 CHORUS. 
 
 nnHOU source of my Salvation, 
 Thou conqu’ror of my death. 
 Who didst as my oblation 
 
 In torments yield thy breath ; 
 Who bor’st the dreadful sentence, 
 Due to our cursed race. 
 
 To screen my soul from vengeance. 
 Accept our thanks and praise ! 
 
 SOLO. 
 
 Behold and see if there be any sorrow like un¬ 
 to his sorrow ? 
 
 CONGREGATION. 
 
 I’ll be with the Beholders, 
 
 And see thee on thy shoulders. 
 
 Bear my prodigious load ; 
 
 Thou takst the curse—infliction, 
 
 Giv’st for it benediction ; 
 
 Thy death procures my peace with God.

 AIR. 
 
 Come, Congregation, come and see 
 Thy Sa' ior ifi Gethsemane ; 
 
 Here is a scene, which with amaze 
 Must strike thee : here astonish’d gaze : 
 
 Thy Maker prays. 
 
 CONGREGATION. 
 
 Most awful sight! my heart doth break, 
 
 Oh ! it can ne’er my rmnd forsake, 
 
 How thou for me hast wept and prayed : 
 Might I for thy Soul’s agony, 
 
 When wrestling with death bitterly, 
 
 Lord, as thy trophy be displayed ! 
 
 t 
 
 SOLO. 
 
 He was brought as a Lamb to the slaughter, 
 and as a sheep to the sacrifice ; yet he open¬ 
 ed not his mouth. When he was reviled, he 
 reviled not aoain, when he suffered he 
 threatened not, but committed himself tp 
 him that judgeth righteously. 
 
 CONGREGATION. 
 
 At his cross’s foot now tarry. 
 
 View his languid, marred face, 
 
 Mark his care tor John and Mary ; 
 
 To the Thief he offers grace. 
 
 Ah, he thirsts with love unshaken ; 
 
 “ Cod ! ivhv hast thou me forsaken ?” 
 
 And “tis.finish’d !” Jesus cries, 
 
 Yields his Spirit,-droops*and dies. - 
 
< 3 ) 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 Now with tears of love and joy 
 We remember all his pain, 
 
 Sighs and groans and dying cry : 
 
 For the Lamb for us was slain, 
 
 And from death our sou's to save, ^ 
 
 Once for us lay in the grave. 
 
 CONGREGATION. 
 
 Now haste, my soul, with awe and deepdevo-" 
 
 ti°n, . ? 
 
 To Joseph’s Tomb, thy Savior to beholdj 
 Laid in the dust, his body pale and cold. 
 
 Ah! in thy stead he drank death's bitter po¬ 
 tion : 
 
 He as a Lamb was wounded, bruis’d and slain, 
 For thee eternal happiness to gain. 
 
 CHORUS. 
 
 Sacred be thy Sabbath, Man of Sorrows ! 
 
 Sacred be thy soft repose ! 
 
 Soon by the glory of the father raised 
 Thou quit’st the gloomy grave. 
 
 And ever reign’st above ! 
 
 Praise-to the Prince of Life ! now'rest in hope. 
 —This fills our hearts with joy—our mortal 
 members, they too shall feel new life, and rise 
 to glorious day. 
 
 CONGREGATION. 
 
 What here sickens, sighs and groans. 
 
 There will prove victorious ; 
 
 Earthly here are sown our bones, 
 
 They shall rise most glorious;

 Death and woe,—ev’ry foe. 
 
 Which us here annoyed, 
 
 There .will be destroyed. 
 
 Lamb of God ! thou shalt remain for ever. 
 Of our songs the only theme , 
 
 For thy boundless love, thy grace and favor, 
 We will praise thy saving name : 
 
 That for our transgressions thou wast wounded. 
 
 Shall by us in nobler strains be sounded, 
 When we, perfected in love. 
 
 Once shall join the Church above.

P R E F A C E, 
 
 This new edition of Liturgic Hymns 
 for the United Brethren’s congregations, 
 containing Litanies and folemn Anthems, 
 with fome pieces belonging to the Ri¬ 
 tual, has been occafioned partly by the 
 necefhty of a new revifion of thofe Li¬ 
 turgic Hymns, which have been in ufe 
 fince 1770, and partly by repeated ap¬ 
 plications to have them enlarged. 
 
