memory of thy guilt and transgression and that therefore it necessarilie standeth thee vppon to fall to most earnest repentance to consider and thinke with thy selfe that this whole life which we here liue ought to bee a continuall meditation of repentance and that in the meane while we ought patiently to suffer all miseries and calamities sith we our selues were the cause thereof and by our owne fault haue deserued the same Last of all seeing we cannot by any meanes shewe forth worthy repentance and pacifie God his anger iustly conceiued againg vs yea with the sway of sin preuailing in vs wee rather exasperate his furder wrath it remaineth for vs therefore to take this sure course euen to lift vp the eies of our mind vnto our Mediator lesus Christ and to beseech the Father to respect the righteousnesse and obedience of him alone not to call into accompt the vnrighteousnes and disobedience either of our first parent or of vs our selues but to impute the righteousnes of Christ vnto vs as though it were our owne And hereunto let the words of the Apostle by al meanes moue and stirre thee As by the offence of one the fault came on all men to condemnation so by the instifieng of one the benefite abounded towarde all men to the iustification of life c. These and the like reasons drawing thee to the acknowledgement of thy sinne to repentaunce to true inuocation of the name of God and humble imploring of his fatherly mercie thou maiest well thinke thou hast laide a good foundation and made a good entraunce into the tryal and examination of thy selfe CHAP. 3. He that wil profitablie and rightlie trie and examine himselfe must diligently consider his promise made at Baptisme and how well m euery point he answereth the same BVT it may bee thou comfortest thy selfe and waxest bolde for that long ago thou wast baptized and thereupon makest thy reckoning that all thy sins aswell originall as actuall before committed were then remitted and forgiuen thee and that therefore there is no cause to charge thee or laie before thee any thing touching originall sin and that thou canst not for that sinne be any more called into question and drawen into iudgement Heere loe is there offered vnto thee an occasion of a newe and altogether a more seuere and precise examination For certainely if thou purpose earnestly effectually to try thy selfe it is thy part and dutie exactly diligently to searche as hath beene sayde afore euery corner of thy Conscience whether in euery degree and respect thou haue vsed thy selfe and dealt according to that solemne vowe and profession which thou madest and vnder-tookest at thy Baptisme Whereby it shall most plainely appeare whether there be any of those remnaunts of originall sinne and olde Adam yet remaining within thee or no. That thou maiest the sooner the readier and the reuerentlyer bringe this to passe it shall bee good for thee first diligently to weigh and consider such speciall things materiall points as are commonly vsed and solemnized at the very time that Baptisme is ministred namely what each seuerall action meaneth togeather with each circumstance and necessarie braunch thereunto belonging And this being done orderlie to proceede to the thorough search of each corner of thy inward conscience Marke well therefore what was done at the time that thou wast Baptized and solemnely receiued into the Church in the sight of God and his Angels and of godlie beleeuing brethren FIrst there acknowledging thy selfe by nature to be the child of wrath ouerwhelmed drowned in sins and so long as thou so liuedst to be vnder the power of the Prince of darkenes thou camest penitently to the Church deepely and solemnely there protesting that thou wouldest forsake the Diuel and all his workes and that thou wouldest liue a newe and better life from thenceforth that thou wouldest become a new man cleane contrary to that thou wast afore and that thou wouldest serue God alone in all synceritie and godlinesse of life Thou diddest thē also presently make professiō of thy faith beliefe in God the father in Iesus Christ his sonne in the holy Ghost making there thy humble praier beleeuing that thou shouldest be receiued into fauour and grace not for any works of righteousnesse in the selfe which were none at all but thorough the meere mercie of God by the bloude of Christ and by the lauer of regeneration After thou haddest thus bewailed the wofull state of thy miserable vnworthines and publiquely protested thine earnest repentance and withall thereunto added a sounde confession of thy faith then was there likewise set foorth vnto thee the promise of God made vnto all that truely repent and turne vnto him by a liuely faith and are baptized Hee that shall beleeue and bee baptized shall bee saued Amend your liues and be baptized euerie one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sinnes These contestations and promises beeing thus solemnely made on both parts thou wast bapt sed that is to say thou wast dipped or sprinckled with water therewithall the Word of God was pronounced forth hauing vertue after a maruelous sort to wash take away thy sinnes by the bloudsheads of Christ The Word was added to the Element so was it made in thee a Sacrament eue● a Sacrament and Seale of the righteousnes of faith Of that faith I saye which thou euen a little while afore diddest professe and of that righteousnesse which God promised vnto thee And it is as it were an Indenture of Couenants or mutuall hand-writing obligatory between God and thee For in this action of thy baptisme there passeth a certaine mutuall bond or obligatō between you euen much like as betweene Barterers Bargainers but most aptly properly and specially betweene the husband and the wife For the couenaunt promise and bonde here made is not for any short while but euen for the whole space of thy life and so long as thou continuest in this world the memorie of this promise couenant by thee made ought surely to bee imprinted in thy minde yea still euē so long as thy life lasteth it behooueth thee all that euer thou canst to endeuor thy selfe to accomplishe and performe thy promised couenants Thou art now in this sort engraffed into Christ and incorporated into his holy congregation being the Church thou art receiued into the number fellowship of the faithfull Moreouer the very fourme manner customable rite of Baptisme it selfe is a perpetuall witnesse of thy vowed promise and admonisheth thee of thy duetie all the daies of thy life Namely first when thou wast put down into the Font dipped into the water or sprinckled therewith there was signified vnto thee the mortification of thy selfe and all thy members in that thou diddest there openly and solemnely professe that thou wouldest die vnto sinne Againe thy raising and lifting
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.

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
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.
