H. Zanchius his confession of Christian religion Which novve at length being 70. yeares of age, he caused to bee published in the name of himselfe & his family. Englished in sense agreeable, and in words as answerable to his ovvne latine copie, as in so graue a mans worke is requisite: for the profite of all the vnlearneder sort, of English christians, that desire to know his iudgement in matters of faith.

I. Saluation and eternall lise is laid in Christ, that from him it may bee com∣municated to be.

WE beleeue, that euen as the sinne of Adam, and death which followed the same, remained not in Adam alone: but from him, as from the head of all mankinde, it did and doth flow into all men, which by a common generation haue bin and are borne of him: so likewise that the righte∣ousnesse of Christ, and the eternall life due vn∣to him, is not holden in Christ alone, but is deriued into all those, who by the regenerati∣on of the holie spirite are made one with him, and as true members are ioyned vnto him as head of the whole church: and that to this

ende and purpose Christ came in the flesh, and that all our saluation and life consisteth in him, as in our head: that it may indeed be bestow∣ed and communicated vppon all the elect of God which are vnited vnto him.
