To this fourth Article they graunted also and agreed: Iohn Went addyng moreouer,* 1.1 that about seuen yeares past, he then beyng about twenty yeares of age, began to mislyke certayne thyngs vsed in the Church of England, as the ministration of the Sacrament of the aultare: like∣wyse all the ceremonies of the sayd Church, and dyd lyke∣wyse at that present tyme mislike the same as they were v∣sed, although hys godfathers and godmothers promised for hym the contrary.

The fayth which they were baptised in, was in the name of the Father, the Sonne, and the ho∣ly Ghost, beleeuing the articles of the Creede, with pro∣mise made to abre∣nounce the Deuill, the flesh, and the wo••ld of the which sayth their godfa∣th••rs and godmo∣thers were suretyes for them, and in this fayth they con∣tinue still. As for o∣ther ceremonyes & abuses of the Church, they neuer made any promise in their baptisme.
