Since v/hich time I hauenot bene aducrtifed by any man of any thing which they would require to be altered. Neither had I my felfe, by rcafon of my profeflion being o- thciwife occupied,any leafure to perufc it. And that is the caufejwhy not only at the fecond time but alfo at this iniprcfiionjyou haue no chaunge at all in the workt-jbut altogether as it was before. In dede I perceaued many men well minded and ftudious of this bookejto require a table for their eafc andfurthtrance.Their honeftdefirel hauefulhlledinthe fecond edition , and haue added thereto a pleiitifuU table , which is alfo here inicrted whici c 1 haue tranflated out of theLatine, wherein the principall matters difcourfed in this booke are nr.mcd by their due titles in order of Alphabete , and vnder euery title is fet forth a brccfe fumme of the whole dodrinc tau2,ht m this booke , concerninge the matter belonginge to that title or common place : and therwith is added the Bookc,Chaptcrjand Scdion or diuilion of the Chapter , where the fame doc- trine is more largely exprclfed and proued . And for the readier finding thereof, I haue caufedthc number of Chapters to be fet vpon euery leafe in the booke, and quoted the Sedions alfo by their due numbers with the vfuall figures of Algorifme.

Moreoucr,whcreas in the firft edition the euill maner of my fcribbhng hand, the enterlining of my Copie, and fome other caufcs well knowen among workemen of that facultie, made veiy many faultcs to palfe the Printer, I haue in the fecond im- prellion caufed the boke to be compofed by the Printed copic,and corredcd by the written: whcr- by it muft needes be that it was much more truely done then the other was, as I my fclfc doe know aboue three hundred faultcs amended. And now at this lalt Printing,the compofing after a Printed copie bringeth fome eafe,and the diligence vfed about the correftion, hauing bene right faythfully looked vnto, it can not be but much more truely fet forth . This alfo is performed,that the volume being fmallcr , with a letter fayre and legible, it is of more ealie price, that it may be of more com- mon vfc,and(o to more large communicating of fo great a treafure to thofe that defire Chriftian knowledge for inllrudion of their faith,& guiding of their duties.

To Ipend many wordcs in commending the worke it felfe,werc needeleile : yet thus much I thinkc I may both not vntrudy and not vainly faye, that though many great learned men haue written bookes of common places of our religion, as Melanchton, Sarccri- us, and other, vvhofe workes are very good and proHtablc to the Church of God : yet by the con- fcnting iudgement of thofe that vndcrlbnd the fame, there is none to be compared to this worke of Caluine,both for his fubrtantiall fufficience of dodrine,the found declaration of truth in articles of our religion,the large and learned confirmation of the fame,and the moft deepe and ftrong confuta- tion of all oldc and new hcrefies : fo that ( the holy Scriptures excepted)this is one of the moll pro- fitable bookes for all ftudentes of Chrilhan diuinitie . Wherein ( good readers ) as I am glad for the glory of God,and for your benefite,that you may haue this profite of my traucU, fo Ibcfcechyou let me haue this vfe of your gentlenefle, that my doinges may be conftiucd to fuch good end as I haue meant them : and that if any tiling miflike you by reafon of hnrdnefle , or any other caufe that may feeme to be my defaultj^ou willnot forthwith condemne the worke, but read it ofter:in which doing you fliall finde (as many haue confefTed to me that they haue found by experience ) that thofe thinges which at the fiiit reading fhall difpleafe you for hardncffe, fiiall be found fo eafic as fo hard matter would fufFer, and for the moft part more eafie than fome other phrafe which flioulde with greaterloofcnefle and fmother Aiding away dcceaue your vndciftanding .

And that this was my meaning, the boke it felfe dedareth, bcyng framed after a fimple and playne maner of teaching.

I knowe in dede with how haynous informations they haue tilled your mind & eares,to make our caufc moft Jk hatefull vnto you : but this of your demencie ought you to weye, that there (halbe no innocence, '*■ neither in words nor decdes,if it may be enough to accufe. Tiuciy if any, to bring tht fame in ha- tred, fhall alledge that this Dodrine whereof I now go about to yelde accompt vnto you, hath ben long agoe condemned by confente of all degrees, and atteynted by many iudgementes already ge- uen in ludicial courtes; al that he fay th fhall amount to no more but that it hath partly ben violent- ly throwen downe by the banding and power of the aduerfaries thereof, and partly ben traytorou- fly and fraudulently oppreCTtd with their lyes ind futtle praftifcs and Iclaunders. Herein is violence fhewed,that without hearing the caufe bloody fenteccs are pronounced againft it: herein is Fraude, that it is without dcleruing accufed of fcdition and euel doyng. And that none may thinke that wc wrongfully complayne of thefc thinges, you your felfe can bearc vs witnefte, moft noble King, with how lyeng fclaunders it is dayely accufed vnto you : as, that it tendeth to no other ende but to writhe fiom Kyngcs their fccpters oute of their handes,to throwe down all iudges fcates and iudge- mentes, to fubuerteall orders and ciuile goucrnementes , to trouble the peace and quicne of the people, to abolilh all lawcs, to vndo all propnenes and pofleflTions, Hnally to tunie all thinges vp- lide downe. And yet you heare the fmalleft portion. For horrible thinges they Ipreade abroade a- mongthe people : which if they were true, the whole world mighte worthily ludge it with the maintciners thereof, worthy of a thoufande Hers and gallowes.Wbo can now maruell that a com- mon hatred is kindled againft it, where fuche mofte wrongfull accufations are beleued.

