yet of vs at this tyme inuented but it is euē the same olde baptisme that Christe hath instituted wherein the Apostles and the primitiue church and all christians thereafter hitherto are baptised Haue we nowe thesame baptisme the first olde and as in Simbole standeth Catholice that is the hole christen church and are euen baptised in the same then belonge we surely in thesame old and hole christen church which with vs together we with her together come of one maner of baptisme is concernyng baptisme no difference Baptisme is the chiefe first sacramēt without the which al other be nothinge as thei must cōfesse thē selues Therfore cā not the papistes with the trueth cal vs a new church or heretikes sence we be children of the old baptisme as wel as the Apostles thē selues the hole Christianite Eph. iiij One maner of baptisme Supper of the Lorde Secondarely wil nomā denye this That we haue the blessed Supper of the Lorde lyke and euen as Christe hym self hath instituted And the Apostles there after and the hole Christianite hath vsed So that we eate and drynke with the vniuersall Christianite of on borde and receyue with them one maner of olde sacrament and haue therein nothing renewed nor channged Wherefore we be with them one maner of Church or as S. Paull saith i. Cor .xi. one body whiche eate of one breade drynke of one drynk i. Cor. xi Vvherfore the Papistes can not call vs heretikes or newe Churche excepte they muste call Christe the Apostles and the vniuersall Christianite heretykes before euen as they do in dede For we be with the olde Churche one Church in one Sacrament Kayes Thyrdely can noman denye That we haue the right olde kayes and vse them none otherwyse then to bynde to lose synnes that be all agaynste Goddes commaundement as Christe hath instituted them as the Apostles and the vniuersall Christianite haue vsed them hetherto And haue also one kaye vse with the olde Church wherfore we be the same olde Church or at the least in it For we make no newe keye nether make we newe lawes nether do we there with exclude kynges Princes and their tēporall powers But onely shutte the synners out into the kyngdome of heauen like as the olde Churche hath done by the commaundement of the Lord where in the Papistes do falsely belye vs yea blaspheme the olde churche the Apostles and Christe hym selfe in vs. Office of preachynge Fourthely can noman denye That we haue the office of Preachinge the word of God syncerely rychely earnestly teachinge dryuynge the same without any maner of addiciōs of new propre mānes tradiciōs Euē as Christ hath cōmaunded And as the Apostles the vniuersal christianite haue done we inuēte no newelties But we hold vs abyde by the olde worde of God as the old church hath hadde it Therfore be we with the same the right old Churche as one Church that teacheth beleueth one Goddes word Vvherfore the Papistes agayne blaspheme Christ hym self the Apostles And the vniuersal Christianite whē they calle vs new heretikes For they fynd nothinge by vs but the olde fasshion of the olde Church that we be lyke vnto the same and be with her one Church Symbolum or Cred of thapostles Fyfthely cā nomā denye That we hold beleue syng cōfesse The Crede or Symbolum of the Apostles the old faith of the olde Church in al thinges lyke with her not makyng or addynge any new thinge there vnto Vvherby we perteyne in the old Church and be one with her Therfore let not this pece also be imputed vnto vs of the Papistes with the trueth as heresie and newe Church For he that beleueh and holdeth with the old Church the same is of the olde Church Praye● Sixtely nomā can denye this That we haue one lyke prayer with the old church the same Pater noster not inuentinge any new or other And synge euē the same Psalmes with one accord of mouthe hart laudinge thākyng God lyke as Christe hath taught the same and as the Apostles and the old Church haue vsed the same And commaunded vs to followe the same exāple So that the Papistes agayne for this can not call vs heretikes or newe Church but they must fyrst of all blaspheme Christ hym selfe with his deare olde Churche Worldly power Seuently can noman denye That we with the olde Church bothe teache and affirme That men ought to honoure the temporall Powers and not to curse them nor yet compell them to kysse the fete of the bysshoppe of Rome Whiche also we haue not inuented of newe For S. Peter .ij. Pet. ij curseth those that should newly inuēte and cra●tely do suche thinges ij Pet. ij And S. Paull Roma xiij is on oure syde Ro. xiij And also the olde and vninersall Christianite So that in this thynge also we may not be called newe as the Papistes blaspheme God hym selfe in vs But we be perteyne in the olde holy Apostolike Churche as the right chyldrē and membres of the same For we haue taught tru obediēce allwayes to be done vnto oure hyer powers whether it be to Emperour or Prince whiche also we haue done oureselues and haue prayed for them hartely Matrimony Eyghtely can noman denye That we ●aude and pr●yse Matrimony as a Godly blessed and acceptable creation and ordinaunce for the frute of the body and agaynst the fylthynes of the flesshe And haue not of newe inuetēted the same by oure selues neither is the vse there of newly by vs imagined muche lesse as of newe teathers forbidden But euen as God from the beginnynge hath created and Christe confirmed The Apostles and the olde Churche haue honoured and taught the same euen in the same olde rule of Goddes institutynge haue we abyden And be therein agreable with the olde Churche yea and right kynd membres of the same So that men may see howe the Papistes agayn carnally laye vnto vs ne we fanglednes Persecution for the wordes sake Nynthly can noman denye That we haue euen the same sufferinge as S. Peter sayeth whiche oure brethren haue in the worlde we be persecuted in al parties yea slayne drowned hāged all maner of tormentes is layde vnto vs for the wordes sake it gothe with vs euen as with the olde church And be in this point aboue measure lyke vnto the same So that we may well saye Vve be the right old church or at the least her comparteners lyke fellowes in sufferinge For we do not inuente suche thinges of newe but we fele it well ynough Yea we be euē as the olde churche is also lyke vnto the Lord Christ hym self vppon the crosse There stād before the crosse Annas and Caiphas with the Priestes and blaspheme the Lord. Also besydes that they haue crucified hym Euen lyke as the bysshoppe of Rome Cardinalles and monkes
