for
two
causes
first
,
to
rectifie
the
conscience
of
the
weaker
sort
secondly
,
to
rectifie
their
Catechismes
which
doe
require
too
full
an
assurance
of
saluation
in
all
men
.
a
twofold
implicity
of
faith
:
first
,
that
faithfull
men
may
be
ignorant
at
the
beginning
of
many
articles
of
faith
,
and
learne
them
afterwardes
.
The
second
fold
that
many
haue
not
at
their
conuersion
,
and
in
time
of
temptation
,
a
full
assurance
of
their
saluation
;
which
notwithstanding
will
serue
the
turne
then
,
if
they
desire
to
haue
a
full
assurance
,
and
labour
afterward
to
attayne
vnto
it
:
which
to
the
comfort
of
their
consciences
,
that
cannot
perswade
themselues
so
assuredly
,
that
their
sinnes
are
pardoned
them
.
worke
his
saluation
with
trembling
and
feare
,
That
we
teach
not
faith
to
be
a
knowledge
of
thinges
beleeued
;
but
a
reuerent
assent
vnto
them
,
whether
they
be
knowne
or
vnknowne
.
which
is
the
pillar
and
fortresse
of
truth
:
articles
of
the
Apostles
Creede
,
the
tenne
Commandements
,
and
those
Sacraments
which
they
themselues
are
to
receiue
.
all
such
lawes
and
ordinances
of
either
the
spirituall
,
or
temporall
Gouernour
,
which
doe
appertayne
vnto
their
owne
estate
That
some
articles
of
faith
,
were
at
the
first
beleeued
generally
by
an
infolded
faith
,
which
afterward
being
by
generall
Councels
vnfolded
,
and
declared
to
be
articles
of
faith
,
were
beleeued
expreslie
.
That
all
matters
of
faith
are
contained
plainelie
in
the
Scriptures
.
To
this
I
say
,
that
the
word
Purgatory
may
be
taken
diuersly
,
and
signifie
many
thinges
;
which
because
they
be
not
to
the
present
purpose
,
may
be
here
well
omitted
.
WE
differ
in
two
thinges
:
first
,
concerning
the
place
,
the
hold
it
to
be
vnder
the
ground
,
into
which
mens
soules
after
this
life
doe
enter
.
This
we
deny
as
hauing
no
warrant
in
the
word
,
which
mentioneth
only
two
places
for
men
after
this
life
:
heauen
and
hell
it
is
not
mentioned
in
the
Scriptures
.

Holies
was

by

to
be

and
they
by
the
death
of
the

,
to
receiue
the
eternall

.
That
they
who
dyed
in
the

,
are
bidden
to
rest
from
their

:
which
cannot
be
if
they
goe
into

to
cut
off

cauils
,
it

Here

here

moue

lastly
,
here

the
euill
from
which
we
desire
to
be
deliuered
,
but
there
is
none
of
all
these
thinges
.
S.
Augustine
.
We
be
not
here
without
sinnes
,
but
we
shall
goe
hence
without
sinne
.
This
punishment
tarryeth
for
them
,
who
shal
perish
euerlastingly
;
to
whome
it
is
said
:
But
they
who
haue
done
thinges
worthy
of
temporall
punishment

of
whome
the
Apostle
saith
:
of
which
also
the
Prophet
speaketh
,
and
They
shall
passe

