sake consider'd in themselves but only for the imputed merits of Christ DOCT. VI. That judgement being ended the godly shall immediately be in heaven with Christ and the wicked in hell with the Devil and his Angels MOreover we believe that immediately after that judgement the godly shall follow Christ into heaven and the wicked with the Devils shall be thrust into hell Christ saying unto those Come ye blessed of my Father but to these Goe ye cursed into fire everlasting DOCT. VII That that day shall be most joyfull to the godly and therefore to be desir'd but to the wicked most sad and so intolerable to them even to hear of it SO we believe that last day will be to them who are grafted into Christ most happy and joyfull and that therefore it is beloved wished for by them and so ought to be desired and loved by us but the most unhappy and sad of all to the wicked whence it is no wonder that they hate that day 2 Tim. 4.8 and cannot endure the mention of it DOCT. VIII Errours 1. WE condemn those who deny that Christ is truly and really in his humane body to descend from heaven to the clouds and from thence to return into heaven with the elect but maintain that all this shall be without any mutation of place only by a sort of appearance as they call it and disappearance who are contradicted by sayings of Angels to the Apostles a Acts 1.11 As ye have seen him ascending into heaven so shall he come 2. We dissent from those who teach that works of godlinesse consider'd in themselves are the true cause for which eternall life is given and are the true deserts of the same the Apostle being of the contrary opinion and saying b Rom. 6 2● The gift of God is life eternall Neither do we approve the opinion of the C●iliasts concerning a thousand years wherein after judgement Christ shall converse with his elect in this world who shall live in the delights of the flesh but such as are seemly and shall beget issue but holy and at length be translated into heaven 4. We condemn and abominate their errour who hold that the fire into which the wicked are sent shall be in time extinct so that even all the devils that live happily in the kingdome of God contrary to the expresse words of Christ a Matt. 25.41 Go into eternall fire CHAP XXX Of life Eternall DOCTRINE I. That all shall receive eternall life who by their good works shall have testified that they were truly ingrafted into Christ and believed in Christ THerefore we believe that at last eternall life that is a full and perfect possession of life eternall shall be given in that last day to all who by the evident works of true faith and piety shall be openly declared before all Angels and men most clearly demonstrated and by the sentence of Christ the Iudge be pronounced to have been truly ingrafted into Christ by the holy spirit and so to have believed in God the Father in his Son Iesus Christ and in the holy Ghost to have been living members of the holy Church and to have had communion with all the Saints and to have obained remission of their sins the Lord himself teaching this who saith a Mat. 25 34 c. that he will say unto those that are on his right hand Come ye blessed of my Father enter into the kingdome prepared for you from the foundation of the world For I was an hungred and ye gave me to eat c. DOCT. II. The foregoing doctrine confirmed and that life eternall is given not in consideration of our works but through Christ in whom we are freely elected blessed and made the sons of God FOr in these words the Lord seemeth to have declared unto us that our good works are the evidences of our election blessing adoption and so of right an inheritance but that the cause for which we shall obtain life eternall and the possession of the kingdome of heaven is partly for that even before the foundation of the world that is before we had done any good that kingdome was freely prepared for us through Christ Eph. 1.3 partly for that we a have been blessed by the Father with all spirituall blessing in Christ and so called by grace justified obtained forgivenesse of our sins sanctified and adopted to be the sons of God through the same Christ and regenerated by his spirit whereby we are made coheirs of that kingdome Therefore forasmuch as the Lord will remember works of piety we do not question but he doth the same that it may be manifest to the whole world that we have truly been blessed elected just children of God to whom the inheritance was due according to that of the Apostle If children then heirs but that we are the children of God is declared by regeneration and regeneration by the effects of regeneration which are the works of faith and piety DOCT. III. That as the life of the godly shall be eternall so also the pains and fire of the wicked shall be eternall BUt as we believe that the children of God shall obtain life eternall so also we confesse that hypocrites and all the wicked shall goe into eternall fire never to be extinguish'd Mat. 25.48 and there be tormented for ever when Christ shall openly say Go ye into eternall fire DOCT. IV. That it can neither be express'd nor conceiv'd how happy that eternall life shall be BUt what that life is and after what manner and how great the felicity which is signify'd by the name of the kingdome of heaven we confesse ingenuously with the Apostle that neither eye hath seen it 1 Co● 2.9 nor ear heard it nor hath it entred into the heart of man being a thing greater and of more excellency then that it can be comprehended by human understanding and of such happinesse that greater cannot fall within our desires Therefore we simply believe we who are of Christ we are ruled by his Spirit who depend on his word and who place all our confidence of salvation in him that all shall be most happy and all shine like the Sun in the sight of God Mat. 13.43 1 Cor 11 12. Phil. 1.23 that we shall see God as he is and all live a heavenly and divine life with Christ and his Angels freed from all sin all misery all evil without any more sorrow without fear with out want or desire of any thing because God will be all in all 1 Cor. 15.28 Apoc. 22.3 4 c. and we shall see his face and in that city there shall be no night nor shall there be need of any candle or light of the Sun because the Lord God shall give us light and we shall reign for ever and ever with Christ Iesus our head Spouse Saviour Lord to whom praise honour and glory for evermore Amen FINIS THE CONTENTS OF THE CHAPTERS CHAPTER I.

