signes A Sacraments Q VVhat is a sacrament A It is an outward and visible signe instituted and ordained of the Lord to confirm the promises and couenants of God made to vs in the gospel in the hearts of the faithful Gen. 17. 11 Q What doo you learne out of this definition A These three things First that it is a signe of another thing which is signified 2. That euerie sacrament must haue his institution of the Lord. 3. That it is a pledge or seale of the promise of saluation Q Why doo you say this is a signe A Because it is a thing which the Lord setteth before mens eies to signifie a thing which is not seene Q why must it be instituted of god only A He only must appoint the seale and the signe which giueth the promise but God onlie maketh the promise of saluation therefore he onelie hath authoritie to ordeine the sacrament or signe Q Why say you that it must be a pledge or seale of the promise of saluation A Because it is giuen vs of the Lord for the confirmation of our faith which is grouÌ„ded vpon the promise of saluation Q Are all these things necessarilie to bee obserued in euery sacrament A Yea. Q VVhat accouÌ„t do you make of those fiue which the papists haue added namelie the sacraments of penance absolution confirmation laieng on of hands extreme vnction and matrimonie A That account which the word of God teacheth me to make of them that they are no sacraments because these three things which are necessarily required in euerie sacrament are not to be found in any of them Q How many sacrameÌ„ts do you make theÌ„ A Two Q VVhich be they A Baptisme and the Supper of the Lord. 1. Cor. 10. Q VVhat is Baptisme A It is a ceremony instituted of Christ in Matth. 18. a visible signe of water to signifie our remission of sins and reconciliatioÌ„ which we haue with God by the blud of Iesus Christ which is shed for vs. Q what do you consider in this definitioÌ„ A These two things which are also to be considered in the Supper of the Lord I obserue for the true vse of the sacrament First what is the signe Secondly what is the thing signified Q what is the signe in baptism A Water Q What is the thing signified A Remission and pardon of sinnes by the Act. 22. Marke 14. bloud of Iesus Christ Q In euery sacrameÌ„t there must be a resemblance proportioÌ„ betwixt the signe thing signified tell vs therfore what it is in this sacrament of Baptisme A As the water dooth washe awaie the filthinesse of the bodie so our soules being Ti. 3. 6. 5. 6. Ephe. 5. 20 1. Pe. 1. 1. 2. 1. Iohn 7. sprinckled with the bloud of Iesus Christ washed and purged from the filthinesse and pollution of sinne Q Is there any difference betwixt water in baptisme and other water A Not as concerning the substance but they differ in the vse for common water serueth to wash the bodie but water in Baptisme is a Sacrament of the washing of the soule Q VVherefore are we but once baptized since we are commanded oftentimes to receiue the supper A Because as circumcision was to the Gen. 17 Iewes so baptisme is to vs an entrance and admission into the church of god and it is sufficient for vs once to be admitted into gods familie and therfore as they were but once circumcised so wee must be but once baptized yet that we may remaine and continue in this familie and church of god it is necessarie that wee be fedde oftentimes and therefore we must often receiue the Sacrament of the supper as the Iewes did also euery Exod. 12. yere celebrate the passeouer Q What is this supper of the Lorde which is the other sacrament A It is a ceremonie instituted of our sauiour Christ a little before his death in visible Mat. 25. signes of bread and wine to testifie and represent vnto vs his passion and bloudshedding whereby he suffred the torments of hel for our sinne Q What bee the signes in this Sacrament A Bread and wine Q VVhat is the thing signified A Our redemtion and deliuerance from Phil. 8. eternall death and hell by the suffering and bloudshedding of Iesus Christ vppon the crosse Q VVhat is the resembling and proportion betwixt the signe and the thing signified A That as our bodies by the hand and mouth receiuing these outward things of bread and wine are therby nourished indeed so assuredly wee apprehending by faith the Iohn 6. 35. Mat. 26. 26 Rom. 4. 23. 1. cor 30. 2. cor 5. 21 passion and bloudshedding of Iesus Christ our soules are thereby nourished and fed to eternall life hauing our sins remitted and Christs death righteousnes imputed to vs. Q What doeth the bread signifie A The body of Christ 1. cor 11. 24 Q What doth the wine signifie A The bloud of Christ 1. Cor. 11. 25 Q Why hath the Lord iustituted two signes in the supper and but one in baptisme A As our bodies are not sustained by meat only but also by drinke so the Lorde would assure vs that we are not fed to halfs as it were but Christ hee is both meat and drinke vnto vs. Q Is the bread and wine in the Sacrament the same with other commoÌ„ bread and wine A They are the same in substance and 1. Cor. 10. 16. 17. 18. 1. Cor. 11. 26. Mat. 26. 28 nature but the holie vse wherevnto they are applied make them differ from common bread and wine Q Is not the bread turned into the bodie of Christ and the wine into the bloud of Christ A No. Q But doth not our sauior Christ say this is my bodie when he gaue the bread and this is my bloud when hee gaue the wine A Yea but they are figuratiue speeches attributing the name of the thing signified vnto the thing signifieng as also in the old sacraments Circumcision was called the couenant which was but a signe of the couenant Gene. 17. Exod. 12. 1. Cor. 10. and the paschall lambe was called the passeouer and the rocke was called Christ Q VVhat is the reason why the signe is called by the name of the thing signified A Because we should lift vp our minds from these earthly and corporal things vnto the heauenly and spiritual things which are signified by them To what end doe we receiue this sacrament of the supper A For these three causes principallie Mal. 26. First for the redemtion and strengthning of our faith Secondly for a testification of our obedience 1. Cor. 11. 26. Mat. 26. and thankefulnesse vnto God for the worke of our redemption Thirdly for increase of loue and amitie 1. Cor. 10. 17. 1. Cor. 12. 13. 1. Cor. 11. 33.