floodde
,
and

foordes
of

And
according
to
the
greatnes
of
the
matter
of
sinne
,
so
shall
their
stay
and
aboade
be
there
;
and
as
much
as
their
former
faults
required
,
so
much
shall
the
reasonable
correction
of
the
flame
take
of
the
man
.
Enchyridion
:
Neyther
is
it
to
be
denyed
,
but
that
the
soules
of
the
departed
,
are
holden
by
the
piety
of
their
friendes
aliue
;
when
for
them
is
offered
the
Sacrifice
of
our
Mediatour
,
or
almes
are
giuen
in
the
Church
for
them
.
But
these
thinges
profit
them
,
who
when
they
liued
,
did
deserue
that
these
thinges
might
profit
them
:
for
there
is
a
certayne
kinde
of
life
neither
so
good
,
that
it
doth
not
neede
these
after
their
death
,
neither
so
euill
,
but
that
these
thinges
will
profit
him
after
his
death
.
There
is
a
life
so
good
,
that
it
needeth
not
these
thinges
▪
and
againe
another
so
euill
,
that
cannot
be
holpen
with
them
,
de
verbis
Apostoli
:
It
is
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
that
men
deceased
this
life
,
are
holpen
by
the
prayers
of
the
holy
Church
,
and
by
the
comfortable
Sacrifice
,
and
by
almes
,
which
are
giuen
for
their
soules
;
that
our
Lord
doth
deale
with
them
more
mercifully
,
then
their
sinnes
required
:
S.
Augustine
saith
:
They
which
are
once
dead
,
can
adde
nothing
to
the
thinges
that
they
haue
done
,
but
shall
remayne
as
they
were
left
,
and
wayte
for
the
time
of
the
last
judgement
.
S.
Chrysostome
That
after
the
end
of
this
life
there
be
no
occasions
of
merit
.
S.
Augustine
S.
Chrysostome
The
dead
are
holpen
not
by
their
friendes
weeping
;
but
by
their
prayers
,
supplications
,
and
almes
.
we
differ
from
them
touching
the
meanes
of
Purgatory
.
They
say
that
men
are
purged
by
suffering
of
paines
in
Purgatory
,
whereby
they
satisfie
for
their
veniall
sinnes
,
and
for
the
temporall
punishment
of
their
mortall
sinnes
:
We
teach
the
contrary
,
holding
that
nothing
can
free
vs
,
from
the
least
punishment
of
the
smallest
sinne
,
but
the
sufferinges
of
Christ
.
Indeede
they
say
,
that
our
sufferinges
in
themselues
considered
,
doe
not
purge
and
satisfie
;
but
as
they
are
made
meritorious
by
the
sufferings
of
Christ
.
But
to
this
I
oppose
one
text
of
Scripture
:
where
the
last
clause
cuts
the
throate
of
all
humane
satisfactions
and
merits
:
and
it
giueth
vs
to
vnderstand
,
that
whatsoeuer
purgeth
vs
from
our
sinnes
,
is
not
to
be
found
in
vs
,
but
in
Christ
alone
.
That
by
afflictions
which
men
suffer
in
this
world
,
they
are
clensed
from
their
corruption
;
as
gold
is
from
the
drosse
by
fire
.
by
himselfe
That
Christ
not
by
the
bloud
of
Calues
or
Goates
,
but
by
his
owne
bloud
,
purged
vs
from
our
sinnes
,
and
wrought
our
redemption
we
suffer
with
him
if
we
will
raigne
with
him
,
that
he
in
his
body
accomplished
those
thinges
,
that
wanted
to
the
passions
of
Christ
.
We
hold
that
Christian
charity
must
extend
it selfe
to
them
that
be
dead
,
to
wit
:
in
honest
buriall
of
them
,
in
preseruing
their
good
names
,
and
in
reliefe
of
their
posterity
.
Further
we
pray
in
generall
for
the
faithfull
departed
,
that
God
would
hasten
their
joyfull
resurrection
.
To
pray
for
particular
men
departed
,
and
to
pray
for
their
deliuerance
out
of
Purgatory
,
we
thinke
it
vnlawfull
;
because
we
haue
neither
promise
,
nor
commandement
so
to
doe

O

reproue
me
not

thy
indignation
,
that
I
goe
not

;
neither
correct
me
in
thy

but
purge
me
in

and
make
me
such
a
one
,
that
shall
haue
no
neede
of
that
purging

,
prepared
for
them
who
shall
be
saued

yet
so
,
as

And
why
so
?
but
because
here
they
doe
build
vpon
the
foundation
,
wood
,
hay
,
and
stubble
:
if
they
did
build
gold
,
siluer

,
they
should
be
safe
from
both
fires
;
not
only
from
that
euerlasting
,
which
is
to
punish
the
wicked
euerlastingly
,
but
from
that
also
,
which
shall
correct
them
who
shall
be
saued
by
fire
:
for
it
is
said
,
he
shall
be
saued
,
yet
so
as
by

.
And
because
he
shall
be
saued
,
that
fire
is
contemned
:
yea
truly
,
though
they
shall
be
saued
,
yet
that

is
more
grieuous
,
then
whatsoeuer
a
man
can
suffer
in

S.

That
a
sinne
to
death
,
is
to
leaue

working
by
charity
,
euen
till

.
S.
Chrysostome
That
it
was
not
without
good
cause
ordayned
and
decreed
by
the
Apostles
,
that
in
the
dreadfull
mysteries
there
be
made
a
commemoration
of
the
dead
.
For
they
did
knowe
,
that
they
should
receiue
thereby
great
profit
and
much
commodity
.
S.
Augustine
It
is
not
to
be
doubted
,
but
that
the
dead
are
holpen
by
the
prayers
of
holy
Church
,
and
by
the
comfortable
sacrifice
,
and
by
the
almes
that
are
giuen
for
their
soules
,
that
God
may
deale
more
mercifully
with
them
,
then
their
sinnes
deserued
.
For
the
vniuersall
Church
obserueth
and
keepeth
this
,
as
by
tradition
receiued
from
the
Fathers
,
that
for
them
who
are
departed
in
the
communion
of
the
body
and
bloud
of
Christ
,
when
at
the
sacrifice
there
is
made
a
commemoration
or
mention
of
them
,
they
are
prayed
for
;
and
the
sacrifice
is
remembred
to
be
offered
for
them
.
reckoneth
it
among
the
traditions
of
the
Apostles
,
to
pray
for
the
soules
of
the
faithfull
departed
.
S.
Augustines
it
is
a
point
of
most
insolent
madnesse
,
to
dispute
against
that
,
which
the
whole
Church
doth
practise
.
S.
Augustine
that
to
the
heresie
he
added
this
of
his
owne
,
that
we
must
not
offer
sacrifice
nor
pray
for
the
soules
of
the
departed
:
When
a
sinner
is
truly
conuerted
,
though
the
fault
and
eternall
paine
due
to
it
,
be
through
Christes
merits
freely
pardoned
him
;
yet
,
there
remayneth
some
temporall
punishment
to
be
suffered
by
the
party
himselfe
,
for
the
same
offence
before
remitted
.

