P. I grant you, that this is the state of the Question.
R. I here declare to you then, What is the Religion of the Protestants. IT IS THE LIGHT and LAW OF GOD CONCERNING HOLY KNOWLEDGE and BELIEF, HOLY WILL and PRACTICE, ⟨p. 11⟩CONTAINED IN NATURE and THE TRUE CANONICAL SCRIPTURES. Here note 1. That our Religion hath its Essential parts; And its Integral parts and Accidentals. I. The Essentials of our Religion, are contained in the Baptismal Covenant; which is expounded in the CREED, the LORDS PRAYER, and the DECALOGUE (as delivered and expounded by Christ, and the Law of Nature.) II. Our Entire Religion, in the Essentials, Integrals and needful Accidentals is contained wholly in the Law of Nature and the Canonical Scriptures. The Essentials are delivered down to us two ways: 1. In Scripture with the rest; 2. By the sure tradition of the Universality of Christians, in actual Baptizings, and the daily profession of Christianity. This is all the Protestants Religion. If you fasten any other on us, we deny it; we own no other. And none know What is my Religion, that is, What I take for the Rule of my holy Faith, Love and Life, so well as my self.
