Gospel-worship OR The right manner of drawing nigh to God in general And particularly in these three great Ordinances Viz. 1 Hearing of the Word 2 Receiving the Lords Supper 3 Prayer LEVITICUS 10.3 Then Moses said unto Aaron This is it that the Lord spake saying I will be Sanctified in them that come nigh me and before all the People I will be glorified And Aaron held his peace THESE words are the speech of Moses to Aaron his Brother endeavouring to quiet and comfort his heart which was no question exceedingly troubled upon that great and sore affliction that was upon him in the strange death of his two sons Nadab Abihu the story is this After Aarons sons were consecrated to the Priestly Office they coming to attend this their Office the very first day after their consecration to offer Incense unto God they ventured to offer Incense with strange fire with other fire than God had appointed Upon that the fire of Gods wrath broke out upon them

the Truths of God that I have delivered and so far as you have been wanting in any of these know so far you have taken Gods Name in vain in this holy Ordinance you have not been worthy receivers of this Sacrament you have cause to look back to your former waies and spend much humiliation for you sin herein and not to be so greedy of it as some are they must have the Communion but I put it to your Consciences have you repented you for the prophaning of Gods Name and that 's that that we should further have spoken of that God will be sanctified that 's thus if we do not sanctifie Gods Name it will quite turn to the contrary it is the proper end of the Sacrament to seal up our salvation but if we sanctifie not Gods Name it will seal up our condemnation if it hath not been thy endeavour to sanctifie the Name of God so many times as thou hast received the Sacrament so many seals hast thou upon thee for the sealing up of thy condemnation many mens or womens condemnations are sealed with three or four hundred seals may be But yet for thy comfort while thou art alive it is possible that these Seales may be broken open as we reade in the Revelations that John saw the Book that had seven seals upon it and none could be found that was able to open it at length the lamb that was slaine he was found worthy to open the Book So I say thy condemnation is sealed up with many seales and there is no Creature that is able to Cancel these seales only the Lamb Jesus Christ yea that Christ whose blood thou hast shed and been guilty of only he is worthy and he is willing to open these seales for as it was with those that did crucife Christ yet they were sav'd by the same blood that they had shed as in Acts 2. so though thou hast been guilty of shedding the blood of Christ againe and againe by thy prophane coming to the Sacrament yet know seeing there is life in thee and the day of grace is continued it is possible that thy soul may be sav'd by that blood that thou hast crucified O how many are cut off that have thus prophan'd the name of God in this Sacrament and never came to understand this danger they are cut off and now are undone for ever why blesse God that thou art alive to hear more about this Sacrament and how Gods Name should be sanctified that thou art alive and hast time to repent thee of this great evil of prophaning the Name of God in this holy Sacrament SERMON XIII LEVITICUS 10.3 I will be Sanctified in them that come nigh me THere is one thing more about the Sanctifying the Name of God in the Sacrament which cleerly concerns us and that is To keep to the institution of the Sacrament for this is such a worship of God as depends meerly upon institution that is upon a positive Law upon the will of God there are some duties of worship which are naturall that we may know by the light of nature they are due to God but the Sacrament is a duty of worship that is only by institution and if God had not revealed it we had not been bound to it therefore in these duties of institution God stands very punctuall upon them we must be very axact neither to erse on the right hand nor the left to make any alteration in the points of institution Now therefore for the institution of this Sacrament wee find it in divers of the Evangelists in Matth. 26.26 there you shall finde that Christ and his Disciples they eate the Sacrament together and this was the way of it They were together sitting at the same Table so it is called the Table of the Lord sometimes in Scripture therefore that 's the first thing that is according to the institution that those that do communica●e must come to the Table as neer as they can as many as can sit about it and all to come as neer as they can and the reason is because that otherwise you will not be able to attain the end why God would have you come to receive the end is to remember the death of Christ now except you be able to see the sight to see what is done to have your eye as well as your ear exercised you do not fully accomplish the end that is appointed for this is a Sacrament that doth present to our eyes the death of Christ and the great mysteries of salvation and therefore it is according to the institution that every Communicant must bee where he may behold what is done he must be where he may see the breaking of the bread and the powring forth of the wine certainly it hath been a disorderly way therefore for people to sit up and down in their pews every where in the Congregation and for the Minister to goe up and downe after them so that they could see nothing nor scarce hear any thing it is much for the attaining to the end of the institution for all Communicants to look upon the breaking of the Bread and the powring forth of the Wine in the Sacrament and therefore all should come together and there as many as can sit at his Table or those that cannot neer to it and the rather because this is not only from the example of Christ that he did so though that 's somwhat but because it hath a spiritual significancy in it and that 's the reason that it should be done we find in Luke 22.26 the institution of the Sacrament now mark upon their coming and being with Christ at the Table saith Christ at the 29. and 30. verses and I appoint unto you a Kingdome as my Father hath appointed unto mee that you may eat and drink at my Table in my Kingdome and sit on Thrones judging the twelve Tribes of Israel He spake it upon that occasion of the Disciples sitting with him at the Table when they did eat bread and when they took the Cup upon that occasion Christ spoke to his Disciples and said I appoint to you a Kingdom that ye may eat and drink at my Table in my Kingdome and so sit on Thrones judging the twelve Tribes of Israel as if Christ should say you can sit with mee at my Table here and know that this sitting with me at my Table it is but as it were a praeludium a fore-signification of the Communion that you shall have with me in my Kingdome you shall have that familiar Communion with me when I come unto my Kingdome there to fit as it were with me to joyne with mee in my Kingdome judging the twelve Tribes of Israel even as you do now in that holy fellowship joyne with me in sitting at my Table this is the meaning of Christ so that the Gesture in the Sacrament is not a meer indifferent thing heretofore it hath been thought unreasonable to contend for

