Touching that waightie charge of the Apostle Paul, in the I. Cor. II.28. Let euery man examine himselfe, and so let him eate of this bread and drinke of this cup. Set forth dialogue wise.

seales to strengthen and confirme this my faith in that his mercy promised and offered in his sonne namely his word and two Sacraments Baptisme and the Supper of the Lord. The seauenth degree of knowledge In the seauenth place by examination I must find my selfe to know before I presume to come vnto the Sacrament of the Lordes Supper that in a Sacrament two things are to be considered The first is a visible and outward signe the second an inuisible and inward grace signified thereby And in the sacrament of baptisme the visible and outward signe to be water sprinckled vpon the bodie of the partie baptized to the washing away of the filthines of the bodie The inuisible or inward grace signified thereby to bee the bloud of Christ sprinkled vpon the soule by faith wrought by the holy Ghost whereby the spirituall filthines of the soule is washed away and forgiuen the righteousnes of Christ imputed vnto the partie the olde man of sinne mortified and slaine the new man of righteousnes raised vp and reuiued answerable vnto the death and resurrection of Christ by which Sacrament the Lord first of all doth admit vs into his Church and family Also in the Sacrament of the Lords supper the visible and outward signes therein to bee First bread broken and eaten secondly wine distributed and drunke the inuisible and inward Grace signified thereby to be First the Body of Christ broken and crucified Secondly the bloud of Christ shed for to pacifie Gods wrath and to satisfie his iustice for my sinnes Againe that thereby is signified a full satisfaction of Gods iustice and a perfect saluation purchased without any thing wanting because not onely bread is broken signifying his body crucifyed but also wine is distributed signifying his bloud shed Thirdly that thereby is signified the violence of Christes death his soule being drawne and seperated from his bodie because there is seene breaking and diuision of bread Fourthly That thereby is signified our Vnion vniting and growing into one bodie and nature with Christ receiuing him by faith euen as surely and as certainely as the bread and wine which wee eate and drinke in the Lordes Supper are vnited and grow into one bodie nature with vs. And that therefore sÃ©eing so by faith we become the true members of Christ Bone of his bone and fleshe of his fleshe and doe growe into one bodie with him euen as Eue being formed and taking of the substance of the bodie of Adam her husband became as it were parte of him nay one fleshe with him That therefore I say it must needes follow of necessitie Christ his Members must needs liue by his spirit that wee must take life from and bee gouerned by one and the selfe same spirit of Christ as all the members of one body take life from Iohn 6. Iohn 15. and are gouerned by one and the same soule Wherupon if followeth necessarily againe the so many as haue not a godly care in their liues conuersatioÌ„s to expresse the fruits graces of the holy spirit but do stil delight slauishly to serue Satan sinne so many do in vaine flatter themselues that they are the members of Christ and that they haue receiued Christ in his holy supper his death and passion to the forgiuenesse of their sinnes Because Christ cannot bee drawne from his spirit neither receiued without his spirit but he that eateth his body and drinketh his bloud truly by faith must needs eate and drinke his spirit also and so consequently expresse the fruits of the same spirit in a regenerate life Secondly because I say who so doe eate the bodie and drinke the bloud of Christ crucified and shed vpon the crosse truely by faith to the forgiuenes of their sinnes they are members vnited vnto Christ they are grafted into Christ they dwel in Christ and Christ in them And they that are grafted into Christ must nÃ©eds take part of and liue by the spirit and life which is in Christ euen as the branches which are grafted into the wine do participate and liue of the sap and life of the vine In the fift and last place by examination of my selfe I must find my selfe to know that whereas we doe feede not of sundry kindes of bread and drinke not of sundrie cuppes but al of vs of one bread and one cup in regard of the institution and Sacrament hereby is taught and signified our vnity and communitie one with another also that we ought to be of one bodie that we ought mutually to loue one another as members of one bodie and as those which are fed and nourished by one bodie by one meate by one drinke Here in this Sacrament all are one and one is all All come to one and one is made of all For in an other respect we see of many graines of corne is made one bread of many grapes is made one wine whereby is signified further that an especiall end and drift of this Sacrament is of the multitude of the faithfull as of many members to make one bodie and to knit them togither in one mutuall relation and loue It is reported by Salust a noble humane Historiographer that they which conspired with Catiline against Rome dranke all of them aforehand mans bloud whereby they would all make as it were a Consanguinity and affinitie among themselues whereby they would all bind themselues to will one thing all to meane and doe one thing and not any one to open the conspiracie or to disagree one from another in any sort therein they iumped ioyned together euen vnto the death Now can the drinking of a mortall mans bloud so inuented by mans malice in a wicked practise of a multitude of men make one man of many men make one body one mind one will one consent one heart and bring all to an vnity And shall not the drinking of the bloud of Christ by faith nay the eating of his fleshe also found out by the endles wisedoÌ„e goodnes of God for mans redemption make all one First with Christ secondly one with another make all one body make one mind one will one consent one heart and bring all to an vnity in Christian loue mutuall affection and brotherly charitie one with another which is the suÌ„me and whole scope of all christian Philosophie and wisedome Surely light cannot agree with darkenesse nor the spirit of God with the spirit of Belial No more can diuision and discord agrÃ©e with vnitie This Sacrament is a Sacrament of vnity therefore it cannot abide neither admit a clouen heart diuided from his brother And thus as by the Sacrament of Baptisme our God doth admit vs into his house and family not as seruants but as children So likewise by this Sacrament of the Lordes Supper as a prouident Father doth hee fÃ©ede and nourish vs in the same with the liuing breade of his deare sonne vnto a true and blessed immortalitie And this is the

