¶
A
briefe
and
necessarie
Catechisme
,
concerning
the
principall
points
of
our
Christian
Religion
.
Question
.
WHereas
all
men
desire
to
bee
blessed
,
and
most
men
are
deceiued
in
seeking
that
blessednesse
,
tell
me
,
which
is
the
true
way
thereto
?
Aunswere
.
To
know
God
to
be
my
Father
in
Iesus
Christ
,
and
therefore
to
serue
him
according
to
his
will
,
and
to
set
foorth
his
glorie
,
beleeuing
that
I
shall
want
nothing
,
that
is
good
for
me
in
this
life
,
and
that
I
shall
enioy
euerlasting
blessednes
in
the
world
to
come
.
How
know
you
this
?
By
the
working
of
the
holy
ghost
,
and
by
the
meanes
of
his
word
.
What
call
you
his
Word
?
The
reuealed
will
of
GOD
,
set
foorth
vnto
vs
in
the
holy
Scriptures
.
Which
doe
you
call
the
holy
scriptures
?
The
bookes
of
the
olde
and
newe
Testament
,
commonly
called
Canonicall
.
Are
all
things
that
are
necessarie
for
vs
to
know
,
contained
in
them
?
Yea
:
for
GOD
beeing
full
of
all
wisdome
,
and
goodnes
,
would
leaue
out
nothing
,
that
was
requisite
for
vs
to
know
.
Is
it
lawfull
to
adde
to
,
or
take
anie
thing
there-from
?
No
:
for
GOD
hath
flatly
forbidden
it
,
and
hath
pronounced
grieuous
curses
vppon
those
that
doe
so
.
Why
is
it
so
grieuous
a
sin
?
Because
it
is
a
great
sin
to
alter
the
last
will
of
a
mortall
man
,
therefore
much
more
to
change
the
last
Testament
of
eternall
God
.
Why
is
it
requisite
that
the
will
of
God
should
be
set
forth
vnto
vs
?
That
wee
might
haue
pure
rules
of
his
worship
,
and
sure
grounds
of
our
saluation
.
Is
it
not
lawfull
to
repose
any
part
of
Gods
worship
,
or
our
saluation
,
in
the
doctrines
and
dooings
of
men
?
No
:
for
all
men
by
nature
are
liars
,
and
defiled
with
sinne
:
wherof
it
followeth
,
that
all
mens
doctrines
and
dooings
,
are
mingled
with
lies
and
corruptions
.
How
far
are
we
bound
to
their
doctrine
and
dooings
.
So
farre
forth
as
they
are
agreeable
to
Gods
word
.
May
all
reade
the
Scriptures
?
Yea
:
all
that
be
of
age
,
able
to
discerne
betweene
good
&
euill
,
ought
to
increase
in
knowledge
,
for
their
furtherance
in
saluation
,
as
they
doe
in
yeeres
.
Why
must
all
such
reade
the
Scriptures
?
1.
Because
euerie
one
must
be
able
to
proue
and
try
himselfe
,
whether
he
be
in
the
faith
or
no.
2.
Because
euerie
one
must
be
able
to
prooue
and
examine
mens
doctrines
and
dooings
by
the
Scriptures
,
that
they
be
not
thereby
in
their
saluation
deceiued
.
3.
Because
euerie
one
must
be
able
,
as
his
calling
requireth
,
to
teach
,
admonish
,
exhort
,
and
comfort
one
another
.
4.
Because
euerie
one
must
be
able
to
make
an
account
of
the
faith
&
hope
that
is
in
him
.
But
what
if
men
cannot
reade
?
Then
they
must
vse
the
helpe
of
others
that
can
.
Is
it
enough
to
read
the
Scriptures
priuately
,
or
with
others
?
No
:
for
God
hath
also
commaunded
to
heare
them
read
publiquely
in
the
Church
.
And
is
that
enough
?
No
:
for
he
also
hath
ordained
preaching
.
Why
must
preaching
be
ioyned
with
reading
?
Because
it
is
the
most
principall
and
proper
meanes
to
beget
faith
in
vs
.
Why
must
faith
be
mixed
with
the
word
read
and
preached
?
Because
otherwise
the
Word
profiteth
vs
nothing
.
How
many
things
are
requisite
to
be
in
euery
one
that
wil
come
to
heare
the
word
read
and
preached
?
Amongst
other
,
foure
are
necessarie
:
1.
A
trembling
feare
of
the
Maiestie
of
God
.
2.
An
assured
faith
in
Christ
.
3.
An
earnest
endeuor
to
frame
our
liues
therafter
.
4.
To
pray
for
the
holy
Ghost
to
be
giuen
vs
,
to
enlighten
our
mindes
,
and
write
all
these
things
in
our
harts
.
Which
be
the
principall
parts
of
Gods
word
?
The
Law
and
the
Gospell
.
What
call
you
the
Law
?
It
is
that
part
of
the
word
,
that
commandeth
all
good
,
and
forbiddeth
all
euill
.
What
if
we
could
keepe
the
Law
?
Then
we
should
be
blessed
.
What
if
we
breake
the
Law
?
Then
are
we
subiect
to
the
curse
of
God
,
and
so
to
death
and
damnation
.
What
call
you
the
Gospell
?
It
is
that
part
of
the
word
,
which
containeth
the
free
promises
of
God
,
made
vnto
vs
in
Iesus
Christ
,
without
any
respect
of
our
deseruings
.
What
doth
it
worke
in
vs
?
A
true
and
liuely
fayth
in
Iesus
Christ
,
whereby
we
lay
hold
of
the
free
remission
of
our
sinnes
in
him
,
and
come
by
true
repentance
of
them
.
What
must
wee
learne
by
the
whole
word
of
God
.
Two
things
:
First
,
to
make
a
right
and
sounde
entrance
into
our
saluation
.
Secondlie
,
how
to
increase
and
continue
the
same
vnto
the
end
.
What
is
required
for
our
right
&
sound
entrance
to
our
saluation
.
Thrée
things
:
First
,
to
know
and
be
perswaded
of
the
greatnes
of
my
sinnes
,
and
the
miserie
due
to
the
same
.
Secondly
,
to
know
howe
wee
may
be
deliuered
from
them
.
Thirdly
,
to
knowe
what
thanks
we
owe
to
the
Lord
,
for
our
deliuerance
.
How
shall
wee
come
to
aright
fight
of
our
sinnes
,
&
a
sound
perswasion
of
them
.
By
the
Spirit
of
GOD
,
leading
vs
to
the
true
vnderstanding
of
the
Law
,
and
a
due
examination
of
our selues
thereby
.
Where
is
the
Law
set
downe
?
It
is
written
in
many
places
of
the
scripture
,
but
the
summe
thereof
is
contained
in
the
ten
commaundements
.
Rehearse
them
.
I
am
the
Lord
thy
God
,
thou
shalt
haue
no
other
Gods
but
me
.
&c.
How
are
they
deuided
?
Into
two
principall
heads
or
Tables
.
What
doth
the
first
Table
teach
vs
?
Our
duetie
towards
GOD
,
and
is
contained
in
the
foure
first
Commaundements
.
What
learne
we
by
the
second
Table
?
Our
dutie
towards
our
neighbour
,
and
is
contained
in
the
latter
sixe
Commandements
.
Why
are
the
duties
towards
GOD
set
downe
,
before
our
duties
towards
our
neighbour
?
Because
the
loue
of
GOD
,
is
the
ground
of
the
loue
of
our
neighbor
,
wherof
it
followeth
,
that
none
can
rightly
loue
his
neighbour
,
except
hee
first
loue
GOD
.
Why
are
the
duties
towards
our
neighbour
,
ioyned
to
our
dutie
towards
God
?
