1. On the unity, and Trinity of God. 12. In the Incarnation of the word. 3. In the passion and resurrection of Christ. 4. In the Article of Original sin. 5. In the Article of Faith in Christ Jesus. 6 That this faith cometh not of merits, but by the gift of Cod 7. That this faith is our righteousness. 8. Touching the extreme word. 9. Likewise they agreed in the Articles of Baptism. 10. Of good works. 11. Of confession. 12 Of Magistrates. 13. Of mens traditions. 14. Of Baptism of infants▪ 15. Lastly concerning the doctrine of the Lords Supper, this they did believe and hold, first that both the kinds thereof are to be ministered to the people according to Christs institution and that the Mass is no such work for the which a man may obtain grace both for the quick, and the dead. Item, that the Sacrament (which they call of the altar) is a true Sacrament of the body and blood of the Lord. Item, that the spiritual manducation of his body and blood is necessary for every Christen man. And furthermore, that the use of the Sacrament tendeth to the same effect, as doth the word, given and ordained of the almighty God, that thereby infirm consciences may be stirred to belief, by the holy Ghost. &c. Ex Paral. Abbat. Ursp.
