from

BEcause

that
the

,
not
onely
as
an

murtherer
,
proceadeth
stil
in

but

as

slaundring

of

(
specially
now
that

absent

gone
far
from
our

country
of
England
)
Therfor
,
partly
to
certifie
such
of

that

that
we

not

better

:
we
trust
to

of

,
and
your

For
these
and
such
consideracions
,
we
haue
therfore
set
forth
this
humble
&
vnfained
confession
of
our
belefe
,
that
is
to
say
:
how
we
in
conscience
ar
perswaded
by
the
infallible
testimony
of
the
scriptures
,
concerning
the
word
of
God
written
,
and
the
ministery
of
the
same
:
his
Church
also
,
and
sacraments
therof
.
For
as
these
are
the
principall
pointes
of
the
fayth
and
true
Religion
,
which
is
builded
only
vpon
Christ
:
so
if
our
mindes
by
the
witnes
of
the
holy
Gost
in
his
word
,
be
fully
resolued
herein
,
then
by
the
grace
of
the
same
most
holy
spirite
,
neyther
our
vnderstandynge
,
nor
good
wylles
,
neyther
yet
oure
bodyes
shall
be
stopte
nor
hindred
from
praier

fastynge
,
from
pacience
or
obedyence
,
from
peace
or
Christian
quietnes
,
from
doynge
our
duties
to
God
and
man
,
or
from
e●ercisyng
of
those
good
works
,
that
are
comprehended

.
And
thus
most
hertely
prayng
you
to
kepe
you
stil

Arke

Noah
&
his
housholde

We
assure
you
in

,
that
so
dooinge
:
the
fludde
shal
not
drowne
you
,
nether
shal
the
wrath

come

ouer
take
you

Amen
FIrst
,
because
we
mind
not
to
build
vppon
a
weke
foundation
,
we
are
stedfastly
perswaded
,
and
do
reuerently
beleue

al
the
Articles
of
the
christen
fayth
,
comprehended
in

Eredes
,
commonly
called

and

Athanasii
.
Item
.
We
do
stedfastli
beleue
,
end
reuerence
,
euen
from
the
botome
of
our
hartes
,
al
the
holy
Scriptures
of
Gods
b●oke
,
which
is
the
sacred
●yble
,
con●teinyng
the
Olde
and
Newe-testament
:
being
fullye
perswaded
〈◊〉
our
conscience
,
accordyng
to
the
testimony
of
the
holy
gost
,
that
the
same
holy
Scripture
,
is
able
to
make
men
learned
vnto
saluation
,
throughe
the
faith
which
is
in
Christ
Iesu
:
And
that
like
as
the
sayd
holy
Scripture
was
geuen
by
inspiration
of
God
(
whose
gracious
&
blessed
spirit
was
the
worker
therof
)
and
is
profitable
to
teach
,
to
improue
,
Item
.
We
beleue
,
that
whosoeuer
transgresseth
(
or
ouer
passeth
)
and
abideth
not
in
the
Doctrine
of
Christ
,
Item
.
Our
stedfast
beliefe
is
,
that
like
as
if
an
Angel
from
heauen
,
or
the
Apostles
them selues
,
should
preache
vnto
vs
any
other
Gospel
or
doctrin
concerning
Religion
contrary
to
that
thei
haue
taught
alredy
,
Item
.
We
beleue
verely
,
that
whosoeuer
doth
wilfully
follow
(
or
teach
)
such
doctrin
as
is
contrary
to
the
holy
scriptures
of
God
.
Item
.
Our
beleif
is
,
that
for
al
our
liplabour
and
outwarde
apperaunce
or
shewe
of
Religion
▪
Yet
so
longe
as
we
●epe
vs
not
to
the
rule
of
the
holy
scripture
,
but
wilfully
folowe
the
corrupt
tradicions
,
doctrines
,
preceptes
and
lawes
of
men
,
we
worship
Go●
in
vain
,
Item
.
Our
conscience
is
fully
perswaded
,
that
because
men
are
so
stubbourne
and
disobedient
,
so
hard
herted
&
froward
,
that
thei
thinke
scorne
to
herken
vnto
the
voyce
of
God
,
and
wilfully
refuse
to
be
ordred
by
the
teaching
of
his
holye
worde
and
scriptures
.
God
therfore
geuing
them
vp
to
their
owne
heartes
lust
,
Item
.
Our
stedfast
beleife
is
,
that
whatsoeuer
the
almightie
and
euerliuyng
God
commaundeth
vs
by
his
word
(
which
he
hath
appointed