Because
the
loue
of
our
neighbour
,
is
the
proofe
and
triall
of
our
loue
towards
God
.
Whence
it
followeth
againe
,
that
none
can
loue
God
aright
,
except
he
also
loue
his
neighbour
.
Why
are
the
Commaundements
set
downe
in
tenne
parts
,
and
not
in
generall
.
Because
God
is
not
pleased
with
dooing
our
duties
in
generall
,
or
in
some
part
,
but
hee
will
be
wholy
serued
in
all
and
euerie
one
of
his
Commandements
.
Why
are
they
set
downe
singulerly
,
or
to
euery
one
?
Because
euerie
one
must
doe
his
owne
duetie
,
though
none
goe
before
him
:
whence
it
followeth
,
That
euerie
one
must
beare
his
owne
burden
,
and
none
shall
haue
excuse
by
others
example
.
Are
there
not
some
rules
,
which
serue
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
euery
one
of
the
Commaundements
.
Yes
:
there
are
foure
which
haue
especiall
vses
.
1.
In
euery
commaundement
where
euill
is
forbidden
,
the
contrarie
good
is
commaunded
:
and
where
any
good
is
commaunded
,
the
contrarie
euill
is
forbidden
.
2.
In
euery
commaundement
,
manie
more
euils
are
forbidden
,
&
many
more
good
things
commaunded
,
then
in
worde
are
expressed
.
3.
God
is
a
Spirit
,
and
therefore
his
commaundements
,
require
a
spirituall
obedience
.
4.
In
euery
Commaundement
where
euill
is
forbidden
,
there
the
occasions
of
euill
are
also
forbidden
,
and
where
good
is
commaunded
,
there
also
the
occasions
of
good
are
commaunded
.
What
is
the
first
Commaundement
?
Thou
shalt
haue
no
other
Gods
but
me
.
What
euill
is
heere
generally
forbidden
?
Euen
that
which
the
words
do
import
.
What
good
is
commaunded
.
To
haue
God
my
onely
God
,
and
to
be
alwaies
in
his
presence
.
What
is
it
to
haue
God
to
be
our
only
God
.
To
giue
him
all
those
things
which
be
proper
and
peculiar
to
his
maiestie
.
Which
be
those
,
that
properly
concerne
God
,
and
therefore
be
the
especiall
things
commaunded
.
The
summe
of
them
are
these
:
I
am
bound
by
this
Commaundement
to
bel●●ue
in
God
,
to
loue
,
feare
,
and
obey
him
,
to
praise
him
,
and
pray
vnto
him
.
After
what
sort
must
you
performe
these
duties
.
With
my
whole
mind
,
and
vnderstanding
,
with
my
whole
hart
&
strength
.
Which
be
the
peculiar
things
forbidden
.
To
faile
,
in
giuing
to
God
any
of
these
or
the
like
good
things
in
any
part
or
respect
.
What
else
is
particularly
forbidden
.
To
giue
any
of
these
fore-named
things
,
to
any
creature
or
any
other
thing
whatsoeuer
,
whereby
our
hart
may
be
in
any
sort
withdrawen
from
God
.
What
be
the
occasions
of
breaking
this
Commaundement
.
1.
The
vaine
desire
of
pleasures
,
riches
,
and
glory
of
this
world
.
2
A
negligent
and
carelesse
vse
of
the
meanes
to
serue
God
.
Are
not
the
contrarie
good
things
to
these
Commaunded
.
1
Yes
:
As
first
a
hart
contented
with
any
estate
,
and
vsing
the
things
of
this
world
,
as
if

A

inuentions

Chiefely
all
the
corruptions
,
in
the
substance
of
doctrine
,
Prayer
,
Sacraments
,
and
discipline
of
the
Church
.
What
occasions
of
euils
be
forbidden
.
There
be

we
must
necessarily
auoid
,
vnlesse
we
will
fall
into
superstition
and
idolatrie
:

All

.
Rehearse
the
ninth
Commandement
.
Thou
shalt
not
beare
false
witnes
,
&c.
What
is
heere
forbidden
.
Not
onely
to
beare
false
witnes
our selues
,
but
also
to
be
partakers
with
false
witnes
bearers
.
How
may
waies
is
false
witnes
borne
.
Two
:
Outwardly
and
inwardly
.
Against
whom
doe
men
beare
false
witnes
outwardly
?
Against
others
,
or
themselues
,
against
others
,
two
waies
.
1
In
iudgement
,
when
they
giue
or
receiue
false
information
,
pronounce
or
write
false
sentence
.
2
Out
of
iudgement
,
and
that
is
also
two
waies
.
1
When
any
rayse
vp
,
spread
abroad
,
or
listen
after
false
reports
.
2
When
any
report
the
falts
of
others
,
without
care
of
their
credit
,
or
when
with
flattering
hearts
they
commend
any
man
.
How
doe
men
beare
false
witnes
against
themselues
.
Eyther
when
they
denie
that
to
be
in
them
,
which
is
indeed
,
or
take
that
vpon
them
which
is
not
,
good
or
euill
.
What
be
the
occasions
of
false
witnes
.
The
fleshly
hatred
of
our
enemies
,
or
carnal
loue
of
our selues
,
or
our
friends
,
to
get
the
things
we
loue
,
&
auoid
that
we
hate
.
How
do
men
beare
false
witnes
inwardly
.
Eyther
in
suspition
without
a
iust
cause
,
or
in
iudging
falsly
or
hardly
of
any
man
.
How
are
we
partakers
with
false
witnes
bearers
?
If
we
eyther
commaund
or
counsaile
it
to
be
done
,
or
if
we
mislike
it
not
,
staying
it
if
we
can
.
What
is
heere
commaunded
.
1
In
iudgement
to
further
righteous
causes
,
so
far
forth
as
my
calling
requires
2
To
speake
the
truth
from
my
heart
to
euery
man
,
so
much
as
is
requisite
for
him
to
know
.
3
To
be
as
carefull
of
the
credit
of
my
neighbour
,
as
the
nature
of
his
offences
will
permit
.
Rehearse
the
tenth
Commaundement
.
Thou
shalt
not
couet
.
&c.
Are
all
motions
and
desires
euill
.
No
:
For
the
desire
and
appetite
of
meat
,
drinke
,
and
sleepe
,
are
naturall
,
and
in
their
owne
nature
good
,
vnlesse
through
our
corruption
they
become
sinfull
.
What
motions
then
be
euill
.
Those
which
are
eyther
against
God
,
or
our
neighbours
.
Are
all
such
forbidden
in
this
Command
.
No
:
For
those
which
are
against
God
are
forbidden
in
the
first
commaundement
,
those
therefore
are
forbidden
heere
which
are
against
our
neighbour
.
Seeing
in
the
former
commaundement
,
we
are
forbidden
to
hurt
our
neighbour
in
hart
,
how
doth
this
differ
from
the
former
.
There
,
the
setled
desires
of
the
hart
are
forbidden
,
but
here
are
forbidden
those
only
,
wherto
the
hart
doth
not
consent
.
Whence
doe
these
motions
arise
.
Eyther
of
our
owne
corruption
,
or
else
are
offered
by
Sathan
,
or
else
by
men
.
Are
all
these
sinnes
in
vs
.
All
that
arise
of
our
own
corruption
,
are
,
but
those
which
the
deuill
or
men
offer
vnto
vs
,
are
not
,
vnlesse
wee
be
infected
with
them
.
How
are
we
infected
by
them
.
When
we
take
pleasure
in
them
,
when
we
be
intangled
by
them
,
or
when
wee
suffer
them
to
tary
in
our
minds
,
although
our
harts
do
not
giue
consent
.