affection
might

followe

I
therefore
(

laying
aside
for
a

THe
Church
of
giueth
to
a
supremacy
vnder
Christ
aboue
all
persons
and
causes
:
this
standeth
in
a
power
to
determine
which
bookes
of
Scripture
be
Canonicall
,
and
what
is
the
true
sence
of
any
doubtfull
place
of
them
;
and
for
this
purpose
to
call
and
assemble
generall
Councels
,
and
to
confirme
the
decrees
of
them
,
and
by
these
meanes
to
decide
all
controuersi●●
about
matter
of
faith
.
Besides
,
he
can
excommunicate
any
Christian
be
he
King
or
Kaesar
,
if
they
by
obstinate
withstanding
Gods
lawes
or
the
decrees
of

Church
,
shal
justly
deserue
it
.
Moreouer
,
to
him
it
doth
belong
to
make
Ecclesiasticall
Canons
and
lawes
,
for
the
due
discipline
and
ordering
of
matters
of
the
Church
,
which
doe
binde
in
conscience
.
Finally
,
to
confirme
the
election
of
Bishops
,
and
to
decide
all
such
greater
controuersies
,
as
by
appeale
are
brought
vnto
him
from
any
part
of
Christendome
.
of
pardoning
of
sinnes
hold
,
that
neyther
nor
any
Bishop
of
had
or
hath
any
such
supremacy
ouer
the
Church
:
but
that
all
supremacy
vnder
Christ
is
appertaining
to
Kinges
and
Princes
with
him
in
their
Dominions
.
And
that
our
doctrine
is
good
and
theirs
false
,
I
will
make
manifest
by
sundry
reasons
.
First
,
Christ
must
be
considered
as
he
was
a
King
,
two
wayes
:
first
,
as
he
is
God
,
so
is
he
King
ouer
al
by
right
of
creation
;
and
so
as
God
hath
deputies
on
earth
to
gouerne
the
world
,
namely
Kings
and
Princes
.
Secondly
,
he
is
King
by
right
of
redemption
ouer
the
whole
Church
,
which
he
hath
redeemed
with
his
pretious
bloud
;
and
so
as
mediatour
and
redeemer
,
he
hath
no
fellowe
nor
deputy
:
for
no
creature
is
capable
of
this
office
,
to
doe
in
the
roome
and
stead
of
Christ
that
which
himselfe
doth
;
because
euery
worke
of
the
mediatour
must
arise
from
the
effectes
of
two
natures
concurring
in
one
action
,
namely
the
God-head
and
Man-hood
.
Againe
,
Christes
Priest-hood
cannot
passe
from
his
person
to
any
other
;
whence
it
followeth
,
that
neyther
his
Kingly
,
nor
his
Propheticall
office
,
can
passe
from
him
to
any
creature
.
Nay
,
it
is
needlesse
for
Christ
to
haue
a
deputy
,
considering
that
a
deputy
only
serueth
to
supply
the
absence
of
the
principall
:
whereas
Christ
is
alwayes
present
by
his
word
and
spirit
,
it
may
be
said
that
the
Ministers
in
the
worke
of
the
ministery
are
Christes
deputies
.
I
answere
,
that
they
are
no
deputies
,
but
only
actiue
instruments
;
because
they
doe
only
vtter
the
word
,
but
it
is
Christ
that
worketh
in
the
hart
.
In
like
manner
in
excommunication
,
it
is
Christ
that
cutteth
that
excommunicate
person
from
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
;
and
the
Church
doth
only
declare
this
,
by
cutting
him
off
from
the
rest
of
Christes
people
,
vntill
he
repent
:
so
that
in
all
Ecclesiasticall
actions
,
Christ
hath
no
deputies
but
only
instruments
,
the
whole
action
being
personall
in
respect
of
Christ
.

That

consequently
ceased

without

because
that
when

,
it
was
needefull

that

goe

or

if
you
will
haue
both
alike
,
you
shall
leefe
both
:
otherwise
you
must
not
thinke
your selfe
excempted
from

complayned
;
ye

that

As
I

S.

