And now Translated into the mother English tongue, by john Danyel of Clement's Inn. ¶ Printed at London by Thomas East, for Andrew Maunsell, and are to be sold at his shop in Paul's Churchyard at the sign of the Parrot. ¶ To the right honourable, Sir Ambrose Nicholas, Lord Maior of the City of LONDON: To the right worshipful master William Fleetewood esquire, Recorder of the same: To the right worshipful master Edward Osborne, & master Woolston Dixie esquires, and Sheriffs of the same: To the right worshipful their brethren the Aldermen: To the worshipful master Norton, & the rest of the privy counsel, for the renowned and worthy government of the same, and to every of them, grace and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord jesus Christ, Amen. WHen (as right Honourable and right worshipful) I had made an end of this my travail in translateing this pretty pamphlet and Pardon general, to the receivers of the same, & with my musinge mind, remembering with myself to whom I should dedicated so worthy a work, and could not think of any with in this noble City more fit to be my patrons & defenders in publishing hereof, being as I trust (with you) a poor member of one body, whose head is jesus Christ our Lord, & beholding the firmness of the true faith in one of the members of the same body (the author hereof) sprung out from among the principals of Pope Antechrists' panyons in Spain: I, having therein great comfort & joy, did presume to make you partakers of the same: Because I do see daily every one of you, like worthy wights, heads and rulers of such a noble city, do practice and put in ure, by all means possible such good and godly acts & orders for the good setting forth of Christ's faith and true religion, as maketh me to think, that thus in presuming herein, I do rather please you all, then offend any: If you take it in good part, I am thereby encouraged to take a greater travail in hand, to the same effect (I trust to the glory of god) the treatise is very divine, the conclusion comfortable, it is also short, and therefore soon read over, wherefore I beseech you most humbly to accept it, with the good will of the giver, who will daily pray for all you and yours, that with faith ye may flourish and prospero in all godly doings till th'end, and in th'end, that you may inherit the celestial kingdom, with all the benefits in this jubilee contained. From my house in saint Bride's churchyard the. 13. of january. 1576 ¶ Your honours and worships, most humbly, john Danyell. REmember (dearly beloved) that ye were not baptized in the name of men, of Images, nor yet of Idols that be dumb, to be their servants, to honour them contrary to the commandments of God, but in the name of jesus Christ, because you should worship and serve him, as he doth command, but for all that since the time we were endued with knowledge, and the reason thereof, we have been blinded, and led astray, far from our duties, yet God having pity upon us, and willing to save us, did so by his divine providence, although by his righteous judgement he might worthily condemn us, wherefore let us make no small account of this benefit of Pardone and Indulgence now offered unto us, by that most Holy & reverend Father, most worthy of praise and glory, for that we see, he asketh no money of us for it, as Antichrist doth for his trash, he demandeth of us nothing but that only we should have a sure faith, hope, and confidence, in the same, for that he himself doth grant it, and give it us, in his son jesus Christ, and therefore, let us not for the vain fear of men, leave nor let slip, the enjoying of such pardons, and graces, with the benefit thereof, but accept them gladly, for as the Lord our god saith, we cannot be saved without them. ¶ A short sum of all the Indulgences, Graces & Pardons, granted of god our most holy father, by his son jesus Christ, to all faithful Christians in this jubilee mentioned, and commanded to be published, because that all those that do repent them of their sins, and turn unto him, may enjoy the benefits, contained in the same, in this world, the favour of god, and in the world to come, life everlasting.

Levit. 26 psalm. 13 rule, and the upper hand, over us absolutely, and we made the slaves of sin, and did obey sin, and were made abominable and corrupted, abhorrors of all righteousness and lovers of all kind of wickedness, dead in sin, and buried in errors, children of wrath by nature, and subject to the curses and malediction preached unto us, as against the enemies of gods truth, so, that as out casts, and desperate people, Zach. 9 we were without remedy, and ready to be cast into the prison of darkness, 2.

But our blessed God, and most holy Father, as he is rich in mercy, so is he willing to show unto us his immensible charity, with the which, although we were his enemies, yet he loved us, to the end to deliver us from the power of darkness, and cleanse us from our sins, 2.