 The Brethren’s congregations have a 
 particular efteem for fuch meetings, 
 
 A 2 
 
 as

 as are more properly appointed either 
 for prayer, Triplication, and interceflion, 
 or for rendering thanks and praifes unto 
 the name of the Lord. This is a natu¬ 
 ral confequence of their gratitude, both 
 lor their high calling through grace, and 
 for that rich though undeferved enjoy¬ 
 
 ment of the grace of our Lord Jefus 
 Chrift, the love of God our Father, 
 
 and the fellowfhip of the Holy Ghoft, 
 
 granted unto them. For which reafon, 
 they will doubtlefs the more readily make 
 ufe of this little book for the above pur- 
 pofe with finglenefs of heart. 
 
 May our dear Lord direfl all our hearts 
 unto himfelf, and gracioufly accept our 
 thanks and praifes; may he pour out 
 anew upon his whole Brethren’s people 
 the fpirit of grace and of fupplication, 
 that thus he may be worfhipped by us 
 
 all

 all in fpirit and in truth, and that every¬ 
 one individually may fhow forth his 
 praifes on earth.

 When they crucified him, Jefus laid, Father forgive 
 
 THEM, FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO, and one of 
 the malefactoi s, which were crucified with him, faid to Jefus 
 Lord remember me, when thou conuft into thy kingdom and Je¬ 
 fus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, to day shalt 
 thou be with me in PARADISE. And when Jesus faw his

 to his Mother, woman behold thy son : then laid he to the 
 difciple, behoold thy mother : and from that hour that dilci- 
 ple took her unto his own home. And when the fixth hour was 
 come, there was darknels over all the land unto the ninth hour, 
 and the Sun was darkened, and at the ninth hour, Jesus cried 
 with a loud voice, faying, ELI, eli, lama sabachthani, 
 which is, being interpreted, MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY El AST 
 THOU FORSAKEN ME.

 now there was fet a vefsel full of vinegar : and ftraightway one 
 of them ran and took a fpunge, and filled it with vinegar, and 
 put it on a reed, and gave him to drink : when Jesus therefore 
 had received the vinegar, he faid, it is finished : and when 
 Jesus had cried again with aloud voice, he faid, father, into

 And behold, the vail of the temple was rent in twain in the 
 midft from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake, and 
 many bodies of Saints, which slept, arol’e, and came out of the 
 graves, after his refurrection, and went into the holy city, and 
 appeared unto many. Now when the centurion, which ftood over 
 againft him, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, law 
 the earthquake and these things, that were done that he lb cryed 
 out, and gave up the ghoft, they feared greatly, and the centu¬ 
 rion glorified God, faying, “ certainly this was a righteous man, 
 truly this man was the fon of God.” 
 
 The Jews, because it was the preparation, that is, the day 
 before the fabbath, that the bodies Ihould not remain on the crolj 
 on the fabbath day, (for that fabbath day was an high day) be- 
 fought Pilate, that their legs might be broken, and that they 
 might be taken away. Then came the foldiers, and brake thf 
 legs pf the firft, and of the other, which was crucified with him : 
 but when they came to Jesus, and faw, that he was dead already 
 they brake not his legs, but one of the foldiers with alpear pierced 
 his side and forthwith came thereout Blood and Water: and he 
 that faw it, bare record, and his record is true, and he knoweth

 {fiat he faith ti*ue, that ye might believe ; for these things were 
 done, that the fcripture fiiould be fulfiled : “ a bone of him fliall

 FAITH AND DOCTRINE, 
 
 ARTICLE I. 
 
 Fir ST, we avow and teach, with one confent, 
 agreeable to the conclufion of the Council of Nice , 
 that there is one only divine Being, who is named 
 and truly is GOD- 
 
 Yet in this one divine Being there are three perfons, 
 equal in power and co-eternal, GOD the Father, GOD 
 the Son, and GOD the Holy Gholt: 
 
 All three one divine Being; which is eternal, with¬ 
 out parts, without end, of immenfe power, wifdom, 
 and goodnefs; 
 
 One Maker and Preferver of all things vifible and 
 invifible. 
 
 And by the word Perfon, is not underftood a part 
 nor a property exilting in another, but one, who l'ub- 
 fifts by himfelf, in the fame fenfe in which the fathers 
 made ufe of this word. 
 
 ARTICLE II. 
 
 FURTHER we teach,"that fmce Adam’s fall all man¬ 
 kind, naturally ingendered from him, are conceived 
 
 FI 2 and 
 
[ 4 ] 
 
 and born in fin ; that is, that they from the very womb 
 are full of evil lulls and inclinations; and have by 
 nature no true fear of God, nor true faith in God, 
 neither can have. Alfo, that this- innate difeafe and 
 original fin,- is truly fin; and condemns under God’s 
 eternal wrath,, all thofe who are not born again through 
 water and the Holy Giro it. 
 
