which Law was ingrauen in Adams hart Finally we may all that are descended of Adams race cry out as it is in the 130. psalme Psal 130.3 If thou O Lorde straitlye markest iniquities O Lorde who shall stand Qu. What then is the state and condition of you and all other through your sinne in Adam and your owne daily sins by reason of your corruption of nature drawne from Adam An. Most woofull truly miserable is mine and the state of all men else in themselues because of sin for it is written in the 5. to the Romaines Rom. 5.18 By the offence of one the fault came on all men to condemnatiō And againe in the 2. to the Romaines Tribulation anguish shal be vpon the soule of euery man that doth euill Rom. 2.9 Qu. Set forth yet more fully the punishment of sinne and the state of condemnation Qu. In the 30. chapter of Esai it is said Tophet which by a borowed speach is Hell is prepared of old Esai 30.33 it is euen prepared for the king he hath made it deepe and large the burning thereof is fire and much wood the breath of the Lord like a riuer of brimstone dooth kindle it In the 66. of the same Prophet Esai 66.24 it is also said And they that is the godly shall go forth and looke vpō the carcasses of the men that haue transgressed against me for their worme shall not die neyther shall their fire be quenched and they shal be an abhorring to all flesh In the 8. of Mathew it is saide Math 8 12. The children of the kingdome that is the Iewes shal be cast out into vtter darkenesse where shal be weeping and gnashing of teeth In the 21. of the Reuelation it is written that The fearefull vnbeleeuing Reuel 21 8. and abhominable shal haue their portion in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone which is the second death In consideration of which extreme punishment the wicked at the comming of Christ shal say as it is in the 6. of the Reuelation to the mountains to the rockes Fall vpon vs Reuel 6 ℣ se 16 17. hide vs from the presence of him that sitteth on the throne and from the wrath of the Lambe for the great day of his wrath is come and who canne stand Qu. O most wofull depth of miserie and cruell calamitie because of sinne but is there no meane to auoyde this woe Ans One onely meanes to escape is prouided by God Acts 4 12. Qu. Shew what it is Ans God straightway after Adams fall raised him and all other his elect vp againe vnto hope by the promise of a sauiour to vanquish the power of Sathan to set the enthralled frée as appeareth in Genesis 3. where it is denoūced against Sathan Gen 3 15. that The seede of the woman should bruse his head Qu. Did any deserte of Adam mooue God hereunto An. None at all It was onely Gods loue pitie and compassion that procured this saluation As it is written in the 3 of Iohns gospel Iohn 3 16. God so loued the world that he gaue his onely begotten sonne that euery one that beleeueth in him might not perishe but haue eternall life And againe in Romans 5. Rom 5. ver 8 But God setteth out his loue towards vs seeing that while we were yet sinners yea and a little after Enemies Christ dyed for vs. Qu. What natures were in Christ An. Two The nature of man and the nature of God in one person As it is proued by these words in Romanes 9. Rom. 9 4. 1 Iohn 5 20. Of whome that is of the Isralites concerning the flesh Christ came who is God ouer all blessed for euer Qu. Why was it needfull that our Redeemer should be man An. That God might satisfie his Iustice in punishing man as he threatned if his commandement should be broken when he gaue it first to Adam for that which man had offended Which thing the Apostle séemeth to say in Hebrews 2. where he saith Heb 2 verse 14 15 16 17 Forasmuch as the children were partakers of flesh and bloud he also him selfe tooke part with them that he might destroy through death him that had the power of death that is the diuell and that he might deliuer all them which for feare of death were all their l●fe time subiect vnto bondage And Peter sayth in the third chapiter of his first Epistle 1. Pet. 3 18. Christ hath once suffered for sinnes the iust for the vniust to bring vs to good Qu. Why was it necessary that our redeemer should be God An. To the intent that the infirmitie of his manhood might be sustained by his Godhead that so he might ouercome death the sorrows of death And therefore it is saide in Romans ● that He was declared mightily to be the sonne of God Rom 1 4. touching the spirit of sanctification by his resurrection from the dead And againe the same Apostle saith in 2. 1 Cor 13 4. Corinthians chapiter 13. For although hee was crucified according to his infirmitie that is his Manhoode yet doth he lyue by the power of God If hee had béene but onely man he could not haue ouercome death and therefore Peter in the third chapiter of his first epistle ascribeth the quickning of Christ that is the raising of his body frō death to the spirit 1. Pet. 3.18 that is to the diuine power Q. Was Christ himselfe who was borne of a sinfull woman free from the contagion and infection of sinne You alleadged out of Iob the 14. chapiter That none could bryng that is pure out of filthynesse An. If Christ had not béene frée from the infection of sin be had béene vnméete to haue ransomed and deliuered other there from And therefore it is saide in the 7. to the Hebrewes that Such an high Priest it becomes vs to haue Heb. 7.26 as is holy harmlesse vndefiled seperate from sinners made higher then the heauens And in the fift of the 2. to the Corinthians Paule saith He was made sinne for vs which knew no sinne 2. Cor 5 21. And therefore to the intent he might bée frée from sinne he was conceiued in the wombe of the virgine Luke 1 35. as appeareth in the first of Luke by the holy ghost Q. Doe you thinke that the bodilye death which Christ did suffer was sufficient to deliuer all mankinde from the punishment due both to their bodies and soules A. Notwithstanding that the Scripture oftentimes ascribeth for giuenes of sinnes our redemption to the shedding of his bloud as in the first to the Ephesians By whom we haue redemption through his bloud euen the forgiuenes of sins Ephes 1.7 And in the first chap. of the first epistle of Peter Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things as siluer and gold 1. Pet. 1. ℣ se 18 19. frō your vaine