This mercy, acts. 10.15 Rom. 16. although it were general to all, yet it did take effect, but only in those, which did truly believe, with faith, and that did leave of the service of sin, and did submit themselves, with all their hearts, to truth, righteousness, and holiness of life: for it hath been seen in our age, Gen. 6. Psal. 16. ier. 2. esay. 45 that men have been deceived, forgetting of him, who is the fountain of life, and wisdom, in whom doth consist, all true health, 56. ihon. 34 Gen. 3. Rom. 5.

Item, to all those that have not firmly stood to, 2. Thes. 2 and loved the truth, but have been beguiled and deceived by the blind doctrine of Antichrist and his ministers, and induced to follow the doctrine of Devils, which are traditions of men, 1. timo. 4 ieremis 2. in place of the gospel, and that now, with a true, fervent, and hearty desire, are willingly reduced to trow and divine obedience, and do know by the light of godly scriptures, the errors, superstitions, guiles, deceits, idolatrise, exo. 20. Deut. 6. iohn. 4. and other abominations, in the which they have been and do renounce them, withal their hearts, and hold the true god, for their god, & do worship him in spirit and truth, and let their whole trust depend and be upon him, his goodness and promise, his high holiness, doth grant unto them & such like, pardon general, because they may freely perform the same, without fear of foul Antechristes' excommunications, of his inquysitors, or other his ministers, because that for all them, or any other sensor of their church, (whatsoever) that is thundered out and doth flame against them, his holiness doth also grant them absolution, and doth freely restore them to his fatherly grace, that they in his Church, may have a place for name and being of his faithful children, and that they live in hope to possess & enjoy, 1.

Item, to as many as be, and desire to be, faithful servants and disciples of jesus Christ, his divine majesty, and most reverent holiness, doth grant, that with a stout heart, without fear of the aforesaid excommunications, or other decree whatsoever, made by the said antichrist or his ministers, that they may & do read in the Spanish, French, Italien, English, or other mother tongue or language, the books of the old, and new testament, and all other books, of true and sound doctrine, for that they may know, how to govern themselves, iohn. 5.17 Deut. 12. Luke. 11. Gala. 5 esay. 8. 1. cor. 14 to live holily, to know him, and so to have life everlasting, and herewith he doth expressly command, that they suffer not themselves to be deprived of this liberty, under the pain of death, perdition, and damnation, together with the enemies of his grace, that do rebel against his holy will and commandments, and that have made the said excommunication and decrees. Item, the same Lord jesus Christ, true interpreter, iohn. 1. Mat 5.6 7. of no will of our most holy Father, doth declare by these presents, that all excommunications, and such like, as be proceed from the said Antichrist, chief and high priest, of the man of same, the son of perdition, or from his inquisitor and false butcherly Bushops, 2. Thes. 2 are trystes and of no validity nor effect, because the office nor power to excommunicate, is not given to one that is blind, apoc. 17. nor to a blind and apostatical church, imbrued with the blend of faithful martyrs, and the saints of god our Lord, and governed by the doctrine of desperation, Tit. 1 1 timo. 4. such as are the traditions of men, but that office doth belong to such a one, and to such a Church, Mat. 18. iohn. 2. whose head is jesus Christ, to the apostles in his name, and to all such, as be their true successors, guided by the spirit of truth, and that do teach and live by the true doctrine of the gospel, so pure as possible, the rule, lock, and key, to open, and communicate, the kingdom of heaven to all believers, and to shut it again to all that do not believe, and to the unfaithful rebels, proceeding from (and like unto) the Devil and his members, for whatsoever excommunications they be, if they come not from the true court or office, (which is Christ's church) if they be thundered out with book, bell, and candle, never so fiercely, if they be forged and formed by the free will and foresight of them that have the name of pastors, (and yet in truth are very Idols and ravening wolves) never so firmly, zacha 11 esay. 56. Mat. 7. yet, it is not ratified nor allowed in the kingdom (nor by the faithful) of Christ, but condemned and that with just reason, Mat 23 & good right. The Scribes and pharisees, were set in Moses' chair, and did set at nought the excommunications, john. 9.11.17. that Christ and his Apostles did preach, and pronounce unto and against them, yet we are taught by the holy Ghost, to abhor them, their examples, and the like examples, by whom soever they be showed, much more, the examples of those Antechristes' which are now the mockers of God, and even now do sit, not in the chair of Moses, but in the chair of pestilence, Psal. 1 jere. 23. 