A76705	A twofold catechism: the one simply called A Scripture-catechism; the other, A brief Scripture-catechism for children. Wherein the chiefest points of the Christian religion, being question-wise proposed, resolve themselves by pertinent answers taken word for word out of the Scripture, without either consequences or comments. Composed for their sakes that would fain be meer Christians, and not of this or that sect, inasmuch as all the sects of Christians, by what names soever distinguished, have either more or less departed from the simplicity and truth of the Scripture.

32. Qu.

Qu. You have made it plainly to appear that the law of faith or the new covenant whereof Christ was the Mediator is better then the law of works or the old covenant whereof Moses was the Mediator in respect of precepts is it also better in respect of promises A. He hath obtained a more excellent ministry by how much he is the Mediator of a better covenant which was established upon better promises Heb. 8. 6. The law made nothing perfect but the bringing in of a better hope did Heb. 7. 19. Qu. Were those better promises of God touching eternal life and immortality hidden in the dark and not brought to light under the law A. Christ Jesus hath brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel 2 Tim. 1. 10. Qu. Though the promises of the Gospel be better then those of the law yet are they not as well as those of the law proposed under conditions of faith and perseverance therein of holiness and obedience of repentance of suffering for Christ and his truth c How speaketh the Scripture hereupon A. As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life For God so loved the World that he gave his onely begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the onely-begotten Son of God He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him Joh. 3. 14 15 16 18 36. Then said Jesus to the Jews that believed on him If ye continue in my word then are ye my disciples indeed Joh. 8. 31. We are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast to the end Heb. 2. 14. But Christ as a Son over his own house whose house we are If we hold fast the confidence and the rejoyoing of the hope firm unto the end Heb. 3. 6. If a man purge himself from these he shall be a vessel unto honour 2 Tim. 2. 21.

Repent or else I will come unto thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth Rev. 2. 16. If ye know these things happie are ye if ye do them Joh. 13. 17. Whosoever cometh to me and heareth my sayings and doth them I will shew you to whom he is like He is like a man which built a house and digged deep and laid the foundation on a rock But he that heareth and doth not is like a man that without a foundation built an house upon the earth Luk. 6. 47 48 49. If we suffer we shall also raign with him if we deny him he will also deny us 2 Tim. 2. 12. If children then heirs heirs of God and joynt-heirs of Christ if so be that we suffer with him that we may be also glorified together Rom. 8. 17. CHAP. IX Of Remission of sins by Christ. Qu. WHo shall have remission of sins by Christ What saith the Apostle Peter A. To him give all the prophets

not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel 1 Cor. 9. 11 13 14. Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour especially they who labour in the word and doctrine For the Scripture saith Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn and The labourer is worthy of his reward 1 Tim. 5. 17 18. Qu. What saith the apostle Paul to Titus concerning the persons that are to be ordained Elders Bishops or Overseers of the Church A. For this cause left I thee in Crete that thou shouldst set in order the things that are wanting and ordain elders in every city as I had appointed thee If any be blameless the husband of one wife having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly For a bishop must be blameless as the steward of God not self-willed not soon angry not given to wine no striker not given to filthy lucre But a lover of hospitality a lover of good men sober just holy temperate Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince gainsayers Tit. 1. 5 6 7 8 9. Qu. What saith he to Timothy concerning the same subject A. This is a true saying If any man desire the office of a bishop he desireth a good work A bishop then must be blameless the husband of one wife vigilant sober of good behaviour given to hospitality apt to teach Not given to wine no striker not given to filthy lucre but patient not a brawler not covetous One that ruleth well his own house having his children in subjection with all gravity For if a man know not how to rule his own house how shall he take care of the church of God Not a novice lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil 1 Tim. 3. 1 2 c. Q. How ought those to be qualified that are to be ordained Deacons for the keeping and distributing the common stock of the Church A. Likewise must the deacons be grave not double-tongued not given to much wine not greedy of filthy lucre Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience And let these also first be proved then let them use the office of a deacon being found blameless Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife ruling their children and their own houses well 1 Tim. 3. 8 9 10 12. Q. How ought their wives to be qualified A. Even so must their wives be grave not slanderers sober faithful in all things 1 Tim. 3. 11. Qu. What direction doth the Apostle give touching the casting of unworthy members out of the Church A. Now we command you brethren in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ that ye withdraw your selves from every brother that walketh disorderly and not after the tradition which ye received of us 1 Thess 5. 6. But now have I written unto you not to keep company if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator or covetous or an idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner with such a one no not to eat For what have I to do to judge them also that are without do not ye judge them that are within But them that are without God judgeth Therefore put away from among your selves that wicked person 1 Cor. 5. 11 12 13. CHAP. XXII Of Baptism Qu. WHat is the judgement of John the Baptist of Christ Jesus and of the Apostle Peter touching the doctrine of Baptisms How speak they A. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but he that cometh after me is mightier then I whose shooes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the holy Ghost and with fire Mat. 3. 11. Wait for the promise of the Father which ye have heard of me For John verily baptized with water but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost not many dayes hence Acts 1. 4 5. As I began to speak the holy Ghost fell on them as on us at the beginning Then remembred I the word of the Lord how that he said John indeed baptized with water but ye shall be baptized with the holy Ghost Acts 11. 15 16. Qu. Though the passages which you have alledged plainly intimate that the baptism of the Spirit was the baptism of Christ as that of water was Johns baptism yet did not the Apostles of Christ baptize with water what saith Paul of this also A. I baptized the house of Stephanas 1 Cor. 1. 16. Qu. But divers think the Apostles were sent to baptize as well as to preach What therefore saith the same Apostle concerning this also A. Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the Gospel 1 Cor. 1. 17. Qu. Howbeit when Paul himself and the believing Romans were baptized into what doth he say they were baptized and to what end A. So many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father so we also should walk in newness of life Rom. 6. 3 4. Qu. Forasmuch as so great stress is put by some upon water-baptism what baptism is it even in the judgement of the Apostle Peter whereby we are saved the said baptism of water whereby the filth of the body is washed off or the baptism of the heart whereby it is cleansed from an evil conscience A. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us not the putting away of the filth of the flesh but the answer of a good conscience towards God 1 Pet. 3. 21. CHAP. XXIII Of the Lords Supper Qu. WHen was the Lords supper instituted and to what end A. The Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betraid took bread And when he had given thanks he brake it and said Take eat this is my body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me After the same maner also he took the cup when he had supped saying This cup is the new testament in my blood this do ye as oft as ye drink it in remembrance of me For as oft as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye shew forth the Lords death till he come 1 Cor. 11. 23 24 25 26. Q. What hurt happeneth to him that receiveth the Lords supper unworthily A. Whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord unworthily shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. He that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself not discerning