To

That

he
then
was
exalted
ouer
Nations
and
Kingdomes
,
yet
not
to
domineer
ouer
them

to
serue

Who

thou

the

Thou
art
he
to
whome
the
keyes
of

were
deliuered
,
to
whome
the
sheepe
were
committed
.
There
are
also
indeede
other
Porters
of

,
and
Pastors
of

;
but
thou
art
so
much
the
more
glorious
,
as
thou
hast
inherited
a
more
excellent

aboue
them
.
They
haue
their

to
thee
all

Thou

That

dischardged
that
which

in

had

He

albeit
the

themselues
requested

S.

That
if

out

that

That
all

vnto

of
and
could
not
afterward
remoue
the
case
from
thence
,
without
great
scandall
and
contumacy
.
That
without
all
doubt
the
Patriarke
of

subject
vnto
the
Sea
Apostolike
.
That
all

it
For
in
that
he
saith
himselfe
to

this
Sea
,
if
any
fault
be
found
in

I
knowe
not
what
Bishop
is
not

It
is
euident
vnto
all
that
know
the
Gospel
,
that
by
our

voyce
the

of
the

was
committed
vnto
the
most
blessed
and
Prince
of
all
the

,
The
Church
of
to
be
head
of
all
Churches

That
Priests
are
the
chiefe
members
of

I
knowe
the
most
pious
Princes
to
line

to

to

not

S.

Gregory
:
That

professed
obedience
vnto

and
to
haue
acknowledged
no
other
man
for

Nothing
is
to
be
beleeued
as
necessary
to
saluation
,
that
is
not
written
in
the
word
of
God
:
but
it
is
not
written
any
where
in
the
new

,
that
our
Sauiour
Christ
committed
the
gouernement
of
his

therefore
no
such
thing
is

That
it

:
We
doe
not
suffer
any

that
we
make

Marke
That

Wherefore
,
if

S.
Peter
We
teach
and
beleeue
that
the
Sacraments
are
signes
to
represent
Christ
with
his
benefits
to
vs
.
We
teach
further
,
that
the
Sacraments
are
indeede
instruments
,
whereby
God
offereth
and
giueth
the
fore-said
benefits
to
vs
.
teach
,
that
the
Sacraments
are
true
and
proper
instrumentall
causes
,
which
being
moued
by
God
thereunto
,
doe
produce
and
giue
grace
to
the
worthy
receiuer
.
Euen
as
the
penne
doth
make
the
letter
,
or
as
the
axe
doth
cut
the
wood
,
being
thereto
applyed
by
the
workeman
:
so
(
for
example
)
doth
the
Sacrament
of
baptisme
wash
away
the
sinnes
of
the
baptised
,
being
by
God
therevnto
ordayned
,
and
rightly
vsed
by
the
Minister
.
But
that
the
Sacraments
haue
no
operation
to
that
effect
of
forgiuenesse
of
sinnes
,
but
are
only
outward
meanes
,
which
being
applyed
vnto
the
party
,
God
of
himselfe
doth
immediately
purge
him
from
sinne
,
Whereas
we
require
a
fit
disposition
in
the
receiuer
to
make
him
capable
of
the
grace
presented
,
and
exhibited
vnto
him
,
by
the
Sacrament
Who
beholding
those
signes
from
God
in
the
handes
of
the
Minister
,
must
conceite
and
imagine
:
First
,
that
God
himselfe
by
his
owne
mouth
,
doth
promise
him
seuerally
and
by
name
,
remission
of
his
sinnes
,
the
signe
and
pledge
whereof
,
is
that
Sacrament
;
which
the
minde
considering
reasoneth
thus
:
he
that
vseth
the
elements
aright
,
in
faith
and
repentance
,
shall
receiue
grace
thereby
;
but
I
vse
the
elements
aright
,
therefore
shall
I
receiue
from
God
increase
of
grace
.
Thus
then
faith
is
confirmed
,
not
by
the
worke
done
,
but
by
a
kinde
of
reasoning
;
the
proofe
whereof
is
borrowed
from
the
elements
,
being
signes
and
pledges
of
Gods
mercy
.
A
man
of
yeares
must
first
beleeue
,
and
be
justified
,
before
he
can
be
a
meete
pertaker
of
any
Sacrament
.

The
word
preached
,
and
the
Sacraments
doe
differ
in
the
manner
of
giuing
Christ
vnto
vs
,
because
the
word
worketh
by
the
eare
,
and
the
Sacraments
by
the
eye
:
otherwise
,
for
the
giuing
it selfe
they
differ
not
,
Christ
saying
;
that
in
the
very
word
is
eaten
his
owne
flesh
:
and
what
can
be
said
more
of
the
Lordes
supper
?
saith
,
that
beleeuers
are
pertakers
of
the
body
and
bloud
in
baptisme
:
so
saith
Nowe
vpon
this
it
followeth
,
that
seing
the
worke
done
in
the
word
preached
,
conferreth
not
grace
;
neyther
doth
the
worke
done
in
the
Sacrament
conferre
grace
.
that
the
word
preached
and
the
Sacraments
doe
differ
in
the
manner
of
giuing
vs
Christes
grace
:
I
baptise
you
with
water
to
repentance
,
but
he
that
commeth
after
me
shall
baptise
you
with
the
holy
Ghost
and
with
fire
.
Hence
it
is
manifest
,
that
grace
proceedeth
not
from
any
act
of
the
Sacrament
:
for
though
he
doe
not
disjoyne
himselfe
and
his
action
from
Christ
,
and
the
action
of
the
spirit
;
yet
doth
he
distinguish
them
plainely
in
number
,
persons
,
and
effect
.

