of God contained in the canonicall bookes of the olde and newe Testamēt reuealed by the holy Ghost whom I take for my guide and leader for to dyrect and leade me in this mortall life as the pyller of fyre dyd leade the chyldren of Israell thorowe the wyldernes into the lande of promise That shall be the Lanterne vnto my feete Furthermore I promise from hencefoorth and for the residue of my lyfe to walke and lyue according to that doctrine the best I can possyble hauing the spirite of God who shall assyst and dyrect mee in all my wayes without whome I can doo nothing with which I can doo all thinges insomuch that all shall be to the prayse of the Lorde to the aduauncement of the kyngdome of his sonne and to the edifycation of all the Churche and to the saluation of my soule The which most humbly with all my harte I require of that good father which is aboue in the heauens that his name maye bee in vs and thorowe vs sanctified as hee is holye in him selfe And that his kingdome come so that hee doo raygne perfectlie ouer vs and we maye obey his worde and commaundement That his wyll be done here belowe in earth as it is done by the Angelles aboue in heauen Beseeching him also thorowe Iesus Christ his Sonne our Lorde to geue and admynister vnto mee in this mortall life all thinges necessarie aswell to the Soule as body admynistring vnto me euerie daye the daylye breade of his worde without which my soule can not lyue And because I am a synner by nature corrupte solde vnder sinne not able to doo none other thing but to sinne and that I offende more then there be dayes I beseeche him not to enter into iudgement with mee neyther correcte and punishe me according to my merytes and desertes but mercifullye pardon mee all my offences against him committed as I doo pardon all those which haue offended mee And looke vppon mee not in mee but in the face of his sonne Iesus Christe thorow whose meanes I finde grace and mercy before him and before his righteous iudgement I beseech him alwayes to assist me thorowe his holye spirite by which I may escape the assault and embushments of the world the flesh and of Satan to surmoūt alwayes vanquish their assaults and temptations without being broken or ouercome in any thing That their snares and cords being broken I maye gloriously escape and by that meanes I shall know plainly that bee is the King of Kinges and Lorde ouer all Lordes onely God sage immortal and inuysible altogether mightie strong and glorious vnto whom onelye appertayneth the kyngdome the power and the glorie for euer and euer Amen FINIS 26.

❧ A briefe and cleare Confession of the Christian Fayth Containing An hundreth Articles after the order of the Creede of the Apostles Made and declared by Iohn Gardiner Translated out of French into English by Iohn Brooke of Asshe next Sandwitch An. 1577. Rom. 10. ¶ The beliefe of the hart iustifieth but to confesse with the mouth maketh a man safe Imprinted at London for Edward Wight and are to be sold at his shop at the litle North doore of Paules at the signe of the Gun. 1579. ❧ To the Right Honorable Syr William Cecill Knight Baron of Burgley Knight of the Honorable order of the Garter Master of her Highnesse Wardes and Liueries one of the Lordes of her Maiesties priuy Counsell and Lorde high Treasoror of England REading this small litle Volume fyrst written in French and collected by Maister Iohn Gardiner right honorable and perceiuing the same in my simple iudgement vnder a poore habite and litle showe to beare and importe great and waighty effect finding also therin such singuler ground of profound learning and rare wisdome and therewithall such firme approbations and inexpugnable defences with authorities of holy writ I thought it no lesse then needefull and nothing more then necessary to doo what in me mightlye to make the same obuious vsuall and familyer vnto my brethren of this Realme by translating the same into our mother tongue The which thing hauing once perfourmed and finished according to my poore talent and sclender skill although I doo not doubt to haue followed myne Authour directlye and truly in sence and exposition without corruption or abuse yet finding in my selfe such imperfections of learning such barrennes and want of fine Phrase and choise wordes wherwith to haue garnished the same vnneathes I durst of my selfe or in myne owne name launch foorth my silly barke into the troublesom waues not doubting saile she neuer so sure true but somtimes shee shal be countermet with churlishe byllowes and puffed at with outragious blastes and violent tempestes The force wherof more safely to defend and withstand being loth to leaue the same in such obscurenesse and secrecy as I found it whereof no Christian man ought to be ignorant I imagined with my selfe to seeke to ancor in your harborough being very desirous that this my vnsmoothed and roughe hewen workemanshippe might haue free passage and safe conduct vnder your Honors fauorable protection and defēce In which purpose and pretence being abashed and more then halfe dismaied by the occasions aforesaid yet grewe I in double hart and tooke treble encouragement that the authoritye of the matter it selfe would more then counteruaile the rest in your Honors fauorable acceptaunce But when I further considered wherof I should