thrée places Paule setteth foorth the power of the Holy ghost in begetting of faith by the outward ministrie of his preaching In the fift chapter to the Galathians Paule saith Galat. 5.22 The fruit of the spirite is loue ioy peace long suffering gentletlenesse goodnesse faith meekenesse temperancie Qu. What men are meet for the planting of faith An. Those onely that haue a féeling of their owne miserie and woe due from Gods instice for their sinnes For those onely dooth Christ call in the eleuenth of Mathew saying Math. 11 28 Come vnto me all yee that are weary and laden and I will ease you In the second of the Acts we read that those that were pricked in their harts and said vnto Peter and the other Apostles Acts. 2. ℣ se 37 38 39. Men and brethren what shall we do immediatly after beléeued Qu. To what head or point of religion do you refer this sorrow and trembling conceiued of the sight of Gods displeasure for sinne An. To the point of Repentance Acts. 2 ●7 as a foregoer thereof in the elect Qu. What is Repentance An. Repentance is a turning frō sin vnto God What Repentance is that is to say a framing of our whole life to obey him And the word that the Scripture vseth most commonly to expresse it by doth signifie a change or alteration of the minde That new birth which our sauiour Christ speaketh of in the 3. of Iohn vnto Nicodemus is nothing but Repētance Iohn 3 3. It is called Regeneration Regeneration or Repentance hath two parts represented in baptisme that is Dying vnto sinne called mortification termed in the Scripture circumcision of the hart And newnesse at life Both these partes of repentance are in sundrie places of the Scriptures expressed As in the 2. chapter vnto Titus in these words Titus 2. ℣ se 11 12. For that grace of God that bringeth saluation vnto all men hath appeared and teacheth vs to deny vngodlines and worldly lusts this is Mortification and to liue sobe●ly righteously and godly in this present world this is Newnesse of life In the 2. to the Collossians these two parts are also expressed where the Apostle saith Coloss 2. ℣ s 11 12. In whom also ye are circumcised with circumcisiō made without hands by putting off the sinfull body of the flesh through the circumcision of Christ in that ye are buried with him thorough baptisme Ephes 4. ℣ se 22 23.24 in whom ye are also raised vp together through the faith of the operation of God In the 6. of the epistle to the Romans Rom. 6.4 and in the 4. of the first epistle of Peter both these parts are manifestly expressed 1. Pet. 4. ℣ se 1 2. the one procéedeth of the force of Christs death the other of his n = * Phil. 3 10. resurrection Qu. How is repentance wrought in mans hart An. By the holy ghost in preaching of the lawes and the gospell John 3 5. Except a man saith Christ be borne of water and the Holy ghost he cānot enter into the kingdome of God Againe Paule saith in the 6. of his first epistle to the Corinthians 1. Cor. 6.11 And such were some of you but ye are washed but ye are sanctified but ye are iustified in the name of the Lord Iesus by the spirit of our God And againe in the 3. chapter of the secōd epistle to the Corinthians 2. Cor. 1 12. But we all behold as in a mirrour the glory of the Lord with open face and are chaunged into the same image from glory to glory as by the spirit of the Lord. Qu. You haue proued that Repentance is the worke of the Holy ghost Now proue that it is in the ministry of the law and the gospell An. In the 1. chapter of Titus it is commaunded Titus that he should sharply rebuke the Cretians Titus 1. ℣ se 12 13. because one of their own prophets witnesseth that they were alwaies liers euill beasts slow bellies that they may bée sound in the saith Rom. 3.20 The whole Scripture both the law the gospell saith the same Apostle in the 3. of his 2. Epistle to Timothie 2. Timoth. 3. ℣ se 16 17. is giuen by inspiration from God and is profitable to conuince to correct and to instruct c. thus much for the ministry of the lawe For the gospell Our Sauiour Christ saith in the fiftenth of Iohn Nowe are yee cleane through the word that I haue spoken vnto you Iohn 15 3. Also Peter saith in the 1. chapter of his first epistle Being borne againe not of mortall seede but of immortall 1. Pet. 1.23 by the word of God Lastly in the twenty and six of the Acts it is witnessed that Paule was sent by Iesus Christ by preaching the gospell vnto the Gentiles To open their eies Acts. 26 18. that they might turne from darknes to light and from the power of Satan to God that they might receiue forgiuenes of sinnes inheritance among them that were Sanctified by faith in him Thus it is plaine that Repentance is the worke of the Holy ghost by the ministry of the law and the gospell Qu. Whether is faith before Repentance or Repentance before faith An. The question is busie there is no doubt but faith repentance are very nigh adioined as touching their beginning as is the cause and the effect Let it suffice vs to know that when a sinner thorow the preaching of the lawe is throwne downe to the sight of his deserued damnation by the auenging iustice of God that thē if he be Gods elect faith in Gods promise of saluation in Christ is wrought in him by the preaching of the gospell whervpon followeth an hatred of sinne and care to auoid it a loue of righteousnes and care to doo it which are especiall effects of repentance in token of thankefulnesse for saluation by Christ The Scripture in sundry places doth ascribe sanctification and purging of the hart vnto faith As in the twentie and six of the Acts Acts. 26 18 That they may receiue forgiuenes of sinnes and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith in mee Againe in the 15. He put no difference betweene vs and them after that by faith he had purified their harts Now Sanctification regeneration repentance being all one it followeth that they are effects of faith Further because without faith as the Apostle saith in the 11. to the Hebrewes it is impossible to please God Hebr. 11 6. in another place Rom. 14.23 What soeuer is not of faith is sinne We haue most warrant to think that faith is before repentance Notwithstanding some writers are of mind that some part of repentance goeth before faith and some part followeth as an effect therof Qu. When ceaseth repentance in men An. When men cease altogether to sin But sin doth not cease to be in the
