What are the duties of the rest of the Church First to reioyce and to be glad at the increase of Gods Church Secondly to giue attendance to the doctrine and to pray that the child may bee quickened Thirdly when it commeth to age to do such duties as one member oweth to another So much for Baptisme What is the Lords Supper It is the second Sacrament of the Gospell wherby is sealed vnto vs our continuance with increase in the body of Christ which is his Church Are there diuers graces offered vnto vs in Baptisme and the Lords Supper No but the same graces to diuers ends in Baptisme to the inuesting and entring of vs into Christianitie in the Lords supper to the nourishing and continuing of vs in it And therefore as vnto the Sacrament of Baptisme so vnto this of the Lords Supper the Popish fained Sacrament of confirmation is notablie iniurious What things are to be considered in this Sacrament First the time and then the things that are to bee done The time of the administration of this Sacrament seemeth not to agree with that which hath beene generally taught of the Sacraments for this was by our Sauiour Christ not ministred on the Lords day and it was also ministred at night Although our Sauiour Christ did so yet hee did not bid vs so to doe but the Apostles example and religious practise herein is to be followed which did celebrate the supper of the Lord vpon the Lords day But yet it seemeth that both the example of Christ and of his Apostles doth tie vs to the time of the night Nothing lesse for our Sauiour did minister it after supper for that it was to come in liew and stead of the Passeouer and therefore was presently after the eating of it Secondly that it might goe immediately before his passion the better to shew whereunto it should haue relation Where also is another difference our Sauiour Christs supper representing his death which followed the supper and was to come our Sacrament representing the death of Christ already suffered and past What cause had the Apostles to minister it after supper which we haue not The Apostles did it in the night because it was not safe for the Church to meet in the day for feare of persecution wherefore herein the laudable custome of the Church of administring it in the morning when our wits and capacities are best is to bee followed In which respect also there is some difference betweene this Sacrament and the Sacrament of Baptisme which may without any inconuenience be administred in the after noone Is there nothing to bee learned in that our Sauiour Christ and his Apostles administred it after supper Yes verily for thereby wee learne that wee must not come for our bellies but haue our minds lifted vp from these earthly elements to our Sauiour Christ represented by them for men after supper set not bread and wine but banquetting dishes vpon the table What vse is there of this First to reproue such profane persons as come for a draught of wine alone Secondly those that rest onely on the outward elements So much of the time now to the things to be done in the Lords Supper and how shall wee consider them First what is generally to be done of all both Minister and Communicants Secondly what is to be done of the Minister What is generally to be done There must be a careful preparation before the action great heed in the action and a ioyful thankfull close and shutting vp of it In the two former whereof there is great difference betweene our Sauiour Christ and all other Ministers who hauing no battell of the spirit with the flesh in him but being alwaies prepared vnto euery good worke had no need of them the Ministers hauing as much neede as the people How are we to prepare our selues to this Sacrament We are before wee come vnto it to examine our wisedome and knowledge in this Sacrament whether wee can giue a reason of the representation of Christ in the bread and wine and bring the resemblance and difference of the proportion of the bread and wine with the body and blood of Christ and of the eating and drinking of the elements with the partaking of the spirituall things What further examination is to bee vsed before wee come All that come to this holy Sacrament must examine themselues of their faith and repentance for their particular sins to bewaile them and to iudge themselues for them lest in comming otherwise they procure the wrath of God against them and those that belong vnto them although not in condemnation in the world to come which the faithfull notwithstanding their