craue you to be a supporter namely of the Christian fayth for so the Booke is intituled and contayneth an hundreth Articles of the Christian fayth all fearefull doubtes expelled assured truste willed mee to abyde constant in my purpose For as to your Honorable tytle Wisdome hath annexed her enlargement of Authoritye so to that Authoritye godlye zeale hauing adioined a feruencie of true fayth and to these also humilitye of spirite hauing coupled franke curtesye and beneuolence towardes all These I saye right Honorable haue made me so bolde to craue that this my small peece of trauaile whatsoeuer maye receyue that hope hath promysed and with my good will would gladlye deserue being no wayes able excepte by prayer to almyghtye GOD on whome as dutye byndeth I shall not cease contynually to call for your Lordshippes long preseruation of lyfe and much encrease of his moste comfortable blessinges Your Honors dayly Orator Iohn Brooke ❧ Iohn Gardiner vnto all the litle French Church of Strasburg assembled together for the Gospell in the name of Iesus Christ grace peace and mercie of the Father through Iesus Christe our Lorde onely Sauior and redéemer in the vertue of the holy Spirite be geuen vnto you eternally Amen WHen I consider the cleare lightes the great ingenyous and sharpe wittes which the Lorde in our time hath placed in his Church déerely beloued brethren and welbeloued in Iesus Christe who neuer cease day nor night to aduaunce the glorye of God and to promote the kingdome of Iesus Christe his sonne aswell by their wordes as writing of whome I am not worthy to be a Disciple I am ashamed and feare lest I be iudged raish to put my hand to the pen after them and chiefly for to entreat of thinges so litle and common the which they haue entreated of in theyr Catechismes from the beginning But the holy desire of you and of manye other good brethren who hauing heard openly the reading of this litle Treatise instantly requiring to be pertakers haue incited yea constrained mee to do it with the great desire that I haue of the aduauncement of the glory of God and of the health of all my brethren Knowing that God would haue al the world to come vnto the knowledg of the trueth and by that meanes to be saued I know also that for the building of the Lordes tabernacle made by Moyses euery one brought that he had some golde and siluer others precious stones others linnen cloth goates and buckes skinnes others wood and common stones and all of it was set a worke So I estéeme for the building of this house of the Lorde which is his Church euery one may and ought to bring that that he hath some more some lesse according to the tallentes which the Lorde of the house hath geuen them I wil content my self to carry litle common stones for this building and do hope that the Master worke men will not reiect my seruice nor my litle stones so that they be fitte for the building as I hope they shal be God ayding me The poore wydowe which did put into the box but two litle peeces of siluer was not reiected nor despised of the Lorde but was as much praysed as the great ritch men which gaue a great deale more then she All that being well considered hath mooued me to set forth this litle treatise in this tyme chiefly in which the Lorde hath the siue in his hand to sifte examine and repurge his Church in which it should be verye good in my iudgment that euerye mans fayth should be knowen and chieflye of those which make profession of the Gospell for to teach others as are the Doctors and Ministers of the word that the false Prophets and Hypocrites which doo bowe theyr shoulders and leane theyr eares vnto false papisticall doctrine of Antechriste should be knowne driued and chased a way from the good faythful For that cause I am contēt that my faith in which I will lyue and dye thorow the grace of the Lord be knowen of al the world Now this litle Treatise shall haue much neede of a second which shal geue the reason of that that this here confesseth for it is one thing to confesse the fayth

and other vertues gifts and goodnes which the eternall father hath put in him The .lxix. Article I Beléeue that the holy Fathers Patriarkes Prophetes and all other faythfull and good people which haue gone before vs and are dead in faith dyd knowe farre of him that shoulde come to wete Christe by the worde and fayth and did receyue asmuch and the verie same which wee receyue nowe by the Sacramentes who also were of the verye same Churche fayth and lawe of which we are Christians as wee are and haue vsed the same Sacramentes in figure which we vse in déede The .lxx. Article I Beléeue that vnto that holy Table ought to be admytted but onelie the faythfull the true contryte and penitent and all that are vnworthy to be reiected for feare least they defyle contamynate the holy meates which the Lorde geueth not but vnto this domesticall and faithfull I call vnworthy all Infydels Idolaters blasphemers contempners of God Heretikes and all people which make sectes for to breake the vnitie of the Churche all periured persones all those which are rebellious against their fathers and mothers and their superiors all seditious persons quarrellers fighters whoremongers théeues rauishers couetous droonkerdes gluttons and generallye all those which leade a slaunderous and dyssolute