2. Cor. 2. Phil. 3. Luke. 19 jer. 2. james. 1. to entrap, blind, and be the perdition of the people of Christ, if they could, and to be the true members & ministers of Satan, and enemies to the glory of Christ, and of the blood of the new testament. To all those that do renounce these (and such like) false religions, of perdition, invented by men, and with all their hearts do embrace the true, healthful, saludable, and celestial religion, that our Lord and holy Father jesus Christ doth teach, and by his spirit, the patriarchs, apostles, and Prophets, he doth grant unto them, plenaria indulgentia, and that they do enjoy all the benefits most blessed, that are herein contained. Item, apoc. 1.7 22. Heb. 1. 1. Pet. 2. all those that according to the church of God, that he taught by the fathers, of our faith, the holy apostles and Prophets, do believe that for all our sins, venial, and others, that the blood of jesus Christ is the only maker clean, the cleanser, and purgatory purger of them, and that there is not, cannot, 1. john. 1 nor may not be any other, and that we have no need of any other but he, 1. Pet. 1. Apoc. 7.22. unto them and such like is granted, by our almighty most holy Father, indulgentia plenaria, and that they receive the benefit of his passion, and so made clean, of all their sins. Item, to all those that are studious, and desirous to hear, (and so work according to) the word of God which is the only rule for to please him by, Esay. 8. & to know the true Church, to be enjoined & incorporated with Chryst, Luke. 11. his most mighty holiness doth grant unto them, that they shallbe blessed for evermore. Item, to all those that notwithstanding, the excommunications, 1. john. 2.4 Rom. 13. Gala. 15. Mat. 10. Mar. 9 Ihon. 14.15. 1. Cor. 10. 1. Pet. 4. Acts. 9 Barbarian, and Turkish defences, and decrees, and other tyrannical, and Pagan cruelties of antichrist, and his ministers, do and will love, receive, incur, communicate, defend, help with counsel, sustenance, and charitable intreatise, the faithful members of jesus Christ, and which by the mercy that they have received at his hands, do acknowledge him to be their only health and salvation, and be imitators, and followers of him, in life and doctrine, & do run away from the errors and other abominable abuses, in the which they have lived contrary to the gospel, and for the same be, and have been, abhorred and persecuted, by the children of darkness and of the world: his almighty holiness and divine magnificence, Psal. 40. Mat. 10.25. doth promise and grant unto them, that they shallbe beloved, received, gwarded, kept, comforted, prospered, delivered from their enemies, holpen in all their troubles and necessities, and at the last day, allowed and accepted before the father and his holy Angels, for faithful confessors of his truth and righteousness, and in the end of all, enriched with the eternal riches, of his celestial blessedness. Item, john 1.3, 11. Gal. 5. to all those that do, and will believe in jesus Christ, with all their hearts, and all their powers, and will live with doing works of faith, with a firm hope and trust in Christ's merits, and righteousness, as is commanded by the gospel, Apoc. 14. he doth grant unto them (millions of millions years of) pardon for all their sins, A pena et culpa, and also peace and rest in conscience with promise, that after their departure out of this world, they shall presently enter into a full possession of the eternal kingdom of Christ jesus. Item, to all and every one, and to whatsoever parson or parsons, Esay. 53. jer. 32. that will embrace Christ and his righteousness with a true faith and hope therein (if they be in the article of death) whether it be by signs, Ezech. 18 tokens, or words, so it be from the bottom of their hearts, and do faithfully believe that Christ jesus made a full satisfaction to God the Father, Rom. 3. 1. Cor. 1. for the sins of all mankind, his most high holiness doth grant unto them, Plenissima indulgentia, a most free pardon, remission, and absolution, from all their sins, and are set at liberty fully for all pains and punishments due for the same. Item, because the sainctifier of all men is of nature merciful, and doth love, and will the salvation of all these which he did redeem with his most precious blood. ezech. 10. Ihon. 17. 