What
doest thou cheifly Learne in these Articles of thy Beliefe A. First I learne to beleeue in God the Father who hath made me and all the world As it doth appeare out of the first Article Secondly in God the sonne who hath redeemed mee and all mankind As it doth appeare both by the second third fourth fift sixt seaventh Articles which shew what God did or what meanes he vsed and will vse for the perfect redemption of them that beleeue as much and also by the Ninth Tenth Eleuenth and Twelfth Articles which shew what or wherein our redemption doth consist Thirdly in God the holy Ghost who Sanctifieth mee and all the Elect people of God As wee Learne out of the Eight and Ninth Articles Q. It semes by your answere that there are three gods God the Father God the Sonne God the Holy Ghost A. There is but one god 1. Iohn 5.7 but three Persons as I am taught to beleeue in Athanasius his Creede commonly called by the name of Quicunque vult which is not a Different or seuerall Creed from the Apostles Creed or the Nicene Creed which is vsually read after the Gospell but a commentary rather or large exposition thereof Q. What doe you meane by a Person A. By this word Person I doe vnderstand a diuerse and Incommunicable manner and order of being and working in God And this is plainely set forth in Athanasius his Creede Touching the diuers manner of being in the Godhead thus it is The Father is made of none neither created nor begotteÌ„ The SoÌ„ne is of the Father alone not made nor created but begotten The Holy Ghost is of the Father of the Sonne neither made nor created nor begotten but proceeding and as it were Breathed from both Ioh 15.26.16.15.20.22 Now the diverse order of working in God is thus The creation of all things is the proper immediate worke of the Father the first Person of the three The redemption of mankinde is the proper and immediate worke of the Sonne the second Person of the three Sanctification is the proper and immediate worke of the holy Ghost the third Person of the three And thus God is One in substance Power and Eternitie Three in Number of Persons both according to the diuerse manner of being in respect of one another and also of their Different order of working vpon other things Q. You said that your Godfathers and Godmothers did promise for you that you should keepe Gods Commaundements His workes Tell me how many there bee A. Tenne Q. Which be they A. The same which God spake in the Twentieth Chapter of Exodus saying I am the Lord thy God which haue brought thee out of the Land of Egypt out of the house of bondage Q. What doth God command in these words A. God commandeth nothing in these words but rather shewes vs his authority and power in making Lawes and the reasons why we are to obey and doe them First I am the Lord saith he and therfore to him belongs the power of making lawes Secondly I am thy God brought thee out of Egypt saith hee and therefore thou art to obey and suffer thy selfe to be ruled by me Q. Which then is the first commandement A. 1. Thou shalt haue none other Gods but me Q. What doth God require of thee in this first commandement A. This is to bee noted and obserued in generall of this of all the Commandements following that in those coÌ„mandements which are negatiue that is forbidding somewhat to be done there also is implyed a Command bidding vs to doe those dutiâ—â— which are contrary to them which are expresly forbidde◠〈◊〉 so in those CoÌ„mandements which are Affirmatiue that is bidding somewhat to bee done there is also implyed a comand forbidding vs to do the contrary to them which are expresly enioyned for example in this first commaundement as God forbids vs to be Atheists that is to haue and acknowledge no God at al Psa 13.1 or to be Idolators that is to haue a false god or many gods Exo. 23.24.25 Deut. 32.12 Iosu 24.14 so doeth he requier vs to haue him to our god only him Deut. 6.12.13.14 Ios 23.7.8 Math. 4.10 Q. What is it to Haue God or to haue no other God A. It is as much as if I should say First that I must a Deut. 31.12.13 1. Cron. 29.10 c. Psal 100.3 Ierem. 9.24.7 Zephan 1.5 Ioh. 17 3.

What art thou taught in this commandement A.

Thirdly by exercising and performing all such holy workes which are commanded by God for the Sanctifying of the Sabbath namely by a Psalm 84 1 2 95 100 122 1 2 Ecles 5 1 Isai 2 3 Act. 2 1 1 Cor 11 18 14 26. repairing to the appointed and publike place of Gods worship with due reverence and preparation by b Levit 10 11 Nehem 8 4 8 Iohn 5.24 Acts. 2.14.13.14 c. 15.21.17.11 1.

Cor. 11.20 c. 16.2 Heb 3.16 Nehem 8.10 frequenting of his Sacraments and charitable contributions tothe poore and suchlike Godly workes Q. But why doth God require that wee should Remember to doe this commandement aboue any of the rest A. The reasons are divers First because the continuall remembrance and sight of this day or rather of God who is to be Sanctified this day will keepe vs more entirely in our obedience to him binde vs as it were to our good behaviour in all his other Commandements Secondly the remembrance thereof will cause vs to order all our doings and dealings so that on that Day wee may able be to give vp a good account thereof before him Lastly it will cause vs to cast and appointe our weekely busines with respect vnto this Day that by no meanes wee may be Distracted and hindered from an exacte observance thereof when it comes And thus we are to make a Dayly preparation for the Sanctifing of this one day as well by calling to minde and remembring what hath bene done in the Sabbath Day past as namely what we prayed for promised vowed to God touching the amendment and Sanctification of our liues and what wee were taught out of his word as what we are to doe on the next which is to come But more especially the day or rather the afternoone of the day immediatly goeing before the Sabbath or Lords day is appointed by the Church for preparation that is by giving over our weekely workes and laboures and by fasting and prayer Q. What doe the other wordes of this commandement serue for A. They containe divers reasons and motiues to perswade vs to the observation and keepeing of the Sabbath day As first God alloweth vs Six days in every weeke to doe our owne busines and therefore we may the willinger alow one to his honour and service Secondly the seaventh day is the Lords day he hath chosen and set it apart for himselfe and it is none of ours and therefore wee must doe his worke and none of our owne on this day Thirdly God himselfe rested from his worke on the Seventh day and therefore it will become vs to doe the like Fourthly god hath annexed a blessing vnto this day insomuch as that hee which observeth and Sanctifieth it shall also be blessed and holy and therefore for this cause are wee to keepe this Commandement namely that we may be holy blessed lastly this circumstance is to be noted by Parents Masters and Governors that they take especiall care that together with themselues there whole families and such as are vnder their power or soiournors sanctifie this day Q Tell me which is the Fift Commandement A. Honour thy Father and thy Mother Q. What doth God require in these words A. That all superiors or such as haue rule power and preheminenâ—e in any kinde aboue others as for example naturall Parents Princes Magistrates and their Debuties and Commissioners Ministers of the Gospel Husbands Masters of families and such as exceede in learning wisdome counsell riches age and other giftes and callings be honoured that is their worthines be acknowledged and reverent respect and due subiection yeilded vnto them by their inferiors Q. How are naturall Parents to be honoured by their Children A. First they are to be beloved and feared and not contemned and hated by them Levit 19. â— Ruth 1.16 Mat. 10.37 Deut. 27.16 Prov. 20.20 Secondly they are to be obeyed in all things which are lawfull and not any waies flighted and resisted Gen. 26. â—4 28.1.2.7.37 14.13 Prov 15.5.25 22.
