(^  Confirmation^wherein  is  conteined  a 

■  Catechifme  for  children. 

To  the  end  that  Confirmation  may  be  miniftred  to  the  more  edifying  of  fuch  as  (Lall  receiue  it  Caccordmg  to 
S.  Pauls  doftrine,  who  tf  acheth  that  all  th'ngs  (hould  be  dope  in  the  Church  to  the  edification  of  the  (arac) 
it  is  thought  good  that  none  hereafter  (liai  be  confirmed.but  (uch  as  can  fay  in  their  mother  to.o^ue  the  Articles 
of  the  fait  h,the  Lords  praycr,and  the  ten  Commaundcments,and  can  alfo  anfvyerc  to  fuch  queflions  of:  his  fhort 
Catechifme,  as  the  Bifhop  (or  fuch  ashe  Qiall  appoint)  fliall  by  his  difaeiion  appofc  them  in.  And  tbisj order  is 
moft  comicnient  to  be  ob(erucd,for  diuers  con(iderat!on'. 

Firrtjhecaufe  that  when  diildren  come  to  the  yceres  of  dircretion,and  hanelearned  what  their  Godfathersand 
Godmothe  rs  promifed  for  them  in  Baptifme,  they  may  then  themfelucs  witi;  iheir  owne  mouth,  and  with  their 
ownc  confentjopcnly  before  the  Church,ratifie  &  confirme  the  fame:and  alfo  promife  that  by  the  grace  of  God, 
they  wil  euetmore  endeuour  themfelucs  faithfully  to  obferiie  and  kecpe  fuch  things  as  they  by  their  owne  mouth 
and  confcrtion  haue  adented  vnto. 

,  Sf  cond!y,forafmuch  asconfirjnation  is  miniftred  to  them  that  be  baptized,  that  by  impoGn'on  of  handes  and 
prayer  .they  may  receiue  ftrcn;;th  &  defence  ag^inft  al  temptations  to  finne,and  the  adaults  of  the  world  and  the 
-  AeuiU,  it  is  mollmeet  to  be  mioifhed  when  children  come  to  that  age,  that  partly  by  the  frailtie  of  their  own« 
flefli.partly  by  the  ailaults  of  the  world  &  the  deHil,they  begin  to  be  in  danger  to  fall  intofundry  kindcs  of  fmnc. 
Thirdlyjor  that  it  is  agreable  with  the  vfageof  the  Chutch  in  times  part,  whereby  it  was  ordcincd  that  Con- 
firmation fhould  be  miniftred  to  them  that  wereof  perfeS  age,  that  they  being  inftruSed  in  Cfariftes  religion, 
(hoiild  openly  profcffc  their  ownc  faith, and  promife  to  be  obedient  vnto  the  will  of  God. 

And  that  no  man  (halthinke  that  any  detriment  ihali  come  CO  children  by  deferring  of  their  Confirniation, 
he  (h^ll  know  for  tructh,that  it  is  cerceine  by  Gods  word,that  children  being  baptixcd,baue  all  things  ncceflary 
Sat  their  faluation,and  be  vndoubtedly  faued^ 

A  Catechifme^that  IS  to  fay,  An  Inffrudion  to  be 

learned  of  euery  child,  before  he  be  confirmed,or  admic-

■we  vndertooke  this  great  and  wonderful  \vorke(with  all  r€ucrence,asJniheprdenceofGod,nsin:rcatingthe\vordof  God, 
whereimto  we  thinke  ourfeIuesvn(utficient^\vhichnpvv  Goj  according  to  hisdiuins  prouidcnceandmcrcic  hath  dire  fted 
te  a  moftprofperous  cnde.  And  this  we  m.ry  with  good  confcicnce  proteft,thac  we  haue  in  euery  point  &  wordc-,accerding 
to  the  meafure  of  that  knowledge  which  it  pleafed  Almighrie  God  to  giue  vs ,  faithfully  rendredthetext,  and  in  all  hard 
places  moA  fyncerely  expounded  the  fame.  For  God  is  our  witnes,that  we  haue  by  all  meanes  endeuoured  to  (et  foorth  mc 
puritie  of  the  worde  and  right  fenfe  of  the  holy  Ghoft,for  the  editying  of  the  brethren  in  f.iirh  and  charitie. 

