Necessarie.

[proposition 1] THey, which giue diuine worship vnto crea∣tures, are not therfore excused, bicause they saie, that in them they worship God, or the pro∣perties of God.

[proposition 2] Albeit that idolaters doo feigne that they wor∣ship the true God in his creatures; they doo not giue the honour to him, but to diuels.

[proposition 3] We must well distinguish betwéene the pre∣cepts of God, so that we may sée which be gene∣rall, or which be for a time, or commanded to some certeine persons.

[proposition 4] The scripture, when it affirmeth that GOD hardened the hart of Pharao, & that Pharao har∣dened his owne hart, speaketh not contrarie.

[proposition 5] That God hardeneth the harts of some, and yet neuerthelesse sendeth his word vnto them; is not contrarie to it selfe.

[proposition 6] Haile, tempests, diseases, and other like cala∣mities, although they be doone somtimes by na∣turall causes, yet are they punishments for sins, and be ordeined to warne and prouoke men to repentance.

[proposition 7] The corruption and destruction of good things cannot be assigned the last end of those calami∣ties; sith an end respecteth that which is good.

[proposition 8] Albeit that faith be weake, yet it ought not to be despised, sith GOD dooth attribute much therevnto.

[proposition 9] By faith not onelie are we our selues saued; but euen the things, which belong vnto vs, which likewise through our vnbeléefe doo perish.

[proposition 10] The excessiue spéeches and figures vsed in the holie scripture maketh not therein lieng dis∣courses.

[proposition 11] Albeit that in the old ceremonies manie things are oftentimes commended, as seruing vnto those times, and that ciuill gouernement; yet therein was first set foorth Christ, and the re∣demption, which should be made by him.

[proposition 12] To the end that sacraments may be honou∣rablie celebrated, is required a méeting togi∣ther, not of one or two brethren, but of mo at once.

[proposition 13] The holie and prophane histories, although they haue manie cases that be alike; yet herein they differ, that in the holie histories, things are doone by the word of GOD, whereof in the pro∣phane histories there is no expresse mention made, and yet neuerthelesse we acknowledge those things, which be there set foorth to be the great works of God.