from

,
howe
shall

standeth
much

this

to
proue
that
justification

,

the

,
so
we
may
walke

the

doe
not
produce
grace
into
our
soules
:
If
there
be
any
grace
in
the
water
,
it
is
not
from
the
nature
of
the

,
but
from

That

,
is

are

First
,
because
by

signification
they
helpe

Secondly

because
they
seale

saluation
to

yea
,
God
giueth
grace
and
saluation
vnto
vs
,
when
we
vse
them
well
:
so
that
we
beleeue
the

whereof
they
are
seales

hold
it
the
surest
course
,
to
put
their
trust
in
the
mercy
of
God
and
merits
of
Christ
for
their
saluation
:
yet
in
sobri●t●
they
may
haue
confidence
both
in
their
owne
merittes
,
and
in
other
good
mens
prayers
.
That
we
make
that
our
God
,
in
which
we
put
our
trust
:
That
we
must
not
only
beleeue
in
generall
,
the
promises
of
life
euerlasting
,
but
apply
them
to
vs
in
particular
by
hope
.
That
by
faith
we
must
assure
our selues
of
our
saluation
present
,
and
by
hope
continue
the
certainety
of
it
.
That
they
teach
not
that
euery
man
liuing
within
the
precincts
of
their
Church
,
is
certayne
of
his
saluation
by
faith
;
but
that
he
ought
so
t●
be
,
and
must
endeauour
to
attayne
thereto
.
That
we
abolish
the
substance
of
faith
,
namely
in
denying
the
particular
certayne
application
of
Christ
crucified
,
and
his
benefits
vnto
our selues
.
Repentance
is
the
conuersion
of
a
sinner
;
which
is
twofold
,
passiue
and
actiue
:
passiue
is
an
action
of
God
,
whereby
he
conuerteth
a
sinner
.
Actiue
is
an
action
whereby
the
sinner
once
turned
by
God
,
turneth
himselfe
and
doth
good
workes
,
as
the
fruit
there
of
:
of
this
later
the
question
is
.
That
repentance
standeth
specially
for
practise
,
in
contrition
of
hart
,
confession
of
mouth
,
and
satisfaction
in
worke
or
deede
.
There
be
two
sortes
of
contrition
;
one
,
when
a
man
is
sorrowfull
for
feare
only
of
hell
,
and
other
punishments
in
this
life
:
The
other
Euangelicall
,
when
one
is
greeued
for
his
sinnes
,
not
so
much
for
feare
of
hell
,
as
because
he
hath
offended
so
good
and
mercyfull
a
God
;
which
is
alwayes
necessary
.
Secondly
,
We
hold
confession
necessary
to
be
made
,
first
to
God
,
then
publikely
to
the
congregation
,
if
any
man
be
excommunicate
for
any
crime
.
Thirdly
,
To
our
neighbour
,
when
we
haue
offended
and
wronged
him
.
Lastly
,
In
all
true
repentance
there
must
be
satisfaction
made
:
First
to
God
,
by
intreating
him
to
accept
of
Christes
satisfaction
for
our
sinnes
.
Secondly
,
to
the
Church
for
publike
offences
,
in
humiliation
to
testifie
the
truth
of
our
repentance
.
Thirdly
,
satisfaction
is
to
be
made
to
our
neighbour
,
because
if
he
be
wronged
,
he
must
haue
recompence
and
restitution
made
.
That
in
repentance
,
we
are
to
bring
forth
outward
fruites
,
worthy
amendment
of
life
:
whereof
the
principall
is
,
to
endeauour
day
and
night
by
Gods
grace
to
leaue
and
renounce
al
and
euery
sinne
,
and
in
all
thinges
to
doe
the
will
of
God
.
WE
dissent
not
from
the
Church
of
in
the
doctrine
of
repentance
it selfe
,
but
in
the
abuses
thereof
:
first
in
generall
,
because
they
beginne
repentance
part
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
and
part
of
themselues
,
by
the
power
of
their
free
will
helped
by
the
holy
Ghost
ascribeth
it
wholy
vnto
God
,
prouing
if
God
at
any
time
will
giue
them
repentance
,
a
passione
repentance
an
actiue
The
second
abuse
of
mistaking
of
penance
,
for
the
correction
only
of
notorious
offenders
,
The
third
abuse
is
,
that
we
make
repentance
not
only
a
vertue
,
but
also
a
Sacrament
;
whereas
for
a
thousand
yeares
after
Christ
,
it
was
not
reckoned
among
the
Sacraments
.
Yea
,
it
seemeth
that
was
one
of
the
first
,
that
called
it
a
Sacrament
:
and
the
Schoole-men
after
him
disputed
of
the
matter
and
forme
of
this
Sacrament
,
not
able
any
of
them
certainely
to
define
,
what
should
be
the
outward
element
of
it
.

