Chapter of John THe same day at night which was the first day of the Sabboths when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled together for fear of the Iews came Iesus and stood in the midst and said unto them Peace be unto you And when he had so said he shewed unto them his hands and his side Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord. Then said Iesus unto them again Peace be unto you As my Father sent me even so send I you also And when he had said those words he breathed on them and said unto them receive ye the holy Ghost Whosoevers sins ye remit they are remitted unto them and whosoevers sins ye retain they are retained When the Gospel is ended then shall be said or sung COme holy Ghost eternal God proceeding from above Both from the Father and the Son the God of peace and love Visit our minds and into us thy heavenly grace inspire That in all truth and godliness we may have true desire Thou art the very Comforter in all wo and distress The heavenly gift of God most high which no tongue can express The fountain and the lively spring of joy celestial The fire so bright the love so clear and unction spiritual Thou in thy gifts art manifold whereby Christs Church doth stand In faithful hearts writing thy law the finger of Gods hand According to thy promise made thou givest speech of grace That through thy help the praise of God may found in every place O holy Ghost into our wits send down thy heavenly light Kindle our hearts with fervent love to serve God day and night Strength and stablish all our weakness so feeble and so frail That neither flesh the world nor devil against us do prevail Put back our enemy far from us and grant us to obtain Peace in our hearts with God and man without grudge or disdain And grant O Lord that thou being our leader and our guide We may eschew the snares of sin and from thee never slide To us such plenty of thy grace good Lord grant we thee pray That thou mayest be our Comforter at the last dreadful day Of all strife and dissension O Lord dissolve the bands And make the knots of peace and love throughout all Christian lands Grant us O Lord through thee to

Of the Holy Ghost Non habentur in R. Edward 6. Artic. THe Holy Ghost proceeding from the Father and the Son is of one substance Majesty and Glory with the Father and the Son very and eternal God 6. Of the sufficiency of the holy Scriptures for salvation HOly Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation so that whatsoever is not read therein nor may be proved thereby * Licet interdum à fidelibus ut pium conducibile ad ordinem decorum admittatur is not to be required of any man that it should be believed as an Article of the faith or be thought requisite or necessary to salvation In the name of the holy Scripture we do understand those Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament of whose authority was never any doubt in the Church Of the names and numbers of the Canonical Books Non habetur in R.

Book of Maccabees The 2. Book of Maccabees All the books of the New Testament as they are commonly received we do receive and account them Canonical 7. Of the Old Testament THe old Testament is not contrary to the New Testamentum vetus quasi novo contrarium sit non est repudiandum sed retinendum for both in the Old and New Testament everlasting life is offered to mankinde by Christ who is the onely Mediator between God and man being both God and man Wherefore they are not to be heard which feign that the old Fathers did look onely for transitory promises Although the Law given from God by Moses as touching Ceremonies and Rites do not binde Christian men Vid. haec Art 18. notata e●… R.

Of the three Creeds THe three Creeds Nice Creed Athanasius Creed and that which is commonly Called the Apostles Creed ought thorowly to be received and believed for they may be proved by most certain warrant of holy Scripture 9. Of Original or Birth-sin ORiginal sin standeth not in the following of Adam as the Pelagians do vainly talk * Et hodie Anabaptistae repetunt but it is the fault and corruption of the nature of every man that naturally is ingendred of the off-spring of Adam whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness and is of his own nature enclined to evil so that the flesh lusteth always contrary to the spirit and therefore in every person born into this world it deserveth Gods wrath and damnation And this infection of nature doth remain yea in them that are regenerated whereby the lust of the flesh called in Greek 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which some do expound the wisdom some sensuality some the affection some the desire of the flesh is not subject to the Law of God And although there is no condemnation for them that believe and are baptized yet the Apostle doth confesse that concupiscence and lust hath of it self the nature of sin De Gratia GRatia Christi seu S. spiritus qui per eundem datur cor lapideum aufert dat cor carneum Atque licet ex nolentibus quae recta sunt volentes faciat ex volentibus prava nolentes reddat voluntati nihilominus violentiam nullam infert nemo hâc de causâ cum peccaverit seipsum excusare potest quasinolens aut coactus peccaverit ut eam ob causam accusari non mereatur aut damnari Artic. Edward 6. decimus 10. Of Free-will THe condition of man after the fall of Adam is such that he cannot turn and prepare himself by his own natural strength and good works to faith and calling upon God Wherefore we have no power to do good works pleasant and acceptable to God without the grace of God by Christ preventing us that we may have a good will and working with us when we have that good will 11. Of the Justification of man WE are accounted righteous before God Haec non habentur in Reg. Edward 6. Artic. onely for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Iesus Christ by faith and not for our own works or deservings Wherefore that we are justified by faith onely is a most wholesome doctrine and very full of comfort Justificatio ex solâ Fide Jesu Christi eo sensu quo in Homiliâ de justificatione explicatur est certissima saluberrima Christianorum doctrina fie in Reg.

As my father sent me so send I you and one particular of Jurisdiction there expressed Whosoever sins you binde in Earth they are bound in Heaven a sharp and dreadful sentence worse then that of the Sword by so much as the death of the Soul is worse then the death of the Body which in obstinate despisers of that correction doth too certainly follow This power of spiritual censures St. Paul calls