1. Pet. 1. Psal. 144 Rome 11. He doth grant and it is his almightiness most holy will, that if it chance that any such parson or parsons, so in th'article of death, do not die at that instant time wherein they so called themselves to their duties, that for their so pure hearts and minds towards him, they shall not only enjoy, thabsolution aforesaid, but also for ever after during life, be continued in the same with health of body and soul, in this world, and in the world to come life everlasting, for God our holy Father is not only so ready to pardon, at the hour or article of death, but also at every hour whensoever his servants will call upon him with a penitent and pure heart. Item, to all those which by usurping usury, by unsatiable gain, in buying and selling, by fraudulent devices, or any other unlawful means, have obtained and gotten into their hands, the goods and riches of this world, if those usurping usurors, insatiable gainers, fraudulent devisors, and unlawful doers, (being abominable sinners) do from the bottom of their hearts repent for the same, and profess in their lives and doctrine amendment of life, and do seek to make some restitution, either by rendering back again, or reconciliation, to them which they have so hindered, he doth grant unto them that they shall rest in his tabernacle, and dwell in his holy hill, for S. Augustine saith (Non dimittitur peccatum nisi restituatur oblatum) sinz are not to be forgiven without restitution. ¶ The witnesses of the old and new Testament to testify the truth and strength of this jubilee. 〈◊〉 in 18. ●●. 25. In the book of Genesis and in many other places of the Law, and testament of scriptures, Moses and others, do testify, that all nations of the earth should be blessed & saved by jesus Christ (the son of David of the seed of Abraham) and that they should receive by him an eternal and celestial, benediction or blessing. Acts. 10 Item, saint Peter doth testify, that all the Prophets bear testimony of jesus Christ, and that whosoever believeth in him, shall receive remission of sins in his name. Mat. 20. Item S. Mathewe doth testify, that jesus Christ did say of himself, my coming into the world was not to be served or ministered unto, but to serve and minister unto others, and to give my life for the redemption of many. Item, Ecce, hae aqui, behold this is my blood which is shed for the remission of sins, Mat. 26. 1. Cor. 11. Mat. 8.9 and unto one that was sick of the Palsy, he said thy sins are forgiven thee, for that I see there is faith in thee. Item, Luke. 7. to a woman that was a sinner, go thy ways in peace, thy sins are pardoned, also to a woman that was sick, to a leper, & to many other he said the same. Item, unto the father which had a child possessed with a dumb spirit, if thou couldst believe, Mar. 9 all things were possible unto thee, for unto him that believeth all things are possible. Item, saint Luke in many places doth testify the like in effect, and in the first chapter he saith, Luke. 1.2 24. Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for he hath visited and redeemed his people, and hath raised a mighty salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth. etc. Item, Luke. 1.2 24. the Angels do witness the same, saying, fear not, (to the shepherds) Ecce, hae aqui, behold I bring and preach unto you glad tidings, and great joy which shallbe to all people, for this day is borne unto you, a saviour, which is jesus christ the Lord 1 ioh. 1.4. Item, S. john saith, in this is the love and charity of God showed unto us, in that he doth sand his only begotten son into the world, because he might live in and by him, and herein consisteth the charity and love, not that we have loved God, but that he hath loved us, and sent his son to make an atonement for our sins. Item he doth command that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name throughout the whole world. Acts. 10 Luke 2. Item, S. john Baptist doth point unto him with his finger, 1. john. 1 and saith, Ecce illig, hae illi, behold there the lamb of god which taketh away the sins of the world. john. 3. Item, he that believeth in jesus Christ the son of God, shall have life everlasting. Item, john. 5. verily, verily, I say unto you, he that doth hear my word and believe in him that sent me, shall have life everlasting, and shall not come into damnation, but is escaped from Death unto life. Item as Moses lifted up the Serpent in the wilderness, john 3. iohn. 3. Even so shall the son of man be lifted up, because that all that believe in him should not perish, but have life everlasting, for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, 1. iohn. 4 that all which believed in him should not perish, but have life everlasting, for God sent not his son to condemn the world, but that the world through him should be saved. Item, 1. iohn. 2. if any man sin, we have an advocate with our Father, even jesus Christ the just and righteous, and he it is that obtained grace for our sins, and not only for ours, but for the sins of all the world Item Saint john in his revelation saith, Apoc. 1.11.16. that he did love us and did wash us from our sins, in his blood. Heb. 1 Item, saint Paul doth witness, that jesus Christ did make purgation for our sins, and for the sins of all the world. acts. 4.15. Item, Saint Peter saith, that it is Christ jesus by whom we have remission of our sins, and that by faith in him, our hearts are purified & made clean from all kind of wickedness, Item, the Augell Gabriel did pronounce unto the holy virgin Mary, Mat. 7. Zacha. 