seruant nor his maide nor his Oxe nor his Asse nor any thing that is his Mai What requireth God in the first Commandement Schol That as I loue the saluation of mine owne soule so I diligently shunne and auoyd all Idolatrie coniuring inchauntment superstition praying to Saints or other creatures and doe rightly acknowledge the onely and true God trust in him alone submit mâ— selfe with all humilitie and patience vnto him looke for all good things from him alone and with the most inward affection of my hart loue reuerence and worship him so that I will rather forsake all creatures then commit the least thing against his will Mâ—i What is Idolatrie Schol It is in the place of one God or besides that one and true God who hath reuealed himselfe in his word to deuise or haue anie other thing wherein to put our trust Mâ—i What doth the second commandement require Schol That wée expresse not God by any Image or shape neither serue him after any other manner then as in his word he hath commaunded himselfe to be serued Ma Ought we then to make no Images nor pictures Schol God neither ought nor can by any meanes be drawne or pictured and although it be lawfull to resemble creatures yet God forbiddeth to haue or make their Images to worship or honour either them or God by them Ma What meaneth God in the third commandement Schol That we doe not reprochfully or vnreuerently vse the name of God in cursing swearing forswearing nor yet take part in those horrible sinnes by holding our peace aâ—d winking at them but that we vse the sacred name of God with great religion and reuerence that by true and constant confession and calling vpon him and finally by all our words and deedes he may be praised and euer magnified Ma Is it then so great a sinne to take the name of God in vaine either by swearing or by cursing That God is also angry with them who as much as in them lyeth do not forbid or hinder it Schol Surely a most grieuous sinne for there is no greater sinne or which doth more offend God then the reproch of his holy name wherefore also he commaunded that sinne to be punished with death Ma But may any man lawfully and in a godly sort sweare by the name of God Schol He may when either the magistrate requireth it of his subiects or necessitie requireth that by this meanes faith be assured and truth established to the end that the glory of God may be set forth and the saluation of other men furthered for this kind of oath is confirmed in the word of God and therefore hath bene rightly vsed by holy men both in the old and new Testament Maist Is it not lawfull to sweare by Saints and other creatures Schol No for a lawfull oath is a calling vpon God wherein a man desireth that he being the only beholder of the heart would giue witnes to the truth and punish the swearer if he deceiue wittingly now this honour agreeth to no creature Ma What doth God require in the fourth commandement Schol First that the ministrie of the Gospell schooles be maintained and that both vpon other daies and especially vpon holy daies I do diligently frequent the holy assemblies heare the word of God attentiuely vse the Sacraments and to the publike praiers ioyne also mine owne priuate and according to my abilitie bestow something vpon the poore Secondly that in all my life I abstaine from wicked actions yéelding vnto the Lord that by his spirit he may worke his good worke in me and so that I begin that Euerlasting Saboth or rest in this life Ma What doth the Lord enioyne vs in the fift commandement Schol That we performe vnto our parents and euen to all that are set ouer vs due honour loue and fidelitie and do submit our selues to their faithfull preceps and chastisements with that obedience which is meete Secondly that we patiently beare with their faults alwaies hauing in remembrance that Gods will is to leade and rule vs by their hand Ma What doth God require in the sixt commandement Schol That neither by thought nor by word nor by gesture much lesse by déede either by my selfe or by any other I do reuile or hate or hurt or stâ—y my neighbour but cast away all desire of reuenge Moreouer that I hurt not my selfe nor wittingly cast my selfe into any daunger And therefore also that murthers might be auoyded hee hath armed the magistrate with the sword Ma Why but this commandement seemeth to forbid onely murther Schol For the staying of murther God teacheth that he hateth the roote and original of murther to wit anger enuie hatred and desire of reuenge and doth account all these for murther Ma What is the meaning of the seauenth commandement Schol That God doth abhorre all filthines and therefore that we also ought to hate and detest it and on the other side that we ought to liue soberly modestly and chastly either in holy wedlocke or single life Ma Doth God forbid nothing else in this commandement but adulterie and such kind of filthines Schol Forasmuch as our body and soule are the temples of the holy Ghost the will of God is that we possesse both body and soule purely and holily And therefore he doth generally forbid filthie deedes gestures behauiours speeches thoughts and desires and whatsoeuer may allure vs hereunto Ma What doth God forbid in the eight commandement Schol Not onely those thefts and robberies which the magistrate doth punish but vnder the name of theft he comprehendeth all naughtie shifts and deuises whereby we catch after other mens goods and labour to conueigh them to our selues either by force or by colour of right as are vnequall weights an vniust meatewand false measure deceitfull words counterfaite mony vsurie or any other forbidden way or meanes to thrine get wealth adde herevnto all couetousnes and the manifold mispending the gifts of God Ma What doth the ninth commandement require Schol That I beare no false witnes against any man that I shall misconsture no mans words that I backebite or reproach no man that I condemne no man rashly before his cause be heard but that I doe with all carefulnes auoyde all kinde of Lying and deceit as the proper workes of the Dâ—uell vnles I will prouoke the most gréeuous displeasure of Almightie God a-against my selfe and that in Iudgements and other affaires I follow the truth and freely and constantly professe the matter to bée euen as it is Moreouer that as much as in me lyeth I defend and encrease the good name and credit of others Maist What doth the tenth Commandement forbid Schol That our hearts be neuer tempted no not with the least desire or thought against any Commandement of God but that alwayes from the heart wee detest all sinne and contrarywise take pleasure in all kinde of Righteousnes Maist Are they able who are conuerted vnto