that
we
bowe
not

therfrom
,
neither
to
the
ryght
hand
nor
to
the
left
,
and
that
we
do
not
suche
thinges
as
seme
good
in
our
own
eies
,
but
Item
.
Like
as
our
beleife
is
,
that
the
sayd
holy
word
and
scripture
of
God
alone
,
sheweth
men
the
right
path
to
come
to
god
,
to
se
him
,
to
know
him
to
loue
hym
,
to
serue
hym
,
&
so
to
serue
hym
as
he
most
desireth
:
so
ar
we
fulli
perswaded
,
according
to
s.
Austines
counsail
that
it
is
our
bounden
dutie
,
aswel
to
yelde
and
consent
to
the
authoritie
of
holy
scripture
,
which
neither
can
disceiue
,
nor
be
desceiued
.
As
also
in
the
vnderstanding
therof
,
And
here
with
this
humble
confesion
of
our
fayth
in
Christ
,
we
do
euen
from
the
botome
o●
our
hartes
,
right
sore
,
lament
and
bewaile
,
the
present
miserable
decay
of
Christes
true
Religion
,
the
manyfold
inconueniences
the
great
harme
and
horrible
abuses
,
that
are
entred
in
among
the
generations
of
men
of
al
sortes
and
degrees
through
addyng
vnto
the
sayd
holye
Scripture
,
throughe
minishing
of
it
,
and
for
not
duely
consideryng
the
circumstances
therof
:
That
is
to
say
,
for
not
regarding
,
for
not
obeiyng
,
and
for
not
folowyng
the
infallible
truth
of
the
same
moost
reuerende
word
of
God
:
The
curssed
and
vnhappy
contempt
wherof
vndoubtedli
hath
brought
into
this
worlde
,
al
wickednes
,
aswel
of
false
doctrine
,
as
of
vngodly
and

liuyng
:
To
the
subuerting
of
al
good
ordre
,
not
oneli
in
matters
of
Religion
,
but
also
in
thynges
concernyng
our
duties
one

.
Wherfore
,
beynge
fullye

that
the
eternal
God
hath
appoynted
the
ministery
of
his

Of

THough

This
Churche
is
the
house

the
dwellynge

,
and
congregation
of
the
liuing
God
,
This
Church
is

Spouse
of

,
Of
this

are
thei
,
Notwithstandyng

we
are
throwli
perswaded
,
that
as
the
sayd
blessed
vniuersal
Church

of

,
is
the
pillor
and
ground
of

(
for
greate
is
the
misterye
of
godlines
that
it
teacheth
)
Euen
so
,
As
(
for
ensample
)
what
sound

,
what
wholsome

,
what
good
and
vpright
discipline
,
is
there
at

,
in
any

Churches
?
Be

corrupted
and
poysoned
with
diuers
kindes
of
horrible
idolatrye
,
with
shameful
supersticious
,
with
damnable
sectes
and
false