And he is deceyucd that loketh for a long profpcritie of that kingdome , which is rot ruled by the fcepter of Godjthat is,by his holy worde : foralmuch as the heruenly Oracle can not proue vaync, whereby it is proclaymedj that the people fhalbe fcattered abrode where propheeie fayleth. Ney- Prouer. 29.18. ther ought the cotcmpt in our bafcncfle to withdrawe you from this purpofe.We verily know right well, how poorc and abicd filly men we be, namely in the fight of God miferable finncis, in the light of men moft defpifcd perfonnes, yea and(if y ou wil)certaine excrcmcntes & outcaftes of the worldjorwhatfoeuer viler thing may be named: fo that there remayneth nothing for vs to glorie vpon before God, but his onely mercie whereby we are without any our derfcruing receyued into the hope of eternall faluation:and before men, nothing but our weakencfle , which among them it is taken for a moft great ftiame to confcfle ib much as in countenance . But our dod ine m.uft be auauncedhye aboue all glorie of the worlde, muftftand vnuanc^uiftiableahoue all power: becaufe it is not ourcs,but the dodrine of the liuing God and of his Chnft, whom the Father hath appoin- p j,,_ j , j, ted King to bcare rule euen from fca to fea,and from the riuers euen to the cndes of the earth: and Efai.i 1 .4. fo to bearc nile, that ftnkingthc whole earth with the onely rod of his mouth, he may breakeit Pfal.z.ii. with all the yron and brafcn ftren^tb, with all the golden and filuer glittering thereof, as it were potters veflcls:asthe Prophetes propheeie of the royaltie of his kingdonic. Our aduerfaries in dcde do cr)'e out to the contrary,and fay that we falfly pretend the worde of God, whereof we be moft wicked corrupters. But how this is not only a malicious fclaundcr, but alfo a notable fliame- Icflcncflc, you your felfc by reding our coi-.fefTion, may according to your wifedome ludge. Yet here it is al(o good to fty fomwhat , eythcr to moue you to willingncfle and hcdefulncfte,or at tlic Icaft to prepare you away to the reding of it. Paul,when he willed all prophecy to be framed to the Rom.i 2.*. agreablcneife ot Fayth, hath fet a moft furc rule whereby the expounding of Scripture ought to be tryed. Now if our doftrine be examined by this rule of Fay th, the vidorie is alrcdy in our handes. For, what doth better or more fitly arree with Fay th, than to acknowledge our felues naked of all 'vertuc,that of God we may be clothed ? empty of all good,that of him we may be filled ? the bonde feruantes of finne, that of him wemayc bee made fre ? blindc, that of him we maye bee en- lightened ? lame, that of him we may be made ftreight? fcble, that of him we may be vpholden? to take fiom ourfeluesallmattcr of glorieng, that he alone may be glorious on hie, and in him wc may glone?VVhen wc fay thefe and fuch like thinges,they interrupt vs & cry out,that by this meane is ouerthrowen I wote not what blinde light of nature, fayned preparations, freewill, workcs me- ritorious of eternall faluations, together with their fupereiogations: becaufe they ca not abide that thewhole prayfc and glorie of all gcodncfre,vertue,righeteoufncfle, andwifdomeftiould remayne jfj^.j ,j^ in God. But we rede not that they were blamed that hauedravven to much out of the fountayne of liuing watcr:on the contrary iyde they arc fharply rebuked which haue digged to thimfelues pit- ^ tes, broken pitteSjwhich are not able to holdc water. Againe what is more agreable with Fry thjiha topromyfetothemftluesthat God will be to them a fauorable Father, where Clirift is acknow- ledged to be a brother and procurer of fauor?than afTurcdly to loke for al things ioyfull and profpe- rous at his handjwhoes vnfpeakablc loue toward vs liath preceded fo far,that he haih not fpart d his Rom. 8. j 2, *.iiii. only THE PREFACE only begotten fonncjbut that he gaue him for vs? than to reft in fure loking for faluation & eternal! life,where we thinke vpon Chrifte geuen of the Father, in whome fuche treafures are hidden?

Why therforc doe they with fo great crueltie & feirceneflc fight for the Mafl'e,Purgatorie,Pilgremages,and fuch trifles,fo farre forth,that they fay that without moft exprcflcd Faith(as I may fo cal it)of thefc thingSjgodlincffc ca not ftadc,wheras yet they prone not that any of thefe things come out of the worde of God? Why Co, but bycaufe their bellyis their God, their kitchen is their religion: which beynge take away , they thinke that they ftiall not onely be noChriftians,but alfo no me?For though Ibme of the do pletioufly glurt thefelues,& other Tome liue with gnawing of poore cruftes.yet they liue all of one pof,whiche without thefe warning helpes fliould not onely waxc coldc, but alfo throughly frcefe.Therfore how much more euery of them is carefuU for his belly,fo much more carneft warrier he is for their Faith.Finally they all endcuor the- felues to this,to kepe ftil ey ther bothe kingdome fafe,& their belly full:but of pure zeale none of the iheweth any tokcjbe it neuer fo little. Ncyrher yet fo doe diey ceaTe to flaunder our do{ftiine,andby all the colours that they ca,to accufe anddefame it,wherby they may bring it into hatred or fufpicio. They call itnew,and lately forged: they cauill that it is doubtfull,andVncertayne:they demaunde by what miracles it is c5tirmed:thcy afkc whether it be meete that it iTiouldpreuayle agaynft the c5fete of fo many holy Fathers,& the moft aunciet cuftome: they prefle vpon vs to cofes it to be fchifma- ticalljwhiche moueth warre agaynft the Churche,or that the Churche hath lyen dead in many ages in whiche no fuche thing hath been hearde of Lafte of all they faye,that there neede no argumctes, for(fiy they)it may by the frutes be iudged of what fone it is , namely whiche hathe bredde fo huge a heape of (edcs,fo many turmoyles of feditionSjfo great liccntioufncfle of vices.Trewly full eafy it iSjfor them,to triumph vpon a forfakcn caufe before the hght beleuinge and ignorant multitude.But if we might alfo haue our turne likewife allowed vs to (peake, verily this fliarpe heate woulde foone be cooled wherwith they doe fo with full mouth & as licetioufly as vnpuniftiedly foome agaynft vs. Firfte,wherea$ they call it newe,thcy doe great wrong to God , whofe holy worde deferued not to be accufcd of newnefle.To them indeedcl nothinge doubt that it is ncwe , to who/ne Chrifte is Rem.4.2 5. newjand his Gofpell is new.But they whiche kncwe that preachinge of Paulc to be olde , that lefus Chiifte dyed for our finnes,and rofe agayne for our iuftific.ation,fhall finde notliing newe amonge vs. Whereas it hath long lyen hidden vnknowcn, and buried: that is the fault of the vngodlinefle of me. !