be by the meanes of Christ â—ay God and my father therefore I so trust in him and so repose my selfe vpon him That I doubt not but he will prouide all things necessarie both for my soule and for my body And moreouer also that what soeucr euill he sendeth vpon me in this miserable life he will turne the same vnto my saluation seeing he is both able to do it as being God Almightie and willing to do it as being my mercifull father Maist What is prouidence Schol The Almightie and euerie where present power of God whereby he doth as it were beare vp with his hand and gouerne the heauen and earth with all creatures So that whatsoeuer groweth out of the Earth as also Rayne and drouth Plentie and dearth meate and drinke health and sicknes Riches and pouertie Finally all things that are fall out not rashly or by chance and fortune but by his Fatherly counsell and will Maist What profit haue we by this knowledge of the creation prouidence of God Schol Hereby we are in aduersitie made patient in prosperity thankfull for the time to come we haue a good hope reposed in GOD our most trustie Father knowing assuredly that nothing can drawe vs from his loue séeing all Creatures are so in his power that without his pleasure they are not able not onely not to doo any thing but not so much as to stirre or haue motion Maist Wherefore is the Sonne of GOD called IESVS that is a 〈◊〉 Scholl Because he saueth and deliuereth vs from all sinnes neither ought saluation to be sought for in any other neither can it elsewhere be sound Maist Do they belieue in the onely Sauiour Iesuâ— who seeke for happines from Saints or from themselues or from any thing else Scholl No for although in worde they glorie in him as a Sauiour yet in déede they denie the onely Sauiour Iesus Christ for it must néedes be that either Iesus is not a perfect Sauiour or else that whosoeuer by true Faith imbrace him as a Sauiour they also are possessed of all things in him which are required vnto saluation Maist Wherfore is he called Christ that is Annoynted Scholl Because he is ordained of the Father annointed with the holy Ghost to be the chiefe Prophet and teacher to reueale vnto vs the secret Counsell and will of the Father concerning our Redemption and to be our high and onely Priest to redéeme vs by the onely sacrifice of his owne bodie daily to make intercession vnto the Father for vs and to be the Euerlasting King to gouerne vs by his word and with his spirit and to preserue and maintaine that saluation which he hath purchased for vs. Maist Why art thou called a Christian Scdoll Because by Faith I am a member of Christ Iesus and partaker of his anointing so that I both confesse his Name and present my selfe vnto him a liuely offering of thanksgiuing and in this life with a frée and good conscience fight against sinne Sathan and after this life to possesse with Christ an euerlasting Kingdome ouer all creatures Maist For what cause is Christ called the onely begotten Sonne of God whereas we also are the Sonnes of God Schol Because Christ is the Eternall and naturall Sonne of his Eternall Father but we for his sake by grace are made the Sonnes of the Father by adoption Mai Wherefore doest thou call him our Lord Schol Because he hath redéemed our bodies and soules from sinne not with gold nor with siluer but with his owne pretious blood and hauing deliuered vs from all power of the diuell doth challenge vs properly to belong vnto himselfe Maist What doest thou beleeue when thou saist He was conceiued by the holy Ghost borne of the Virgin Mary Schol That the very Sonne of God who is and abideth true and euerlasting God did through the working of the holy Ghost take the very true nature of man of the flesh and blood of the Virgin Mary so that he is also the true séede of Dauid like vnto his brethren in all things sinne onely excepted Maist What fruit reapest thou by the holy conception and birth of Christ Schol That he is our Mediator and by his Innocencie and perfect holines doth couer my sinnes wherein I am conceiued and kéepeth them from comming in the sight of God Maist What beleeuest thou when thou saist He suffered Schol That in the whole time of his life which he continued heere vpon earth but especially in the end thereof he sustained both in body and soule the wonderfull paine and griefe of God for the sin of all mankind that by his suffering as by the only sacrifice of reconciliation he might both deliuer our soules from euerlasting condemnation and might also purchase for vs the fauour of God righteousnes and euerlasting life Maist What reason was there why hee suffered vnder Iudgâ— Pilate Schol That he an Innocent being condemned before a ciuill Iudge might set vs frée from the straight iudgment of God which was to fall vpon vs. Maist Is it any more that he was fastned to the crosse then if he had bene put to any other kind of death Schol Yea truly it is more for by this I am sure that he hath taken vpon him the curse which did hang ouer me for the death of the crosse was cursed by God Maist Why was it necessarie that Christ should humble himselfe vnto the death Schol Because the iustice and truth of God could by no other meanes be satisfied for our sinnes but by the death of the Sonne of God Maist Wherefore was he also buried Schol That he might thereby make it knowne that he was truly dead Maist But seeing Christ died for vs why must we also die Schol Our death is not a satisfaction for our sinnes but an vtter destroying of sinne and a passage into euerlasting life Maist What profit receiue we further by the sacrifice and death of Christ Schol That by the power of his death our old man is crucified together with him and is also dead and buried that the euill concupiscences and desires of the flesh may not hereafter raigne in vs but that we may offer our selues vnto him a sacrifice of thanksgiuing Maist Why is this added he descended into Hell Schol That in my greatest sorrowes and most grieuous temptations I may vphold my selfe with this comfort that my L. Iesus Christ hath deliuered me from the anguish and torments of Hell Maist What doeth Christs rising againe profit vs Schol First by his rising againe he hath ouercome death that he might make vs partakers of that righteousnes which he purchased by his death Secondly we also now by the power thereof are raised vp vnto a new life Last of all the rising againe of Christ our head is a pledge vnto vs of our glorious resurrection Mâ—ist How dost thou vnderstand that he ascended into Heauen Schol That in the sight of his Disciples Christ was taken vp from earth to heauen
