I most firmly receive and embrace the Apostolical and Ecclesiastical * 5 Traditions and all other Customs and Constitutions of the same Church † † Here is begun the principal part of the Roman Creed and the real sense and import of this first Article is I believe in the Pope 2. Also I admit the holy Scripture * 6 in that sense which the holy Mother Church hath held and holdeth to whom it belongs to judge of the true sense and interpretation of the holy Scriptures nor will I ever receive or interpret them but according to the unanimous consent of the Fathers 3. I profess also that there are seven true and proper Sacraments of the new Law instituted by Jesus Christ our Lord for the salvation of Mankind although all are not necessary to each one to wit Order Baptism Comfirmation Eucharist Pennance Extreme Vnction Matrimony and these all give grace and of these Baptism Confirmation and Order cannot be reiterated without Sacriledge 4. I also receive and admit all received and approved Rites of the Catholick Church in the solemn administrations of all the abovesaid Sacraments 5. I also embrace and receive all and several the things * 7 which have been defined and declared in the sacred and holy Synod of Trent concerning Original sin and Justification 6. I also profess that in the Mass there is offered to God a true proper and propitiatory sacrifice for the Living and the Dead and that in the most holy Sacrament of the Eucharist is contained truly really and substantially the Body and Blood together with the Soul and Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ and there is made a perfect change of the whole substance of the Bread into his Body and of the whole substance of the Wine into his Blood which change the Catholick Church calleth Transubstantiation 7. I confess also that whole and entire Christ and the true Sacrament is received under one only species of Bread 8. I constantly hold that there is a Purgatory and that souls there detained are holpen * 8 by the suffrages of the faithful 9. Likewise that the Saints reigning with Christ are to be worshiped and invocated and that they offer prayers * 9 for us to God and that their reliques are to be worshiped 10. I most firmly assert that the Images of Christ the Virgin Mary and of the other Saints are to be had and kept and duty of honour and worship to be given them 11. I also affirm that the power of Indulgences was left in the Church by Christ and that the use of them is most conducive to the salvation * 10 of the Christian people 12. The holy Catholick and Apostolick Church of Rome * 11 I acknowledge to be the Mother and Mistress of all Churches and I vow swear and promise true Obedience to the Bishop of Rome as successor of B. Peter Prince of the Apostles and Vicair of Jesus Christ 13. Also all and whatsoever other things delivered by way of Tradition defined and declared by the holy Canons and the General Councils and chiefly by the sacred and holy Synod of Trent * 12 I undoubtedly receive and profess and together all contrary things and whatsoever heresies by the Church damned rejected and accursed I also damn reject and accurse 14. This true Catholick Faith without which no man can be saved * 13 which at this present I freely profess and truly hold I the same N. do promise vow and swear most constantly God assisting to retain and confess entire and enviolate to the very last gasp of life and to procure as much as shall lie in me that the same be held taught and preached by all my inferiours and by those who are committed to my care and charge So God help me and these holy Gospels of God Farther It is is our will † † This new and voluntary Gospel and Creed having no other foundation than the will and work of Man will dissolve of it self as all other works of men however glorious for a time that these present Letters be read in our Apostolical Chancery according to the custom and that they may be more open to all they shall be writ in the Quintern of our said Chancery and also imprinted Therefore it shall be lawful to no man

God yet would there still remain a question what part of that written Word is that Gospel which Christ and his Apostles preached as the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Vnum necessarium the Only way of happiness Therefore I shall make choice of another way of proof short easie and clear and that resolveth the Question so home as to demonstrate what is the true Gospel in the strictest sense to wit what is the only way to Happiness preached by Christ and his Apostles Note well therefore I intreat your diligence that by this Word Gospel in the Text is precisely meant that necessary way which Christ and his Apostles taught to salvation For so much Gospel must needs be sufficient and no more Gospel can be imposed as necessary either by Paul Pope or Angel To shew this way of Salvation this Primitive and everlasting Gospel we need presuppose or demand no more of the Romists at present than to grant that the Word of Christ and of his Apostles recorded in Scripture is truly to be taken and embraced as the proper Word of God This being granted our method and design will no way engage us to dispute whether there be any traditional Word of God on Earth or no. For In the first place it must needs be evident that the necessary way to salvation which Christ preached was no other than that way of repentance of which it is said Mat. 4.17 Jesus began to preach and