//€■ n^yvi «*»«i ^'ow fich it is by the bountifulncflc of God rcftored to vs,it ought at leaft by right of full reftitution "^ to receiue agayne the title of auncientie. Out of the fame fountayne of ignorance fpringcth this, that they take it for doubtfull and vnccr- Bfai.i.j. tayne.This verely is it which the Lordc by his Prophet complayneth, that the oxe knewe his owner, and the afle his mayfters ftall,but his people knew not him. But howefoeuer they mocke at the vn- certaint)' of n:if they were dryuen to fealc their owne dodrine with tlieir owne blood, & with lofle , of their life,men might fee how much thy fet by it. But farre other is our afliance, which dieadeth ney ther the terrors of death,nor yet the very iudgement feate of God. Whereas they require miracles of vs , they deale vnrcafonably with vs. Forwcecoynenonewe Gorpell,but holde faft the fclfe fame Gofpell for confirming of the truth wherof all the miracles do fcrue that eucr Chrifte and his Apoftles haue done. But tUs thinge they haue fpeciallaboue vs,that they TOTHEFRENCHEKING. ehcy cancucn to this daye confiimc theyr faiih with continiull miracles , Yea but nther they al- Icadgc miraclcsjwliich may weaken a minde othcrwife well {tablilhtd: they are lb eyther tnHingc and worthy to be laughed at,or vaine and lying. And ycr,ali:liough they were neucr fo moiiltruous, they ought not to haue ben of any valew agaynfte the worde of God : foralmuche as tiic name of God ought both in eucry place and at cuery tyme to be hallowed , whether it be by miracles or by naturall order of thinges . This falfe color myght paradiicnture haue made the better (liew , if the Scripture did not informcvs of the lawfull ende and vfe of miracles. FoijMarke teacheth that the Mar.Kf.jo. (ignes which folowed the preachinge of the Apoftles were fctte forche for the conHrmin^e oiit: Likewife Luke alio fayeth that the Lorde did beare wy tnefle to the word of his grace , when figncs A(ft.i4. j. and wonders were fliowed by the handes of the Apollks. Wherewith wholly agreeth that faying of the ApoWcjthat when the Gofpell was preached/aluation was cofiimcd by this that the Lorde Htb.a.4. did beare witnclfc to it with (ignes,and wondcrSjand diuerfe powers. Butthofc thinges whichc wee hearc to be the feahnges of the Gofpelljfhall we turnc to the dcftroyingc of the credit of the Gof- pell? thofe thinges whiche are appoyntedonely to IbbliOie the truthe, fliallwc applye to confir- minge of lyes? Therefore it is meete that the dodrine,whiche (as the Euangelift lay tth ) goeth be- Ioh.7.1 8. Sl fore miracles, be tirft examined and trycd. If that be alio wed, then it may lawfully take coliimation *"5°* of miracles. But of a true doctrine (?s Chrifte teacheth) this is the marke , if it tendc not to the fe- kinge of the gloiy of men , but of God. Sithe Chrifte affirmeth this to be the proofe of dodrine, miracles are wrongfully cftemed whiche are drawcn to any other ende than to gloritie the name of God alone. And we ought to remember that Satan hath his miracles, which although they be lug- glinge deceites rather than true powers , yet are fuche as may dcccyuc the ignorant and vnf kilfuU. Magitians and enchautcrs haue been alway famous in mir3cles:wonderfull miracles haue nouriilied idolatrie: whiche yet do notprooue to vs , that the fupeiftition of Magicians and idolaters is law- full. And with this battringe rammc in olde tyme the Donatiftes did Hiake the iimplicitie of the co- ition people, for thai they excelled in miracles. 1 herefoie we do nowe make the fame an(wcre to cure aducrHirieSjWhichc Auguiline the made to the Donatiftes: that the Lorde hath made vs ware inl^h. traS.t}. agaynft fuche miracle workers, when he forctolde that there ftiolde come falfc Prophercs , whu he witnlyingt fi^^nes and diuers wonders, fl'ioiildcjii- it were poffible, bringc ihc tied into error. And "^ ^u'^^^'^a' Paulc hath gcucn warninge that the kingdome of Antichrift Ihoulde be with all power , and fignes, jXor.11.14. and lyingc wonders. But thefe miracles (fay they) arc doone not of idols, not of forferers , nor of foifc projhetSjbut of the Saintcs. As though we knew not that tliis is the craft of Sata,to transtigure himleUc into an Angcll of lyght. In olde tyme the itgyptians worfhiped Icremic which was bu- Hiertn.in prtfit. ried amonge them , with facnfices and other diuine honors. Did not they abufe the holy Prophete lertm. of God to idolatry? And yet by fuche woifhippinge of his tombe they obteyned that they thought the healmgeofthe llin^ingeoflcrpentcsto be the iuftrewaide thereof. What fhallweefay: but thai this hath been and cu^r flinll be the mcfte luft vengaunce of God , to fende ftrength of illufion to them t'.i It haue not rcceaued the loue of triuhc , that they may beleeue lyinge ? Therefore wee 3.Then.2.ii« want not mincles, and thofe certaync,ind not fubied to cauillations. As for miracles whiche they bringe foorthc for thcmfclues , they arc mecre illufions of Satan, for as muche as they leade awaye the people from the true worfhippinge of theyr God to vanity. Morcouer, they do flaundcroufly fet the Fathers againft vs (I meane the auncicnt Fathers and the writers ofthc age as yet more vnconupted) as though they had them formaintaineis of their vngodlinclle ; by whofe authoritie if the debate were to be ended, the better part ofthc vidory ( to (peakeeuenmoftmodeftly) would bend to our fide. But whereas many thinges haue bene excel- lently well and wifely written of thofe Fathers, and in fome thinges,that hath happened to them which is wont to happen to men : thefe good naturall children forfootb_, according to the rightncfTc that they haue, both of witte,iudgement,and minde, do worlhip onely their faulres and errors : and thofe tliingcs which are well (poken,they either marke not,or faine as if they knew them not, or do corrupt them : fo as a man may fiy that their care was altogether to gather dung in of the golde of the Fathers . Then they opprcfTe vs with importunate crying out againft vs,as dcfpifcrs and enemies of the Fathers. But we do fo not defpife them, that if it were the matter of my prefcnt purpofe , I could very eafily proue by their confenting voices, the greater part of thefe thinges that wc fay at this day . But we fo reade their writings,that we alway remember, that all thinges arc ours, to ferue i.Cor.j. ai. vs, not to haue dominion ouer vs: and tliat we are Chrifles alone,whom we mult obey in all thinges without excejjtion. Who fo keepeth not this choife, fliall haue nothing ccrtaine in religion : foral- much as thofe holy men were ignoraunt of many thinges, do oftentimes ftriue one with another, yea and fometimes fight withthemfelues .