,
and
with
the

of

?
Wherfore
,
inconsideration
of
the
premisses
,
and
for
auoydinge
of
suche
stormes
as
must
needes
ouerthrowe
the
house
that
is
builded
vpon
the
sande
we
are
fully
resolued
in
maner
aboue
written
,
concerning
the
sayd
holye
Apostolicke
and
Catholike
or
vniuersal
church
of
Christ
.
Of
the
Sacramentes
.
YF
it
be
meete
and
conuenient
(
as
it
is
in
dede
)
that
the
circumstances
of
the
scriptures
,
Now
because
we
must
nedes
confesse
,
as
we
do
reuerently
wyth
al
our
hartes
,
that
the
mistery
of
Gods
holy
Sacramentes
is
most
comfortable
,
&
most
worthy
to
be
tasted
,
felt
and
vnderstand
in
euery
Christen
conscience
:
And
forasmuch
as
the
Diuel
,
with
the
cloud
of
blynd
and
wilful
ignoraunce
,
hath
darkned
the
eyes
of
mani
a
mothers
child
,
so
that
they
do
not
see
nor
perceiue
the
swetenes
of
this
treasure
what
it
is
,
wher
it
lyeth
,
nor
the
right
vse
of
it
.
Therfore
,
albeit
the
holy
Gost
him selfe
hath
broken
the
hard
shel
of
the
Nutte
already
,
yet
seing
there
are
sondry
good
peeces
of
the
swete
kernel
ca●t
out
,
and
lye
,
some
troden
vnder
feete
,
some
shuffeled
amonge
the
shels
.
We
mynde
as
sincerely
&
faithfullye
as
we
can
,
to
do
our
best
in
taking
vp
,
and
laying
forth
such
parcels
of
the
said
most
swete
kernell
,
concerning
the
mis●ery
of
Gods
holye
Sacramentes
as
the
Lord
himselfe
bi
his
grace
,
in
this
our
humble
confession
,
shal
helpe
and
teach
vs
to
vtter
.
Nowe
as
it
is
most
requisite
,
worthely
to
consider
the
sayde
misterye
,
God
now
,
to
kepe
his
people
in
remembraunce
of
thys
his
great
merci
,
requyred
continual
sacrifices
to
prouoke
them
vnto
thankfulnes
,
and
to
geue
them
occasion
from
tyme
to
time
▪
to
setle
and
reast
theyr
consciences
stil
,
〈◊〉
hope
vpon
the
sayde
promes
.
And
for
thys
cause
he
reneued
the
said
couenaunt
of
mercy
so
oft
and
sondrye
●imes
by
outward
Sacramentes
and
ceremonies
:
in
the
which
,
the
death
of
Christ
was
so
present
to
the
faith
of
the
fathers
,
that
thei
beleuing
the
promis
made
in
the
blessed
seede
,
apprehended
the
sayd
life
that
was
lost
in
Adam
.
Now
to
come
somewhat
nerer
vnto
the
sacraments
of
the
new
law
,
we
do
hartely
agree
and
consent
to
the
iudgement
of
S.
Augustine
:
O
worlde
howe
mad
,
o
man
howe
blinde
art
thou
?
that
seest
not
this
precious
treasure
,
and
taistest
not
the
incomparable
swetenes
and
moste
heauenly
comfort
of
this
greate
mistery
betwene
Christ
and
his
congregation
▪
For
first
,
as
concernyng
fleshe
and
bloude
,
we
were
in
felowshippe
with
Christ
,
in
the
loynes
of
our
forefather
Adam
,
The
fruitful
knowledge
and
vnderstandyng
of
this
heauenly
mistery
,
is
euidently
set
furth
to
the
eyes
of
faith
▪
not
onely
by
the
fyrst
institution
and
practise
of
the
Lordes
holy
Supper
,
but
also
by
his
most
comfortable
wordes
afore
in
the
Gospel
,
And
like
as
the
sonne
sayth
,
that
the
father
should
geue
vs
the
breade
that
came
from
heauen
,
that
is
to
saye
,
his
owne
sonne
(
whom
he
also
calleth
lyfe
,
because
he
is
the
life
it selfe
:
)
Euen
so
the
sonne
saith
,
that
the
bread
which
he
wold
geue
,
Thus
through
faythe
,
we
haue
the
perfourmaunce
of
that
whiche
was
promised