to say Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand This Repentance with the good tydings of the Kingdom of Heaven promised to it is the Primitive Gospel in the true proper and precise use of that word 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Gospel And lest you may suspect me of ignorance or novelty in the application of that word I will shew you that this is the phrase of the Spirit of God in the written Gospel it self And first in the chapter already cited Mat. 4.23 this Repentance is termed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Evangelium regni the Gospel of the Kingdom for it is there said Jesus went about all Galilee teaching in their synagognes and preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom that is Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand as in the 17. verse The Evangelist Mark is very plain 1.14 After that John was put in prison Jesus came into Galilee preaching the Gospel of the kingdom of God what was that Gospel it follows and saying The time is fulfilled and the kingdom of God is at hand repent You see the Gospel of Christ is concluded in that repentance to which he promised the kingdom The same was the Gospel of his Apostles for of them when first sent out to preach the Gospel it is said Mark 6.12 And they went out and preached that men should repent And this repentance is again formally termed the Gospel Luke 9.6 And they departed and went thorough the towns preaching the Gospel Even so that Gospel which Christ immediately before his ascension commanded his Apostles to preach Mark 16.15 Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every Creature is nothing else than what is explained Luke 24.47 That repentance and remission of sins be preached in his name among all Nations Therefore let this Proposition both in substance of import and in propriety of expression stand clear and irrefragable to wit The Gospel which Christ and his Apostles preached is that repentance which Christ himself preached and the Apostles in his name It remains then to shew in what that repentance consisted for that and only that is the necessary way to salvation the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the Primitive Gospel the Touch-stone of adulterate Gospels and their anathemiz'd Preachers Men or Angels according to our Text. Peace and comfort to all them that love and believe in Jesus Christ For he hath left the Repentance which he himself preached and commanded his Apostles to preach to all Nations so plainly opened in the Testament of his holy Gospel that it is impossible for any man to read the Gospel or any notable part thereof or to hear it read but he must clearly discover and understand what repentance it is to which the Kingdom is promised For what Sermon of Christ is there what Discourse what Parable what Sentence or Answer yea what Page or almost Verse is there in the whole New Testament which doth not sufficiently proclaim that Whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ and observeth his Commandments is heir of his Kingdom This therefore according to the legal Proclamation of Christ is true Christian repentance the Gospel of the Kingdom the necessary and only way of Salvation which Christ and his Apostles preached to wit to believe Jesus to be the Christ the Son of God and to keep his Commandments Thus the parts of Repentance are two Faith and Charity Belief and Love These consummate the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 the perfect cure and reparation of man Wherefore Christ whensoever he solemnly acted the Physitian of the whole Man of Body and Soul you 'l find that to believe in his God-head and sin no more was the beginning and end of the whole cure Dost thou believe was the Therapeutick part Sin no more was the prophylactick Yea the first was the design and inference of all his works the other of all his words For all his wonderful deeds were to perswade men Faith that he was the Son of God and all his admirable Sermons were to perswade men Charity that is to keep the Commandments But here we are to observe how these two parts of Evangelical Repentance mutually include or infer one another To believe Jesus to be the Son of God is the sum of Faith and this if real and solid certainly begetteth charity which is the fulfilling of the Commandments And therefore Gal. 5.6 it is said Faith in Christ worketh by love And 1 Tim. 1.5 Charity the end of the Commandment is put the off-spring of Faith unfeigned Thus true Faith infers Charity as the Sun ushers in light Wherefore Gregory the Great said well Quantum credimus tantum diligimus As much as we believe so much we love On the other side Charity necessarily includes or presupposeth Faith For the first Commandment and consequently the first object of Charity is to believe in God that is to have no other Gods beside the true God which is Jesus with the Father and Holy Ghost And 1 Job 3.23 We have confidence towards God because we keep his commandments And this is his commandment that we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ And the Apostle James bids us shew our faith by our works for faith without works is dead that is is false adulterate and feigned for such men say they have faith and so boast to live but the unity of their works declares the fiction of their hearts Hereby we know that we know him if we keep his commandments 1 Job 2.3 What then must he that hath
