You know, that we serve God according to his holy word, and the order of his Primitive Church.1 For (As Tertullian saith, the Christian people did in his time) Coimus ad divinarum Scripturarum commemorationem, si quid praesentium temporum qualitas aut praemonere cogit, aut recognoscere. Certè fidem sanctis vo••bus pascimus, spem erigimus, fiduciam figimus. We meet together to hear the rehearsal of the holy Scriptures, if the state of the present time do force us either to forewarn any thing, or else to call any thing to remembrance. Verily we feed our Faith with those holy words, we confirm our hope, we assure our trust. We minister the holy Sacraments in pure, and reverent sort: we Baptize in the name of God the Father, the Son, & the Holy Ghost: we receive the Sacrament of Christs Body and Blood from the Holy Table: we make our humble Confession, and fall to the ground, and pray ⟨p. 218⟩all together, with one heart, and one voice, in sprite, and trueth: and specially we pray for you, and for such others, that ye may consider from whence ye are fallen, and repent your selves, and return to God: we Excommunicate open offenders: we receive again them that show them selves penitent: we instruct our youth in the Faith of Christ: we make collections, and provide charitably for the poor. Of all these things, what one thing is contrary to the Catholic faith?2 O M. Harding, it is written, The mouth that lieth, destroyeth the soul: 3And Christ saith, The Blasphemy against the holy Ghost, shall never be forgiven, neither in this life, nor in the life to come.