others taking the bread and wine all that while you should be thinking of the death of Christ and discerning the Lords body and consider what these outward elements do signifie and that they do seale the great benefit of the Covenant of grace therefore it is not according to the institution to be singing of Psalmes in the mean time while the Sacrament is receiving and so to have your thoughts about other things singing of Psalmes in its due time is a good thing but for you to do it at that time when as the death of Christ is presented before you and Christ cals you to look upon his body and to think upon what he hath done and suffered this is no seasonable time of singing and if you reade the institution you shall find that Christ after all was done the text saith they sung an hymne so that according to the institution it is after the action is done of eating and drinking then for the Church to joyne together and sing a Psalme in the praise of God and then they must mind all the same thing toge●her for that 's the thing to be done in the Sacrament that look what one doth all must mind together for when one part sings and the other are waiting for the bread and wine this is not sutable to the holy Table-action and that Communion that God requires of us though the things in themselves are both good that are doing yet when we are about this holy Ordinance being it is an Ordinance for Communion all are to be doing the same thing at the same time and so when all have done eating and drinking then for all to joyne together in singing to the praise of God Now it may be this at first seems strange to many yet certainly observe this do but keep to the institution in the Sacrament though you may think it a more mean way yet you will find a greater beauty in this Ordinance than ever you found in all your lives for the more we keep to Christs institution and mingle nothing of our owne the more glory and beauty and excellencie doth appear in the Ordinances of Jesus Christ but when any man shall mix any of his owne inventions though he may do it to a good end and think to adde to and put a greater lustre upon the Sacrament the truth is that which he thinks to be a greater lustre reverence or honor put upon it it doth rather take off the lustre and glory of the Sacrament then are the institutions of Christ glorious when there is no mixture among them thus we should sanctifie the Name of God in receiving this holy Sacrament you have had divers things propounded to you whereby you may come to know and castly to see that there hath been a great deale of dishonour done to this Sacrament and the beauty and glory of it hath been darkened and the sweet that the Saints might otherwise have received in partaking hath been exceedingly hindred There is but one thing more that I shall propound to you and that is the several meditations that we should meditate on in receiving of the Sacrament the most concerning meditations are suggested in the holy Communion that are in any thing whatsoever more concerning more efficacious more various meditations we have suggested here than in any thing and it is a great sign that men and women do not discern the Lords body if so be their meditations be barren at that time I will therefore suggest some nine or ten meditations that that Ordinance of God may hold out very plainly and familiarly to every Communicant for the busying of their thoughts all the time that action is a doing Meditation 1. As first that the way of mans salvation it was by a Mediator it is not only by Gods mercy Gods saying that he is offended by sin but he will be content to passe it by no but it is through a Mediator now this meditation is suggested thus when I see the bread and wine if I discern what that signifies it will hold forth this to me that the way of mans salvation it is not meerly from hence that God saith well I will pardon them and no more but there is required a great work of God to make an Atonement between sinners and himself this Sacrrment doth hold forth thus much unto us wherefore else have we bread and wine but to signifie that the way of our reconciliation it must be through a Mediator Med. 2. The second Meditation is this That this Mediator that stands between God and us is verily and truly man he hath taken our nature upon him the bread that puts us in mind of the body of Christ and the wine of his blood and therefore we are to meditate of the humane nature of Jesus Christ and this is a meditation that hath abundance that might spring out of it what hath the Son of God taken our nature upon him hath he body and blood and humane nature upon him Oh how hath God honoured humane nature then let me not abuse my body to lust to wickednesse seeing that Jesus Christ hath taken the body of man upon him humane nature upon him let me honour humane nature that is so neerly united to the Divine nature that 's the second Meditation Meditation 3. Here 's presented unto us what this Mediator hath done for the reconciling of us unto God that his body was broken he hath subjected himself to the breaking of his body and to the powring forth of his blood for the reconciling of us it is not meerly as before that God saith I 'le pardon them but Christ undertaking to make peace between his Father and us it cost him the breaking of his body and the powring forth of his blood this is a useful Meditation Oh what should we be willing to suffer for Jesus Christ in our bodies even to resist unto blood seeing Christ hath been content to have his precious body broken and his blood shed for us Meditation 4. Again a fourth Meditation is this That here we come to see we have occasion of meditating of that Scripture saith that we are by the blood of God saved it is the blood of God they crucified the Lord of glory that 's the Scripture phrase we should consider when we see the Wine powred out and so put in mind of blood whose blood and whose body is this It is no other but the body and blood of him that was truly God the second Person in Trinity This is the great Mystery of the Gospel and this is very needful for us to be thinking of when we see the body broken and the blood powred out What will the breaking of the body and shedding of the blood of a meere creature be sufficient to make peace between God and Man surely no● therefore you must meditate whose body this is and whose blood this is it is the body and blood of him that was God It 's true God
