doeth in many places testifie and declare Abraham beleeued God it was imputed to him for righteousnesse Which sentence the Apostle in his Epistle to the Romans namely in his fourth Chapter vseth for his theme or principall ground-worke to his whole discourse of this matter there by him handeled The author of the Epistle to the Hebrewes affirmeth that all the holy fathers and Patriarches in the olde time were in this sort iustified by faith In the Gospel after Iohn it is in sundry places by expresse words saide that so many as beleeue on the name of Christ shal be saued shall haue life euerlasting and shall neuer come into condemnation The Apostle Peter also witnesseth the same saying To him euen Iesus Christ geue the Prophets witnesse that through his name all that beleeue in him shall receiue remission of sinnes In another place also Paul Silas to the same effect said to the Iailers whom they conuerted Beleeue in the Lord Iesus Christ and thou shalt be saued Also to the Romans out of the prophet Abacuc The iust shall liue by his faith Againe The righteousnes of God by the faith of Jesus Christ is vnto al and Vpon all that beleeue Againe all are iustified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Iesus whome God hath set foorth to be a reconciliation through faith in his bloud And againe Therefore we conclude that a man is iustified freely without the workes of the lawe Yea in the thirde to the Galatians in the second to the Ephesians the third to the Philippians and the thirde to Titus it moste manifestly appeareth and is moste plainly shewed that by faith onely in Christ without any wo●kes of our owne eyther coucurring or furthering we are freely iustified ⸪ Thomas Newtonus Cestreshyrius FINIS A TABLE OF THE Titles of this booke to be found by the number of the Page as followeth 1 WHat the true triall and examination of a Man 's owne selfe is and how generally necessarie to all true Christians 6 The examination triall of our owne selues must first begin at the consideratiō of our own corrupt nature 13 Whosoeuer will truely trye profitably examine himselfe must diligently consider his promise made made at Baptisme how well in ech point he answereth the same 26 No better way for the true tryall and examining of our selues than by diligent and exact consideration of our deedes wordes thoughts by the precise rule of the Law of God 169 Of Repentance Contrition and Mortification 177 Of Faith And how all true penitent sinners are againe iustified through faith in Christ Jesu FINIS LONDON Printed by Iohn Windet at the signe of the White Beare in Adling streate neer Bayenards Castell 1587. 1.

Saraes wombe Neyther did he doubt of the promise of God through vnbeliefe but was strengthened in the fayth and gaue glorie to GOD being fully assured that hee which had promised was also able to doe it and therefore it was imputed to him for righteousnesse c. Hereby may euery one easily perceiue that faith vndoubtedly beleeueth that those thinges shall be perfourmed and through the goodnesse and power of God be brought to passe which otherwise seeme neuer possible to bee performed that faith doth alwayes looke into the promises and power of God and finally that faith is an assured certaine vndoubted and inuincible perswasion conceiued of the goodnesse and power of God whereby this glorie is ascribed attributed and entitled to God that hee both will and also can saue vs. All which are signified in that vsuall and accustomed fourme of confession which euerye one priuately vndertaketh and pronounceth for himselfe saying I beleeue in God For in these fewe wordes is set foorth and contayned the whole summe and signification of fayth Nowe heare and marke in fewe wordes howe thou art iustified by fayth Euen as the Apostle teacheth vs that Abraham was iustified by fayth without workes and that his fayth and sure perswasion of Gods goodnesse and power was imputed to him for righteousnesse so must thou make thy reckoning whosoeuer thou bee that acknowledgest thy selfe a greeuous sinner and that thou art guiltie of the manifolde breache of Gods law and that thou hast no good workes of thine owne to oppose and set against the seueritie of Gods iudgment that thou likewise and in the same sorte shalt bee iustified by faith without workes as the Apostle in that Chapter euidently and plainely testifieth He sayth there also further that it is not written for him onely that it was imputed to him for righteousnesse but also for vs to whom it shal be imputed for righteousnesse which beleeue in him that raysed