kingdome of Christ fayth remission of sinnes righteousnesse holinesse and to a new life and life euerlasting S. How then am I called F. God béeing merciful vnto thée allureth thée externally by his worde preached and inwardly by the motion of his spirite S. Are both these namely the outward inward calling necessary for a christiā F. Yea and therefore we ought not to neglect the one nor contemne the other S. Thus farre haue you disputed in order touching the sonne howbeit one thing remayneth yet doubtfull my father the which I would gladly ye should discusse F. What is that my sonne S. Ye said that the father the sonne and the holy Ghost are one thing and that the diuine Nature cannot essentially be diuided and yet that neither the father nor the holy Ghost was made flesh but the sonne onely which also was the alone redeemer of mankinde Not the father nor the holy Ghost was incarnate but the sonne August de incarna cohu Iudaeos how I pray you may this be F. Let him resolue this questiō who hath for an example thereof so elegantly produced the harmonie of a musicall instrument consider sayth hée the musical instrument as it yéeldeth the harmonical sound therein thrée things séeme to be present together as namely the arte or cunning the hand and the corde the arte doeth suggerate or indite the hand striketh and the corde soundeth three here worke together yet onely the corde soundeth neyther the arte nor the hand yéeldeth sound but then only when they worke together with the corde euen so neyther the father nor the holy ghost hath taken flesh yet haue both wrought together with the sonne the corde onely yéeldeth the sound Christ onely hath béene incarnate The operation consisted of all the three but as the yéelding of the sound appertayneth onely to the corde so the taking of flesh appertayneth onely to Christ S. Ye haue excellently resolued me in this doubt and so haue sufficiently instructed me touching the sonne the second person of the diuine Trinitie Now at length I remember that to the third person ye attributed illumination regeneration and sanctification F. The workes of the holy Ghost It is true for these three things are proper to the holy ghost albeit that in the same the whole Trinitie hath his operation S. What meane ye by this illuminatiō Illumination F. Illumination as it is generally taken noteth sometimes the new birth sometimes the viuification sometimes the fréedome sometimes the iustification of a man but in this place by Illumination is meant that lightning of reason and iudgement wrougth in the faithfull by the diuine vertue whereby the eyes of the soule béeing opened they both sée God and learne to walke in his waies S. Then it appeareth that sometimes they haue beene darkened in their vnderstanding and know not at all how to order themselues F. It is most certaine thereof did men runne into so many grosse errours in the world as a punishment for their sinnes S. Right needefull then was it that Christ after his departure from his disciples sent the holy Ghost vnto them F. Thou hast sayd the truth for by the vertue thereof they were lightned and led into all trueth S. How is this holy spirit sayd to be giuen or receiued F. How the holy Ghost is said to be giuen As concerning his graces vertues operations and effects for otherwise being God incomprehensible and replenishing al things he is neither giuen nor taken nor said properly to remoue to go or to come from one place to another S. Ye also attributed to the holy ghost regeneration what meane ye by that F. Regeneration Regeneration is of that which is engendred againe or new borne S. Shew me this more plainely F. Euery man is spiritually dead by reason of sin therefore it is néedeful that he be reduced to that Image of God which is in him defaced by a new birth and hereof is he made a new man S. The old man VVhat is the olde man F. It is the fleshlie man S. VVho is that fleshlie man F. It is he which is not indued with the spirit of God but by nature without the holy spirit which is also called the outward man that is he which consisteth of the body and the sences which is giuen to affections and is mortall The same is also called the body of sin that is a body subdued to sinne flesh sensuall and earthly S. VVhat is that new man The new man F. It is that spirituall man S. VVho is he F. The man inspired with the graces of gods spirit whereof he is a new creature and spirit or the spirituall and inward man that is one regenerated by the worke of the holy ghost that very soule and the image of God which through faith and grace doth flourish euen in the middest of afflictions neither may he be by any meanes extinguished to this also belongeth the first and second man Ro. 5.8 1. cor 15. Adam is that first Christ is that second the first is terrene or earthly the second is celestiall or heauenly S. How doth the holy Ghost worke this in vs. F. He conuerteth vs vnto God conforming vs to the image of his sonne in the renewing of our mindes the which in the scriptures is often vnderstood in the worde Repentance S. It was not then for nought that both God and his prophets in the old Testament and Christ and his apostles in the new haue so often excited and called the people to repentance F. Well sayde neither without this can a man enter into the kingdome of heauen Io. 3.5 S. What oportunitie taketh the holy ghost in the working of this regeneratiō F. The hearing of the worde of God whereof fayth is engendred in the hart of man S. Ye also attributed as I remember to the holy spirit sanctification and what is that F. Sanctification Sanctification is the purifying of a man from all prophanitie the cleansing of a man by the mortificatiō of the flesh and the confirmation and application of vs to God by the viuification of the spirit the which indeede is the end of our deliuerance from hell death the diuell S. Thus haue I learned what are the chiefe attributes or properties of those three distinct persons in the diuine Trinitie now what remayneth els for me to learne my good father F. What God requireth of vs. Yea thou hast hard what Iehouah hath done for thée Now also must thou learne what he requireth thée to yéelde vnto him S. And what is that my good father F. Repeate the Theme or argument of our talke thou shalt therby know it S. I made thee saith Iehouah that thou shouldest be my seruant therefore thou Israell forget me not F. Well then The end of our creation redemption and regeneration to what end did Iehouah make thée aunswere me to the wordes of our Theme S.