If chev hauc fo great delite to vfc nllegoricSjwhy do they not rather expound the ApoitlcSjthan any otheiyo be their Fathers,whofe appointed boundes it is not lawfull tc pluckc vp ? lor fo did Hiciome expound it, whofc wordes they hauc rcgiftrcd among their Ca- nons.But it they wiL hauc the boundes of tfie fame Fathers,whom they meanejto be ftedhdfly kept: why do they,fo oh as they hll:, fo hccntioufly pafle them ? Of the number of the Fathers were they, of wlioni the one fsydj that or.r God eatcdi not,nor drinkcth, and that tliercfore he needeth neither cuppcs nor di(kcs : the other fayd, that the holy thingcs require not golde, and that thofe thinges plcafe not with golde which are not bought with golde . Therfore they pafie the bound, which are in the holy thinges To much delited with golde,fiiuer,]uone, marble, precious frones and filkes, and thinkc that God is not rightly wonIiipped,vnlcire altogether they bee dilfolutely ^tt out with exqui- fite eorgcotilhtiTe; or rattier wuh outragious cxcefle. A Father was he, which fayd, that he thercrbre did n ecly catc flefhe on the day in which other abftained,bicaufe he was a Chriftian. Therefore they pafle the boundes,when diey accurfe the foule that taUeth flelh in Lent. Fathers were they,of wl.om the one layd that a Monke wluch labourcth not with his handes, is iudged as euiU as a violent taker, or (if you will)a robbtr.The other fiydjthat it is not lawful for Monkes to hue of other mens goods, although they be continually buhed in contemplations, in prayers,in ftudie . This bound alio they haue pafledjwhen they placed the idle and bai rell belUes of Monkes in ftcwes and brothclhoufes to be fatted with other mens fuhftaunce . A Father was he,\vhich fayd,that u is a horrible abhomina- tion to fe any image payntcd, ey ther of Chrille or of any Sainte in the temples of Chriftians . Ney- ther was this pronounced by the mouth of one man alone J but alfo decreed by an Eccklufticall Counccll , that that whiche is v/orfiiipped (lioulde not be paynted on walks . They arc farre from holdinge themfclues within thefe boundcs,when they leaue not one corner v/ithout images. An o- ther Father counfe]led,that hauinge doone the dune of naturall kindeneffe toward the dcadc in bu- rying thcm,we fhoulde let them refte. Thefe boundes they breake,vvhen they caft into mena con- tmuall carefulnelle of the dcade. One of the Fadiers was he , whiche teftiHeth that the fubftance of brcade and wyne in the facramente of the Supper fo remayneth and ceafeth not , as m the Lorde Chrift remaineth the fubltance and nature of man ioyned with the fubltance of God. Therefore they pafle meaflircjwhich fayne that after the wordes of the Lorde rehearfed,the fubftance of bread and V yne ceafleth,that it may be tranfubflatiate into his body and blcod.Fathers were th.ey which as they deliuercd to the whole Chuiche but one Sacrament of Thankefgeuing, and as they debar- red from it wicked and hay rouseuill doers: ^o did greuouflycondemneallthofc whiche bcynge • prcfentjdid not communicate of it. Howe farre haue the remoued thofe boundes,when they Hll not oncly ChurchcSjbut alfo priuatc houfes with their mafres,and admittc all men to loke vpon thera,& cuery man fo muche more gladly as he more largely pay eth,howe vncleane and wicked focuer they be:but allure no man to fayth in Chrifle and faythfuU communicatinge of the Sacramentes : yea ra- ther doe bo aftinglyfet out tofale their ownc worke for the grace and mcnre of Chnftc? Fathers were they,of whome the one decrced,that they flioulde be aiitogethcr debarred from the vfe of the holy Supper of Chriftejwhiche holdmg themfclues contented with partaking of the one kinde, ab- ftcyned from the othenand the other Father ftoutely maynteyneth,that lo the Chriif ian people the blood of the Lorde ought nor to be denied , for t!ie confefiion whereof they ate commaunded to flicdde rhcir owne blood.Thefc boundes alfo they haue taken away, when they haue by an inuiola- ble law commaunded the ftlfe Time thing which the one ofthefe Fathers punifhed with exconimu- nication,and the other rcproued with a ft rong reafon. A Father was hee , whiche affirmed it to bee rafhcnes to determine any thinge of a doubtfull matter on the one (ide or the other , without clcerc and euidcnt witneflinges of die Scripture. This bounde they forgot , when they ftabliflicd fo many conftitutions,ro many canons,fo many mayfterly determinations,without any word of God. AFa- ther was he,whiche among other hcrilics reproched Monianus with this, that he was the firfte that had charged men with lawes of Faftinges.This bounde alfo they hauc farre paired,when they com- , maundcd faftinge with mofte ftreat lawes. A Father was hee, whiche denied that mariage ou"ht to be forbidden to miniftcrs of the Churche,and pronounced a mans lyeng widi his o wne^ wyfeto be chaftitie:and Fathers were they , whiche agreed to his authoritic. Beyonde thefe boundes haue they gone,when they feuerely enioyned vnmaricd lifc,to their facrificers. A Father was hee whiche iud- gcd,that onely Chrifte ought to bee hsardCjof whome it is fayd,Hearc him: and that wee ought not CO haue rcgarde,what other men whiche were before vs,hauc layd or donc,but what Chnftc (which IS the (iiftc of all) hathc commaunded. This bounde ncyther doe they appoynte to themfclues,nor ■ doc fufFcr other to haue it appoynted them , when they fct bothe ouer thcmfckies and other any mayftcrs whatfoeuer they U laihei tlian Chrift. A Father was he, which afliniKd that :he*ChurcIie TO THE FRENCHE KING. ought not to fet it felfe before Chrifte , bycaufe hee allway iudgeth trevvly : but the iudges of the »^«^«/? t^ap,!.

All the F.ithers haue with one heart accurfed,and with one mouth pronounced it abho- minablejthat the holy worde of God ihould be cntangltd with the lubcilties of Sophiftcrs, & braw- luigs of Logitians.Doe they holde themfelucs withui thcfe boundcs, when tiiey goc about nothing elfe in thcu- v/hole hfcjbut with endles ItriueSjand more then Sophiftica]! brabhnges to wrappe and cncombre the limplicitie of the ScripturePfo that if the Fathers were now rayfed to hfc agayne , and fhoulde heare fuche an arte of brawhng,vvhiche thcfe men call Specuiatiue Diuinitie , they woulde beleuc that nothing ItlTe is done than any difputation had of God.But my crlkc fhould fpred it felfe beyond due boundts, if I wouldc reckon vp how boldly thefe men (hake of the yoke of the Fathers, whofe obedient children they would feeme to be.Tiewly both monethcs and yeares woulde be to Lttle for me. And yet they are of fo extreme and defperate fliamelcfnefle ,that they daie blame vs for that we Ihcke not to pafle the auncient boundes. But nowe whereas they call vs to Cuftome,they nothing prcuayle.For we flioiilde be mofte vn- iuftly dealt \vith,if wee fhoulde bee dnuen to yelde to Cuftome . Tre wly if the iudgementcs of men were rightjCuftome Hiould be taken of the good.But it oftentimes happeneth that men doc other- wife: for,that which is feenc to be done of many, by and by obteineth the right of a Cuftome. But the ftatc of menhath fcarfcly at any time bene in fo good cafe, that the better thmges pleafed the greater numbre. Therefore for the mofte.parte of the priuace vices ofmany,hatli bene made a pubhke error,or rather a common confent of vices: which now thefe good men would haue to ftand for a law.