vp Jesus our Lorde from the dead who was deliuered to death for our sinnes and is risen againe for our iustification This therefore is required at thy hand seein thou hast no manner of helpe in thy selfe whereby to obtayne thy saluation eyther by thine owne workes or any others that thou conceaue a sure and vndoubted fayth and a stedfast and firme perswasion of the goodnesse and power of God and that thou be fully perswaded and throughly assured in thy conscience that God the father will receiue thee againe into fauour that he will pardon forgiue thee thy sinnes and that he will iustifie and make thee righteous for his sonne Iesus Christ as he by his owne expresse words by his holy Prophets and last of all by the same his beloued sonne hath graciously promised For if from the bottome of thy heart thou vnfaynedly beleeue the promises of God touching this matter made vnto the holy fathers of olde be thou assured that thou art in the kings high way to iustification and saluation These promises haue euer from the beginning of the worlde hitherto beene euidently continued and shall to the worldes end be most faithfully and truely perfourmed Immediately after the transgression and fall of our first parentes Adam and Eue this promise of Christ was made vnto them when as the Lorde spake vnto the serpent I will put ●nmitie betweene thee and the woman and betweene thy seede and her seede he shall breake thine head Afterwarde he spake vnto Abraham saying In thy seede shall all Nations of the earth be blessed Which promise is excellently expounded by the Apostle to signifie and to be meant of Christ This promise was likewise made vnto Dauid that of his seede and posteritie Christ the Sauiour of the worlde should be borne Many others of the Prophetes besides did most clearely and manifestly prophesie and foretell of Christes comming and of righteousnesse by him onely to bee obtayned Isaiah in his 53. Chapter after manie notable speeches of Christs humiliation death hath lastly these wordes Hee shall see fruite of the trauayle of his soule and shall bee satisfied by his knowledge shall he iustifie manie for hee shall beare their iniquities To be shorte manie figures signes and types acertayned insinuated and represented vnto mens mindes those thinges which were to be done finished by Christe for our iustification the brasen serpent was set vpon a poale in the wildernesse and sundrie sacrifices by the Israelites vsed were figures of Christ and foreshewed both his comming in the fleshe his death which hee shoulde suffer for our instification Now that thou maiest knowe how for Christ and in Christ our sinnes are pardoned and forgiuen vs and righteousnes imputed vnto vs thou must looke into his death which hee suffered to pacifie and satisfie the wrath of God the father for our sinnes This singular benefite and vnspeakable act of Christe together with the most soueraigne vertue and efficacie of the same is in many places both of the olde Testament and of the new notably described For this his death and passion was figured and foreshewed by the types and sacrifices before expressed This death and passion of our Sauiour and redeemer Christe was most excellently pithily and cleerely set out and foretolde by the Prophet Isaiah in the Chapter afore recited And Christ sayth himselfe This is the bloud of the new Testament which is shed for you and for manie for the remission of sinnes By the death and bloudshed of Iesus Christ we are sayed in many places of scripture to be sanctified and clensed from our sinnes In an other place also the Apostle speaking of Christ sayth He gaue himselfe for vs to be an offering and a sacrifice c. In this sort therefore and after this manner doth our heauenly father being pacified and pleased with vs through the death of Christ forgiue and pardon our sinnes and imputeth vnto vs his righteousnesse But thou wilt saye howe knowe I whether this merite of Christe this remission of sinnes and this gift and imputation of righteousnesse for Christ be beneficiall profitable and applyable to mee or no For we must euer stande in feare and doubt least wee be excluded from the participation of those so vnestimable benefites as Christ brought and wrought But to answere thee in this case and because thou shalt not be vnfurnished of a stayed perswasion herein be thou thus assured that the worde of God doeth most plainly direct and point thee to sundry places and alledgeth vnto thee manifolde textes and reasons whereby thou mayst vndoubtedly knowe that thy sinnes are forgiuen thee for Christs sake if thou doest earnestly repent thee of thy wickednesse and withall beleeue that God the father for Christ his sonne will receiue thee into fauour and forgiue thee thy sinnes in this thy beleeuing be thou sure thou shalt obtaine pardon and remission of all thy sinnes and offences which the scripture