,
namely
,
of
the
deuine
nature
which
is
life
after
a
more
aboundaunt
sort
,
then
it
was
lost
in
Adam
:
The
worthy
Sacrament
of
the
body
and
bloude
of
the
Lorde
,
was
instituted
only
by
himselfe
,
in
the
Parler
wher
thei
did
eate
the
Easter
lambe
,
the
same
night
wherin
he
was
betraied
.
And
as
concernyng
the
maner
how
the
Lord
and
thei
that
receiued
it
with
him
,
did
vse
it
:
Howe
he
also
himselfe
willed
others
his
deputies
and
ministers
of
his
congregation
and
church
to
do
the
same
(
for
whom
like
wyse
,
&
for
what
intent
and
purpose
he
did
institute
&
ordayne
it
)
it
is
sufficientlye
mencioned
by
the
thre
Euangelistes
and
by
the
Apostle
Paule
.
For
Sacramentes
are
as
substancial
couenauntes
&
agrementes
,
whose
nature
is
to
declare
vnto
vs
,
some
righte
,
title
,
priuiledge
or
gifte
,
that
we
haue
or
shal
receiue
thereby
:
whether
thei
be
grounded
vpon
a
commen
custome
,
or
commaunded
to
be
obserued
,
by
such
as
haue
authoritie
to
make
a
lawe
or
ordinaunce
for
the
same
.
For
whi
should
the
ordre
prescribed
in
this
holy
Sacrament
,
be
worse
kept
,
or
lesse
obserued
,
then
was
the
rule
that
God
appoynted
in
the
Sacramentes
of
the
olde
lawe
?
Their
sacramentes
had
orders
,
which
wer
kept
:
and
whi
should
not
the
rules
of
our
Sacramentes
be
obserued
likewyse
?
Circumcision
had
a
prescribed
day
what
persons
should
be
Circumcised
,
The
celebration
of
Easter
,
had
like
wise
of
the
Lorde
a
time
appointed
,
And
diligently
is
this
to
be
noted
:
Namely
,
that
lyke
as
the
fathers
in
olde
time
did
faythfully
obserue
and
kepe
the
sayde
rules
,
nether
omyttyng
any
of
them
,
nor
minishyng
theim
,
nether
addyng
ought
vnto
them
that
the
Lord
himself
,
had
not
appoynted
,
:
Euen
so
albeit
that
the
cuttynge
awaye
of
the
fores●ynne
of
the
fleshe
in
Circumcision
,
had
the
name
of
the
Lordes
couenaunt
,
and
though
the
other
sacrament
was
called
the
passeouer
of
the
Lorde
,
Yet
were
they
neuer
the
lesse
(
without
any
strife
,
brawlyng
or
contention
about
the
names
)
obediently
and
thākfulli
in
godli
quietnes
vsed
&
obserued
The
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
also
,
hath
his
ceremonies
and
rule
appointed
of
the
Lorde
:
Nowe
to
returne
agayn
to
our
purpose
:
The
worthy
Sacrament
of
the
●ordes
body
and
bloud
,
hath
his
prescribed
order
&
rule
.
And
,
so
that
thys
holy
sacrament
be
,
accordynge
to
the
practise
of
his
blessed
institution
,
both
ministred
and
receiued
to gether
.
The
election
and
appoyntment
of
the
time
thereof
,
is
referred
and
left
to
the
godly
discression
of
Christes
Church
.
For
the
Apostle
saith
:
Quotiescumque
.
&c.
As
oft
as
ye
eate
this
breade
and
drynke
of
this
cu●pe
,
This
is
nowe
the
ordre
,
appointed
to
be
obserued
at
the
ministration
of
this
holy
sacrament
,
In
Ciuile
causes
the
like
order
taketh
place
.
Where
a
leace
is
made
,
it
must
not
only
be
signed
,
sealed
,
&
deliuered
,
but
also
receiued
,
and
the
partie
put
in
possession
:
Not
deliuered
(
I
say
)
by
euery
man
,
but
only
by
hym
or
his
deputie
,
that
hath
authority
to
make
or
geue
the
leace
:
neither
maye
euery
man
receiue
and
ennioye
it
,
saue
only
he
,
to
whom
it
is