They can not , though they wouldc biuftlor it,denie that the Counccll,for fo muthe as concerneth outwarde folemnities, was lawful!, •and fummoned not onely of one Pope.but of two.Eugenius was there condemned of fchifmc, re- bcllion,andobftmacic,withthewholeflockeofCardinalsandBifliops, whiche hid v/ith him pra- difed the diifolution of the Councell. Yet afterwardc beynge borne vp by the fuiour of Princes, he recoucred his Papacie fafe agayne.That tledion of Aymee , whiche had been orderlie made by the authoritie of a general! and holy Synode , vaniflied away in a fmokc : fauinge thathec himfelfc I was TO THE FRENCHE KING. was appcafed with a Cardinals hatte,as it were a barking doggc with a peece of bread caft \Tito him. Out of the bofome of thcfe herctickes,rebelles, and obftinatcs,are proccded all the Popes , Cardi- nallsjBifhops, Abbots,and Pneftes that haue bene (incc . Here they are taken and can go no funher. For,to whether fide will tl'.ey geue the name of the Church ? WjU they denye that theCouncel was eenerall, which wanted nothing to the outward maieftie : namelvjWhich being folcmnly fummoned by two Bulles,and well framed m the order of all thinges, continued m the fame dignitie to the laft end ? Will they contcflc Eugenius with all his company a fchifmatike, by whom they arc all landi- fied ?Therforc either let them othcrwife define the forme of the Chuich,or they all as many as are of them fiiall be of vs accompted fchifmatikes which wittingly and willingly haue bene ordered of heretikes.Ifithadneuer before bene knowen,that the Church is not bound to outward pompcs, they themfclucs may be lo vs a large proofe,whieh vndcr that glorious title of the Church haue fo long fo proudly bojfted themfclucs, whereas yet they were the deadly pclhlcnccs of the Church . I (jjeake not of their maners,and thole tragicall doinges wherewith their whole hfc fwiuTnetli full: bi- caufethey fay that they be the Pharifees which are to be heard, not to be followed. But if ye will ' fpare fome ofyour leyfure to read our writinges,you Hiali plainly know that ihc very dcftrinc , the dodrinc it fclfe/or the which they fay that they be the Church, is a deadly butcheryc of foulcs, the iirebrande,ruine,and deftrudion of the Church. y Finally, they do iiot vprightly enough,when they doe fpitcfully rehearle how great troubles, vprores,and contentions the preaching of our dodrine hath drawen with it, and what fruites it now beareth in many . For the blame of thefe euiUs is vnworthily layde vpon it, wluch ought rather to haue bene imputed to the malice of Satan. This is as it were a cert.iinc natuiall propcrtie of the worde of God, that whenfoeucr it rifcth vp , Satan is neucr quiet or flecping. 1 lus is the mcft (lire and moft tiuily marke, whereby it is difceined from lying doCtrincs, which doc eafily llicwe forth themfelues when they are receaucd with fauouiable cares of ail nicHjSnd ;;re hcr.rd of the world re- ioycing at them . So in certaine ages pafle,when nil thinges v/cre diov/iicd in dccpe d -rkntfle , the. Lordt ot: this worlde m:;dc a fport and a play in mnner of all mcnj?nd i;iy idle and ..ooke his pleafure Lke a certaine Saidanapalu^ in found peace. For, what lliould he els doe but lau, h and plry bem^; in quiet and peaceable pollcliion of his kingdome ? But when the hght IliiDino from aboue ioincwhat fcatiercd abroad his darknellc, when that fliongman troubled and ailaiiod his kingdome, then he -* began to (hake of his wonted drovvfincI]e,& haliiiy to arme himfelfe. A.id Hrll he liri ed vp the force ot men, whereby he might violently opprefle the tiurh beginning todiine. By which when he no- thing preuailcd, he turned to futile ennappinges . He llirred vp difllntions and difagreemcntes of dodrines by his Catabaptiftes,and other monfti uous leude nien,whercby he might daikcn it and at length vtteily quench it . And now he continueth to allayle it with both engines . For he traucUeth both by the force and power of men to plucke vp that feedc,and with his darnejl (as much as in him lyeth) to choke it, that it may not growe and bearc frute . But all tliis he doth in vaine, if we heare the warning of God, which both hath long before opened hiscraftes vnto vs,that he (houldenot take vs vnware,and hath armed vs with fufficient defences againft ail his engines. But how great ma- licioufneffe is it to lay vpon the woidc of God the hatred either of the feditions,which noughty and rebellious men do ftirre vp,or of the fedes which deceauers do raife againll it ? Yet it is no new ex- ample . Elias was aikcd whether it were not he that troubled Ifraell. Chrilt was efteemed of the lewes a feditious man. The Apoftles were accufed of making a comotion among the people. What other thing doe they whicii at this day doe father vpon vs all the troubles,vprores,and contentions that boyle vp againft vs ? But what is to be anfwercd to fuch, Ehas hath taught vs : namely that it is , .Knjj. » S. not we that fcatter cnors or Ihtre vp vprores:but it is they themfclucs that wrafllc againft the pow- er o!- God.But as that one thing alone is iufficient to beate backc their rantnefle,fo againe wc ought to mectc with the weaknefl'e of other,who oftentimes happen to be moued with fuch otfences,and intheirdifinayingto waucr . But let them, to the end that they may not faint widitlus difmaying and be difcouraged, know that the Apoftles in their time felt by experience the fame thinges that now happen vnto vs . There were vnlearned and vnftedfaft men, which wrefted to their ownede- ftrudionjthofe thinges that Paule had written by the mfpiration of Gcd,as Peter fay th . There were i.Pet. j .i tS. defpifers of God,which when they heard that finne abounded to the ende that grace might more a- boundjbvandby obiedcd. We will then abide in finne,that grace may abound. Whc they heard that the faythfuU are not vnder the lawe,they byandby anfwcred, We will then finne, bicaufe we are not Rom.tf.i.& 1 5. vnder the bwe, but vnder grace . There were that accufed him as an exhorter to euill. There entred priuily many falfe Apoftles to deftroy the Churches which he had builded. Some by enuie and con- rh:Ijp.i.i5. tention,and not purely,yeaand mahcioufly preached the Gofpel,thinkingto adde more afflidion to his bandes . Somewhere the Gofpcll not much profited. Ail fought their ownc, & not the thinges ^.iij. of ^ IKE P R E F A C fi of lefus Chaft.Some went backewardcjdogges to their vomitCjand fwine to their wallowing in the myre. The nioft part did drawe the hbcrtie of the Spinte to the licentioiifncfle of the fleflie .