this cōmeth often so to passe as by example we will shewe ¶ If thou haue corrupted anye wares or any other thing which thy neighbour is to buy and then sell thē vnto him for good first of all thou knowest that thou herein hast sinned against the ix Cōmandement which forbiddeth thee to giue false witnesse But if thou diddest it with an intent and meaning to rake and scrape a priuate gaine vniustly to thy selfe with the losse and hinderance of an other thou art therein guiltie of the breach of the viii Commandement whereby is forbidden all theft If furthermore in this behalfe thou haue deceiued anie that is thy superiour or that is linked to thee in bloud as thy Father or thy Mother the Magistrate the Minister of the Church thy kinseman c. therein hast thou transgressed the fifth Commaundement of honouring Father and Mother To be short if this circumstance do also concurre that this cra●tie practise were by thee doone on the Sabbaoth day then hast thou heerein incurred the displeasure of Almightie God for prophaning and not sanctifying the Sabbath day Last of all it may bee that in this bargayning and selling some such woordes might passe from thee as might make thee further guiltie For if thou swearest vainely and without cause with an intent meaning to auouch any thing that thou wouldest haue to be beleeued then art thou therein guiltie of the thirde commaundement Thou shalt not take the name of the Lorde thy God in vaine ¶ Thirdly we shall doe well in the examining and dicussing of thy actions to giue thee charge circumspectly to consider euerie particular circūstance to wit the time the place the person the cause the end the maner the instrument c. No man wil denie but that the offence is farre greater hainouser which is committed on the Sabbath daye or at such time as all men for some publike calamitie are in a generall heauines againe when it is committed in the sight and face of many honest and graue persons furthermore when it is doone by or against any man in high authoritie moreouer when no manner of alluring occasion went afore to drawe or mooue thee to that euill Therefore we may not slightly passe ouer howe much and how greatly these circumstances doe aggrauate and augment thy fault 4 Fourthly it standeth thee vpon moreouer often and many times to consider with thy selfe and plainely to confesse that thou canst neuer call to memorie all thy sinnes committed and againe that thou canst neuer exactly ynough iudge ●ow greeuous detestable those be which doe alreadie come to thy remembraunce For truely and diuinely hath the Prophet set downe who can vnderstand his faults O clense me from my secret faultes For so standeth thy case that euen where thou least thinkest thou there sinnest most greeuously And the thinges which thou thinkest well and iustlie done are in the sight of God and before the tribunall seate of the highe iudge vncleane vnrighteous and de●ectrue And therefore the Prophet Isaiah cryeth out thus We haue been all as an vncleane thing and al our righteousnesse is as a filthy clout Seeing therefore the case thus standeth it is thy part and dutie plainely to confesse that much ignoraunce remayneth in thee and that the same is in thee a great sinne for the which vnlesse God in mercy do pardon thee hee may hurle thee headlong into eternall damnation 5 Fiftly thou must consider that there is cause ynough to condemne and pronounce thee guiltie for that thou hast not done those good workes which in the lawe are commaunded For looke how many sinnes in euerie particular commaundement are forbidden so many good workes in euery commaundement are commaunded To euery sinne there ought to answere his contrarie and that is some good worke ¶ Now if thou throughly examine thy conscience thou shalt soone espy that thou hast not perfourmed no not the least part and portion of those thinges which the lawe of God requireth at thy handes yea if thou narrowly search euery corner of thy selfe thou shalt finde that either thou hast fulfilled and perfourmed nothing at all or if thou hast perfourmed anye thing yet shalt thou finde it to be vnperfect corrupt and with some manner of contagion infected For all our obedience is maymed lame and vnperfect Wherefore thou must say as Christ hath taught