Now.as  we  haue  chiefly  oblerued  the  fenfe, and  laboured  ahvayes  to  rellore  it  to  all  integtitie:  fo  iiaue  we  mofl  reuerenc- 
lykeptthcproprieticofthe^^9ordes,  confidering  that  the  ApolHes  who  fpake  and  urote  to  the  Gentiles  in  the  Greeke 
tongue,  rather  conltrained  them  to  the  liuely  phrafe  of  the  Ebrewe ,  then  enterprited  farre  by  mollis  ing  their  language  to 
fteale  as  the  Gentiles  did. And  for  this  &  otliercaufes  we  haue  in  many  places  relerued  the  threw  phrafes.  notwithltanding 
tliat  they  may  feeme  fbmewhat  hard  in  their  cares  thnt  are  not  well  praCtifed  and  alfb  delight  in  the  fweete  founding  phrafes 
of  the  holy  Scriptures.  Yetleart  either  thefimple  fhould  be  di(cour<iged,  or  the  malicious  haue  any  occafion  ot  iuli  c-uilla- 
tion,  feeing  fbme  tranllations  reade  after  one  forr,  anMime  after  another,  whaeas  all  may  f;  rue  to  good  purpofe  &  edifica- 
tion, we  haue  in  the  margent  noted  that  diuerfitie  offpeach  or  reading  which  may  alfo  fee  me  agreeable  to  the  minde  or  the 
holy  Ghoft,  and  proper  for  our  language  with  this  marke  i'.  Againe,  whereas  the  Ebrcsve  fpeach  fcemed  hardly  to  agree 
tvith  ours,  we  haue  noted  it  in  the  margent  after  this  fort ;,  vfing  that  which  was  more.inte!ligible.  And  albeit  that  man>  of 
the  Ebrewe  names  be  altered  fro  the  old  text,and  reftored  to  the  true  writing  and  firft  original, whereof  they  haue  their  figi 
nitication,yet  in  the  vfual  names  litle  is  changed  for  feare  of  troubling  the  (imple  readers.  iMoreouer,whereas  the  neceflhie 
ofthe  fentcnce  required  any  thing  to  be  addedt'orfiich  is  the  grace  and  proprietic  of  the  Ebrew  and  Grceke  tongues,  that 
it  cannot  but  either  bv  circumloaition,or  by  adding  the  vetbe  or  (ome  vvorae,bc  vndcrfrooi^  of  them  that  are  nor  well  pra- 
flifed  therein)  wee  haue  put  it  in  the  text  u  ith  an  other  kinde  of  letter ,  that  itmavealily  be  difcerned  from  the  common 
letter.  As  touching  the  diuifion  ofthe  verfes,  wehaue  folott-ed  the  Ebrew  examplcs,nhich  haue  fo  euen  irom  the  beginning

the  holy  Scriprures,and  what  etrors,fe(fls  and  -hcre/ies  grow  dayl"  for  lacke  ot  the  true  knowledge  thereof,  6c  I.ow  m.-jiiy  are

that  death  cannot  affaile; 
The  tidings  of  laluatlon  deare,

I  i  And  the.  raine  was  vpon  the  earth  fourtie

18  The  watei-s  alfo  waxed  ftrong ,  and  were 
increafed  exceedingly  vpon  the  earth  ,  and  the 
Arke  went  vpon  the  waters. 

19  The  waters  f  preu  iled  fo  exceedingly  vp-

So  all  the  (J  foules ,  that  came  out  of  the

6  No  we  lofeph  died  and  all  his  bretl^ten,  and 
that  whole  generation. 

7  ^  And  the  *  children  of  Ifrael  ||  brought 
foorth  fiuire  and  inaeafcd  in  abundance,  and 
were  multiplied,  and  were  exceeding  m^hcie,  fo 
that  the^  land  was  full  of  them. 

