After that in his deathe and resurrection he had conquered sinne, death, and the Deuil, and had been conuersaunt 40. dayes in the earth, being sene of the Apostles, and more then fiue hundred brethren at ones, in the same body in which he wrought the worke of our saluation, he ascended into heauen with eternal triumph for the victorie ouer death, sinne, & hell, leuing the passage open, by whiche all true beleuers may and shall enter into his kingdome, where he now sitteth at his fathers right hande, that is to saye, in power and glorie equall, in maiestie coeternall.

From thence he shall come to iudge the quicke and the dead. He shall appeare againe in great glorie, to receiue his elect vnto him self, and to put his enemies vnder his feete, chaunging al liuing men in a momēt, and raysing vp al that be dead, that all may bee brough to his iudgement. In this shall he geue eche mā according to his deades. They which haue followed him in regeneration, whiche haue their sinnes washed away in his bloud, and are clothed with his righteousnes, shall receiue the euerlasting kingdome, and reigne with him for euer. And they whiche after the rase of the corrupt generation in Adā haue followed flesh and bloude, shall receiue euerlasting damnation with the Deuill and his aungels.

I beleue in the holy ghost.

This point establishes that Warne, unlike some Marian protestants, believed in the Trinity. Again, Foxe would have been happy to record Warne's orthodoxy on this issue.

I do beleue that the holy ghost is God, the third persone in Trinitie, in vnitie of the Godhead equall with the father and the sonne: geuen through Christ to enhabite our spirites, by whiche we are made to feale & vnderstand þ^e great power, vertue, & louing kīdnes of Christ our Lord. For he illumineth, quickneth, & certifieth our spirite, that by him we are sealed vp vnto the day of redēption, by whom we are regenerate, and made newe creatures, so that by him and through him we doo receiue all the aboūdāt goodnes promised vs in Iesu Christ.

The holy catholike churche.

Which is an holy nomber of Adās posteritie elected, gathered, washed, & purified by the bloud of the lambe from the beginning of the world, & is dispersed through the same, by the tyranny of God & Magog, that is to saye: the Turke and his tyranny, and Antichrist, otherwyse named the byshop of Rome and his aungels, as this day also doth teache.

The communion of sainctes.

Which moste holy congregation (being as Paul teacheth, builded vpon the foundation of thapostles & prophetes, Christ being the head corner stone) though it be by the tyranny of Sathan & his ministers persecuted, some of it by emprisonment, some by death, & some by other afflictiōs & painful tormēts: yet doth it remain in one perfect vnitie both in faith & fellowship, which vnite is knit in an vnspeakable knot, as wel of thē which are departed frō this mortall

life, as of them which now be liuing & hereafter shalbe in the same, & so shal continue vntil they al do meete in the kingdome, where the head Iesus Christ, with al these his holy members (of which nūber through Christ I assuredly beleue that I am one) shalbe fully cōplete, knit, & vnited together for euermore.

The forgeuenes of sinnes.

I do beleue that my sinnes and al their sinnes which do rightly beleue the holy scripture, are forgeuen only through þ^e Iesus Christ, of whō only I do professe þ^t I haue my whole & ful saluatiō & redēption, which as S. Paul saith, commeth not through our workes & deseruinges, but frely by grace, lest any mā shuld boast him self. Through the bloud of his crosse al thinges in heauen & earth are recōciled, and set at peace with the father: without him no heauenly life is geuen, nor sinne forgeuen.

The resurrection of the body.

I dooe beleue that by the same my Sauiour Christ, I & al men shall rise again frō death: for he, as Paul saith is risen again frō the dead & is become the first fruites of thē which slepe. for by a mā came death, & a mā cometh þ^e resurrection frō death. This mā is Christ, through the power of whose resurrectiō I beleue þ^t we al shal rise again in these our bodies. The elect clothed w^t immortalitie to liue w^t Christ for euer: the reprobate also shal rise immortal to liue w^t þ^e deuil & his angels in death euerlasting.

And the life euerlasting.

Through the same Iesus & by none other, I am sure to haue life euerlasting. He only is the way & entraunce into the kingdom of heauen. And therfore so God loued þ^e world, that he did geue his only son Iesus Christ, to thende þ^t so many as do beleue in him, might haue euerlasting life. The whiche I am sure to possesse so sone as I am dissolued, & departed out of this tabernacle, & in the last day shall both bodye & soule possesse the same for euer, to the whiche God graunt all men to come.

I beleue þ^t the sacramēts, þ^t is to saye, of baptisme, & of the Lords supper are seales of gods most merciful promises towards mākinde. In baptisme, as by thoutward creature of water I am washed frō þ^e filthines which hāgeth on my flesh: so do I assuredly beleue, þ^t I am by christs blod washed clean frō my sins, through which I haue sure confidence of my certein saluatiō: In the partaking of the Lords supper, as I receiue the substance of bread & wyne (the nature of which is to strēgthē þ^e body): so do I by faith receiue þ^e redētiō wrought in Christs body broken on þ^e crosse, life by his death, resurrectiō by his resurrectiō, & in sūme al þ^t euer christ in his body suffered for my saluatiō, to þ^e strēgthenīg of my faith in the same. And I beleue that god hath appointed the eating and drinking of the creatures of bread & wyne in his holy supper,