vs all Although we had done all those things that are commanded vs. yet we are vnprofitable seruauntes Againe The wisedome of the flesh is enimitie against God for it is not subiect to the lawe of God neyther in deede can bee Againe in the 7. Chapter I knowe that in mee that is in my flesh dwelleth no good thing for to will is present with me but I finde no meanes to perfourme that which is good And I delight in the lawe of God concerning this inner man but I see an other lawe in my members rebelling against the lawe of my minde and leading me cap●i●e vnto the lawe of sinne which is in my members 6 Sixtly thou must cast in thy mind to consider and record the paines and punishmentes which God threatneth and inflicteth vpon those that disobey and transgresse his commandements Of these paines punishmentes and plagues some be corporall and externall some spirituall and internall Of the first sort are barrainesse and steriliti● of the earth hunger and dearth dissentions and warres diseases pestilence banishmentes shipwrackes inundations and ouerflowings stormes calamities burninges c. Of the latter sort are ignoraunce of the scriptures famine of the woorde of God blindnesse of the minde incredulitie and vnbeliefe induration or hardening of the heart deliuerie and giuing vp into a reprobate sense c. A great beadroll of plagues are reckoned vp in the 28. of Deuteronomie But when it pleaseth him the Lorde can and will send many mo than are there expressed For hee daily prepareth and maketh readie newe scourges whips for disobedient men eue● as they dayly commit newe sinnes and offences For alas what miserie doe wee nowe day by day tast and proue what daungers What diseases What other incommodities which as it is to bee thought were not so much as once knowen by the very bare names vnto men in the olde men nor so much as once by any meanes spoken of And withall thou shalt remember and call to minde the examples of such as by the iust iudgement of God are read reported of in the bookes of the sacred scriptures others also to haue been plagued with these punishments either bodily or spiritually and it shall also much further thee to adde hereunto such as thou of thine own knowledge within thy time and memorie hast knowen to haue felt the heauie hande of God 7 Seuenthly it shal be very behouefull for thee to consider that for thy sinnes and offences others linked vnto thee in consanguinitie and kinred are punished namely thy Parentes thy children thy brethren thy
sisters c. euen as thou also somewhile must smart for others sinnes For thus doe we miserable and wretched men draw one an other into daunger and one of vs is guide and companion vnto another in running headlong to the place of torment damnation This doeth God himselfe affirme when as in the beginning of his decalogue he sayth I am the Lorde thy God a ielous God visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children vpon the third and vpon the fourth generation of them that hau● me So for one sinne of king Dauid there were slame many thousandes of his people and for his adulterie committed with Vrias wife the child which she bore him dyed And againe For the sinnes of the people the Lord setteth ouer them cruell tyrauntes and rauening hypocrites Hely the Priest and all his posteritie was punished for the sinnes of his children Ah what a sea of mischiefes doth euen one sinne bring with it 8 Eightly there is yet one thing behinde to be considered which is most dreadfull and formidable By reason of thy sinnes thou art made guiltie of eternall damnation and after greeuous punishmentes sustayned here in this worlde there remayne yet behinde other tormentes to be suffered in an other and the same much more terrible bitter and lasting For there both bodie and soule together are subiected and adiudged to eternall tormentes and fire that neuer shall bee quenched which God from afore the beginning of the world hath prepared for the Diuell and all the contemners of his precepts and commaundements Now how horrible a thing it is and what an vnspeakable punishment it is euerlastingly to be depriued of the presence face of Almightie God and to burne in hell with vnquenchable fire that shal neuer be consumed there is no man that can so much as conceiue in mind or cogitation Goe to nowe therefore whosoeuer thou art and by this that we haue alreadie spoken of the law of the Lord learne to examine thy conscience and to make perfect tryall and suruey of thy selfe Doubtlesse when thou hast a little while continued and gone forward in this way and