lyfe Such manner of people haue no parte nor portion in the kingdom of God therfore they ought to be reiected and put out of the Church with whome it is not lawfull to frequent eate drinke or contract allyaunce except it bee peraduenture to win and leade them to repentaunce The .lxxi. Article I Beléeue that the popishe Masse is not nor can not be the holy Supper of the Lorde But a méere inuention of lying and wicked men altogether contrarie vnto the same as the nyght to the daye Beliall to Christe The which shall be knowen of all men more clearelie then the noone day by the conference and collation made betwéene the institution of that Supper recyted and written by the Euangelistes and chieflye by the Apostle Saint Paul and the celebration of the Masse Therefore it is not a remembraunce of the true sacrifice that is to saye of the death and Passion of Christe as the holye Supper is But a renouncing of the same for so much as it attrybuteth that which belongeth vnto the onelie blood of Christ shedde vpon the crosse to wete satisfaction purgation and remission of sinnes with collation of grace and maketh vs to worship the creature in steede of the Creator a péece of breade in stéede of Iesus Christe our onely Lord sauiour and redéemer The .lxxii. Article I Beléeue the thirde marke of the Church which is the Ecclesiastical discipline to be greatly profitable yea necessary in the Catholike church for the consolatiō of the good correctio of the wicked The which also I receyue submyt my selfe to the same knowing that it is the ordinaunce of Christe in the Gospell The which also was practised by the Apostles in the primatiue Church that all might be done honestlie and in good order which is an honest and necessarie thing in euery Congregation The .lxxiii. Article I Beléeue the power to bynde and loose excommunicate and absolue which we call commonly the keies of the Churche to bee geuen of God not vnto one man or two or to any particularly but vnto al the Church that is to saye to all the faythfull and beléeuing in Christe not for to destroye waste or consume but for to buylde vp and aduaunce it altogether Therefore I saye and confesse that the excommunication or absolution of the same ought not nor can not be geuen at the appetyte or wyll of some perticularlie but by the consent of all the Churche or at least of the greatest best and holyest parte of the same congregated and assembled in the name of Christ with prayers The .lxxiiii. Article I Beléeue that excōmunication executed duelye according as Iesus Christe hath declared and commaunded in his Gospell to bee of so great aucthoritie power strength that it can shutte men out of heauen So that all those which are by lawfull excommunication reiected and put out of the Church mylitant they shall be also reiected and put from the Church tryumphant which is in heauen except they repent that is a sharpe sworde for to c●tte away the rotten members of the mysticall body of Christe which is his Churche A key for to shutte vp the heauens against the wicked and a rodde to chastice correct them The which yet neuerthelesse is not made for to confounde them but as a spyrituall medicine for to amend relieue heale and to set them vp againe frō which they are fallen The .lxxv. Article I Beléeue that that excommunicaon which is the last staffe of the Churche ought not nor can not be cast against any person which first hath not receyued and made profession of the faith and christian Religion As also it cannot be pronounced for euerie small thing as are debtes or other lyke thinges Nor also be executed against all sinners but onely against publycke rebellious and obstynate sinners towards whome the worde of God and the brotherly correction commaūded by Christ in the Gospel taketh no place Wherfore all those do greatly abuse that staffe which do excommunicate the Christians for smal things with out hauing suffred the brotherly correction In lyke manner also those which do excommunicate the Iewes Turkes Heathens other Infidels yea also the Flyes and other brute beastes wylling to cast put out of the christian Church all that which neuer was in it The .lxxvi. Article I Beléeue besides the same that the vnitie of spyrite wyll peace concorde and loue that is to saye true loue and brotherly delection amiable the mutuall supporting the one towardes the other is also one of the markes and signes of the true calholyke Church of the faithfull childrē of God by which they are known to be of the schoole number of the Disciples of Iesus Christ And we must not glory of the tytle of Christian or of the fayth saying I beléeue I beléeue except we haue that loue peace charitie and true vnitie of the harte together agréeing the one with the other in all good works For the true faith neuer goeth without these things by which also it declareth manifesteth it self vnto al. These are the signs marks of the true christian church to which she is bound tyed and not to a certaine place tyme or persons And there she is perfect where these markes are founde and exercised and not otherwise that if one of that fayle then it is not perfect And although that that total perfection can be founde for the estate of this present world in the Church myllytant yet the faulte ought to be acknowledged before the Lorde and to endeuor to
