* Therefore leaving the (note :)The first principle of Christian religion , which we call the catechism .(:note ) principles of the doctrine of Christ , let us go on unto perfection ; Certain principles of a catechism , which comprehend the sum of the doctrine of the gospel , were given in few words and briefly to the poor and unlearned , that is , the profession of repentance and faith in God . The articles of this doctrine were required from those who were not yet members of the Church on the days appointed for their baptism . Of those articles , two are by name recited : the resurrection of the dead , and eternal judgment . (Ed .) not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works , and of faith toward God , * Of the doctrine of baptismes , and laying on of hands , &amp ; of the resurrection from the dead , and of eternall iudgement . * And this will we doe if God permit . * * And haue tasted of the good word of God , and of the powers of the world to come , * If they shall fall away , to renew them again unto repentance ; seeing they (note :)As men that hate Christ , and as though they crucified him again , making a mockery of him to all the world , to their own destruction , as Julian the Apostate or backslider did .(:note ) crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh , and put [him ] to an open shame . * * But that which beareth thornes and briars , is reproued , and is neere vnto cursing , whose end is to be burned . * * * And we desire that euery one of you shew the same diligence , to the full assurance of hope vnto the ende , * * * Saying , Surely (note :)I will heap many benefits on you .(:note ) blessing I will bless thee , and multiplying I will multiply thee . * And so after that he had taried patiently , he enioyed the promes . * For men verely sweare by him that is greater then themselues , and an othe for confirmation is among them an ende of all strife . * Wherein God , willing more (note :)More than was needed , were it not for the wickedness of men who do not believe God , even though he swears .(:note ) abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel , confirmed [it ] by an oath : * That by two immutable things , wherein it is vnpossible that God should lye , we might haue strong consolation , which haue our refuge to lay holde vpon that hope that is set before vs , * *