S●●e
crauing
to
be
baptised
,
other
to
be
reconciled
and
to
doe
Penance
,
euery
one
of
them
seeking
comfort
,
and
the
administration
of
the
Sacraments
That
they
seeke
after
the
administration
of
Sacraments
.
If
the
Ministers
or
Priestes
be
present
;
some
are
baptised
,
some
be
reconciled
,
none
are
defrauded
of
the
communion
of
our
Lordes
body
.
Let
him
be
redeemed
by
the
bloud
of
our
Sauiour
,
eyther
in
the
house
of
Baptisme
;
or
in
Penance
,
that
doth
imitate
the
grace
of
baptisme
.
S.
Ambrose
Why
doe
yee
baptize
,
if
sinnes
may
not
be
pardoned
by
a
man
?
for
in
baptisme
there
is
remission
of
all
sinnes
:
neyther
is
it
any
matter
,
whether
Priestes
by
Penance
,
or
by
Baptisme
,
doe
chalenge
this
right
to
be
giuen
vnto
them
;
for
it
is
the
same
in
both
of
the
mysteries
.
S.
Ambrose
That
God
fore-seeing
the
poyson
and
infection
of
sinne
,
and
hauing
shut
vp
the
gate
of
pardon
,
and
bolted
the
doore
of
baptisme
,
hath
yet
suffered
something
else
to
lie
open
:
for
he
hath
in
the
porch
or
portall
placed
the
second
penance
,
that
may
be
opened
to
them
that
knocke
second
Penance
When
breathing
vpon
his
Disciples
he
bid
them
receiue
the
holy
Ghost
whose
sinnes
soeuer
they
remitted
in
earth
,
should
be
remitted
in
heauen
.
It
will
be
said
that
remissions
of
sinnes
,
and
life
euerlasting
are
promised
to
repentance
:
That
it
is
not
to
the
worke
of
repentance
,
but
to
the
person
which
repenteth
,
and
that
not
for
his
works
of
repentance
,
but
for
the
merits
of
Christ
applyed
vnto
him
by
faith
.
The
first
abuse
concerning
contrition
is
,
that
the
teach
that
it
must
be
sufficient
and
perfect
:
they
vse
to
helpe
the
matter
by
a
distinction
,
The
second
is
,
that
we
ascribe
to
Contrition
,
the
merit
of
congruity
.
That
they
make
imperfect
contrition
or
attrition
arising
of
the
feare
of
hell
,
to
be
good
and
profitable
,
and
to
it
they
apply
the
saying
of
the
Prophet
,
The
feare
of
God
is
the
beginning
of
wisdome
.
But
seruile
feare
of
it selfe
,
is
the
way
to
eternall
destruction
,
the
beginning
of
wisdome
That
we
confesse
our
sinnes
to
God
in
an
vnknowne
language
.
English
.
Withall
we
require
the
ayde
and
intercession
of
dead
men
.
That
we
haue
corrupted
Canonicall
confession
,
by
turning
it
into
a
priuate
auricular
confession
,
binding
all
men
to
confesse
all
their
mortall
sinnes
,
with
the
circumstances
that
change
the
kinde
of
the
sinne
(
as
farre
as
they
can
remember
)
once
euery
yeare
at
the
least
;
and
that
to
a
Priest
,
vnlesse
it
be
in
the
case
of
extreame
necessity
:
but
in
the
word
of
God
there
is
no
warrant
for
this
confession
,
nor
in
the
writinges
of
orthodoxe
antiquity
for
the
space
of
many
hundreth
yeares
after
Christ
;
as
one
of
their
owne
side
auoucheth
:
Receiue
the
holy
Ghost
whose
sinnes
yee
doe
forgiue
in
earth
,
they
shall
be
forgiuen
in
heauen
,
and
whose
sinnes
yee
doe
retayne
,
they
shall
be
retayned
.
That
Christ
gaue
not
his
Apostles
authority
to
pardon
any
mans
sinnes
,
but
only
to
declare
that
their
sinnes
were
pardoned
,
if
with
true
repentance
and
faith
they
receiued
the
preaching
of
the
Gospell
.
Whose
sinnes
yee
shall
remit
Whose
sinnes
yee
shall
forgiue
,
they
are
forgiuen
,
S.
Chrysostome
That
such
power
was
giuen
here
to
men
,
which
God
would
neuer
giue
to
Angels
,
That
Priestes
haue
such
power
of
binding
and
loosing
ouer
the
soules
,
as
Kinges
haue
ouer
their
subjects
bodyes
That
the
Priestes
among
the
had
power
to
purge
the
leprosie
,
or
rather
to
try
whether
they
were
purged
from
it
or
no
;
but
it
is
graunted
vnto
our
Priestes
,
not
only
to
discerne
whether
the
body
be
purged
from
leprosie
or
no
,
but
playnely
to
purge
our
soules
from
the
filth
of
sinne
.

