THE MATTERS Contained in this TREATISE.

• ...CHAP. I. THat the Word of God is not darke to them that have re∣ceived the Spirit of God, that they may know the things which are freely given them of God. Item, That it containeth all things necessary to Salvation, and by Consequent, that Mens Traditions are vain and unprofitable. Pag. 1.

• CHAP. IV. That our Lord Jesus Christ, hath fully and perfectly satisfied the Justice of God for our sinnes, aswell for the guilt as for the punishment; and Consequently, that it is a vain and an unprofitable thing to desire to satisfie againe unto the same by works. p. 31.
• CHAP. V. That a Man not be∣ing able to satisfie the Justice of God for his owne sinnes; cannot by Conse∣quent satisfie for the sinnes of others. p. 44.

That foure Rules shew unto us that there is a Figure in these words, This is my Body: and that the Transubstantiation of the bread into the body of Christ, is con∣trary unto the truth of God, and de∣stroyes the humane nature of Christ. Item, That in all Sacraments, the Word is, is put for signifieth or re∣presenteth. Pag. 84.
• CHAP. XI. That it is not enough (for to have eternall life) to eat Christs flesh: but we must also drink his blood. And therefore all Christians indiffe∣rently, ought to communicate under both kinds, according to the Comman∣dement of Christ and the Apostle Saint Paul. p. 112.
