Be|cau&s;e there is &s;aluation in nane vther as the Scripture &s;aieth. (For his

Now, we haue &s;ik a coniunctio~ with Chri&s;t, by vertue of our vnion with him by iu&s;tifying Faith only: that as our &s;innes onely are the ch<GAP DESC="illegible" RESP="pdcc" EXTENT="1 letter">&s;e of his death, and that condemnation wherunto he was &s;ubiect: &s;o his death and righteou&s;ne&s;&s;e onely is the cau&s;e of our &s;aluation. And &s;o the cau&s;e of our &s;aluation is onely in him, and the effect whilk is our &s;aluation, com+meth to vs through him only, po&s;&s;e&s;|&s;ed by Faith: whairby he beco~ming ane with vs, and taking our cau&s;e v|pon
<PB REF="24">him, he deliuered vs from all &s;in and condemnation, and pre&s;ents vs faultle&s;&s;e and righteous before God. Neither aucht this to &s;&eacute;eme &s;trange to vs, as though h&eacute;ereby we were not made fr&eacute;e, &amp; truely holy in Gods pre|&s;ence, and m&eacute;et to be made partakers of the inheritance of the Saintes in light: or as though we coulde not get the effect in vs, wherof he is the cau&s;e &s;&eacute;eing the payment of ane man for a|nother, where ther is no &s;ik vnio~ nor coniunction, but the m&eacute;er right of &s;o|uerty-&s;hip, doth make the pairty in|debted for payment, fr&eacute;e, and able to enioy his freedome, as law, practi&s;e, &amp; dayly experience teacheth vs. But we by vertue of our marriage, and con|iunction with Chri&s;t by Faith, haue iu&s;t title and right to him, and &s;o to all that is his. As concerning the &s;owme of our faith, contained in the articles of the Beliefe, whilk is con|tinually rehear&s;ed among&s;t vs, w&eacute;e are to vnder&s;tand, that it &s;ets downe to vs, that there is one God, and thr&eacute;e per&s;ons in the Godhead, the Father,
<PB REF="24">the Sonne, and the haly Gai&s;t: the Father the maker and pre&s;eruer of all creatures, and fountaine of grace and gudene&s;&s;e. The Sonne, made man, the Red&eacute;emer and ran&s;ome for man. The holy Spirite, the &s;anctifier &amp; worker of the coniunction betwixt Chri&s;t and the Faithfull. The &s;owm of all is, that euery Chri&s;tian is &s;ure and certaine, that his &s;aluation is &s;oundly &amp; throughly wrought &amp; per|formed by Chri&s;t crucified and ri&s;en again. So that nothing re&s;ts for ma~ or ony other creature to doe, for pur|cha&s;ing or meriting his &s;aluation, or ony of the lea&s;t part thereof, for h&eacute;ere Chri&s;t receaued by faith, is all &amp; in all things. For the greater confirmation of vs in this Faith, be&s;ide the worde preached, are added twa holy actions, with outwarde &s;ignes &amp; ceremonies &s;ealing vp the &s;ame &s;aluation &amp; faith in Chri&s;t, to them that bel&eacute;eue, called the Sacraments: that is, holy &s;ignes ordayned by Chri&s;t in the newe Te|&s;tament, to &s;eale vp &s;aluation in him, who is &s;ignified, repre&s;ented, and re|ally,
<PB REF="25">though &s;acramentally, exhibited to them that bel&eacute;eue. Shortly, they may be called the &s;eales of the righ|teou&s;ne&s;&s;e of Faith.<NOTE PLACE="marg">Rom. 4, 11</NOTE> The&s;e Sacra|mentes are twa in nomber: to wit, Bapti&s;me, and the Lords Supper.

<P><HI>A.</HI> No: and therefore the bread in the Lords Supper, is no more tran|&s;ub&s;tantiat into Chri&s;t his body, the~ is the water in Bapti&s;me, and the Cupe or the wine in the Supper into the new te&s;tament, or blood of Chri&s;t.
