the most part of Godfathers are appointed they especially that are Rich at the time of Baptism take hold of the Rope and as the Suffragan sings before as is wont to be done in Baptizing of Children they all make the Responses and after name the Bell which as Christians use to be is then dressed in new Garments And after they have a sumptuous Feast and the Suffragan is rewarded liberally This is sure something more than a Metaphorical Baptism I shall only add one more strange Doctrine of the Church of Rome touching Baptism and that is That a Child may be Baptized in its Mothers Womb by a Pipe This I find Asserted in a Treatise Intituled Compendium Dianae The Words pag. 201 are these Pueri si moriantur in utero matris nihil obstat quo minus possint Baptizari si Actio Ministri possit ad ipsum puerumetiam in utero matris existentem pervenire ut si fistula possit pertingere ad ipsum Infantis Corpusculum vel propter Matris Cicatricem aspersio aquae possit ad illum pertingere hoc etiam si acceleretur matris mors dummodo sit certo moritura tunc enim etiam ipsa mater tenetur permittere ut proles Baptizetur Res 12. In English thus If Children dye in their Mothers Womb nothing hinders but that they may nevertheless be Baptized if the action of the Minister may extend to the Child it self although remaining in its Mothers Belly as if a Pipe may reach the Infants Body or by or through the Cicatrix of the Mother I must leave the Reader here to guess at his meaning the sprinkling of the Water may reach thereunto And this although thereby the Death of the Mother be hastned provided she must certainly dye for then even the Mother her self is bound to permit that her Child be Baptized But I suppose the Reader as well as my self is nauseated with such fulsome Poposh Divinity Le ts therefore hasten to another Article The eight and twentieth Article of the Church of England Of the Lords Supper THE Supper of the Lord is not only a sign of the Love that Christians ought to have amongst themselves one to another but rather it is a Sacrament of our Redemption by Christs Death Insomuch that to such as rightly worthily and with Faith receive the same the Bread which we break is a partaking of the Body of Christ aud likewise the Cup of Blessing is a partaking of the Blood of Christ Transubstantiation or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine in the Supper of the Lord cannot be proved by Holy Writ but it is repugnant to the plain Words of Scripture overthroweth the Nature of a Sacrament and hath given occasion to many Superstitions The Body of Christ is given taken and eaten in the Supper of the Lord only after an Heavenly and Spiritual manner And the mean whereby the Body of Christ is received and eaten in the Supper is Faith The Sacrament of the Lords Supper was not by Christs ordinance reserved carried about lifted up and worshipped The Presbyterians That Doctrine which maintains a Change of the substance of the Bread and Wine into the substance of Christs Body and Blood commonly called Transubstantiation by Consecration of a Priest or by any other way is repugnant not to Scripture alone but even to common Sense and Reason overthroweth the Nature of the Sacrament and hath been and is the cause of manifold Superstitions yea of gross Idolatries In this Sacrament Christ is not offered up to his Father nor any real Sacrifice made at all for Remission of Sins of the quick or dead but only a Commemoration of that one offering up of himself by himself upon the Cross once for all And a Spiritual Oblation of all possible Praise unto God for the same So that the Popish Sacrifice of the Mass as they call it is most abominably injurious to Christs one only Sacrifice the alone propitiation for all the Sins of the Elect. The Papists If any one shall deny That in the Sacrament of the most Holy Eucharist is contained truly really and substantially the Body and Blood together of our Lord and so whole Christ but shall say That he is in it only as in a Sign or Figure or by his Vertue or shall say that the substance of Bread and Wine remains or shall deny that wonderful and singular Conversion of the whole substance of the Bread into the Body and of the whole substance of the Wine into the Blood the species only of Bread and Wine remaining which Conversion the Catholick Church most aptly calls Transubstantiation Let him be Anathema If any one shall say That Christ exhibited in the Eucharist is eaten only Spiritually Let him be Accursed The nine and twentieth Article of the Church of England Of the Wicked which eat not the Body of Christ in the use of the Lords Supper THE Wicked and such as be void of a lively Faith although they do carnally and visibly press with the Teeth as S. Augustin saith the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ yet in no wise are they partakers of Christ but rather to their Condemnation do eat and drink the Sign and Sacrament of so great a thing The Presbyterians Although ignorant and wicked Men receive the outward Elements in this Sacrament yet they receive not the thing signified thereby but by their unworthy coming thereunto are guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord to their own Damnation The Papists All Communicants do eat the Very and Natural Body of Christ Jesus If an Infidel receive the Sacramental Species he eats Christs Body under the Sacrament Thom.
