Catholic Church -- Controversial literature -- Early works to 1800
But the Apostles did not only confes Christe himself / but also
all Christes doctrine / all Christes wordes / the whole gospell
(I saye) of saluacion: of which Christe is the only Marcke. And
therfor when the preistes and senators of Hierusalem did forbidd
the apostles that they shuld nomore preache the gospell / they
ãswered hartily and playnly: whether it be right in the sight of
Godd to herken vnto yow more thẽ vnto Godd / iudge ye.
[[Act. 4.]]
For we can not but speke that which we haue seene and herde. And
when they were shutt vp in prison for free preching of the
gospell / and wer in daũger of their lyues / they are delyuered
of the angell / of whõ by the cõmaundement of Godd they do
heare.
[[Act. 5.]]
Go and stande and speake in the temple to the poeple all the
wordes of this lyfe. Therfor all thos thinges which are cõtayned
in the holy gospell / and holy scriptures / must be confessed of
them which are faithfull indeede: for all thos are the wordds of
Godd / and the wordds of saluacion / And all thos do sauer of
Christe and do bringe vnto Christe.
[[Ioan. 1.]]
In whom only it hath pleased God the father that all fulnes
shuld dwell / in whõ (as Paule doth witnes)
[[Colos. 1. 2.]]
we are made perfite so that we want nothinge / as agayn the
lorde himself doth testifie:
[[Ioã. 4. 5. 7.]]
he that eateth or drincketh me shall not be hungry or thrustie
for euer / but he shall haue in hym self the healthefull waters
of euerlastinge lyfe. Yf we do knowe / beleaue / and vnderstonde
theise thinges let vs gyue glorie to our only Sauiour Christe /
and not gyue it awaye vnto other / But let vs frely confes hym
only / and alone / in mouth / and deedes / to be our saluacion
iustice sanctificacion absolution or rather perfectiõ / the
peace of our soules / and lyfe euerlasting. But the lord doth
sett denying against confessinge. Ther are diuers kinds of
denyinge / which beinge but lightly rehersed it shall again
appeare what is the sowndness and simplicitie of confessinge.
Furst Christe and Godds worde is denyed / when our redeamer
Christe / and the worde of lyfe is opẽly blasphemed in playne
wordes / whẽ he is not acknowledged to be the only Sauiour / ãd
when the due dignitie and auctoritie of the scriptures is not
adscribed vnto them. Then by silence also is Christe and
Christes worde denyed / namely whẽ vppõ occasion offered we do
not deffende the glorie of the name of Godd and of the truythe
known againste the ennemis of Godd and sclaunderers of the worde
of Godd.