How
is
this
commaundement
broken
.
1
When
euill
motions
arise
of
corruption
,
moouing
vs
to
hurt
our
neighbour
.
2
When
we
be
infected
with
those
euil
motions
,
which
sathan
or
euill
men
put
into
our
minds
.
3
When
we
doe
not
with
like
affection
desire
the
good
of
our
neighbour
as
we
doe
our
owne
.
What
is
commaunded
.
To
loue
my
neighbour
as
my selfe
.
Who
is
your
neighbour
.
Euerie
one
that
is
neere
me
,
and
standeth
in
need
of
my
helpe
,
and
it
lyeth
me
t●●elpe
him
,
though
he
be
a
stranger
,
or
my
foe
.
Why
iudge
you
so
.
Because
of
the
image
of
God
in
him
,
and
that
he
is
mine
owne
flesh
in
respect
of
our
first
parents
.
Doth
the
law
of
God
prescribe
the
perfect
rule
of
righteousnes
?
Yea
:
For
there
is
no
good
thing
in
déed
,
word
,
or
thought
,
but
it
is
heer
commanded
&
likewise
no
euil
but
heer●it
is
forbidden
.
Can
euerie
one
keepe
the
Lawe
perfectly
.
They
that
are
not
borne
againe
of
God
,
cannot
keep
it
at
all
in
any
point
,
as
pleasing
God
therby
in
respect
of
themselues
.
For
except
he
be
borne
againe
of
God
,
he
cannot
sée
the
kingdome
of
God
,
nor
enter
therein
:
much
lesse
keepe
the
commaundements
of
God
:
Moreouer
all
men
by
nature
,
being
borne
and
conceiued
in
sinne
,
are
not
onely
vtterly
insufficient
to
any
good
thing
,
but
also
disposed
and
ready
to
all
sin
&
wickednes
.
What
punishment
is
due
to
the
breakers
of
Gods
law
.
In
this
life
the
curse
of
God
and
death
,
with
manifold
miseries
of
bodie
&
soule
,
or
both
.
And
where
this
curse
is
not
taken
away
,
euerlasting
death
and
damnation
of
bodie
and
soule
in
hell
.
But
God
is
mercifull
.
Yea
and
God
is
iust
&
righteous
,
which
righteousnes
must
fully
be
discharged
,
or
else
we
cannot
be
pertakers
of
his
mercy
.
And
cannot
we
by
ourselues
make
satisfaction
for
our
sinnes
?
No
:
But
rather
from
day
to
day
increase
our
debt
.
But
doth
not
God
wrong
to
man
,
to
require
of
him
that
which
he
is
not
able
to
performe
.
No
:
For
God
made
man
so
that
he
might
haue
performed
it
,
but
he
by
his
sinne
,
spoyled
himself
and
his
posteritie
of
those
godly
gifts
.
Can
any
creature
in
heauen
or
earth
,
which
is
onely
a
creature
,
satisfie
his
righteousnes
.
None
at
all
,
for
1
God
will
not
punish
that
in
another
creature
,
which
is
due
to
be
paid
by
man
.
2
None
that
is
onely
a
creature
can
abide
the
wrath
of
God
against
sinne
,
and
deliuer
other
from
the
same
.
What
manner
of
man
is
to
be
sought
out
to
be
our
Mediator
and
deliuerer
.
Hée
which
is
indeed
a
verie
right
man
,
and
perfectly
righteous
,
&
more
mighty
then
all
creatures
beside
:
that
is
,
hee
which
also
is
God
.
Why
must
he
be
man
,
and
perfectly
righteous
.
Because
the
righteousnes
of
God
requireth
,
that
the
same
nature
which
had
sinned
,
should
pray
and
make
amendes
for
sinne
.
Why
must
he
be
God
withall
.
That
by
his
godly
power
,
he
may
abide
the
burthen
of
Gods
wrath
in
his
flesh
,
and
may
get
againe
,
and
restore
to
vs
the
righteousnes
and
life
which
we
in
Adam
lost
.
Who
is
that
Mediatour
which
is
verie
God
,
and
very
man
,
and
perfectly
righteous
withall
.
Our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
who
is
made
vnto
vs
,
wisedome
,
righteousnes
,
sanctification
,
and
redemption
.
What
is
the
vse
of
all
which
hath
hitherto
beene
taught
.
To
bring
vs
to
a
sound
perswasion
and
féeling
of
our
sinnes
,
because
they
haue
deserued
so
grieuous
punishment
,
as
eyther
the
death
of
the
Sonne
of
God
,
or
hell
fire
.
Are
they
deliuered
from
the
curse
of
the
Law
,
and
made
partakers
of
Christs
merits
,
that
are
truly
humbled
.
Yea
:
For
heauen
and
earth
shal
passe
,
but
one
tote
or
tittle
of
Gods
lawe
shall
not
faile
,
till
all
be
fulfilled
.
How
is
the
truth
of
Gods
law
fulfilled
.
Both
in
Gods
children
and
in
the
wicked
.
In
them
,
because
it
bringeth
them
to
be
truly
humbled
in
themselues
for
their
sinnes
,
and
then
sendeth
them
to
Christ
,
who
doth
quite
fulfil
it
.
In
these
,
because
it
declareth
to
them
their
iust
confusion
,
when
to
the
ende
they
eyther
perseuere
,
or
dispaire
.
Is
sorrow
for
sinne
sufficient
to
bring
vs
to
saluation
.
No
:
But
wée
must
also
haue
a
true
faith
,
which
is
a
true
perswasion
of
the
mereies
of
God
,
merited
by
our
Sauiour
Iesus
Christ
.
How
shall
we
attaine
to
this
true
faith
.
By
the
spirit
of
God
,
giuing
vs
the
true
vnderstanding
and
perswasion
of
the
Gopell
.
Where
is
the
Gospell
declared
vnto
vs
.
It
is
generally
declared
vnto
vs
in
the
holy
Scriptures
,
but
the
Church
of
God
hath
gathered
out
of
them
a
certaine
sum
thereof
,
which
is
the
articles
of
our
Christian
faith
,
commonly
called
the
Creed
.
Rehearse
those
articles
.
I
beleeue
in
God
the
Father
,
almightie
,
&c.
How
many
parts
are
ther
in
these
articles
.
There
are
two
.
1
Touching
our
faith
in
God
.
2
Of
our
faith
concerning
the
Church
.
What
beleeue
you
in
the
first
part
.
I
declare
,
that
I
beléeue
in
God
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
holy
Ghost
.
Why
say
you
I
beleeue
in
God
,
and
not
in
Gods
?
For
that
there
is
but
one
onely
true
God
,
vpon
whom
my
faith
is
wholy
staied
.
If
there
be
but
one
God
,
why
name
you
three
,
the
father
,
the
son
,
&
the
holy
ghost
.
Because
God
hath
so
opened
himselfe
in
his
word
,
that
these
thrée
sundry
persons
,
are
but
one
true
&
euerlasting
God
.
Why
say
you
I
beleeue
in
God
,
and
not
rather
,
that
there
is
a
God
.
By
saying
I
beléeue
in
God
,
I
declare
that
I
put
my
whole
trust
&
assurance
in
God
,
whereas
the
deuils
&
wicked
men
,
beleeuing
that
there
is
a
God
,
yet
cannot
put
their
whole
trust
&
confidence
in
him
.
why
say
you
I
beleeue
,
&
not
we
beleeue
Because
I
must
be
saued
by
my
owne
faith
,
and
not
by
the
faith
of
another
.
Why
call
you
God
Father
?
