and that for the onely sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the crosse Maist What then do both these aswell the word as the Sacraments tend to that end to leade our faith vnto the sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the crosse as to the onely foundation of our saluation Schol Yea truly for the holy Ghost teacheth by the Gospell and confirmeth by the Sacraments that all our saluation standeth in the only sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the crosse Maist How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in the new Couenant Schol Baptisme and the holy Supper Maist How art thou put in minde and confirmed in Baptisme that thou art partaker of that holy Sacrifice of Christ Schol Because Christ hath commaunded the outward washing with Water adding this promise that I shall no lesse assuredly be washed by his blood and by his spirit from the spots of my soule that is from all my sinnes then I am outwardly washed with Water wherewith the spottes of the bodie vse to be washed away Mai What is it to bee washed by the blood and Spirit of Christ Schol It is to receiue at the handes of God forgiuenesse of sinnes fréely for the blood of Christ which he hath shed for vs in his sacrifice vpon the crosse and next to be renued also by the spirit of Christ and being sanctified by him to become a member of Christ to the ende we may more and more dye vnto sinne and liue holy without blame Mai Where doth Christ promise that he will as certainly wash vs with his blood and with his spirit as we are washed with the water of Baptisme Schol In the Institution of Baptisme the wordes whereof are these Goe and teach all Nations baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost he that beléeueth and is baptized shall be saued he that belieueth not shal be condemned This promise is repeated when the Scripture calleth baptisme the washing of the New birth and the washing away of sinnes M●i Is then Baptisme the washing away of sinnes Schol. No. For the onely blood of Christ and the holie Ghost doth clense vs from all sinne M●i Why then doth the holy Ghost call Baptisme the washing of Regeneration and the washing away of sinnes Schol God doth not without great cause so speake not onely to teach vs that as the spottes of the bodie are cleansed by water is our sinnes are purged by the Blood and Spirit of Christ but much more that by his heauenly Token and pledge hee may assure vs that wee are as truly washed inwardly from our sinnes as we are washed with outward and visible water Mai Ought Infants also to be baptised Schol Yea truely for seeing they belong to the Couenant and Church of God as well as those that be at yeares of discretion And séeing vnto them is promised by the Blood of Christ forgiuenes of sinnes and the holie Ghost the worker of faith no lesse then to the other they ought also by baptisme to be i●grafted into the Church of God and to be discerned from the chuldren of Infidells as they were in the olde Testament by Circumcision in place whereof was ordained Baptisme in the newe Testament M●i How art thou put in minde and assured in the Supper of the Lorde that thou art partaker of that onely sacrifice of Christ offered vpon the Crosse and of all his benefites Schol Because Christ hath commaunded me and all the faithfull to eate of this Bread being broken and to drinke of this Cuppe being diuided amongst vs in remembrance of him and hath added this promise first that his bodie was no lesse offered and broken for me vpon the Crosse and his blood for mee shed then with mine eyes I sée the bread is broken vnto me and the cuppe reached vnto me Secondly that my soule is no lesse assuredly fed vnto euerlasting life by him with his bodie that was crucified and his blood that was shed for vs then I doe with my bodily mouth receiue bread and wine the tokens of the bodie and blood of the Lord beeing deliuered vnto me by the hands of the minister Maist What is it to eate the Bodie of Christ Crucified and to drinke his Blood that was shed Scholl It is not onely with certaine affiance of minde to lay holde of the whole Passion and death of Christ and thereby to obtaine forgiuenes of sinnes and life euerlasting but also by the Spirit of Christ which dwelleth at one time both in Christ and in vs in such sort more and more to be vnited to his holie bodie that although hée be in Heauen and we vpon Earth yet notwithstanding wee are flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone and as all the members of the bodie are gouerned and quickened by one soule so are we all by one and the same spirit M●i Where hath Christ promised that hee will as certainely giue vnto the belieuers his Bodie and his Blood in this manner to be eaten and drunke as they doe eate this Bread being broken and drinke this Cuppe Schol In the institution of the Supper the words wherof are these Our Lord Iesus Christ the same night he was betrayed tooke bread and when he had giuen thankes he brake it and said Take eate this is my body which is broken for you this do ye in remembrance of me Likewise after supper he tooke the cup saying This cup is the new Testamēt in my blood this do as often as you drinke it in remembrance of me For as often as ye eate this bread and drinke this cup ye shew the Lords death till he come This promise is repeated by Paul when he saith The cup of thanksgiuing wherewith we giue thanks Is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ The bread which we breake Is it not the Communion of the Lords body Because we being many are one bread and one body for we are all partakers of one bread Maist What then are bread and wine made the very body and blood of Christ Scholl No truely but after the nature of Sacraments the manner of spéech which the holie Ghost vseth in speaking these things the bread is called the bodie of Christ Maist Why then doth Christ call the bread his body and the cup his blood or the new Testament in his blood and Paul calleth the bread and wine the Communion of the body and blood of Christ Schol Christ not without great cause so speaketh to wit not onely to teach vs that as bread and wine sustaineth the life of the body so also his body crucified and his blood shed is indeed the meate and drinke of our soule whereby it may be nourished vnto ●ife euerlasting But much more by this visible signe and pledge to assure vs that we are no lesse truly made partakers of his body and blood by the working of the holy Ghost then we do with the mouth of the body receiue these holy signes in remembrance