 ARTICLE III. 
 
 LIKEWISE we teach, that GOD the Son became 
 man, born of the pure Virgin Mary: And that the 
 two natures, divine and human in one perfon, as being 
 infeparably united, are oneChrill. who is true God and 
 true man, who was truly born, fuffered, was cruci¬ 
 fied, dead and buried, to the end that he might be a 
 facriiice not only for original fin, but alfo for all other 
 fin, and appeafe the wrath of God. 
 
 Alfo, that the fame Chrilt descended into hell, and 
 on the third day truly rofe from the dead; alcendcd 
 into Heaven, and there fitteth at the right hand of 
 God, that he may reign for ever over ail creatures,, 
 and govern them; that he, through the Eloly Ghoft, 
 may fandtify, purify, {Lengthen, and comfort all who 
 believe on him; may give them life, and impart to 
 them manifold gifts and good things, and protedl and 
 defend them againft the devil and fin. 
 
 Alfo, th:*t the fame Lord Chrift will at laft come 
 openly, to judge the quick and the dead, according to 
 the ApoJlles > Creed. 
 
 ARTICLE IV. 
 
 WE likewife teach, that we cannot attain to the for- 
 givenefs of fins and righteoufnefs before God, through 
 our own merit, work, or fatisfa&ion ; but that we ob¬ 
 tain pardon of fins and are made righteous before God 
 
 by 
 
[ 5 J 
 
 by grace, for Chrift’s fake, through faith, even by be¬ 
 lieving that Chrift hath differed for us ; and that for 
 his fake fin is forgiven us, and righteoufnefs and eternal 
 life bellowed upon us. For it is this faith, which 
 God will account and impute for righteoufnefs before 
 him, as St. Paul faith to the Romans in the third and 
 fourth chapter. 
 
 ARTICLE V. 
 
 FOR the obtaining fuch faith, God hath inftituted 
 the office of preaching, and hath given the gofpel and 
 the facraments, whereby, as through means, he gives 
 the holy Spirit, which holy Spirit works faith in thofe 
 who hear the Gofpel where and when it pleafeth him. 
 What is taught by the Gofpel, is, that we, through 
 the merit of Chrift, not through our own merit, have 
 a propitious God, if fo be that we believe it. 
 
 ARTICLE VI. 
 
 WE alfo teach, that fuch faith (hall bring forth good 
 fruits and good works; and that a man mud do all 
 thofe good works, which God hath commanded, 
 for God’s fake; but mud not trud in fuch works, to 
 merit grace before God thereby : For we receive for- 
 givenefs of fins and righteoufnefs through faith in 
 Chrift, as Chrid himfelf fpeaks, Luke, xvii. When ye 
 have done ally fay : We are unprofitablefervants. So alfo 
 the fathers teach ; for Ambrofe fays: God hath de¬ 
 termined, that whofoever believeth in Chrift diall be 
 faved : And not through works, but only through faith, 
 without merit, have the forgivenefs of fins. 
 
 ARTICLE VII. 
 
 WE alfo teach, that there is and at all times re¬ 
 mains a holy Chriftian Church, which is the afTembly 
 
 H 3 of 
 
[ 6 ] 
 
 of all believers; in which the Gofpel is preached 
 purely, and the holy facraments adminiftered agree¬ 
 ably to the Gofpel. 
 
 For this is enough towards true unity of the Chrif- 
 tian Churches, that they be unanimous herein, in 
 preaching the Gofpel according to its pure fenfe, 
 and adminiftering the facraments conformably to the 
 word of God. Nor is it neceffary to true unity of 
 the Chriftian Churches, that everywhere an uniformity 
 of ceremonies, which are eftablifhed by men, fhould 
 be retained. Paul fays, Eph. iv. One body, One Spi¬ 
 rit ., ns ye are called in One hope of your calling : One Lord , 
 One faith , One baptifn „ 
 
 ARTICLE VIII. 
 
 LIKEWISE, although the Chriftian Church is pro¬ 
 perly nothing but the afiembly of all believers and 
 faints, yet fince in this life many falfe chriftians and 
 hypocrites, yea open tinners, remain amohgft the 
 godly, the facraments are notwithftanding valid, al¬ 
 though theprieft, by whom they are adminiftered, be 
 not pious: As Chrift himfelf hath intimated, Mat¬ 
 thew, xxiii. 2. The Pharifeesfit in Mofes’s feat , isfc, 
 
 ARTICLE IX. 
 