9 Esay. 53. that she should conceive and bear a son, whose name she should call jesus, for that he should save his people from their sins, and deliver them from the condemnation the which they were in. Item, forasmuch as our eternal high Priest is the only wisdom of god, Heb. 24. 1. Cor. 1. and doth know the infinite value of these pardons, and that we ourselves cannot buy their, for any thing we have or can do, (for that a thing of such value infinite, 1. cor. 6.7 1. Pet. 1. Rom. 5. may not be bought) the will of his Sacred Majesty is, to communicate them most graciously and lovingly unto all sinners, 1. john. 2. that feel their necessities, and call to him for mercy, without leaving or taking any money for them, for if that every one of us, were Lord of or over the whole world, or such like, if one would grant his signory or Lordship, for the lest benefit contained in the same, yet it could not be bought, for the value of the world may be known, and the value thereof is unspeakcable, but for that he doth know the great poverty and misery, in which we live, yet by the great and unvaluable riches, Ephe. 2. Psal. 15. of his mercy, and for that he doth know our necessities, better than we ourselves, and of his abundant leave, doth command, for the health of our souls, jere. 1. all his commissaries and officials, the Prophets, Evangelists, Ezech. 2. and ministers of peace, Mat. 28. Mar. 16. Esay. 51. Esay. 52. & 55. that with great Instancy, and earnestly, they do call to all people, and command, that they receive this jubilee, of grace without giving for it any penny of money, or other thing that perisheth. By the Prophet Esay he doth publicly commanded in this manner, all those that thirst let them come unto the waters, and those which have no silver let them make haste and come, let them buy, and 〈◊〉 come and buy without silver, or any thing this, change wine for milk, you spend and waste your money, but not in bread, you spend your travail and receive no hire, nor reward. And because he will that the immutability of his truth, and the love that he hath towards us should be notorious, he doth desire and command that all the graces granted in this jubilee, esay. 54. Rom. 11. be for ever, irrevecable, with a privilege sempiternal, to as many as receive the same, and that it be not derogated by any other privilege, or decree, what so ever, neither in death nor life, but that it have always, full force, effect, and virtue, to deliver all them which receive the same, from all evils presently, and in the end, to deliver them, into the possession of the eternal and everlasting riches of his heavenly kingdom. But forasmuch as you, Nom. my officials, have received the grace of me by the gift of my holy Ghost, and have given credit to my promises and word, john. 6. Rom. 3. 1. Cor. 1. and have received my son jesus Christ for your reconcilyatoure by the faith that you have in him and his blondshedding, which is the privy signet and seal of my church, the which I do put to these presents, whereby I do grant unto you, all the graces, pardons, dispensations, Indulgences, & privileges in this jubilee, contained: In witness whereof, james. 2. 1. john. 3. Levit. 19 Mat. 22. I have commanded these presents to be firmed with mine own name, and sealed with my seal as aforesaid, and therefore for a sign that you have received the same, you shall bear in your hearts, john. 13. the love that you do own, and that is due unto your neighbours, and show the same by your works. jehovah. Item, our most holy Father doth condemn all, Gala. 1 and as many as do rebel and gainsay any thing herein contained, or that doth the contrary, and more over doth excommunicate them for ever from and out of his most holy heavenly kingdom. Here followeth the tenor of the excommunication and curse, that the spirit of god, which into say, the holy Ghost, doth pronounce against them their familiars, fautors, somnors, and doers. The holy ghost by the Prophet David to all the enemies of the grace & glory of Christ, that by any manner of mean, or way what sooner, do defend, stop, and let, the publication of these pardons, or the privileges therein contained, which are the only fruits of the Gospel, he doth curse, excommmunicate, and perpetually include the out of his kingdom, in this manner, O Lord, shed thy wrath upon them, Psal. 68.109. Psal. 69. and let the fury of thine Ire comprehend them, there habitations be brought low