and
truly

S.
Paul
the
ministery
of
reconciliation
they
be
Gods
Legates
,
and
therefore
exhorteth
them
to
be
reconciled
:
That
many
of
the
faithfull
came
confessing
,
and
declaring
their
deedes
:
and
many
that
had
followed

actes
,
brought
their
bookes

burned
them

S.
Paul
Confessing

That

offences
we
may
confesse
vnto
such
our

,
by
whose
prayers
we
trust
to
be
helped
:
but
the
vncleannesse
of
the
more
grieuous
leper
,
we
must
(
as
it
is
in
the
lawe
)
lay
open
to
the
Priest
;
and
according
to
his
judgement
we
must
endeauour
to

so
much
and
so

S.
Ireneus
That
they
comming
to
repentance
made
a
confession
of
their
faultes
.
Who
more
fearefull
of
their
owne
shame
,
then
carefull
of
their
saluation
,
put
off
their
confessions
from
day
to
day
:
whome
he
likeneth
to
them
who
had
diseases
in
their
secret
partes
,
and
fearing
to
discouer
them
to
the
physition
,
doe
through
their
owne
shamefastnesse
perish
.
That
this
confession
of
faultes
was
appointed
by
our
Lord
himselfe
.
There
is
also
a
seauenth
remission
of
sinnes
,
though
hard
and
laborious
,
which
is
by
penance
:
when
the
sinner
doth
wash
his
bedde
with
his
teares
,
and
when
he
is
not
ashamed
to
confesse
his
sinne
to
the
Priest
of
our
Lord
,
and
to
seeke
remedy
,
When
in
lesser
offences
penance
is
to
be
done
a
just
time
,
and
confession
is
to
be
made
;
his
life
being
looked
into
who
doth
the
penance
,
neyther
can
he
be
admitted
to
come
to
the
communion
,
before
the
Bishop
or
Clergy
haue
laid
their
handes
vpon
him
:
how
much
more
in
these
most
grieuous
and
exceeding
great
crimes
,
must
all
thinges
be
warylie
and
discretly
obserued
,
according
vnto
our
Lordes
order
and
discipline
?
Of
howe
much
greater
faith
and
better
feare
are
they
,
who
though
t●●y
be
not
entangled
with
any
crime
of
sacrifice
or
libell
;
yet
because
they
thought
of
those
offences
,
doe
simply
and
sorrowfully
confesse
them selues
euen
of
those
thoughts
vnto
the
Priestes
of
God
.

Athanasius
(
Going

Let
vs
examine
our selues
,
whether
the
fetters
of
our
sinnes
be
loosed
,
that
we
may
amend
our
liues
;
and
if
they
be
not
yet
loosed
,
let
vs
present
our selues
vnto
the
Disciples
of
For
they
are
present
,
that
by
authority
which
they
haue
receiued
from
our
Sauiour
can
loose
you
:
for
he
said
And
whose
sinnes
yee
forgiue
,
they
are
forgiuen
.
Of
necessity
must
we
confesse
our
sinnes
to
them
,
vnto
whome
the
dispensation
of
the
mysteries
of
God
is
committed
,
that
is
to
Priestes
.
Doe
thou
confidently
open
to
the
Priest
thy
faultes
,
discouer
the
secrets
of
thy
hart
,
(
as
priuy
woundes
)
vnto
the
physition
;
and
he
will
haue
care
both
of
thy
honour
,
and
of
thy
health
.
S.
Ambrose
If
that
serpent
the
Deuill
haue
bitten
any
man
secretly
,
and
haue
venimed
him
without
the
priuity
of
any
man
;
if
he
that
was
strooken
hold
his
peace
and
doe
not
penance
,
nor
will
confesse
his
wound
vnto
his
Brother
and
Master
,
his
Master
that
hath
a
tongue
to
cure
and
heale
him
,
cannot
easily
helpe
him
:
for
if
he
that
is
sicke
be
ashamed
to
shew
his
wound
vnto
the
physition
,
physicke
cannot
cure
that
which
it
knoweth
not
.
S.
Mathewe
So
here
the
Bishop
and
Priestes
doe
eyther
binde
or
loose
,
who
according
to
their
office
hauing
heard
the
variety
of
sinne
,
doth
knowe
who
is
to
be
bound
,
and
who
is
to
be
absolued
.
Be
sorrowfull
before
confession
but
when
thou
hast
confessed
leape
for
joy
,
euen
then
thou
shalt
be
cured
:
the
conscience
of
him
that
doth
not
goe
to
confession
,
hath
gathered
together
corrupt
matter
,
an
imposthume
is
swelled
out
,
it
vexeth
him
and
giueth
him
no
rest
;
the
Physitions
apply
the
lenitiue
of
wordes
,
and
sometimes
launce
him
,
Doe
thou
put
thy selfe
into
the
handes
of