Because
he
is
the
Creator
of
heauen
,
and
earth
,
&
so
the
father
of
all
creatures
.
Why
say
you
Creator
,
and
not
Maker
of
heauen
,
&c.
Because
he
created
all
things
of
nothing
,
but
to
make
,
is
to
make
somthing
of
that
,
which
was
before
.
Why
call
you
him
Almightie
.
Because
as
he
created
all
things
of
nothing
,
so
he
doth
preserue
&
guid
them
by
his
mighty
power
,
wisdom
,
iustice
,
&
mercy
.
What
comfort
hence
do
we
receiue
.
1
That
al
the
good
angels
of
god
shal
watch
ouer
me
,
&
pitch
their
tents
about
me
.
2
That
neither
the
deuil
nor
men
,
shal
haue
any
power
to
hurt
me
:
but
when
,
and
so
farre
as
God
will
permit
them
.
3
That
I
shal
haue
a
profitable
&
conuenient
vse
of
all
Gods
creatures
.
4
Though
I
suffer
hurt
by
sathan
,
or
want
of
his
creatures
,
yet
all
this
shall
turne
to
my
good
in
the
end
.
How
can
this
be
.
Because
God
can
doe
it
as
an
almightie
God
,
and
will
doe
it
,
as
a
most
mercifull
and
louing
father
.
True
it
is
,
that
by
creation
we
had
this
benefit
,
but
we
haue
lost
it
,
and
are
become
the
children
of
wrath
,
how
then
can
God
become
our
father
,
and
shew
vs
,
thys
mercy
.
Hee
is
become
my
father
by
faith
in
Christ
,
the
sonne
of
God
,
What
beleeue
you
of
GOD
the
Sonne
.
First
,
that
he
is
able
to
worke
my
saluation
.
2.
That
he
hath
wrought
it
indeed
after
the
manner
that
is
heere
set
downe
.
How
can
you
beleeue
that
he
is
able
to
worke
your
saluation
.
I
beléeue
it
,
because
he
is
both
God
and
man
,
and
hath
receiued
an
office
from
God
the
Father
to
worke
my
saluation
.
By
what
words
in
the
Creed
do
you
beleeue
that
Christ
is
God
.
By
these
:
(
His
onely
sonne
,
)
I
declare
that
I
beleeue
in
Christ
the
onely
begotten
Sonne
of
God
,
begotten
of
his
Father
before
all
worlds
:
God
of
God
:
light
of
light
:
verie
God
of
verie
God
:
begotten
nor
made
:
being
of
one
substance
of
the
father
,
by
whom
all
things
were
made
.
Why
call
you
him
the
onely
begotten
Sonne
of
God
.
Because
he
is
the
alone
Sonne
of
God
by
nature
.
How
can
this
be
,
seeing
the
Angels
,
Adam
,
and
we
also
,
be
the
Sonnes
of
God
.
Adam
was
the
sonne
of
God
by
creation
,
which
state
we
haue
lost
,
but
now
we
be
the
sonnes
of
GOD
by
regeneration
.
Why
was
it
requisite
hee
should
be
God
.
Because
nothing
but
God
was
able
to
abide
,
and
ouercome
the
wrath
of
God
,
and
the
punishment
due
vnto
sinne
.
What
comfort
haue
you
by
this
,
that
Christ
is
God
.
Héereby
I
am
assured
that
he
is
able
to
saue
me
,
by
reconciling
me
to
the
Father
,
that
he
may
make
me
the
child
of
God
.
By
what
words
in
the
Creede
doe
you
shew
,
that
you
beleeue
that
Christ
is
man
.
By
these
words
(
Borne
of
the
Virgine
Mary
)
where
I
shew
that
he
was
borne
,
as
other
men
bee
,
and
subiect
to
all
infirmities
of
man
,
sinne
onely
excepted
.
Why
are
these
words
added
?
Conceiued
by
the
holy
Ghost
?
To
shew
that
Christ
by
the
holy
Ghost
was
conceiued
in
the
womb
of
the
virgin
Mary
,
she
continuing
still
a
pure
virgin
,
and
that
he
was
borne
holy
and
without
sinne
,
whereto
all
other
by
nature
are
subiect
.
Was
it
needfull
that
Christ
should
be
without
sinne
.
Yea
:
For
otherwise
the
Godhead
and
manhood
could
not
haue
him
ioyned
together
:
besides
if
he
had
béene
a
sinner
hee
could
not
haue
satisfied
for
others
sinnes
.
Why
was
it
requisite
that
he
should
be
man
?
Because
the
righteousnes
of
God
requireth
that
the
same
nature
which
had
sinned
,
should
also
pay
and
make
amends
for
sinne
.
What
confort
is
in
this
,
that
Christ
is
man
?
I
am
thereby
assured
that
Christ
is
fit
to
suffer
the
punishment
of
my
sinne
,
and
beeing
man
himselfe
,
will
be
more
pittifull
and
mercifull
to
me
.
what
fruit
haue
you
by
his
holy
conception
?
I
am
assured
,
that
his
holy
conception
hath
couered
the
corruption
of
my
nature
,
and
that
his
pure
conception
shall
be
imputed
vnto
mee
.
what
comfort
haue
you
by
this
,
that
he
is
both
God
and
man
?
That
hee
is
able
to
finish
most
fully
my
saluation
,
seeing
as
hee
is
man
,
hee
is
fit
to
suffer
for
sinnes
:
as
hee
is
GOD
,
hee
is
able
to
beare
the
punishment
of
sinne
,
and
to
ouercome
in
suffering
,
and
therefore
to
be
called
Iesus
.
what
doth
Iesus
signifie
?
It
signifieth
a
Sauiour
:
which
name
agreeth
to
Christ
,
because
hee
saueth
mee
from
all
my
sinnes
,
&
because
there
is
no
other
meanes
,
whereby
I
may
in
part
or
whole
,
bee
deliuered
from
them
.
what
comfort
haue
you
by
this
?
Euen
the
same
which
I
said
,
and
the
rather
,
because
GOD
from
heauen
gaue
him
this
name
,
and
the
Church
on
earth
hath
subscribed
thereunto
,
What
signifieth
Christ
.
Annoynted
,
for
he
was
annoynted
to
be
a
Prophet
,
a
Priest
,
and
a
King
,
for
all
his
people
,
and
so
for
mee
.
How
gather
you
this
?
By
the
annoynting
Prophets
,
Priests
,
and
Kinges
,
which
were
figures
of
him
.
Was
Christ
annoynted
with
materiall
oyle
as
they
were
.
No
:
But
with
all
gifts
of
the
Spirit
,
without
measure
.
Why
call
you
him
Prophet
?
Because
he
was
,
is
,
and
euer
shal
be
the
onely
teacher
of
the
Church
.
What
were
then
the
Prophets
and
Apostles
.
They
were
his
disciples
and
seruants
,
speaking
onely
by
his
spirit
.
What
comfort
haue
we
by
this
.
Héereby
I
am
assured
that
he
will
lead
me
into
all
truth
,
needful
for
Gods
glory
and
my
saluation
.
Why
call
you
him
Priest.
Because
offering
vp
himselfe
a
sacrifice
once
for
all
,
he
hath
satisfied
for
all
my
sinnes
,
and
maketh
continuall
intercession
to
the
father
for
me
.
What
comfort
doe
wee
reape
by
his
Priesthood
.
That
,
I
am
sure
,
that
he
is
my
Mediatour
,
and
that
I
am
made
a
Priest.
How
is
that
.
By
him
I
haue
fréedome
and
boldnes
to
draw
néere
,
and
offer
vp
my selfe
,
and
all
that
I
haue
to
God
the
Father
.
Why
call
you
him
King.