^ Many brethren crept m,by whom there came afterward great daungers to the godly. Among the brethren thcmfclues were many ftrifes raifed vp. What fiiould the Apoftles haue done in this cafe ? Shoulde they not eythcrhauediflembled for a time, or rather altogether haucgeuen ouer and forfaken the Gofpell which they fawe to be the fedeplot oFfo many contentions, the matter of fo many daun- gcrsjthe occadon of fo many offences ? ^ o. But for helpe in fuch diftreflcs this came in their minde, Luke. 2. J 4. that Chnft is the Itone of ftombling and rocke of ofRncc/et vnro the ruine and nfing againe of ma- ny^and for a figne that fhould be fpoken againlh With which affiance they being armed, went for- ward boldlv thi-ough all daungers of vprores and offences . With the fame thought we alfo ought 2.Cor. j.i(?. to be vpholden/orafmuch as Paule teffiheth that this is tiie perpetual] propertie of the Gofpell, to be the fauour of death vnto death to them that pen/he, although it were ordained to this vfe, that it fhould be the fauour of life vnto Iife,and the power of God vnto the faluation of the faithflillrwhich verily we fhoulde alfo feele,if we did not with our vnthankfiilnefTe corrupt this fofiagulara bene- fitcofGod, and turne that to our owncdeftrudion, which ought to haue bene tovstheonely de- fence of our fafetie. But now I returne to y ou,my foucralgne Lorde . Let thofe falfe reportes nothing moue you, by which our aduerfaries trauell to caft you in feare of vs, with f^ty ing that by this new Gofpell (for fo they call it) nothing is hunted for and fought but fitte occafion of ieditions,and vnpunifhcd hber- tie of vices . For our God is not the author of diuifion, but of peace : and the fonne of God is not the minifter of finne,which came to deftroye all the workesoftheDcuill. And we are vnworthily accufedoffuchdefircs,whcreofwcneuergaue any fufpition were it neuer fo fmall . It ishkelythat we forfooth doe pradife the ouerthrowing of kingdomes, cf whom there h?.th neuer bene heard a- ny one feditious worde, whofe life hath euer bene knowen quiet and iiinple, when we liued vnder you: and which now being chafed from home,yetceafl'e not to praye for ail thinges profperoiisto you and your kmgdome . It is likely forfooth that v/c hunt for licentioufiielfe of vices, in whofe bc- hauiors although many thinges may be found f3ulty,yet there is nothing v/orthye of lo great repro- ching : neither haue we with fb ill fuccefle ( by the grace of God ) profited in the Gofpell, but that our hfe may be to thele backbiters an examplar of chaftitic,hberalitie,mercy,temperance, pacience, modeftie,and whatfoeuer other vertue . Vcniy it is by the proofe it felfc euident that we doc vnfai- nediy feare and worlliip GodjForafmuch as we defire that his name be hallowed both by our life and our death,and enuie it iclfe is compelled to beare of fome of vs a witncfle of innocence and ciuilc vprightnefrc,in whom this onely thing was punifhed with death v.'liich ought to haue bene acccmp- ttd for a fingular praife. But if any vnder pretenfe of the Gofpell do ftirre vp tumultes(as hether co it hath not bene found that there haue bene any fuch in your Realmc)if any pretend the libertie of the grace of God to defend the hccntioufneffe of their vices ( of which fort I haue knowen many) there belawes,and penalties of lawes,by which they may according to their dcferuinges be fharply puni- flied ; yet fo that in the meane time the Gofpell of God be not euiU fpoken of for the wickedncifcof natighty men. Thus haue you ( O King) thevenimous vniufticeoftheflaundercrs largely enough declared, that you may not with an eare of too eaiie beleefc\ bende to their reportes. I feare me afio leflc it be too largely fct out, forafmuch as this Preface is in a manner come to the quantitie of a whole booke of defcnce,whereby I entcnded not to make a defence in deede, but onely to molifie your minde aforehand to geue audience to the diiclofing of our caufe : which your mindc, though it be now turned away and eftraunged from vs,yea and enflamed againfl vs, yet we truft that we fliall be able to recouer the fauour thereof, if you (hall once haue without difplcafure and troublous af- fedionrcdouerthisour confeflion, whichwe willtobcinftcde of a defence for vs to your ma- ieflie . But if the whifperinges of the mahcious doe fo pofTtd'e your carcs,that there is no place for accufed men to fpcake for themfclues : and if thofe outragious furies doe Ihll with your wincking at them,exercife crueltie with prifonning,tormcnting,cutting,and burning : we (hall in dede,as ("hecpe appointed to the flaughter, be brou;2,hc to all extremities:yct fo,that in our pacience we flull pcfTeirc our foulcs,and waite tor the ftrong hand of the Lord; which fliall without doubt be prcfent in time, and ftretch forth it fclfe armed,both to deliucr thepoore out of afflidion, and to take vengeance 011 the defpiferSjwhich now triumphe with (b great ailurednefTe. .

The forfaking or mortifying of our felues, is part- ly in refped of men, and partly ,yea,and chccfly in rc- (ped of God.Tov/ard other men, the Scripture com- maundeth vs to doe two thinges : namely to preferre them in honour before our felues , and widi vnfained truth to employe our felues wholly to procure their commodities. How the fiift of thefe pointes is to be performed, is taught in the 5. 7. 4. and alfo how the Scripture leadeth vs by the hand to the fccond point, is fliewed in the 5.7.5. See certaine thinges pertaimttgto thispurpofe. FreiTvill. Man was endued with Freewill in the firft eftatc of his creation. 1.1^.8. which he loft by his fall. Of this the Philofophcrs were ignorant,and fo al fuch as fol- low them,geuing Freewill to man, are vtterly decca- ucd.i.iy.8. The pliablenefle or weake power of Freewil,which was in the firft man, doth not excufe his fall. 1. 1 5.8. It IS as w^ll for our proiite,as for the glory of god, to acknowledge all our ftrcgth to be but a ftafFc made of a reede, yea, but a fmoke . In the meane time we muft beware, that while we take all vprightnclTe fro man, we do not therof take occaiion of flothfulncfle. But rather we ought therby to be ftirred vp to feke in God al the goodiitfle wherof we our felues are voide. The defenders of Freewill do rather throwc it do wnc htdlongthanftablifhit. i.i.i. The Philofophers determine three powers of the foule, Vnderftanding,Senfe,& Will or Appetite: and they thinke that the rcafon of mans vndcrftading fuf- Ufeth for his good gouemance : that will is by fenfc moued to cuill, fo that it doth hardly yelde it felfe to Tcafon,and Ibmetime is diueifly drawen from the one to the other, but yet that it hath a free eleftion & can rot be flopped, that it may follow reafon her guide in all thinges : finally that vertues and vices arc in our powers. 