 CONCERNING Baptifm we teach, that it is necef- 
 fury; and that through it, grace is tendered ; that alfo 
 children ought to be baptized ; who through fuch bap¬ 
 tifm are delivered up unto God, and become pleating 
 unto him. 
 
 ARTICLE X. 
 
 CONCERNING the Supper of the LORD, we 
 teach thus, that the true body and blood of Chrift are 
 
 really 
 
[ 7 3 
 
 really prefent in the Lord’s Supper with the vifible 
 bread and wine, and are imparted and received. 
 
 ARTICLE XI. 
 
 CONCERNING confeflion is taught, that private 
 abfolution fhould be kept up in the church and not be 
 omitted. Although in confeflion there is nc neceflity 
 to recount all mifdeeds and fins, fince this is alfo not 
 poffible. Pf. xix. Who can itnderfand his errors? 
 
 ARTICLE XII. 
 
 CONCERNING repentance it is taught, that thofe, 
 who have finned after baptifm, may obtain remillion of 
 fins, and abfolution fhall not be refufed them by the 
 Church at any time, when they do fo repent. Now 
 true and genuine repentance is properly forrow and 
 grief, or to be in terror on account of fin, and yet at 
 the fame time, to believe in the Gofpel and in abfolu- 
 ticn, that fin is forgiven and grace purchafed through 
 Jefus Chrift, which faith doth again comfort and pa¬ 
 cify the heart. 
 
 Afterwards fhall alfo amendment follow, and that 
 a man leave off from fins; for this fhould be the fruit 
 of repentance, as John fays, Matt. iii. Bring forth 
 fruits meet for repentance. 
 
 ARTICLE XI,II. 
 
 CONCERNING the ufe of the facraments we teach, 
 that the facraments were inflitutcd, not only to be 
 marks and teftimonies, whereby Chriftians may he 
 outwardly known, but that they are marks and tef¬ 
 timonies of the divine will towards us, to the awaken¬ 
 ing and {Lengthening our faith thereby. Wherefore 
 they alfo require faith; and are then rightly ufed, 
 
 when 
 
r * ] 
 
 when they are received in faith and our faith is ftrength- 
 ened thereby. 
 
 ARTICLE XIV. 
 
 CONCERNING Church Government is taught, that 
 without a regular call, no one {hall publicly preach or 
 teach in the church, nor adminifter the facraments. 
 
 ARTICLE XV. 
 
 CONCERNING Church regulations made by men, 
 we teach, that thofe fliould be kept, which can be kept 
 without fin and which ferve unto peace and good 
 order in the Church; as certain holidays, feftivais, 
 and the like; but the people are to be informed at the 
 fame time, that the confcience muft not be burthened 
 therewith, as if fuch things were neceffary to falva- 
 tion. For touching this it is taught, that all ordi¬ 
 nances and traditions made by men, in order to re¬ 
 concile God and merit grace thereby, are contrary to the 
 Gofpel and to the dodtrine of faith in Chrift. Where¬ 
 fore cloyfter-vows (vows of celibacy), and other tra¬ 
 ditions of the difference of meats, days, See. by which 
 men think to merit grace and to make fatisfaction for 
 fin, are not valid, and contrary to the Gofpel. 
 
 ARTICLE XVI. 
 
 CONCERNING the ftate and fecular government 
 we teach, that all magiftracy in the world, and fettled 
 government, and laws, and good order, were created 
 and inflituted by God. And that all Chriftians may 
 without fin bear the office of rulers, princes, and 
 judges, agreeably to Imperial and other ftatutes in ufe, 
 may decide cafes and pronounce judgement, may pu- 
 nifh evil-doers with the fword, carry on juft wars and 
 3 
 
[ 9 ] 
 
 fight, may buy and fell, take an impofed oath, have 
 pofleffions, live in wedlock, &c. 
 
 For the Gofpel doth not inculcate an outward and 
 temporal, but an inward and everlafting date' and 
 righteoufnefs of the heart, and doth not overturn ie- 
 cular rule and government, nor marriage: But re¬ 
 quires, that we obferve all thefe as the real ordinances 
 of God ; and in fuch dates, that every one according to 
 his vocation, (how forth Chridian charity and genu¬ 
 ine good works. 
 
 Therefore it is the duty of Chridians to be fubjebfc 
 to the magibracy and obedient to its commands in 
 every thing that can be done without fin. 
 