8  Then  there  rofe  vp  a  newe  King  in  Eg\^t, 
who  '  knewe  not  lofeph. 

9  And  he  (aid  vnto  his  people,  Beholde,  the

I  o  Come,  let  vs  workc  vwfcly  with  them,  left

I I  Therefore  did  they  fct  uflanafters  ouer 
them,  tokeepethem  vftderwith  burdens:  and 
they  built  the  cities  Pitfaom  and  Raamfes  for  the

12  But  the  more  they  vexed  them,  the  more 
diey  multiplied  and  grewe :  therefore « they  were 
more  grieued  againft  the  children  of  Ifrael. 

13  Wherefore  the  Egyptians  by  crueltiecau- 
fed  the  children  of  Ifrael  to  ferne. 

14  Thus  ttiey  made  them  wcaric  of  their  liucs

God,  and  did  not  as  the  King  of  Eg\'pt  comman-

1 8  Then  the  kingof  Eg^'pt  called  for  the  mid-

the  Lord  hath  fayde,  To  morowe  u  the  reft  of  the

which  ye  will  bake,  and  feahe  that  which  ye  will

24  Andthey  lay de  It  vp  till  the  morning,  as 
Mofes  bade,  and  it  ftanke  not,  neither  was  there 
any  worme  therein. 

25  Then  Mofes  fay d,  Bate  that  to  day :  for  to

not '  finde  it  in  the  fielde.

and  they  found  none. 

28  And  the  Lord  fayde  vnto  Mofes,  Howe 
long  refufe  ye  to  keepe  my  commandements,  and 
my  lawes? 

29  Behold,  how  the  Lord  hath  giuen  you  the 
Sabbath  :  therefore  hee  giueth  you  the  iixt  day 
bread  for  two  dayes  .  tary  therefoi  e  euery  man  in

2 1  The  Lorde  rewarded  me  according  to  my

our  enemies: 

J I  Becaufe  wee  had  faide  to  the  King,  that  the 
power  of  our  Lord  Ihould  be  with  them  that  fought 
him, to  dired  them  in  all  things. 

5  2  Wherefore  we  prayed  our  Lorde  againe,  ac- 
cording to  thefe  things,  who  we  found  fauourable.

54  And  I  weighed  them  the  filuer  and  the  gold,

the  Kingand  h^s counfellcrSjand hu  princes,  and  all

5  7  And  I  faide  to  them,You  are  al(b  holy  to  the 
Lord,and  the  veflels  are  holy,  &  the  golde,and  the

59  So  thePrieftes  and  Leuites  tookethe  filuer 
and  the  gold,and  the  veflels,and  caried  them  to  Ic-

5  For  all  that  is  made  in  the  worlde ,  hatli  a  be- 
ginning and  an  ende,and  the  ende  is  manifeft. 

6  So  the  times  alfo  of  the  moft  High  haue  plaine 
beginnings  in  wonders,  and  fignes,  and  ende  in  ef- 
fed  and  miracles. 

7  And  eueiy  one  that  Hiall  efcape  fafe,  and  fhall 
be  deliuered  by  his  vvorkes,and  by  the  faith  where- 
in ye  haue  beleeued,

for  I  haue  kept  mc  holy  from  the  world, 

9  Then  fhall  they  haue  pitie  of  diemfelues, 
which  now'C  haue  abufcd  my  wayes  :  and  they  that 
haue  caif  them  out  de(pitefully,flial  dwel  in  paincs. 