and let no man devil in their tabernuckles, let their tables be made a mare unto themselves, and let those things which should have been for their wealth be unto them an occasion of falling, let their eyes be blinded that they see not, and ever bow thou down their backs, let them fall from one wickedness to another, and let them not enter into thy righteousness, let them be wipped out of the book of the living, and let them not be written in the book of the righteoves, constitute and set thou an evil Prince over them, Psal. 109. and let Satan be still at their right hand, let them be as dust before the wind, Psal. 35. and the Angel of the Lord scattering them, let their ways be dark and slippery, Psal. 109. and let the Angel of the lord persecute them, when they go to receive judgement, let them come forth condemned, and let their prayers be turned into sin, Psal 109. let their days be shortened, and let another take their charge, let the extortioner consume all that they have, and let the stranger make spoil of their travails, let them clothe themselves with curssynges, and let it come into their bowels like water, and into their bones like oil, let cursing be unto them as a cloak, and like a girdle wherewith they gird their loins, and let them perish for ever in thy presence, like as did Coran, Bathan and Abiram, Nume. 16 Psal. 104 enemies of thy truth and righteousness, & also to thy saints and holy ministers, Amen. The form of the absolution granted to all those that receive this holy jubilee, and rather fear god then men. Mat. 16. john. 10.20. 1. Pet. 1 Acts. 20 Rom. 1. 2. cor. 5.11 Psal. 51. Misereatur tui omnipotens Deus. etc. I The minister of God the Father, by his authority in that behalf to me committed, and to all granted, also by jesus Christ, the only good and true pastor, or shepherd of the shape, that he did redeem with his most precious blood on his behalf, & by the virtue, efficacy, & strength of the gospel of eternal & most gracious reconsiliation▪ Col. 11. the which with your hearts, you have believed, I absolve you from all your sins, vemall and others, which you have committed against his most great holynesses divine majesty, so that you be penitent for the same, & can find in your hearts to amend your lives: I do restore you to the Church constituted for the living members of jesus Christ, the head and espouse thereof, Rom. 11. and to the participation of the two true sacraments, which are the sacrament of baptism, and the sacrament of the true supper of our lord, and do assure you of all the aforesaid graces, pardons, and privileges, and do pronounce that it is his fatherly will and pleasure, that you do enjoy them with an assurance of life everlasting. In the name of the father, of the son, & of the holy ghost. Amen, go in peace & sin no more. john. ●. I am the good shapheard, john. 10. that doth give my life for my sheep, I do know my sheep, and they hear my voice and follow me, and I do give them life eternal, saith jesus Christ our saviour. ¶ The ten Commandments of Almighty God, published by Moses, with a short explanation of the effect thereof. The first Table. hearken, exod. 20. Deut. 5. O Israel, I am the lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt and out of the house of bondage. The first Commandment. Thou shalt have none other gods but me. THere is no more gods but one, in whom it is very hard for us to put our trust only in, not for that he is untrusty, but because we are so corruptible in our flesh, that of ourselves we cannot but give credit unto vanity, for whosoever putrech his trust many thing maketh, a strange god of the same that he putteth his trust in, so that a man 〈◊〉 many strange gods as are the things wherein he trusteth, and hereupon it did rise at the 〈◊〉, the worshipping of dumb Idols & Images, so condemned of God, by the Prophets, but to accomplish and fulfil this com●●● 〈◊〉, it is necessary to have a constant faith, and confidence in God, that is, a perfect love, fear, reverence, and hope, and to let all our trust depend only upon him, the which is, to worship him in spirit and truth, & this commandment is a fountain from whence doth spring the whole Law, and the observance thereof. The second Commandment. ¶ Thou shalt not make to thyself any graven Image, Deut. 4. Psal. 80. levit. 26. esay. 41. acts. 17. Rom. 1. joshua 24. nor the likeness of any thing that is in heaven above or in the earth beneath, or in the water under the earth, thou shalt not bow down to them nor worship them, for I the Lord thy God am a gellous god, and visit the sin of the fathers upon their children, unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me, and show mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments. BEcause God is a spirit, he doth forbidden us hear to represent him in the likeness of any corporal or bodily thing, as though he were in it, or like it, wherefore those that will worship visible things, and maintain the same, contrary to the word of God, are threatened here as Idolatoures and breakers of the law, because the honour which they do own unto God, they do use it unto his creatures. The third commandment. Levit. 