course which wee haue heere shewed and attentiuely considered such things as haue beene declared I doubt not but that thou wilt by and by and without delay euen wi●● sighes and teares burst out into this confession O heauenly father J haue sinned against heauen and against thee I am not worthie to bee called thy Sonne I am not worthie to lifte vp mine eves towardes heauen Looke howe much I being once in Baptisme purged from my sinnes in the bloud of thy sonne and sanctified by receiuing the holy Ghost did in the same please thee somuch againe must I needes by reason of my manifolde sinnes since cōmitted displease thee Nowe the sinnes which I haue committed if I should go about to number them they are infinite For there is not one of thy holy precepts commaundements against which I haue not committed many offences sundry transgressions Many be they which I haue committed in acte and deede and such as I haue not actually brought to passe and done yet through my corrupt cogitations and vncleane will I am as deepely guiltie of as if I in act had committed them To be briefe my sinnes surmount the sands of the Sea if I make diligent search and inquirie of the greuousnesse of my sinnes I truely find them haynouser greater than I am able to vtter What say I vtter Nay than I can in mind conceiue or in inwarde cogitation comprehende Certes so often as I looke into and behold with the eyes of my minde my frowarde heart cankered stomack peruerse disposition euer enclined to euil which thou Lord most cleerely throughly seest togither with my desire and delight to performe the same the verie remembrance of my great and greeuous maliciousnesse driueth mee into such perplexitie that I no wayes know whither to turne me Whither Lorde shall I go from thy spirit and whither shal J flee from thy presence Yea this further doth merueilously disquiet torment greeue mee for by my sinnes I haue giuen offence that is occasion of fall and ruine to a great sort of others being harmlesse honest persons Wilt thou Lord as a iust and vpright iudge require the bloud of them also at my hands What shal I further do seeing I haue burdened and spotted my conscience by assenting also to other mens sinnes in not disswading reclaiming them before they did euil in not reprouing and rebuking them after they had done euil Ah how much better had it beene that being a man I had neuer beene so familiar among men What miserie is this I am the cause of an other mans offending an other man likewise to me and thus doe wee all encumber and loade one another with sinnes and dragg pull hale drawe one another into the break-necke fall and lamentable gulfe of eternall damnation If thou Lorde wilt strictly looke what is amisse narrowly enquire of our iniquities O Lorde who shal be able to abide it Moreouer when I do somewhat further consider my sinnes I see a great heape yet behind many mo than now come to memorie manye lewde prankes heretofore by me most wickedly haue been don which I then thought had not been wicked neither can I at this present houre sufficiētly so iudge deeme of them which ignorance blindnesse and infirmitie of mine in this behalf I must needs confesse wil I nill to be imputable vnto me for a most greeuous and haynous sinne And herein I perceiue that although I had committed none euil at all afore yet to haue herein again deserued euerlasting tormentes I had almost sayed why Lord wouldst thou that this naughtie and corrupt ignorance should thus originally be bred in vs and thus still to cleaue vnto vs Alas I haue no sacrifice to offer vnto thee to satisfie for mine ignorance Nowe what shall I say of my negligence in not doing those good works which thou in thy law hast commanded and appointed Or if I haue done any at all yet was it not sincerely done but many wayes infected with hipocrisie and other vices For to omitte a good worke and to doc an ill worke are with thee accompted alike All these things therefore I cōfesse do most vehemently good cause why disquiet and greeue inee For my sinnes are they for which O God thou iustly inflictest greeuous punishments and plagues aswell spirituall and internall as corporall and externall And whereas I dayly finde the same by experience true partly in my selfe partly in others yet such is my blindnesse hardnesse of heart that I am nothing at all as yet mooued thereby vnto any repentance or amendment To al these aforesaid euils there is to be added yet another heap of mischiefs vz that for these sinnes of mine a great many other innocents gyltles persons be ioyntly with me for