10  For  fuch  as  in  their  life  haue  rccciued  benc-

1 1  But  haue  abhorred  my  lawe, while  they  were

mendment ,  and  would  not  vndeiilande  but  defpi-

11  They  muft  bee  taught  it  after  death  by  paine. 

I J  And  therefore  bee  thou  no  more  carefullto

8  Then  Mardocheus  thought  vpo  all  the  works 
and  of  the  Lord,  and  made  his  prayer  vnto  him, 

9  Saying,  O  Lord,Lord,the  King  almighty  (for 
al  things  arcin  thy  power)&  if  thou  halt  appointed 
to faue  Ifrael,  thereis  no  man  yean  withfland  tliee. 

I  o  For  thou  hafl  made  heauen  and  eartl),and  all 
the  wonderous  things  vnder  the  heauen. 

II  Thou  art  Lord  of  all  things,  andthereisno 
man  that  caa  refift  thee, which  art  die  Lord. 

I  z  Thou  knovvefl  ail  things^and  diou  kno wefl. 
Lord,  that  it  was  neither  ofmalice,  nor  prefumpti- 
on,  nor  for  any  defire  of  dory,  that  I  did  tliis,and' 
not  bowe  downe  to  proud  Aman. 

I  j  For  I  would  haue  bene  content  wth  good 
will  for  the  faluation  of  ]frael,to  haue  kilt  the  folc 
of  his  feet. 

14  But  I  did  it,becaufe  I  would  not  preferre  the 
honour  ofa  man  afcoue  thcglor)'  ofGod,&  would 
not  worlhip  any  but  onely  thee,  my  Lord,  and  this 
haue  I  not  done  ofpride. 

1  $  And  therefore,  O  Lord  God  and  King,  haut 
mttcy  vpon  thy  people:  for  they  imagine  How  they 
may  bring  vs  to  nought,  yea,  they  would  dcftroy

one  that  feared  God, 

^     Her  father  and  her  mother  alfo  were  godly 

people,  and  taught  their  daughter  according  to 

the  LawofMoyfes.

a  fiiire  garden  ioyning  vnto  his  houfe,  and  to  him 
reforted  the  lewcsjbecaufe  he  was  more  honoura-

Ipeaketh  of  that  the  ifiiquitie  came  from  Babylon, 
and  ftom  the  ancient  Judges,  which  feemed  to  rule 
the  people.

to  fee  her. 

I  f  And  the  one  fayd  to  the  other,Let  vs  go  now

thou  diddeft fend  away  thy  mayds  from  thee. 

22  Then  Sufanna  /ighed,&  fyyd,I  am  in  trouble

me :  andjfldo  it  not,  I  cannot eicape  your  hands.

pot  (io  it,  then  to  finne  in  the  fight  of  the  Lord. 

24  With  that  Sufanna  cried  with  a  loud  voyce, 
and  the  two  Elders  ciied  our  againft  her. 

25  Then  ran  the  one,&  opened  the  garde  doore. 

26  ^  So  when  the  ftniants  of  the  houfe  heard

27  But  when  the  Eldeit  had  declared  their  mat-

neuer  fiich  a  report  made  of  Sufanna.

Perfia,the  Priefts,\\hich  fought  tl.e  honor  of  God, 
tooke  the  *  fire  of  the  altar  priuily,  and  hid  it  in  an  *if«<V.<.i  j.

And  albeit  that  euer)'  one,

And  Lord  the  holy  GhoU  yet  are

For  as  we  are  coaipeld  to  grant, 

by  Chnltian  veritie.' 
Each  of  the  perfons  by  him  felfe,

So  Catholike  religion, 

forbid  dethvs  alway : 
That  either  Gods  be  three,  or  that 

there  Lords  be  three  to  lay. 

Of  none  the  father  is,  ne^macJc, 

nor  create,  nor  begot: 
The  fonne  is  of  the  Father,  not

The  holy  Gholl  is  of  them  both, 

the  Father  and  the  Sonne . 
Ne  made,  ne  create,  nor  begot, 

but  doth  proceede  alone. 

So  we  one  father  hold,  not  tVee, 

one  fonne  alfo  not  three: 
One  holy  Ghoft  alone,  and  not