19 Mat 5. ¶ Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless, that taketh his name in vain. HE doth command that with our tongue we should testify that we have a God almighty, whom we aught to fear, to reverence, and to love, and not to swear by his name in any light thing, nor by his creatures to cover a lie, but if we do swear, we must do it to his glory, our salvation, and the help of our neighebors in good things, and then must we swear only by the name of the living god. The fourth commandment Deut. 5. ezech 20 genes. 1.2 ¶ Remember thou keep holy the Saboth day, Six days shalt thou labour and do all that thou hast to do, but the seventh day is the Saboth of the Lord thy God, esay. 58. Heb. 4. in it thou shalt do no manner of work, thou nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maid servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates, for in Six days the Lord made heaven and earth the Sea and all that is therein, and rested the seventh day, wherefore the Lord blessed the Seventh day and hallowed it. The ceremony of keeping of the Sabbath day, did finish and end with the ceremonies and shadow of the law, by the death of jesus Christ, but the substance thereof doth remain to this day, and perpetually, that is, to keep the Sabbath spiritually, to cease from labour & worldly work, that god may work in us, and that in all things that we do, we give him the glory, god grant we may seek the same for ever. Amen. Amen. The Commandments of the second table and so the first and fift in order. Honour thy Father and thy Mother that thy days may belong in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Deut. 5. Mat. 15. ephes. 6. It is commanded unto us by this commandment, that we reverence and honour our carnal fathers, every one in his place, that is to say, our superiors in each estate and degree, from the lowest to the highest, and so back again, to help them in necessity according to our abilities, to honour, reverence, and obey them, for that they are called to their places by god, & to draw us unto it, to do it according to his word, he doth incite and encourage us, by a cheerful and comfortable promise, and that is, our days shallbe enlarged, and we have long life, the which is fulfilled, in them that please god. The sixth commandment exod. 20. Mat. 5. Thou shalt do no murder. We are not by this precept or commandment only forbidden to kill or do any murder, and the interior causes of the same, but also he doth command a virtue clean to the contrary▪ and that is, to love our neighbours as ourselves, and so to do them good, as we would be done unto, yea even to the safeguard of their lives, if need be, by all the means that we possibly can devise. The Seventh commandment Thou shalt not commit adultery. 1. Cor. 3.1 2. Cor. 6. Herein is forbidden all kind of carnal concupiscence, between men and women, whiles it be by lawful matrimony, and there withal is demanded, a chaste heart with clean and pure thoughts. The eight commandment. Thou shalt not steal. exod. 20. THis precept or commandment, doth command us not to steal, and therein establisheth the possession of any thing that is righteousely gotten, and doth also put us in mind of the brotherly love which we aught to have towards our neighbours, and so one to an other with all humility. The ninth commandment. ¶ Thou shalt bear no false witness against thy neighbour. Pro. 5.6.19.21.28. IN this commandment we are forbidden to bear any false witness against our neighbours in judgement, and doth forbidden us to lie, backbits, and slander, but doth command us to speak always a truth before men, as if we did speak before our heavenly Father, the searcher of the secrets of all hearts. The tenth commandment. Deut. 5. Rom. 7. Mat. 5. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours house, nor his wife, nor his maid, nor his manservant nor his Ox, not his Ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbours. IN this last commandment, he doth bid us to be voided from evil and hateful covetousness, and that in place thereof be placed godly virtues, according to the good will and doctrine of god, to the profit of our neighbours, proceeding of love to them as to ourselves Rom. 10. The end and fulfilling of the law is jesus Christ, to justify all believers. I will show thee O man (saith the holy ghost) that which is good, Miche. 6 that which the Lord doth require of thee, and that is, (trwely) that thou do justice, love mercy, and always call upon god. Finis. Glory be to God, qd I Danyell.
