An
Exposition of the Thirty Nine Articles, By the Reformers: Extracts carefully
and fully selected from the Works of Latimer, Ridley, Cranmer, Hooper, Jewel,
Philpot, Pilkington, Coverdale, Becon, Bradford, Sandys, Grindal, Whitgift,
Etc.
Article VII—Of the Old Testament.
The Old Testament is
not contrary to the New; for both in the Old and New Testament everlasting life
is offered to Mankind by Christ, who is the only Mediator between God and man,
being both God and Man. Wherefore they are not to be heard, which feign
that the old Fathers did look only for transitory promises. Although the
Law given from God by Moses, as touching Ceremonies and Rites, do not bind
Christian men, nor the civil precepts thereof ought of necessity to be received
in any commonwealth; yet notwithstanding, no Christian man whatsoever is free
from the obedience of the Commandments which are called Moral.
Nowell’s Catechism –
“That same most joyful and altogether heavenly doctrine of restoring salvation
by Christ which in old time was disclosed by the holy prophets, the servants of
God, he himself at length, the Lord of prophets, Jesus Christ the Son of God,
and also the Virgin, even the same promised seed, hath most clearly taught all
men,” &c. – Catechism.