Because
he
doth
guide
and
gouerne
me
to
euerlasting
life
by
his
word
and
spirit
.
What
comfort
haue
you
by
this
.
Héereby
I
am
assured
,
that
by
his
kingly
power
,
I
shall
finally
ouercome
the
flesh
,
the
World
,
Death
,
and
Hell.
Why
call
you
him
Lord.
For
that
,
not
with
gold
or
siluer
,
but
with
his
precious
blood
,
he
hath
purchased
▪
vs
to
be
a
peculier
people
to
himselfe
.
What
comfort
haue
you
thereby
▪
Séeing
hée
hath
paid
so
precious
a
price
for
me
;
that
he
will
not
▪
suffer
me
to
perish
.
What
is
the
second
thing
wherein
thy
faith
in
Christ
consisteth
.
I
beleeue
,
that
he
hath
wrought
my
saluation
in
deed
,
after
that
manner
that
is
set
downe
in
the
Creed
▪
How
is
that
?
1
First
by
his
most
painefull
sufferings
for
sinne
.
2
By
his
most
glorious
victorie
and
triumph
ouer
sinne
.
In
what
words
are
his
paineful
suffrings
expressed
.
In
these
.
Suffered
vnder
Pontius
▪
Pilate
,
was
crucified
,
dead
,
and
buried
,
&c.
what
is
the
generall
meaning
of
these
words
?
Therein
I
shew
my selfe
to
beléeue
that
Christ
indured
most
grieuo●s
torments
both
of
bodie
and
soule
.
what
comfort
haue
you
ny
this
?
I
am
fréed
from
all
those
punishments
of
bodie
and
soule
which
my
sins
haue
▪
deserued
.
How
then
commeth
it
to
passe
that
we
are
so
often
afflicted
with
grieuous
torments
of
bodie
and
soule
.
Our
sufferings
are
not
by
desert
any
satisfaction
for
our
sinnes
in
any
part
,
but
being
sanctified
in
the
most
holy
sufferings
of
Christ
,
they
are
medicines
against
sinne
.
why
are
those
words
set
downe
,
Suffered
vnder
Pontius
Pilate
.
Not
onely
for
the
truth
of
the
story
,
but
also
to
teach
,
that
he
appeared
willingly
,
and
of
his
owne
accord
,
before
an
earthly
Iudge
,
of
whom
he
was
pronounced
innocent
,
&
yet
by
the
same
man
condemned
.
what
comfort
haue
you
hereof
?
That
my
Sauiour
thus
suffering
not
for
his
owne
sinnes
,
but
wholy
for
mine
and
other
mens
,
vnder
an
earthly
Iudge
,
I
shall
be
discharged
by
the
heauenly
Iudge
.
what
is
meant
by
this
that
he
was
crucified
.
That
he
died
not
only
a
common
death
,
but
such
an
one
as
was
accursed
both
of
God
and
man
.
what
comfort
haue
you
by
this
?
This
:
That
I
am
deliuered
from
the
curse
which
I
haue
deserued
by
the
breath
of
the
law
,
and
shall
obtaine
the
blessing
▪
due
vnto
him
▪
for
keeping
the
same
▪
what
meaneth
this
,
that
he
died
?
That
his
soule
was
separated
from
his
bodie
,
so
that
he
died
a
corporall
death
.
Why
was
it
requisite
that
he
should
die
?
Because
by
sinne
came
death
into
the
world
,
so
that
the
iustice
of
God
could
not
be
satisfied
for
our
sinnes
,
vnlesse
death
had
béene
ioyned
with
his
suffrings
.
Why
is
it
further
sayd
,
that
He
was
buried
.
To
assure
vs
more
truly
that
he
was
surely
dead
.
What
comfort
haue
you
by
his
death
and
buriall
.
1
This
is
my
first
comfort
,
that
my
sinnes
are
fréely
discharged
in
his
death
,
and
so
buried
,
that
they
shall
neuer
come
in
remembrance
.
2
Besides
,
my
comfort
is
the
more
,
because
by
the
virtue
of
his
death
and
buriall
,
sinne
shall
be
killed
in
mée
,
and
buried
,
so
that
henceforth
it
shall
haue
no
power
to
raigne
in
me
.
3
I
néede
not
feare
death
,
séeing
that
sinne
,
which
is
the
sting
of
death
,
is
taken
away
by
the
death
of
Christ
,
and
that
death
is
now
made
to
me
an
entrance
into
life
.
What
meanes
this
,
He
descended
into
hell
.
That
my
Sauiour
Christ
did
not
onely
suffer
in
bodie
,
but
also
in
soule
did
abide
most
miserable
vexations
,
griefes
,
and
painefull
troubles
,
and
feare
of
minde
,
into
which
,
both
before
,
and
most
of
all
when
he
hanged
vpon
the
crosse
,
he
was
cast
.
What
comfort
haue
you
heereby
.
That
in
all
my
grieuous
temptations
and
assaults
,
I
may
stay
and
make
sure
my selfe
by
this
,
that
Christ
hath
deliuered
me
from
the
sorrowfull
paines
and
griefes
of
hel
.
What
beleeuest
thou
in
this
article
,
He
rose
againe
.
I
beleeue
,
that
Christ
which
in
his
Wherin
doth
this
article
minister
comfort
vnto
thee
.
1
In
thrée
things
.
1
His
resurrection
assureth
me
,
that
his
righteousnes
shall
be
imputed
to
me
for
my
perfect
iustification
.
2
Because
it
rayseth
me
vp
from
day
to
day
to
righteousnes
,
and
newnes
of
life
in
this
world
.
3
It
ministreth
vnto
me
a
comfortable
hope
,
that
I
shall
rise
againe
in
the
last
day
from
bodily
death
.
What
beleeuest
thou
in
this
article
,
He
ascended
into
heauen
?
I
beléeue
that
Christ
in
mans
nature
,
What
comfort
haue
you
thereby
?
1
I
am
comforted
in
this
,
that
Christ
2
I
am
comforted
by
his
intercession
to
the
father
for
me
.
What
fruit
haue
you
thereby
?
1
It
doth
reconcile
me
to
the
Father
,
for
those
sins
which
I
daily
commit
.
2
Being
reconciled
to
him
,
I
can
pray
to
God
with
boldnes
,
and
cal
him
father
.
What
meaneth
that
,
Hee
sitteth
at
the
right
hand
of
God
,
&c.
That
Christ
in
his
mans
nature
was
What
comfort
reape
you
heereby
?
1
Because
I
shall
receiue
from
him
2
By
his
power
all
mine
enemies
shal
be
subdued
and
troden
vnder
my
feet
.
What
beleeue
you
in
this
article
,
From
thence
he
shall
come
to
iudge
the
quicke
and
the
dead
.
That
Christ
shal
come
in
his
maiestie
,

1
I
am
comforted
in
my
greatest
miserie
,
2
I
am
sure
he
will
giue
sentence
on
Why
say
you
,
I
beleeue
in
the
holy
Ghost
.
Because
he
is
God
,
equal
with
the
Father
and
the
Sonne
.
Why
call
you
him
holy
.
Because
he
is
the
author
and
worker
of
all
holines
.
What
fruit
haue
you
by
this
?
1
He
doth
assure
me
,
that
I
am
that
child
of
god
,
by
making
me
cal
him
Abba
,
Father
.
2
He
assureth
me
,
that
by
the
death
and
resurrection
of
Christ
,
sinne
dieth
in
me
,
and
I
am
raised
vp
to
holines
of
life
.
3
He
leadeth
me
into
all
truth
,
needfull
to
Gods
glory
and
my
saluation
.