else unto the water DOCT. IV. That infants being the children of believing parents are to be Baptized WE believe also with all the ancient Church that to the Sacrament of Baptisme are to be admitted not onely those which are of ripe years which repent and confesse their sins and make profession of their faith in Christ but also infants being the children of such parents forasmuch as we are to judge that they also belong unto the Covenant according to the Apostles saying to this purpose a 1 Cor. 7.14 That the children of believing parents are holy especially considering that Christ in no place hath changed Gods commandment made unto Abraham concerning the sealing of the children also of the faithfull and believers with the seal of the Covenant yea more considering that Christ hath said expresly a Matt. 19.14 Suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me for of such is the Kingdome of heaven DOCT. V. How far forth Baptisme is necessarie in the Church and how far forth necessarie for every one unto salvation WE believe that Baptisme is altogether necessarie in the Church as a Sacrament instituted by Christ and so farre forth necessarie that where it is not when it may there we cannot acknowledge the Church of Christ to be But in such manner do we think it necessary for every one unto salvation that yet if it so happen that any one for defect of a Minister and not out of contempt do depart out of this life without Baptisme we do not therefore believe that he is damned and swallowed up of eternall destruction For the children of the faithfull and believers are therefore saved because they are within the Covenant of God and so holy But they which are of ripe years are saved by true faith in Christ which certainly cannot stand together with the contempt of Christs commandments DOCT. VI. That Baptisme once rightly administred ought not again to be repeated WE believe farther that as circumcision was made in the flesh but once onely so Baptisme also which succeeded in the place of Circumcision once duely and rightly administred ought not again to be repeated Now we understand that it is duely and rightly administred when as according to Christs institution first the Doctrine of the Gospel is premised concerning the true God Christ and his office and then men are Baptised with water and that by a lawfull Minister a Matt. 28.19 In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Ghost For Christ also died but once and was buried and we are b Rom. 6.3 4. Baptised into his death and c Col. 2.12 buried with him by Baptisme Neither do we reade that the Apostles ever rebaptised any but onely Paul and these were such as before had a Act. 19.5 not rightly been Baptised DOCT. VII That the power and vertue of Baptisme lasteth for ever ALthough we come unto the Sacrament of Baptisme but once Yet we believe that the thing it self of the Sacrament and the power and vertue thereof lasteth for ever that is our ingrafting into Christ and so the participation of his benefits the washing away of sins and regeneration which every day is more and more perfected in us by the holy Ghost For the Apostle saith that b Ephes 5.26 Christ hath cleansed the Church with the washing of water by the word c 27. that he might present it to himself a glorious Church not having spot or wrinkle d 1 Ioh 1.7 And the bloud of Iesus Christ cleanseth us eyery day from all sin And therefore we think that the faithfull and believers being content with the Sacrament of Baptisme once received ought dayly to be put in mind thereof and recall it to their memorie as also into whom they are Baptized and what God hath conferred upon them by Baptisme and again what they likewise have promised unto God That we may be all every day more and more confirmed in our faith and grow up together in our communion with Christ and be made more studious and diligent in the performing of our dutyes Neither is Baptisme ordained for the remission either of Originall sinne onely or the sinnes of our life past but also for all the sinnes of our whole life As our plucking out of the water is a signe of new life not for one day onely but for all the dayes of our life according to the saying of the Apostle a Rom. c. 4. We are buried with him by Baptisme for ever into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father even so we also should walk for ever in newnesse of life We were but once washed outwardly with water but the bloud of Christ is an everliving spring which dayly washeth and cleanseth us from all sinne DOCT. VIII By whom Baptisme ought to be administred WE believe that by whom the Gospel is preached by the same also ought holy Baptisme to be administred For to whom Christ said a Mark 16.15 Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to the same also he said b Matt. 28.19 Go and teach all nations Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Ghost c 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you DOCT. IX Errours condemned WE therefore condemne all heresies as well old as new which are or have been spread abroad concerning Baptisme contrarie to sound Doctrine either by Seleucus and Hermias which Baptized with fire or the Cerdonians and Marcionites which used another form of words then that which was prescribed by Christ and that in the name of another God then in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy Ghost Those which Baptised in the name of Iohn or any other The Cataphryges which Baptised even the dead together with the Donatists and Anabaptists which rebaptised all that come unto them Those likewise which deny that infants are to be Baptised and those also which deny that Baptisme to be true whereunto there is not added Exorcismes Spittle Salt and other ceremonies which are the meer inventions of men CHAP. XVI Concerning the Lords Supper BY what hath been delivered by us concerning our communion with Christ the word of the Gospel the Sacraments in generall and Baptisme in speciall it may be easily known what our faith and belief is concerning the Lords Supper DOCTRINE I. That the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper is an instrument used by the holy Ghost for the furthering of our communion with Christ and his Church WE believe that the Sacrament of the Supper is not onely a testimonie of our communion with Christ and so with his flesh and bloud and also with the whole Church but also an instrument used by the holy Ghost to confirme and further the same The Apostle saith as much a 1 Co● 10.16 The bread which