 For if indeed the command of the magidrates can¬ 
 not be done without fin, one mud obey God rather 
 than men. Adis, v. 
 
 ARTICLE XVII. 
 
 WE a!fo teach, that our Lord Jefus Chrid will at the 
 lad day come to judgement, and will raife all the dead. 
 To the eledt and believers, he will give eternal life 
 and everlading joy. But wicked men and devils, he 
 will condemn to hell and everlading punifhment. 
 
 ARTICLE XVIII. 
 
 CONCERNING free will it is taught, that man hath 
 in fome meafure, a free will, to live honed outwardly, 
 and to chufe between thofe things, which reafon com¬ 
 prehends. But without grace, help, and operation of 
 the holy Spirit, a man is not able to be pleafing to God, 
 from the heart to fear God, to love or to believe in 
 him, or to cad away out of the heart the innate 
 evil lud. But fuch things are effected through the 
 holy Spirit, which is given through God’s word. For 
 Paul fays, i Cor. ii. The natural man receiveth not the 
 things of the Spirit of God . 
 
 And 
 
[ 10 ] 
 
 And that it may be known that herein we teach 
 nothing new, thefe are the clear words of St. Aufin 
 concerning free-will, as are here written out of Hy- 
 pognoJHcs , Book iii. “We acknowledge, that there 
 is in all men a free-will; for they all have a natural 
 implanted underltanding and reafon: Not that they 
 are able to tranfadl any thing with God, as from the 
 heart to love God, and to fear him; but only in the exter¬ 
 nal works of this life they have liberty to chuie good or 
 bad; the good I mean which nature is able to do; as 
 to work in the field, or not; to eat, to drink, to go to a 
 friend, or not; to put on or put off a garment, to build, 
 to take a wife, to follow a trade; and to do fuch like 
 things, which are profitable and good: All which, 
 however, is not, neither fubfifts without God ; but all 
 is from him and through him. On the other hand 
 alfo, man by his own choice can undertake fomething 
 bad, as to kneel before an idol, to commit murder,” &c. 
 
 ARTICLE XIX. 
 
 CONCERNING the caufeof fins, it is taught among 
 us, that although GOD Almighty created and upholds 
 all nature, yet the perverfe will doth work fin in all who 
 are wicked and defpifers of God: Such as the will of 
 the devil and of all the ungodly is, who, as foon as 
 God withdrew his hand, turned himfelf from God 
 unto evil, asChrift fpeaks, John, viii. The Devil , when 
 he fpedketh a lie , fpeaketh of his own. 
 
 ARTICLE XX. 
 
 Of Faith and Good Works. 
 
 FORASMUCH as the doctrine of faith, which is 
 the chief point in Chriftianity, had for a long time , as it 
 muf be acknowledged , not been inf fled upon , but merely 
 
 the 
 
[ " ] 
 
 the Jo Brine of works, our people have given the follow¬ 
 ing explanation concerning it: 
 
 Firft, that our works are not able to reconcile us 
 to God, and purchafe grace, but that this is only ef¬ 
 fected through faith, when one believes that our fins 
 are forgiven us for Chrift’s fake; who alone is the 
 Mediator to reconcile us to the Father. Now whoever 
 fuppofes, that he can by works accomplifh this and 
 merit grace, he defpifes Chrift, and feeks a way of 
 his own to God, contrary to the Gofpel. 
 
 This doCtrine of faith is openly and clearly treated 
 of by Paul in divers places, particularly in Eph. ii. By 
 grace are ye faved through faith , and that not of yourfelves : 
 It is the gift of God ; not of works, left any man Jhould 
 boajl, Zjfc. 
 
 And that herein no new fenfe is introduced, may 
 be demonftrated out of St. Aujlin, who treats of this 
 •point with accuracy, and alfo thus teacheth ; That we 
 through faith in Chrift obtain grace, and are juftified 
 before God, and not through works, as his book de 
 fpiritu Is' litera fhows throughout. 
 
 Now although this doCtrine is much defpifed by in¬ 
 experienced people, yet it is found, that to tender 
 and alarmed confidences it is very comfortable and 
 wholefome: For the confidence cannot come to reft 
 and peace through works, but only through faith, by 
 which it is enabled firmly to conclude within itfelf, 
 that for Chrift’s fake it hath a gracious God, as Paul 
 fays, Rom. v. Being juf if edby faith, we have peace with 
 God. 
 