4
He
comforteth
me
in
all
troubles
,
and
in
death
assureth
me
of
a
better
life
in
this
same
bodie
and
soule
.
What
meaneth
this
article
,
I
beleeue
the
holy
Catholike
Church
.
That
there
is
a
Church
of
God
,
though
it
cannot
alwaies
be
seene
with
the
eyes
of
men
.
Why
call
you
the
Church
holy
.
For
that
,
although
in
this
life
in
it selfe
it
is
sinfull
,
yet
in
Christ
the
head
it
is
holy
,
and
in
the
life
to
come
,
shall
be
brought
to
the
true
perfection
of
holines
.
Why
doe
you
call
it
Catholike
.
Because
God
at
all
times
,
and
in
all
places
,
and
of
all
sorts
of
men
,
hath
an
holy
Church
.
What
meaneth
this
article
,
The
communion
of
Saints
.
That
the
whole
Church
communicate
with
Christ
,
&
euery
member
one
with
another
.
What
comfort
haue
you
by
this
.
1
I
am
comforted
,
for
that
I
am
iustified
by
that
faith
,
whereby
Adam
and
Abraham
were
iustified
:
which
is
tyed
to
no
time
nor
place
,
and
excludeth
no
person
.
2
Because
I
am
made
pertaker
of
Christ
,
and
all
his
merits
by
faith
,
and
all
the
blessings
of
the
Church
by
loue
.
What
beleeuest
thou
by
this
article
,
I
beleeue
the
forgiuenes
of
sinnes
.
That
God
for
Christs
sake
,
doth
fréely
forgiue
not
onely
my
sinnes
,
but
also
the
punishment
which
I
haue
thereby
deserued
.
why
say
you
,
I
beleeue
the
forgiuenes
of
sinnes
.
Because
no
reason
can
perswade
mee
,
but
the
holy
Ghost
must
worke
the
assurance
thereof
in
my
hart
onely
.
what
comfort
haue
you
thereby
.
1
Because
all
the
sinnes
I
daily
commit
shall
neuer
be
laid
to
my
charge
.
2
Because
the
weaknes
and
wants
of
all
my
duties
are
couered
and
supplied
in
Christ
.
3
For
that
God
will
heare
me
praying
for
other
,
that
they
may
haue
faith
to
féele
the
forgiuenes
of
sinnes
.
what
meane
you
by
this
article
,
The
resurrection
of
the
bodie
into
life
euerlasting
.
That
this
bodie
after
it
shall
be
dissolued
into
dust
,
shall
be
raised
vp
againe
at
the
last
day
,
and
my
soule
shall
liue
in
euerlasting
glory
.
What
comfort
reape
you
thereby
?
1
I
am
made
cheerefull
in
well
doing
,
séeing
my
labour
is
not
in
vaine
.
2
I
am
made
to
dispise
the
pleasures
and
glory
of
this
word
,
and
with
patience
to
suffer
all
the
troubles
of
this
life
.
3
It
comforteth
me
ouer
the
death
of
my
friends
,
and
maketh
me
to
be
chéerefull
in
death
,
knowing
I
shal
haue
a
part
in
the
resurrection
of
the
iust
.
What
fruit
haue
you
by
beleeuing
all
these
articles
.
The
drift
of
all
this
,
that
being
iustified
by
faith
,
I
am
made
righteous
before
God
.
Which
be
the
seuerall
fruits
?
1
I
am
at
peace
with
God
,
although
in
my selfe
,
for
my
outward
sins
,
which
I
daily
commit
,
and
my
inward
conception
which
remaineth
,
I
am
accused
.
2
I
get
strength
to
fight
against
my
outward
sinnes
,
to
subdue
my
outwarde
corruption
,
to
do
outward
good
works
,
and
to
delight
in
the
law
of
God
,
in
my
inner
man
.
3
I
haue
an
interest
in
all
Gods
creatures
,
so
that
the
vse
and
want
of
them
shal
turn
to
the
furtherance
of
my
saluation
.
4
I
am
assured
of
the
glorification
of
my
soule
and
bodie
in
the
heauens
,
because
I
am
made
an
heire
of
euerlasting
life
.
Why
is
this
giuen
wholy
&
only
to
faith
.
Not
because
faith
doth
deserue
it
,
but
because
the
merits
of
Christ
can
be
laid
hold
on
,
and
applied
to
my selfe
by
no
other
meanes
,
but
by
faith
alone
.
Cannot
good
works
in
some
part
iustisie
vs
.
No
:
For
righteousnes
which
is
able
to
stand
before
God
,
must
be
perfect
.
Are
not
our
workes
so
.
No
:
For
many
waies
we
sinne
all
,
besides
,
the
best
works
we
do
are
defiled
with
sinne
,
and
therefore
can
deserue
nothing
at
the
hand
of
God
.
why
then
doth
God
promise
a
reward
to
them
.
That
is
not
for
the
desert
of
works
,
but
of
Gods
grace
and
mercy
.
Then
this
doctrine
will
make
men
carelesse
for
well
doing
.
No
:
For
they
that
be
ingrafied
into
Christ
,
must
néeds
bring
forth
good
works
why
is
it
needful
they
should
doe
good
works
.
1
That
wee
may
by
them
shew
our selues
thankefull
to
God
for
all
his
benefits
.
2
That
we
be
assured
of
faith
and
election
by
good
works
.
3
That
by
them
we
may
ediffe
others
,
and
that
will
be
.
1.
By
incouraging
and
strengthening
those
that
are
good
.
2
By
winning
those
that
are
not
yet
come
to
God
.
3
By
stopping
the
mouthes
of
the
wicked
.
4
That
God
may
be
glorified
therby
.
Are
good
works
so
needful
that
we
cannot
be
saued
without
them
.
Yea
:
For
although
they
worke
not
our
saluation
,
in
any
part
,
yet
for
that
,
they
that
are
iustified
are
also
sanctified
,
they
that
doe
no
good
works
declare
they
are
neyther
iustified
nor
sanctified
,
and
therefore
cannot
be
saued
.
Then
they
must
much
more
be
condemned
which
commit
sinne
and
lie
in
it
.
Yea
:
For
such
are
not
onely
pronounced
accursed
by
the
law
,
but
also
the
Gospell
hath
denounced
that
they
shall
not
enter
into
the
kingdome
of
heauen
.
Can
euerie
one
doe
good
workes
.
No
:
None
but
such
as
are
borne
againe
,
that
is
,
that
they
haue
receiued
Christ
,
as
he
is
offered
to
vs
of
God
the
Father
,
to
be
our
wisedome
,
holines
,
righteousnes
and
redemption
.
who
then
doe
good
works
.
They
that
are
thus
borne
againe
,
and
carry
in
them
the
image
of
God
,
haue
repentance
wrought
in
them
,
from
whence
good
works
do
procéede
.
What
is
repentance
?
It
is
a
turning
of
our selues
to
God
,
whereby
we
crucifie
and
kill
the
corruption
of
our
nature
,
&
reforme
our selues
in
the
inner
man
according
to
Gods
will
.
What
is
it
to
crucifie
the
corruption
of
nature
.
It
is
truly
and
with
all
my
hart
to
be
sory
,
that
I
haue
offended
God
with
it
,
and
my
other
sinnes
,
and
euery
day
,
more
and
more
to
hate
it
,
and
them
,
and
flie
from
them
.
How
is
this
sorrow
wrought
.
Partly
by
the
threatnings
of
the
law
,
and
the
feare
of
Gods
iudgements
,
but
especially
increased
by
séeing
Christs
death
,
wherby
I
haue
power
to
hate
sinne
and
ll●aue
it
.
How
is
this
reformation
of
our selues
wrought
in
vs
.