made
or
geuen
,
or
that
hath
ryght
thereto
.
Agayne
,
a
leace
commonly
is
not
made
wythout
condicions
:
whych
if
they
be
broken
,
doth
not
the
farmer
than
forfeit
his
leace
?
And
what
meane
we
els
by
thys
,
but
euen
to
shew
that
it
is
an
horrible
thing
,
&
farre
out
of
order
,
that
whyle
the
Lord
in
this
hys
holy
Sacrament
offreth
vs
so
large
a
couenaunt
of
mercy
,
we
shal
thincke
scorne
,
to
kepe
the
condicions
therof
,
and
the
rules
that
he
hath
prescribed
vnto
vs
?
No
man
doubtles
(
no
not
in
Ciuile
matters
)
would
be
so
serued
:
wher
like
as
it
is
no
bargaine
,
til
both
parties
be
agreed
,
so
commeth
it
to
no
perfect
effecte
,
neither
can
it
stand
vnlesse
the
duties
,
condicions
&
promises
be
kept
.
Neuertheles
this
thing
shal
appeare
muche
more
euident
,
if
we
compare
the
practise
of
these
present
miserable
dayes
▪
to
the
order
of
the
●ord
and
his
Apostles
in
the
primitiue
church
,
&
lay
the
one
agaynst
the
other
.
As
for
the
perfourmaunce
of
the
condicions
on
hys
party
,
ther
is
no
doubt
:
For
wher
as
he
couenanteth
with
vs
in
thys
holy
Sacrament
,
so
to
feede
,
nourish
,
&
confort
our
consciences
,
that
he
wyl
euen
seale
vs
vnto
him selfe
,
set
hys
marke
vpon
vs
,
and
take
vs
for
hys
own
.
He
certif●eth
vs
assuredly
,
that
vpon
such
condicions
,
as
we
also
vpon
our
allegiaunce
,
are
bound
to
kepe
(
whych
we
must
either
do
,
or
els
become
vnworthy
Receauers
to
our
damnation
)
we
haue
felowship
with
him
,
and
are
partakers
of
the
same
eternall
lyfe
,
that
he
hym selfe
hath
purchased
for
vs
in
hys
body
and
bloud
.
But
how
now
?
How
kepe
we
our
touche
with
him
?
By
his
order
there
should
be
no
●cisme
nor
discencion
among
vs
,
about
this
matter
:
And
yet
Lord
what
a
busines
is
ther
about
the
defence
of
a
new
found
transubstancia●ion
,
to
proue
that
bread
is
not
bread
,
Men
should
refourme
al
abuses
about
thys
mater
,
and
come
to
it
in
a
better
sorte
then
they
haue
done
:
And
do
they
not
wilfully
kepe
&
maintai●
theyr
abuses
styl
?
Yea
,
are
they
not
eueri
dai
in
their
doings
wors
&
wors
▪
Men
shoulde
come
to
the
Sacrament
together
,
and
the
wole
godly
assemble
to
communicate
as
brothers
&
sisters
in
the
Lord
.
But
Alas
,
thei
make
a
massing
matter
of
it
:
where
on
man
alone
taketh
vpon
hym
to
receyue
the
thinge
that
the
whole
congregacion
ought
to
be
partakers
of
:
&
where
one
shoulde
rather
tarye
for
another
,
then
that
any
disorder
shuld
be
committed
about
so
worthy
a
Sacrament
.
Men
ought
fyrst
to
proue
and
eramen
wel
theyr
consciences
,
to
cal
themselues
,
theyr
thoughtes
woordes
and
deede●
iustly
to
accompt
,
earnestly
to
repent
them
of
theyr
sinnes
,
to
lament
&
bewayle
theyr
manyfold
offences
,
to
acknowledge
and
confesse
them
vnto
God
,
hartely
to
cal
on
him
for
mercye
,
wholy
to
conuert
vnto
hym
,
and
louingly
to
reconcile
themselues
wit●
their
neighbours
,
afore
they
presume
to
aproche
vnto
the
table
of
the
Lord
.
And
doo
they
not
yet
fall
into
it
lyke
Hogges
,
walowing
styl
in
the
filthenes
of
their
abhominable
liuing
with
out
any
iust
remorce
of
conscience
,
with
out
any
true
repentaunce
or
amendement
of
lyfe
&
wythout
suche
charytable