2.2.2,5. The Ecclefiafticall writcis,al though they acknow- ledged the foundnclfe of vnderftanding , and the free- dome of will tO haue bene (ore wounded by finnc,yet haue fpoken to much philofophically of this matter. The olde writers did it for this purpofe , firft bicaufc they were loth to teach a thing that fhould be anab- furditic in the common iudgement of men , and alfo fiiecially leaft they flioulde geue a newe occafion of flothfulneflc to the flelbe being already to much dull 60 goodoeflc, as appeareth by many layings of Chry- foft:ome and Hicrome. The Grcke doftors aboue all other, and fpecially Chryfoltomc,do excedS meafurc in aduauncing Freewill. But all tlie olde writers gene- rally, except Augufhne, do fo vary and wauer in this point ofdodrine, that there can almoft nocertaintie be gathered of their writinges. They which came af- ter them, fell one after an other to worfe and worfe. The definitions of Freewill out of Origene , Augu- ftine, Bernard, Anfelme, Peter Lombard, and Tho- mas.2.2.4. In what thinges they do commonly geue Freewill to man,& of the three fortes of mans will,2.2.5^. Alfo of the common diftindion of the three fortes oflibertie.2.2.y. Whether man be wholly depriued of power to do good, or whether he haue yet fome power though it be weake:where it is (poken of the common diftindi- on of grace working and grace working togethcr,and what is amifTe in the fame diftindion.2.2.6. Forafmuch as it can not otherwife be fayd that ma hath Freewill , but bicaufe he doth euill of his owne wil,and not by compulfion,it had bene very good for the church that this word Freewill had neucr bene v- fcd, v/hich had raifed vp men to a damnable trufl of themfelucs. The old writers alfo do oft declare v^hat they meane by thu word, fpecially Auguftine, out of who there are many places alleged , where he wcak- ncth and mocketh the ftixngth thereof,both when he calleth it Bondwill, and when he cxpoudtth the thing it fclfe as it is at large. 2.2.7^8. Although the olde Ecclefiafticall writers do fomc- time to much aduaunce Freewill, and haue fpoken doutfully and diuerfly in that matter : yet it appcaicth by very many of their fayingcs, that they little or no- thing efteeming mans power , gaue the whole praife of all goodneflc to the holy Ghoft . Many fuche Cen~ tcnces are rehearfcd out of Cyprian, Auguftine, Eu- cherius3Chryfoftome.2.2.9. The power of mans will is not to be weycd by tlie (uccelTe of thinges, but by the choife of iudgement and the aflfedion ofwill.2.4.8. It is proued againft the defenders of Freewill that finne is ofnecefmie,and yetneuerthelelfe ought to be imputed : alfo that it is voluntary, and yet can not be auoyded. i.f. I. A folution of an other obieftion of theii-s , where they faye that vnlefTe both vertues and vices procede ofFreeelcdionofwill,it were no reafbn that man fhould either be punirtied or rewarded.2.5.2. Alfo an other obicftion 5 where they faye that if this were not the power of our will , to choofe good or euiU , then of neccflitie cy ther all men fhoulde bee good, or all men euiil.2. j.j. Againft the fame men alfo it is proued that exhor- tations,admonitions and rebukinges are not in vaine, although it be not in the power of the flnner to obey: and there is fhewed what effedc the fame doe workc both in the wicked and in the faythfull.2, j.4>f • THE TABLE. 1 1 is not to be gathcret by tlic commaundcmcntcs and lawc of godjthat man hath FrccwylJ and ftan^-h toperfourme them, tor Goddothc not oncly com- maiindewhar ought to bee done, but alfopromiftth grace to obey. 2. f. 6, 7, 9.

A Sacrament conhftcth of the word and the out- warde figne:But the Sacramentall worde is to be ta- ken otherwife than the papiftes thinkc.4.14.4. Sacramentes ceafl'enot to bee tcftimonies- of the grace of God, although they be geue alfo to the wic- ked, which do gather to them felues more greuous damnation thereby. 4. 14.7. Our faydi is fo confirmed by Sacraments,that yet it hangeth vpon the inwarde cfTcifhnll working of the- Spirit,4.i4.9,io,i 1. and no vertue is to be put in the creatures,Sed.i2. A confutation of the deuelifh dodrinc of the So- phifticall fcholes, that the Sacramentes of the new law do iuftify and doe gcue grace, fo that we do noc ftoppe it with deadly linne. 4. 14.14. Auguftines good diftindion between a SacramenB and the thing of the Sacrament, whereby is proucd that though God in Sacrametes do truly offer Chnft, yet the wicked receyue nothing but the Sacrament, that is tofay,the outward fygne.4. 14. 15, 16. We muii not thinkc that thcr is ioyned or faftcned to the Sacraments any fecretc vertue,wherby they by themfelues do geue vs die graces of the holy ghoft. 4.14.17. In the old time God gaue vnto his people fome Sacraments in miracles,and fome in natuiall thinges. And there is fpoke of the tree of life & of the rayne- bowc.4.14.18. Sacramentes are on the Lordes behalfe tcftimo- nies of grace and faluation, & on our behalfe tokens of our profeffion.4. 14. ip. The Sacraments of the old Chruch vndcr the law,, tended to the fame ende that our Sacramentes doe,. tiiatistofay,Chrift: whomyet our Sacramentes do. more playnJy reprefent. Wherefore the fcholemennes dodrine is to be reieded, which fay, that the old Sa« cramentes dyd fhew a fhadow of the grace of Godi&. ours do geue it prefcntly.4. 14.20,2 1,22,23. &c. Thefj) uefalfely called Sa cramentes. Whe wc deny thofe fyue to be Sacraments which, areinuentedby men, weftryue not aboute the name but the thing: bicaufe the papiftes will haue them to be vifible formes of inuifible grace.4.ij^.i. Many reafons are brought, why it is not lawful! for men to make Sacramentes . Alfo thercisadille-' rence to be put between Sacraments,and other cere-, monies.4.19.2. The number offeuen Sacraments can not be pro- ucd by the authoritie of the olde Church.4. ip. 3. Although the olde Church vnder thclawe, had moe Sacramentes, yet at this day,tlie Chnftia church ought to be cotent with thofe two, which Chrift hath oideyned: And it is not lawful for men to make othtr,. nor to adde vnto thefe any thing of their own.4.18.20 Sacrifices.

Our only propiiiatorie Sacrifice, is the death of Chrift: THE T Ghrift. Sacrifices of thankefgcuing wc hauc many, as all the duties of chaiitic, prayers , prayfcs, gcuing of thankes, and all that we do to the wrolluppmg of God.4.18.1 j,i6,i7. This mancr of Sacrificing is daily vfed in the church, and in the fuppcr of the Lord: And thcrupon all Chriltians arc Sacrificing Pncftcs. SAtisfaciions papijiuall.