Onely
by
the
promises
of
the
Gospell
,
whereby
we
feele
the
fruit
of
the
rising
againe
of
Christ
.
What
insueth
hereof
.
Héerby
we
are
raysed
vp
into
a
new
life
,
hauing
the
Law
written
in
our
hearts
,
and
so
reforme
our selues
.
Heereby
it
appeareth
that
none
can
repent
of
themselues
,
or
when
they
will
.
True
:
For
it
was
said
before
,
that
it
is
the
gift
of
God
,
giuen
vnto
them
that
are
borne
againe
.
By
this
also
it
is
euident
that
Gods
children
stand
in
need
of
repentance
so
long
as
they
liue
.
Yea
:
For
there
is
none
of
the
Saints
of
God
,
but
carrying
alwaies
this
corruption
about
them
,
sometime
fall
,
and
are
farre
from
that
perfection
of
godlines
which
the
Lord
requireth
.
Why
then
saith
our
Sauiour
Christ
,
that
the
Angels
of
God
reioyce
more
ouer
one
sinner
that
repenteth
,
then
ouer
99.
who
need
no
repentance
.
Our
Sauiour
speaketh
of
repentance
from
dead
works
,
and
grosse
sins
,
whereof
the
righteous
doe
not
stand
in
néed
,
and
yet
they
are
daily
to
repent
of
their
errours
and
infirmities
.
Seeing
it
was
said
before
,
that
good
works
proceed
from
repentance
,
what
properties
are
required
of
works
.
1
That
they
be
such
as
God
hath
commaunded
in
his
law
.
2
That
they
which
doe
them
,
be
ingrafted
into
Christ
,
and
doe
continue
in
him
.
What
say
you
then
of
their
good
works
which
are
not
in
Christ
.
They
doe
no
good
works
,
because
they
neyther
are
as
yet
members
of
Christ
,
neyther
do
they
offer
them
in
his
name
.
3
That
they
be
done
to
glorifie
God
,
and
assure
vs
of
saluation
.
Is
it
not
lawfull
to
seeke
our
owne
praise
or
merit
by
our
good
works
.
No
:
For
all
our
good
works
are
imperfect
,
and
saluation
is
onely
merited
by
the
death
of
Christ
.
We
haue
heard
that
the
Law
worketh
knowledge
of
our
sinnes
and
feeling
of
our
miserie
,
what
meanes
hath
God
ordained
to
worke
faith
in
vs
.
These
fiue
:
The
Gospell
,
Prayer
,
Sacraments
,
discipline
,
and
affliction
.
How
many
kinds
of
faith
be
there
.
1
Two
:
Generall
,
whereby
I
beléeue
God
to
be
true
in
all
his
words
.
2
Special
,
whereby
eyther
I
beléeue
God
to
be
iust
in
his
threatnings
,
and
so
am
made
penitent
,
or
else
whereby
I
beléeue
that
he
is
mercifull
in
his
promises
,
and
so
come
to
repentance
.
what
difference
is
there
betweene
penitence
and
repentance
.
Penitence
is
a
sorrow
for
sin
,
wrought
by
the
Law.
Repentance
is
a
remoouing
our selues
from
sinne
,
wrought
by
the
Gospell
.
Is
there
such
difference
betweene
the
Law
and
the
Gospell
.
Yea
:
They
differ
in
foure
things
.
1
The
Law
reueileth
sinne
,
rebuketh
vs
for
it
,
and
leaueth
vs
in
it
.
The
Gospell
reueileth
vnto
vs
the
remission
of
sinnes
,
and
freeth
from
the
punishments
belonging
thereunto
.
2
The
Law
commaundeth
to
do
good
,
and
giueth
no
strength
,
but
the
Gospell
inableth
vs
to
doe
good
,
the
holy
Ghost
writing
the
Law
in
our
harts
,
and
assuring
vs
of
the
promise
.
3
The
Law
is
the
ministerie
of
wrath
,
death
and
condemnation
,
but
the
Gospell
is
the
ministerie
of
grace
,
iustification
and
life
.
4
In
many
poynts
the
Law
may
be
conceiued
by
reason
,
but
the
Gospell
cannot
,
being
far
aboue
mans
reason
.
wherein
doe
they
agree
.
In
this
,
that
they
be
both
of
God
,
and
declare
one
kinde
of
righteousnes
,
though
they
differ
in
offering
it
vnto
vs
.
What
is
that
one
kinde
of
righteousnesse
.
The
perfect
loue
of
God
,
and
of
our
neighbour
.
What
insueth
heereof
?
That
the
seuere
Law
,
pronounceth
all
the
faithfull
righteous
,
because
they
haue
in
Christ
all
that
the
Law
requireth
.
But
yet
they
remayne
transgressors
of
the
Law.
They
are
transgressors
in
themselues
,
and
yet
righteous
in
Christ
,
and
in
their
inner
man
they
loue
righteousnesse
,
and
hate
sinne
.
What
then
is
the
state
of
the
faithfull
in
this
life
.
They
are
sure
in
Christ
,
and
yet
fight
against
sinne
.
What
fight
haue
they
.
1
Within
,
they
haue
the
battaile
of
the
flesh
against
the
spirit
.
2
Without
,
the
temptations
of
sathan
and
of
the
world
.
How
shall
they
ouercome
.
By
a
liuely
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
.
What
call
you
the
flesh
.
The
corruption
of
our
nature
wherein
we
were
borne
and
conceiued
.
Doth
that
remaine
after
regeneration
.
Yea
it
dwelleth
in
vs
,
and
cleaueth
fast
vnto
vs
,
so
long
as
we
carry
the
outward
flesh
about
vs
.
How
doth
the
flesh
fight
against
the
spirit
.
By
continuall
lusting
against
it
,
and
that
is
two
waies
.
1
By
hindering
or
corrupting
vs
in
the
good
motions
,
works
&
deeds
of
the
spirit
.
2
By
continuall
moouing
vs
to
euill
motions
,
words
and
déeds
.
What
call
you
the
spirit
.
The
holy
spirit
which
God
in
Christ
hath
giuen
vs
,
wherby
we
are
begotten
againe
.
Doe
wee
not
receiue
the
spirit
in
full
measure
,
and
in
perfection
at
the
first
.
No
:
But
first
wee
receiue
the
first
fruits
,
&
afterward
daily
increases
of
the
same
vnto
the
end
,
if
that
fault
be
not
in
vs
.
How
doth
the
spirit
fight
in
vs
.
By
lusting
against
the
flesh
,
and
that
is
also
two
waies
.
1
Partly
by
rebuking
,
and
partly
by
restrayning
in
vs
the
euill
motions
and
déeds
of
the
flesh
.
2
By
continuall
inlightening
vs
,
&
affecting
vs
with
thoughts
,
words
,
&
déeds
agreeable
to
Gods
will
.
What
call
you
the
world
.
The
corrupt
state
&
condition
of
men
,
and
the
rest
of
the
creatures
.
How
doth
the
world
fight
against
vs
.
By
alluring
and
drawing
vs
to
the
corruptions
thereof
,
and
the
meanes
it
vseth
héerein
are
two
.
1
Oft
times
by
false
pleasures
,
profit
,
and
glory
of
this
world
,
from
our
obedience
to
God
.
2
Oft
times
it
draweth
vs
by
paines
and
losses
,
and
reproches
,
to
distrust
Gods
promises
.
How
shall
we
ouercome
the
pleasures
,
profit
,
and
glory
of
this
world
.
1
By
a
true
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
,
who
desposed
all
these
things
to
work
our
saluation
,
and
to
make
vs
able
to
ouercome
them
.