recon●iliacion
,
as
was
wont
to
be
among
the
worthy
Communicantes
of
Christes
holy
Sacrament
?
The
Priest
ought
so
to
minister
,
&
in
such
a
language
,
that
the
people
might
vnderstand
what
he
saith
:
But
he
hudling
it
vp
in
a
corner
by
hym self
,
mumbleth
we
can
not
tel
what
.
His
dutye
is
sensibly
to
declare
vnto
vs
the
Lordes
death
:
that
we
therby
myghte
be
styrred
vp
,
aswel
to
remember
&
taste
the
swetenes
of
this
mistery
of
our
redemption
,
as
to
be
thankful
vnto
the
Lord
for
the
same
:
But
the
Prest
speaking
to
the
wal
,
&
not
vnto
vs
,
kepeth
vs
stil
in
blynde
ignoraunce
.
So
that
as
we
cannot
consider
what
the
Lord
hathe
done
,
doth
,
or
offereth
to
do
for
vs
,
so
is
it
no
maruayle
,
that
we
remayne
styl
vnthankful
,
We
should
at
the
ministracion
and
recept
of
the
Sacrament
,
haue
good
natural
bread
:
but
in
stede
thereof
,
we
haue
printed
waifers
,
and
suche
starched
stuffe
,
as
is
not
pure
&
perfecte
bread
,
nor
lyke
vnto
that
whych
was
vsed
in
the
eating
of
the
Lordes
holy
Supper
at
the
first
.
The
Lord
biddeth
his
disciples
take
the
breade
:
but
oure
lay
people
(
whom
we
trust
yet
to
be
the
Lords
disciples
)
are
forbidden
to
touch
it
.
The
Lord
saith
:
Take
ye
,
&
eate
ye
,
he
saith
not
,
take
thou
it
alon
,
and
let
no
man
els
eate
with
the.
He
saith
,
take
and
eate
:
he
saith
not
,
lift
it
vp
aboue
your
heades
:
But
nowe
the
Priestes
take
and
lyft
it
vp
an
high
.
He
sayeth
:
Take
and
eate
,
and
saieth
not
hang
it
vp
:
But
now
it
is
taken
&
hanged
vp
by
a
lyne
or
cord
.
He
sayth
:
Take
and
eate
,
and
saith
not
,
take
and
worshyp
it
as
God
:
But
now
men
crouch
and
kneele
vnto
it
,
honour
and
worship
it
as
theyr
maker
.
The
Lord
saith
.
Take
&
eate
:
He
saith
not
,
put
it
vp
in
store
.
or
kepe
it
in
a
boxe
tyl
another
tyme
:
But
now
it
is
reserued
&
caried
about
in
procession
,
and
in
the
streetes
,
that
the
people
may
fal
downe
(
yea
,
when
they
se
it
not
)
knocke
theyr
breastes
&
worship
it
.
The
Lord
saith
:
Do
this
in
remembraunce
of
me
:
He
sayeth
not
,
do
it
in
remembraunce
of
others
:
but
now
the
Priestes
do
theyr
Masse
in
remembraunce
of
the
quicke
&
deade
,
in
remembraunce
of
Angels
&
saints
:
they
make
an
oblacion
&
sacrifice
of
it
for
the
soules
departed
,
for
beasts
and
Catfel
,
for
syknesses
and
diseases
.
&c.
The
Lord
willeth
al
the
Disciples
that
were
with
him
,
to
drinke
of
the
Cup
,
and
the
Euangelist
saith
▪
that
they
al
dranke
of
it
:
But
now
the
part
of
the
Sacrament
is
taken
from
the
lay
people
,
as
though
Christ
had
not
shed
his
bloud
for
them
,
as
wel
as
for
others
.
What
can
we
then
iustly
looke
for
at
the
Lordes
hand
to
be
partakers
of
in
this
worthy
Sacrament
,
when
we
so
vnworthely
disdaine
&
think
scorne
to
minister
,
receaue
and
vse
it
according
to
the
Lordes
most
holy
institucion
:
but
chop
and
chaunge
,
adde
and
minysh
,
after
the
pleasures
,
imaginacions
and
fond
fantasies
of
men
,
&
not
after
the
word
of
the
Lorde
,
nor
after
the
rightful
practise
of
hys
primitiue
and
most
pure
Church
?
Because
the
Corinthians
did
so
vnworthely
behaue
them selues
aboute
thys
holy
Sacrament
,
by
reason
of
these
and
such
like
abuses
