Corin. 11. Let euery man therefore examine himselfe and so let him eate of this bread drinke of this cup. The first was whether euery Christian be bound of necessitie to examine themselues before they doe receiue the Lords Supper or not The second was wherein that examination of euery ones selfe dooth consist or what the points bee which euery Christian by this examination must find in himselfe before hee can receiue ahe Lords Supper Two questions deseruing a very carefull answer because they are as great and as needfull as euer any can be in these daies The former toucheth the carelesse Atheist who is wont to presume to the Lordes holy Supper not caring what hee doeth The latter concernes the blinde ignorant sort which are wont thither to flocke it is a wonder to see not knowing what they doe By both which this great Sacrament is euery where fearfully abused and the breaches of Sion and the ruines of Ierusalem thereby become most lamentable For this cause at that time with my best endeuour I answered the questions in our priuate conference together with all such doubts and obiections as did arise from and were occasioned by that our speech Sithence I handled the same abroad by publike preaching as occasion was offered which heard I vnderstood that many were delighted in the diuine method Many much reioyced at the plaine and easie order affirming that they had red sundry godly writings of the same argument heard diuers learnedly entreating of those words of the Apostle but that the way to the performance of this duty of examination was neuer tracted so plain so readie so easie Lastly therefore not knowing what hurt the hiding vp of this simple Talent may do againe what gaine and profite the occupying of the same abroad by Sea land through Gods blessing might bring vnto his Church I thought best for that end to put pen to paper and humbly to dedicate the same to you most noble Prince especially for two causes The first and chiefest is after your most noble Father our most gratious Soueraigne King Iames whom God long preserue you are our next gladsome hope to gouerne these Realmes and Kingdomes with wholesome Lawes and chiefly with sincere loue vnto Gods true Religion whereof this little booke containes a part wherein I hope your gratious clemencie will not onely take well in worth my good will and meaning but also will put thereto the signet of your princely licence and allowance vnder which this little Talent Quod sentio quam sit exiguum may passe be traded and vsed the rather because it is the marchandise of heauens kingdome The other cause is as my grandfather Doctor Tye was Tutor to Prince Edward afterward King Edward the sixt so likewise though I neither desire nor deserue the like place yet am I glad most noble Prince to shew any token of mine vnfained hartie dutie loue vnto your Grace whereby so farre as I may be bold I might bid you hearty welcome into these your Fathers Dominions wherein in my daily praiers I humbly craue of almightie God in all happie peace to establish his excellent Maiestie and his royall Progenie euen to the worlds end Your HIGHNESSE in all humblenesse of duty to be commanded William Tye. ❧ A Dialogue touching Examination before the receiuing of the Lords Supper Lately had betweene A christian Gentlemā making obiection A Minister making answer Obiection SIr I haue had a purpose to conferre with you in a matter of waight touching the Lords holy Supper if I might finde you at leysure Answer And I good Sir in a matter so waightie would gladly heare you I pray you say on Obiect That worthy Apostle Saint Paul in his Epistle written to the Corinthians the eleuenth chapter hath these wordes Let euery man examine himselfe and so let him eate of this bread and drinke of this cuppe Touching that Examination of euerie ones selfe I would craue your resolution in two points Ans My best endeuour is ready what be those two points Obiect First I would be resolued whether euerie one bee of necessitie bound to examine themselues before they doe eate of the bread and drinke of the cup in the Lords Supper And if it be so Secondly I would know wherein that examination of ones selfe doth consist or for what euerie one must examine themselues For an infinite number through infidelitie doubting of the former doe altogether neglect this examination of themselues and many againe willing to performe it know not how to enter into the latter namely wherein or for what they shuld examin thēselues An.