 Inftruffion is alfo given, that we do not here fpeak 
 of fuch faith, which the devils and wicked men have, 
 who believe the hiftory, that Chrift hath fuffered and 
 is rifen from the dead. But we fpeak of true faith, 
 which believes, that we through Chrift do obtain 
 .grace and the forgivenefs of fins. And whoever 
 
 knows, 
 
[ ] 
 
 knows, that through Chrift he hath a gracious God, 
 doth confequently know God, call upon him, and is 
 not without God like the Heathen. For the devil and 
 the wicked do not believe this article, (the forgivenefs 
 of fin,) and therefore they are at enmity with God, 
 cannot call upon him, hope for no good from him. 
 Wherefore, as we have now Ihown, the Scripture 
 fpeaketh of faith, and calls not by that name fuch a 
 knowledge as devils and wicked men have. For con¬ 
 cerning faith, it is thus taught, Heb. xi. that faith is 
 not only to know the hillories, but to have a confi¬ 
 dence towards God of receiving his promife. And 
 St. Aujlin puts us in mind, that we are to underftand 
 that word (faith) iv the Scripture, to mean fo much 
 as confidence towards God, and that he is gracious 
 unto us, and not merely fuch knowledge of liiilories 
 as the devils alfo have. 
 
 Further it is taught, that good works fiiall and mull 
 be done; not that any one fhould trull in them to 
 merit grace thereby, but for God’s fake, and to the 
 praile of God ; yet faith doth always alone lay hold 
 of grace and forgivenefs of fin. And fince through 
 faith the holy Spirit is given, thus alfo the heart is 
 made fit to do good works. For before that, as long 
 as it is without the holy Spirit, it is too weak; and 
 befides, it is in the power of the devil, who impels 
 the poor human nature to many fins ; as we fee in the 
 philofophers, who undertook to live honeftly and uiv* 
 blameably, yet have not accomplilhed it, but have 
 fallen into many great and open fins. Thus it goes 
 with that man who is without the true faith, and 
 without the holy Spirit, and governs himfelf by his 
 own human powers alone. 
 
 Wherefore the do&rine of faith is not to be re¬ 
 proached, as if it forbad good works; but rather to 
 be commended, for that it teaches to do good works, 
 
 and 
 
[ i3 ] 
 
 and offers help, whereby one may attain to good works. 
 For without faith and without Chriit human nature 
 and ability is far too weak to do good works, as 
 to call upon God, to fliow patience in fufferings, to 
 love one’s neighbor, diligently to difeharge offices en- 
 trufted to us, to be obedient, to avoid evil lulls. Such 
 noble and truly good works cannot be done without 
 the help of Chrilt, as he himfelf fpeaks, John, xv. 
 without me ye can do nothing. 
 
 ARTICLE XXI. 
 
 CONCERNING the worfhip of Saints, our people 
 teach thus : That we ought to remember the faints, in or¬ 
 der to ftrengthen our faith, when we fee how grace was 
 fhown unto them, and how they were helped through 
 faith; that fo we may take example from their good 
 works, each according to his calling; for inilance, as 
 his Imperial Majefty may bleffediy and pioufly follow 
 the example of David, and carry on war againll the 
 Turks; for both are in a royal office, which requires, 
 that they prote£l and fuccor their fubjedls. But it 
 cannot be proved by Scripture, that a man fhall call 
 upon the Saints or feek help from them; for there is 
 but one only Reconciler and Mediator appointed be¬ 
 tween God and men, Jefus Chrijl , i Tun. ii. who is 
 the only Savior, the only High Prieft, Mercy Seat, 
 and Interceffor with God, Rom. viii. And he alone 
 hath promifed, that he will hear our prayers. This 
 is alfo the higheft divine worfhip, according to the 
 Scripture, that a man from the heart feek to and call 
 upon this fame Jefus Chrill, in ail need and concerns, 
 i John, ii. If any man Jin , we have an advocate with the 
 Father , Jefus Chrij} the righteous . 
 
 This is nearly die fum of the do&rine which hath 
 been preached and taught in our churches for right 
 
 I Chrifljau 
 
[ >4 ] 
 
 Chriflian inilru£lion and comfort of thb confidences, 
 and alfo for the reformation and furtherance of the 
 faithful; for we would not willingly bring our own 
 foul and confcience into the higheft and greatefl dan- 
 ger by an abufe of the divine name and word, or 
 tranfmit down to our children and pofterity any other 
 dodrine, than what is agreeable to the pure word of 
 God and Chriflian truth.