of

which
hath

,
and
hath
therefore
beene

This

Creede
or
confession
of
faith
made
by
any
Councell
or
Church
,
for
the
space
of
many
hundreth
yeares
.
This
is
a
plaine
proofe
to
any
indifferent
man
,
that
these
be
newe
articles
of
faith
,
neuer
knowne
in
the
Apostolike
Church
;
and
that
the
Fathers
and
Councels
could
not
finde
any
such
articles
of
faith
in
the
bookes
of
the
old
and
newe
Testament
.
Answere
is
made
,
that
all
these
points
of
doctrine
are
beleeued
vnder
the
article
,
the
meaning
whereof
they
will
haue
to
be
this
.
I
beleeue
all
thinges
which
the
Church
holdeth
and
teacheth
to
be
beleeued
.
If
this
be
as
they
say
,
we
must
beleeue
in
the
Church
:
that
is
,
put
our
confidence
in
the
Church
,
for
the
manifestation
and
the
certainety
of
all
doctrine
necessary
to
saluation
.
And
thus
the
eternall
truth
of
God
the
creatour
,
shall
depend
vpon
the
determination
of
the
creature
;
And
the
written
word
of
God
in
this
respect
is
made
insufficient
,
as
though
it
had
not
plainely
reuealed
all
points
of
doctrine
pertaining
to
saluation
.
And
the
ancient
Churches
haue
beene
farre
ouer-seene
,
that
did
not
propound
the
former
pointes
to
be
beleeued
as
articles
of
faith
,

left
them
to

later
times

that

S.
Augustine
Christ
is
ascended
into
heauen
,
and
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
God
the
Father
,
therefore
his
body
is
not
really
and
locally
in
the
Sacrament
.
S.
Chrisostome
O
miracle
!
O
goodnesse
of
God!
he
that
sitteth
aboue
with
his
Father

at
the
very

instant
is
touched
with
the
handes
of
all
men

giueth
himselfe
to
them
that
will
receiue

embrace
him
!
In
that
we
beleeue
the
Church
,
it
followeth
that
it
is
inuisible
,
because
thinges
seene
,
are
not
beleeued

That
the
articles
of
remission
of
sinnes
;
resurrection
of
the
body
;
and
life
euerlasting

containe
a
confession

faith

For
the
meaning
of
them
is
thus
much
:
I
beleeue

remission

owne

the
resurrection

shall

it
is
not
necessary
to
haue
a
certaine
perswasion

owne

that
it

For

:
nowe
it
is
madnesse
to
thinke
that

,
who

,
can
deserue
or

good
of

this
must

vpon
,
that

punishment
may
be

the
crime
it selfe
,

the
eternall
is
remitted

but
this
cannot
stand
For
we
owe
to

obedience

and
for
the
defect
of

we
owe
to
God
the
forfeiture
of
punishment
.
Sinne
then
is
called
our
debt
,
in
respect
of
the
punishment
:
And
therefore
when
we
pray
for
pardon
of
our
sinnes
,
we
require
not
only
the
fault
to
be
pardoned
,
but
the
whole
punishment
;
and
when
debt
is
pardoned
,
it
is
absurd
to
thinke
that
the
least
paiment
should
remaine
.
Lordes
praier
that
a
man
in
this
life
may
fulfill
the
lawe
.
Whereas
in
this
place
euery
seruant
of
God
is
taught
to
aske
daylie
pardon
for
the
breach
of
the
lawe
:
answere
is
made
,
that
our
daylie
sinnes
are
veniall
,
and
not
against
the
lawe
,
though
besides
the
lawe
:
but
this
which
they
say
,
is
against
this
petition
:
for
a
debt
that
commeth
by
forfeiture
,
is
against
the
band
or
obligation
.
Nowe
euery
sinne
is
a
debt
causing
the
forfeiture
of
punishment
,
and
therefore
is
not
beside
,
but
against
the
lawe
.
In
this
clause
it
is
taken
for
graunted
,
that
we
may
certainely
knowe
that
we
repent
and
beleeue
,
and
are
reconciled
by
God
;
which
all
In
the
last
wordes
we
pray
not
that
God
should
free
vs
from
temptation
,
for
it
is
otherwhiles
good
to
be
tempted
:
but
that
we
be
not

of
Satan
,

held
captiue
of
the

:
for
here
to
be
led

,
and
to
be

are
opposed
.
Nowe
hence
I
gather
,
that
he
who
is
the
child
of
God
truly
justified
and
sanctified
,
shall
neuer
fall
wholy
and
finally
from

on

that

might