as
we
haue
now
spoken
of
,
and
for
that
thei
made
no
difference
of
the
Lordes
body
,
that
is
to
say
,
because
thei
so
litle
regarded
not
only
his
mistical
body
the
church
and
congregacion
,
but
also
the
death
and
merites
of
his
natural
blessed
body
that
suffred
and
was
crucified
for
them
:
therfore
(
saith
the
Apostle
)
many
are
weake
and
sicke
among
you
,
and
many
sleepe
.
And
what
thing
els
vnder
the
Sunne
,
hathe
more
prouoked
the
wrath
and
indignation
of
god
ouer
vs
,
or
is
a
greater
occasion
why
he
withdraweth
his
grace
&
holy
spirit
from
vs
,
and
otherwise
also
sendeth
his
sondrye
plages
amongst
vs
:
Yea
,
what
hath
bene
or
is
at
thys
daye
,
a
greater
cause
of
his
displeasure
,
than
is
the
most
filthy
and
abhominable
idolatry
and
supersticion
of
theyr
masse
,
the
blinde
and
wylfull
abusing
of
the
Sacrament
,
when
neither
the
doctrine
of
the
Lord
is
trulye
taught
nor
beleued
,
neither
those
worthye
fruites
of
repentaunce
folow
,
that
so
godly
florished
in
the
primitiue
churche
,
&
that
so
vertuously
shuld
appeare
in
euerie
one
that
receaueth
the
holy
communion
?
But
now
to
conclude
,
for
our
own
part
:
This
worthy
Sacrament
of
our
Lord
and
only
sauiour
Iesus
Christ
,
we
so
honour
and
reuerence
,
that
we
are
fully
resolued
and
perswade●
(
by
the
testimony
of
hys
holy
word
)
that
it
is
a
synguler
and
precious
Iewell
▪
which
the
Lorde
himselfe
,
by
hys
last
wyl
and
testament
,
hath
moste
graciously
committed
and
left
to
hys
owne
holy
congregacion
and
church
,
to
the
intent
that
the
same
worthye
Sacrament
,
which
he
ordayned
to
be
a
special
renewing
of
hys
gracious
couenaunt
with
vs
,
and
an
vndoubted
testimony
and
seale
of
his
louing
mercy
towardes
vs
,
should
be
also
a
continual
and
frutful
exercise
of
our
faith
loue
&
hope
to
himward
,
&
a
myghtye
prouocacion
vnto
charity
and
al
good
workes
among
our selues
.
So
as
we
fyrst
duely
examining
our
owne
consciences
,
and
then
assembling
our
selues
orderly
to
that
solempne
memorial
of
our
redemption
,
hearing
there
the
death
of
the
Lorde
,
declared
vnto
vs
:
callyng
the
same
in
special
(
and
all
other
hys
benefites
in
general
)
moste
thankfully
to
remembraunce
:
lamenting
,
bewailing
,
and
repenting
vs
earnestly
of
our
sinnes
:
knowledgyng
&
confessing
them
vnto
God
,
●euoutlye
calling
vpon
him
for
mercy
,
professing
a
new
vertuous
life
:
conuertynge
vs
wholy
vnto
him
,
&
forgeueing
one
another
in
brotherly
reconsiliacion
from
the
botome
of
our
hartes
,
shoulde
in
the
vnity
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
aproche
reuerently
vnto
the
table
of
the
Lord
,
and
worthely
receiue
such
notable
increase
of
heauenly
confort
,
&
spirituall
repaste
in
our
consciences
,
as
He
there
for
that
purpose
(
by
the
communion
and
felowship
that
we
haue
with
hym
in
his
precious
body
&
bloude
)
most
louinglye
doth
offer
vnto
vs
,
euen
clothing
vs
,
as
it
were
wyth
a
newe
power
and
strengthe
from
aboue
:
that
we
being
armed
a
freshe
with
hys
owne
weapons
,
may
from
hence●orthe
fyght
the
more
valeauntly
vnder
his
baner
,
against
the
flesh
,
the
world
,
&
the
Diuel
:
whiche
to
do
,
he
graunt
vs
hys
grace

Amen
