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.

XIX. We are not simplie departed from the church of Rome, but 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, in some respect.

For we haue not simplie and in all thinges forsakē the ehurch of Rome: but only in those things, wherein it hath fallen from the aposto∣licke church, and euen from it selfe, and from the old and sound church: nether are we gone

with any other meaning, but that if it would returne amended and reformed to the aunci∣ent state, wee would also returne vnto it, and haue communion with it, and in their owne congregations. Which that it maye one day come to passe, wee beseech the Lord Iesus with our whole heart. For what were more to be wished of euery good man: thē that where we were by our baptisme borne a new, there we might liue euen to our liues end? so it were in the Lord.

I Hier. Zanchius with my whole familie, pronounce this to be witnessed to the whole church, euen to the worlds end.