A confutation of the blafphcmous error of the fcholcmen, that forgeueneflc of fynnes, and reconci- liation is once done in Baptilmc, but after Baptifme, we muft ryfe agaync by Satiffaftions. j.4.16. By fuch error, Chnlt is fpoyled of his honor, and the peace of c5fcienccs is troubled,forafmuch as they can neuer certainly deternunc, that their finncs arc forgeuenthcm.j.4.17. In Danieljwhcn Nabuchadonefer is commaunded to redcmeliis fynnes with rightcoufncflc, that fime redeming, is referred to God, rather than to men, & thecaufe of pardon is not there fet fourth, but ra- ther the mancr of true conucrfion . The fame is to be fayd ofcertayne other places of Scripture. 5.4.56. An expofition of that place in the gofpell, Ma„y finnes art for^euenhir, bicaufe fhe hath loued mnch: Meaning that loue is not the caufe, but the profe of forgeue- Iiefl"c.j.4.j7. The olde writers of the church did not fpeake of SatilFadionsin fuch fenfe as the papiftes doc: for they vnderitodc, that the penitent do make Satiffadion to the Church, and not to God. 5.4. jSjjp. Scripture, the iVordofGod, and the au- thority thereof. Men do not fufficiently know God the creator, & difccrnc him fro fayned Gods,by confidcration of his creatures jvnlcs they be alfo holpcn by the lightc of his Word. And God hath kept this order in teaching the that be his,not only fynce that he chofe the lewes for his peculiar people, but alfo from the beginning, euen toward Adam,Noe, & the other fathers. 1 .6. i . Eyther by oraclcs,or by vifions,or by the miniftc- rie of other, the fathers had the Word whicli they were certaynly pcrfuaded to bee the word of God, whereby they knewe the true God the creator & go- uernor of all things : wliich Word afterward, th.it he might prouide for men in all ages , he caufcd to bcc written in the law & the Prophetes,as it were in pub- like regifters , 1.6.1,5. in which place alfo is proucd by teftimoniesof Scripture, that the dodriiie of the VVorde, muftbcioynedto thecofidcranon of crea- tures, leltc wee conceyue a fickle knowledge of God. Of the which fay that the authontie of Scripture ABLE. hangcth vpon the iudgemet of the Churcb,& in how ill cafe welhould be, if it were fo. 1.7.1. This error is well confuted by the pbcc of Paull in the fccod chapter to the Ephefians, where he faith, that the faythfuU arc byldcd vpon tlic foundauon of the Apoftles & Prophetcs.i.7.2. In whatfcnfc Auguftinc faith, that he would not hauc beleucd the gofpell,vnlefle the authontie of the Church did moue him : which place, they doc cauil- loufly wrcftjtothe confirmation oftheircrror. 1.7. j. Although there be many other arguments, which do proue,yea, and do enforce the wicked to confcflc, that the Scripture came from God:yct by none other mcane, than by the fccrcte tclhmony of tlic holy gho(l,our hartes aretrucly pcrfuaded th.at it is God, which Ipeakcth in the law,in the prophets,& in the go ipcl: Andthis is proued by many places of Efay. 1.7.4,^ The orderly difpolition of die wifdome of God, the dodrine fauonng nothing of eartliLncs,the good- ly agreement of all tlie partes among thcmfclues, & fpecially that bafeneflc of contemptible wordc$,vtte- ring the hye myfterics of the heaucnly kingd6,are fe- cou helps to fbblilh the credite offcripturc. i .8 . i,z,i i Alfo the antiquitie of the Scripture, whereas the bokes of other religions, are later than the bokcs of Mofcs, which yet doth not himlclue inuent a newc God, but fetteth fourth to the IfracUtes, the God of their fathcrs.i.8,5,4. Wheras Mofes, doth not hyde the (hame of Leuy his father, nor the mourning of Aaron his brotlicr, and of Mary his fifter, nor doth aduauncc his owa children: the fame arc argumcntes, that in his bokes IS nothing fayned by man. i .8 .4.

A condulion of this poynt with rchearlmge certayne tcftinionies out of the ncwe Tcftament.Sed.2j. The feconde poynt is that the oldc Teftamcnt did- not ftande vpon the meiitesofmcn,but vpoxi the free mercy of God, The third poynt is that the couenant of the fathers with God , did then ftande vpon like knowledge of Chrift the Mediator.2. 10.4, Alfo in fignification of Sacramcntes , the Ilraelitcs vndcr the lawcwtrecgall with the Chriftian people. z.io.f,6. There are foure diftcrcnces oftl-ie olde Ttftament from the newc, whereuntowe may.ilfoaddea fifth. The fiiftc is , that although in tlie oldc time alfo the Lordes will was to direfte the foules of his people to the heauenly inhentaunce : Yet to the enJe that they might be the better nouriflicd in the hope thereof, he gaue it them to be beholden, and after a certayn ma- rcr taftcd vndcr earthly benefices: Bur now the grace of the life to come , beynge more dercly rcuelcd by the Gofpcll , hcc diredeth our mindes the ftreight way to the meditation thereof, Icauinge the inferior manner of exercifing wluche he vfed amonge the II- raelites.2.ii.i. Therforc the olde Church is compared to an heire vnder age, which is gourrned by Gaidians.2,1 1.2. For this rcafon , the fathers (o muchc cftemed this Lfc,andthe blcflings thercof.2.ii.j. The fecond dilfcrcnce is in figuies , wherewith th& olde Tcftament did fliew forth the image andlljadow of fpirituall good thingcs : The newe Tcftament ge- ucth the prcfcnttiuthe and pcrfcd body.There is aha a rcafon (licw ed why the Loi'd kept this order : And a definition of the oldc Ttibmcnt. 2.11,4. In thisfenfeitis fayd, that the Icwcs were by the introducftion or fcholingof the Liweled vnto Chnft,, before that he was deliuercd in the flcfli:2.ii.j.which appeared in the mofte excellent Prophetes that were endued with lingular rrace of the Spirit.Sed.6. The thirde difference, is t.ikcn out of the one and tliirty chapter of lercmy , & the tbide cha£^tvi' of lix feconde Epiftle to the Corinthias,that the olde Tcfta- ment is Lteral, and the new Tcftament \% fpiiituahth* olde bnngeth death, the new is the inftrument of hfe' 2.11.7,8. The fourth difTcrencc is , that the Scripture callcth the oide Tcftament , the Tcftament of bondage, by- caufe It engendrcth feare in mens mindes:but the new 15 called the Tcftament of liberty, bycaufeit rayfeth them vp to conh'dcce & furety. The three latter diffc- rences are comparifons of the law & the gofpcll. The farfte, ccnteyneth alfo the promifes made before the law. 1 he fathers hued fo vndcr the lawe and the oldc Teftamct , that they ftaycd not there , but alwayes a- fpired to the new,) ea and embraced a certayne com- municating therof 2.11.9,10. r-J^^ ^^^^ difference is,that before tiic comming o£ Chrift,the Lorde had fcuercd one nation , in which he would kepe the coucnaunt of his grace, in the mcanc time negleding .all other nations.So the calling of the GcniUcSjis a certayne (igne, wherwith the exccllencic of the newe Tcftament is fct foorth aboue the oldc : a thing fo incredible, tliat It feemcd yet new to the A- poftles thcmfelucs, beeyng exercifed in reading of the Prophets,and endued with the holy ghoft.i.i i, 1 1,12. A conclufion of this mattcr,and an aunfwcre to-di- ucrs obiedions of feme men , which fay that this va- ncty in the Church, this diuers manner of tcadiingc, fo gre.1t change of vfages and ccremcnics , is a great abliirditie. Where is declared riiat die conftancy of God appeareth in this chaunging , and he hathc done nothing but wifely , riglneoully, and in mercy , when he eoucmcth his Churchc , after one fone in childc- hode, and after an other fort in riper ace,& alfo when he did keepe clofe in one people the fhcwing forth of his grace before the comming of ChriftjwlMch aftcr- warde he poured forth vpon all nations. 2.11.13,1 4, Theft.