2
By
a
faith
in
Gods
word
,
that
feareth
vs
from
doing
any
thing
that
is
against
his
will
.
How
shall
we
ouercome
the
paines
,
losses
and
reproches
of
this
world
.
1
By
a
liuely
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
,
who
suffered
all
these
things
to
worke
our
saluation
,
and
inableth
vs
to
suffer
them
.
2
By
a
stedfast
faith
in
Gods
prouidence
,
that
we
shall
want
no
good
thing
:
and
that
all
things
soeming
hurtful
,
shall
be
turned
to
the
furtherance
of
our
saluation
.
What
call
you
sathan
?
The
aduersarie
and
enemie
of
God
and
his
people
.
How
doth
he
fight
against
vs
?
1
By
subtilty
,
alluring
vs
to
sinne
,
and
therefore
he
is
called
a
tempter
,
and
a
Serpent
.
2
By
laying
fearfully
to
our
charge
our
sinnes
committed
,
and
therefore
he
is
called
the
deuill
,
that
is
,
an
accuser
.
3
By
séeking
by
manifold
inward
terrors
,
and
outward
troubles
,
to
swallow
vs
vp
,
and
therefore
hee
is
called
,
a
roaring
Lyon.
How
shall
we
fight
against
him
and
his
temptations
.
1
By
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
who
ouercame
all
his
temptations
in
his
owne
person
,
to
the
end
we
might
ouerthrow
him
.
2
By
resisting
the
inward
motiens
,
and
outward
occasions
of
sinne
.
How
shall
we
doe
that
?
By
beleeuing
that
we
are
baptised
into
the
death
and
resurrection
of
Christ
.
How
shall
we
ouercome
sathan
and
his
accusations
.
1
By
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
,
who
hath
iustified
vs
for
all
the
sinne
,
for
the
which
he
can
accuse
vs
.
2
By
all
those
comfortable
promises
of
the
forgiuenes
of
sins
,
which
in
Christs
name
is
made
vnto
vs
.
How
shall
we
ouercome
him
in
our
terrors
and
troubles
.
1
By
faith
in
Iesus
Christ
,
who
was
heard
in
all
his
terrors
and
troubles
,
to
giue
vs
an
assurance
that
we
shall
not
be
ouercome
by
them
.
2
By
faith
in
Gods
prouidence
,
wherby
we
knowe
that
he
can
doe
no
more
vnto
vs
,
then
the
Lord
doth
direct
for
our
good
.
We
haue
hard
that
the
word
is
the
first
&
chiefe
means
,
not
only
to
beget
,
but
also
to
strengthen
and
increase
faith
in
vs
,
what
is
the
next
principall
meanes
.
That
is
Prayer
,
chiefly
seruing
for
the
strengthning
and
increasing
of
faith
.
what
is
Prayer
.
Prayer
is
a
lifting
vp
of
the
minde
,
and
a
powring
out
of
the
hart
before
God
.
Is
there
any
prescript
rule
of
Prayer
left
vs
in
the
Scriptures
.
Yea
,
euen
that
which
our
Sauiour
Christ
taught
his
disciples
,
called
the
Lords
Prayer
.
Is
it
lawfull
to
vse
no
other
manner
of
words
.
Yea
,
we
may
vse
an
other
forme
,
but
we
must
pray
for
the
same
things
,
and
with
like
affection
as
are
prescribed
ther.
How
is
that
Prayer
deuided
.
Into
three
parts
:
1
The
preface
,
or
enterance
thereto
:
2
The
prayer
it selfe
:
3
The
conclusion
or
shutting
vp
of
that
same
.
which
is
the
Preface
.
Our
Father
which
art
in
heauen
.
what
doth
this
put
vs
in
minde
of
.
1
Of
him
to
whom
we
pray
:
2
Of
our
owne
estate
in
prayer
.
To
whom
doe
we
pray
.
To
God
the
Father
,
the
Sonne
,
and
the
the
holy
Ghost
.
why
doe
you
heare
name
the
father
.
Because
discerning
the
persons
,
wee
pray
vnto
the
father
,
secretly
vnderstanding
that
wee
doe
so
in
the
mediation
of
his
sonne
,
by
the
working
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
why
must
we
pray
to
the
father
in
the
mediation
of
Christ
his
Sonne
.
Because
God
beeing
displeased
for
sinne
,
we
can
haue
no
dealing
with
him
,
but
only
by
the
meanes
of
his
sonne
,
in
whom
he
is
well
pleased
.
why
must
we
pray
by
the
working
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
Because
the
holy
ghost
assureth
vs
,
that
God
is
our
Father
,
&
whereas
we
know
not
what
to
pray
,
nor
how
,
he
teacheth
vs
.
what
must
we
be
perswaded
of
our
owne
estate
in
prayer
.
Partly
concerning
our selues
,
and
partlie
concerning
others
.
What
perswasion
must
wee
haue
touching
our selues
.
We
must
be
truly
humbled
,
and
withall
,
haue
a
certaine
confidence
that
wee
shall
be
hard
.
How
shall
we
be
truly
humbled
.
1
With
a
perswasion
of
our
sinfull
miserie
and
vnworthines
to
be
holpen
.
2
With
a
most
certaine
perswasion
of
the
most
glorious
Maiestie
of
God
in
heauen
,
that
must
helpe
vs
.
How
shal
we
be
assured
that
we
shall
be
heard
.
1
By
being
perswaded
that
God
loueth
vs
as
his
own
children
,
in
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
2
By
faith
,
being
perswaded
that
God
our
Father
is
able
to
doe
whatsoeuer
he
will
in
heauen
and
earth
.
What
must
wee
be
perswaded
concerning
other
.
1
That
all
Gods
people
pray
for
vs
.
2
We
must
be
perswaded
that
it
is
our
bounded
dutie
to
pray
for
other
,
as
well
as
for
our selues
.
How
are
the
petitions
duided
.
1
We
make
our
requests
for
those
things
which
concerne
Gods
Maiestie
.
2
For
those
things
which
concerne
our
owne
welfare
.
Which
be
those
that
concerne
Gods
Maiestie
.
The
thrée
first
:
1
Hallowed
be
thy
name
,
2
Thy
kingdome
come
.
3
Thy
will
be
done
in
earth
as
it
is
in
heauen
.
What
is
meant
by
the
name
of
God
.
1
The
names
and
titles
of
God
,
as
Iehoua
,
the
Lord
of
Lords
,
&c.
2
The
wisedome
,
power
,
mercy
,
goodnes
,
truth
,
righteousnes
,
and
the
eternitie
of
God
.
Why
be
these
called
the
names
of
God
.
Because
as
names
serue
to
discerne
things
by
,
so
by
these
things
GOD
is
knowne
to
be
God
.
What
is
meant
by
this
word
sanctified
.
We
pray
that
God
as
he
is
glorious
in
himselfe
,
so
he
may
be
declared
and
made
knowne
to
men
.
How
shall
Gods
name
be
declared
to
be
holy
and
glorious
.
1
We
pray
that
his
wisedome
,
power
,
mercy
,
&c.
may
more
and
more
be
imparted
into
vs
,
and
other
of
Gods
people
.
2
We
pray
,
that
according
as
wee
know
these
things
,
so
the
fruits
of
them
may
appeare
in
ours
&
all
Gods
peoples
liues
,
that
so
Gods
name
may
be
honoured
and
praised
.
What
doe
we
pray
against
in
his
petion
.
1
Against
all
ignorance
of
the
holy
things
we
should
know
,
and
want
of
good
workes
,
whereby
God
wants
of
his
glory
.
2
Against
all
false
religion
,
wickednes
,
and
vngodlines
,
by
which
Gods
name
is
dishonoured
.