which is rightly taken from the consideration of his dominion might and high glory and for the ratification confirmation of all the which we say in the place of a conclusion and of the assent to the same Amen S. VVhat is signified by Amen F. Amen what the word signifieth It is so much to say as So be it let it be ratified and faithfully effected accordingly which sayd voyce that I may yet more plainely expresse the emhpasis and force therof according to the Hebrewes is formed of the first letters of thrée seuerall wordes whereof the first letter namely A is taken from the word A L which is interpreted God God the second letter that is M is borrowed of the word Melech which is a king King the third letter béeing Nun is the first letter of Neeman which is so much to say as faithfull Faithfull and true Therefore of those thrée letters A M N is gathered that voice Amen which is as much to say as God the King Faythfull and true S. O very well sayde my father and thus haue yee right well taught me to what end the Lord hath formed me and hath made me a liuing soule and restored me to his owne image F. Yea my sonne and in those two poyntes namely fayth and obedience The sum of religion I haue taught thée the summe of Religion S. And I beseech you teach me also what that Religion is Father True Religion is that amitie combination and league of ours True relig●on with the true liuing and eternall God in the vnitie and trinitie whom onely béeing vnto him in Christ conioyned we do adore inuocate and worship on whom we wholy depend according to whose will or after the prescript and law of whose word we liue in al things S. Thus are we formed to serue God and to liue in his holy religion but what is the end of this seruice and what profit shall we finde thereby F. Two principall of Gods seruice This seruice hath two principall ends the first whereof is the glory of the euerlasting God the second is the profit and benefit of man S. What is that glory of God F. As glory is the publick and often praise of good report of any person so the glory of God is the preaching of his noble acts and vertues the extolling setting foorth of his name with high praise and thankesgiuing and this is the principall end both of mans life and death S. Then also should a man wholy liue and die to glorifie God F. It is true so long therfore as a man may in his life expresse and spread foorth the glory of God so long let him desire to liue and not to die How long a man should disire to liue but when he can no longer performe that but rather to glorifie God in his death let him desire rather to dye then to liue S. Ye haue well sayd my father God graunt we may both liue and die to his glorie Now I pray let me heare the reason of that second poynt the which as ye sayd respected mans profit and benefit F. Thy labours in the Lord shal not be in vaine The reward of Gods seruice for through the merit of the most holy Messiah the wrath of God which was enkindled agaynst thée by the meanes of sinne shall be remoued far from thée the graces of God shall be establised towards thée thy conscience shall be quieted within thée thou shalt finde preseruation and safetie agaynst all thine enemies both bodily and ghostly thou shalt not come into condemnation thou shalt not fall into the death eternall and lastly thou shalt enioy the highest felicitie in the life to come S. What is that wrath of God Gods wrath the which ye say shall be remoued F. This wrath is not to be estéemed for any perturbation of minde in God but for the payne of the sufferer Lam. 3.10 béeing the worthy reuenge of sinne The wrath of God therefore is the retrebution of sins which is sayd to be two wayes that is say Hebr. 12. either then when he punisheth the sinner for his amendment or then when he casteth him into hell fire to be destroied for euer S. VVhat is that grace of God whereof ye also made mention F. Gods grace The grace of God is his louing fauour and good will towardes vs by the which béeing mercifull he doth affect vs wretched and damned sinners while he pardoneth both the payne and the fault of our transgressions and adopteth vs for his children or it is that remission of sinnes or mercie promised for the sake of Christ our sauiour or our frée acceptation with God the which the holy ghost necessarily accōpaneth for our eternal good S. I haue thus far wel vnderstood you what is that good cōscience ye speak of F. A good consience As conscience generally is defined the knowledge iudgement and sence of man wherby his minde béeing acquainted with euery thing that hath by himselfe béene done or not done he doth either cōdemne or cleare himselfe stādeth vnto him instead of a 1000. witnesses so a good cōscience is the spiritual face of the soule the candle of the minde the incorruptible iudge and brasen wall impenitrable euer absoluing him which reteineth it through the only mercy of Gob defending him against al the stroks of sin death S. VVhat is that preseruation of man F. It is that safe kéeping The preseruation of a man by the which the Lord doth preserue and nourish both the soules and bodies of the righteous to the which he giueth his angels charge to kéepe them in al their wayes through the merit of their redéemer S. VVhat is that condemnation F. It is that most dreadfull sentence Condemnation the which Christ the most righteous iudge shall pronounce agaynst the reprobate diuell his wicked angels in the last day S. Vhat is that eternall death F. It is that final seperatiō of man form Christ Death eternall whereby he may not thence forth enioy his presence this is the second death which is the confusion and destruction of both soule and bodie whereof ensueth a perpetual horrour of conscience conceiued of the diuine wrath S. What is that highest felicitie of man F. It is that euerlasting life whereof I speake before Mans heighest felicity the which after this life we that be true beléeuers shall enioy with Christ and all his chosen saints in the most blessed peace and happie societie for euermore S. Now my good father as ye haue beene willing to teach nurture me in the right feare of the Lord The coclusion which is the beginning of wisdome as ye haue sayd so well discussed al those doubts and satisfied me at full so wil I both endeauor to retaine in minde what so euerye haue taught me and also continue right thankfull vnto you for all those your
