of God because it would haue his bodie to be infinite and to be at once in all places F. Why hath not Iesus Christ witnessed saying And lo I am with you alway vntill the end of the world Actes 3.21 againe for where two or three are gathered together in my name there am I in the midst of them C. So it is but these places import the presence of his diuinitie not the presence of his humanity And this I proue by the testimony of Iesus Christ himselfe who saith in the Gospell The poore ye shal haue alwaies with you but me ye shal not haue alwaies also by that which S. Peter witnesseth in the Actes saying in these wordes concerning Christ Whom the heauen must conteine vntill the time that all things be restored F. Then you conclude that Iesus Christ albeit he is among vs by his diuinitie his holy spirite in respect of his humanity can be in no more then in one that one a certaine place and namelie in heauen C. That is my meaning so ment S. Augustine saing Till heauen earth shal be destroyed the Lord shal continually remaine aboue in the heauens The Truth of the Lord also remaineth with vs for it must needs be that the body wherein he rose vp should be in one that a certaine place but his Truth is spread ouer the face of the whole earth F. What is the sum of this true faith which seeketh Iesus Christ not vpon the earth but in the heauens C. Math. 28. Math. 18.20 This is the summe I beleeue in God the father who hath created me I beleeue in Iesus Christ who hath redeemed me from sinne from Satan from hel from death I beleeue in the holie ghost who sanctifieth me F. Why say you so in particular I beleeue and say not in generall we beleeue C. Because Euery man must examine himselfe Habac. 2. Rom. 1. Gal. 3. Heb. 10. and liue by his owne faith not by the faith of other F. And how may this be done C. If we shal applie to euery of vs in particular Iesus Christ himselfe with all his blessings and rich treasures F. What are the rich treasures to be found in Iesus Christ C. There is saluation for them that are lost life for them that are dead truth for them that are lyars wisedome for them that are ignorant righteousnesse for sinners holynesse and sanctification for the vngodly and redemption for captiues them that are in bondage F. Must we not then by faith applie all those things vnto our selues seeing we are all by nature lost dead lyars ignorant sinful defiled vngodly and captiues C. Yes verely For Iesus Christ hath taken vpon him al our neede miserie to make vs partakers of al his blessings rich treasures which in verie deede are distributed vnto vs in his holy Supper F. Now let vs speake of the second part of our dutie towards God which consisteth in Repentance and first what is Repentance C. It is a disliking of that is euill and a loue of that is good F. To the end we may haue our sins in disliking hatred is it not necessary that we know them C. It is necessarie F. How come we to haue knowledge of the euill that dwelleth in vs C. Iohan 3. First we know by our original birth For that which is borne of the flesh is flesh Secondly because we transgresse the law of God the rule of al perfection and righteousnes And thirdly by the ordinary afflictions calamities that God sendeth vpon vs for our sinnes and iniquities F. May we not also behold in the Sacraments a mirrour of our sinnes and offences C. We may For if we were no sinners we shold not stand in need of that forgiuenes of thē which is signified in Baptisme And againe except we were dead it should be in vaine that we come to the Supper to seek life saluation in Iesus Christ F. When we know our sinnes are we there to rest and not to proceede further namely to make confession of the same C. Psal 31. 51. Luke 18. We must also confesse our sinnes after the example of Dauid and of the Publican if we will obtaine righteousnesse before God F. Why should it be necessarie for vs to know and to confesse our sinnes before God C. To the end we may obteine forgiuenes and a ful and absolute remission according as God is iust and faithfull to performe his promises F. Why doth God forgiue vs our sinnes C. Math. 5. 18. To three especial and principal ends purposes First that we should be reconciled to our enemies secondly to the end we should freelie forgiue them thirdly to the end we should absteine from sinne and liue after righteousnesse F. Is there ought in the Supper which putteth vs in mind to flie from sinne and to abhor it C. There is for euen the verie breaking of the bread in the Supper doth teach vs that our sinnes haue broken and brused the sonne of God with the sorrowes of death F. What is hereupon to be gathered C. That we ought to condemne our sinnes and to haue them in abhomination as the causes of the death of the sonne of God F. Is it sufficient to absteine from euil without further proceeding in doing of good C. No forsooth Math. 3. 7 for Euery tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewen downe and cast into the fire And therefore is the euill and foolish seruant cast into vtter darknes Math. 25. not because he had vnthriftilie spent his masters talent but because by his diligence and painefulnesse he had done no good therewithall ne had raised any commodity therby vnto his master F. Then be like it is requisite that euery one according to the talent which he hath receiued of God should glorifie him in that vocation wherein he is placed and appointed C. Surely so it is if we desire to enter with the good seruant into the ioy of his master F. To the end we may do the thing that is good ought we not to seeke the knowledge thereof C. We ought and namely by these meanes by the law of God and generally by all the parts of the holy scripture which teacheth vs plainelie what those good workes are which God requireth vs to performe F. Whether doth the Supper or any part thereof exhort vs to a godly life or no C. It doth for whereas we are vnited to Iesus Christ made flesh of his flesh and bone of his bone also whereas we are made partakers of his holynesse and righteousnesse we are taught that we should be holy as he is holy F. What else C. Whereas we meete and assemble together in his holy Church which is the communion of sancts wheras by the working of the holy ghost we call vpon one father who is most holy lastlie whereas we heare his holy and heauenly word and also haue part