third reason is set downe by the Apostle himselfe in that 1. Cor. 11 and it is drawne from the indignitie or heynousnesse of offence in the vnworthy eating and drinking the Lords supper in this manner That party that eateth and drinketh the Lords supper vnworthily that is otherwise then it becommeth such a supper to be eaten and drunk peruerting the right and pure vse thereof that party is guilty of the body and bloud of the Lord euen as if he should vilely contemne the same and trample it vnder his fÃ©ete Therefore it behoueth euery one and euerie one is bound of necessitie to examine himselfe afore hand how he is fitted to eate and drink the Lords supper A fourth reason is drawne from the fearefull punishment and woe The fourth Reason which most assuredly they doe pull vpon themselues who doe eate and drinke the Lords supper vnworthily in this manner whosoeuer eateth and drinketh the Lordes supper vnworthily that partie eateth and drinketh his owne damnation as our first parents in paradise did eate their owne death by eating the forbidden fruit Therefore vpon paine of damnation euerie one is bound of necessitie to examine himselfe how hee is prepared to eate and drink the same If you would haue a fift reason it holdeth very strongly froÌ„ the lesser to the greater thus The fift Reason If in their earthly affaires and busines men doe thinke themselues bound of necessity before hand to examine and make inquirie as well into the affaires of themselues what and of what condition they be as into their owne selues how they may finde themselues able fit and mÃ©ete to accomplish the same lest they should take them in hand vnwisely in vaine or with their losse and hurt then who will not much more thinke themselues bound of necessitie to make the same examination and inquiry in spirituall affaires but especially in this so heauenly businesse the eating and drinking of the Lords Supper wherein we cannot offend without the high displeasure dishonour of our God Wherein we cannot offend without the deserued daunger of eternal condemnation and wherin if we consider the meate drinke it selfe with other common meates and drinkes there may no comparison stand betwÃ©en theÌ„ in any respect at all Iohn 6.55 My flesh is meat indeed my bloud is drink indeed saith our Sauiour Christ For other meates and drinkes are earthly corporall but this is heauenly and spirituall Other meate and drinke whether wÃ©e eate and drinke or not we shal surely die but this meate and drinke hÃ©e only doth die which doth not receiue and he doth liue for euer which doth receiue it Other meate and drinke doth asswage hunger and thirst but this meate and drinke I meane still being spiritually and by Faith truely receiued doth more and more sharpen the same brÃ©eding in vs an insatiable desire and longing after them Other meate and drinke are conuerted into the substance of the eatet and drinker but this Not the elements of bread and wine abiding still the same without corruptioÌ„ doth coÌ„uert the true religious eaters drinkers thereof into it selfe making theÌ„ of humane diuine of carnal spiritual of vngodly minded to leade a life besÃ©eming God Iohn 6.56 For he that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood saith our Sauiour hee dwelleth in mee as a member incorporated into the body and braunch into the vine And I in him namely by my spirit whereby he doth liue Other meate and drinke before they be receiued are first to bee examined tried and proued lest by any euill condition in them they hurt vs. But before we presume to participate of this meate and drinke in the Lords supper we must first examine try and proue our selues lest we dishonour them and become hurtfull to our selues through our owne fault Obiect I would to God your reasons were knowne not vnto mee alone here by priuate conference but vnto the whol world also by publike writing For I think they are of force not onely to wrest from the most vntoward and crooked spirit that is a free confession that it is so but also to force out of the hart of flint a floud of teares to bewaile euery former neglect thereof and further to driue it euer heereafter diligently and carefully to put the same in practise and neuer in any case to omit this godly wise and carefull examination of ones selfe before the receiuing of the Lords Supper But good Sir from your present speech nowe mee thinkes doe arise two doubtes more wherein I pray you satisfie mee in a word An. I pray you say on Obiect Is then the examination of others by the Minister before the receiuing of the Lords Supper forbidden or needelesse Ans It is more then plaine by the holy scriptures that examination by the Minister of those committed to his charge where nÃ©ede shall be Gen. 18. Iosh 24. Ministers fathers and housholders ought to examine their parishioners children seruants by the father of his children by the Master of his seruants is not onely not forbidden but straightly commanded and highly commended howsoeuer alas it bee too carelesly put in practise of such as one day wil tremble and quake to come to their answere for it And so much the more commended if it be done with that care and conscience that it ought namely not for auricular confession and then all is well as the Papists dreame or for custome and shew but for to proue how they knowe their dutie therein to teach them if they know it not yea and not euen then to thrust it into their mouthes when they are to receiue the Supper but in such due season as they may be sure to bee perfect in it Vnto the which examination as euery Minister father and master is bound so likewise is euery parishioner childe seruant reuerendly willingly to submit themselues therevnto before they come vnto the Lordes Table But yet notwithstanding this examination by an other cannot secure neither is any safe warrant for any man for one man may deceiue an other the examined may deceiue the examiner in most points but no man can deceiue the iudgment of his own coÌ„science Though the former examinatioÌ„ of one man by another be nÃ©edfull necessary coÌ„manded commended though one be examined by an other a thousand times yet the examination of ones self is in no wise to be omitted but carefully to bee held fast because it is most certain cannot deceiue and therfore the Apostle saith rather Let a man examine himself in an other place 2. Cor. 13. Examin your selues know ye not your own selues Ob. You haue fully satisfied me herein also But this one question more Is it not required that one do examine and inquire into those with whom he is to communicate that he do find them worthily prepared before hee can safely communicate with them An.
