Institution and Promise of Christ Acts 2. 38. Repent and be Baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of Sins and ye shall receive the Gift of the Holy Ghost How dare then any People or Society of Men slight or reject it He that despised Moses's Law died without Mercy of how much sorer Punishment suppose ye shall he be thought worthy who have trodden under foot the Institution of the Son of God and count it an indifferent or an Unholy thing doing despight to it inventing contemptible Names for it and even ridiculing the Administration of it Whether such ought to be called Christians I leave the unbyass'd Reader to judge and so proceed to the next Question p. 8. Quest Do you believe or own the Lord's Supper either as a Sign of the Love that Christians ought to have among themselves or as a Seal of the Saints Communion and Commemoration of Christ's Death for us or as Figurative of Christ's Body and Blood Spiritually receiv'd by Faith Answ The Supper of the Lord we Own and renderly Consider in a Twofold Sense 1. In the Figure 2. In the Substance 1. That our Lord Jesus Christ at his Supper with his Disciples did eat the Passover which was for the Fulfilling and Consummation of the Feasts under the Law see Luk. 22. And at this Supper he did Take and Minister Bread and the Cup to his Disciples for there was no Transubstantiation saying This do in Remembrance of me And said the Apostle As ●●st as ye shall eat this Bread and drink this Cup ye shew the Lord's Death till he come 1 Cor. 11. After this they did more clearly know his coming and Christ after the Spirit Jesus Christ in them 2 Cor. 13. 5. and 5. 16. 2. And Christ said to his Disciples I will not drink henceforth of this Fruit of the Vine until the Day I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom Matth. 26. 29. And likewise of the Bread I will not any more eat thereof until it be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God Luk. 22. 16. And he further said I appoint unto you a Kingdom as my Father hath ap●ointed to me that ye may eat and drink at ●y Table in my Kingdom c. Luk. 22. 29 30. ●n these things we believe he spoke Mysteriously and that every Member of his Spiritual Church doth daily Spiritually partake of ●is Body and Blood by Faith c. OBSERVATION The Reader may here discern how by their deceivable Words and manifold Corruptions of the Scriptures these Horrid Impostors set themselves at work to Evade and make Null the Holy Ordinance of the Lord's Supper as Instituted and Administred in Bread and Wine which they deny to be now a standing Ordinance in the Church of Christ and to be practic'd by Christians The Supper of the Lord they own but how Not as now to be continued and preached for the breaking of Bread and drinking of Wine which we are commanded to do in remembrance of our Saviour's Body broken and Blood shed for us was but a Temporary Command and was to be continued no longer than till he came again As oft as ye shall eat this Bread and drink this Cup ye shew the Lord's Death till he come 1 Cor. 11. v. 26. but say they Christ is come already in them Ergo this Ordinance is not to be continued p. 9. After this they did more clearly know his coming and Christ after the Spirit Jesus Christ in them They interpret this passage of Scripture not of Christ's Outward and Personal coming at the Resurrection which as Hymeneus and Philetus 2 Tim. 2. 18. they say is past already but of that which is inwardly performed by the Spiritual Resurrection of Christ or the Light in their Hearts And they say that the Institution of the Lord's Supper was only to continue till that inward Coming or Forming of Christ in their Hearts which they have obtained as they blindly presume therefore they throw off the outward Supper But I would ask them Was not Christ formed in the Hearts of the Apostles to whom Christ gave his Holy Supper as much as in the Hearts of any of the best Quakers now in the World Was he not come Spiritually to Paul after his Conversion And before his Command above Quoted of continuing the practice of the Lord's Supper till his coming See A Discourse of Water-Baptism by the Author of the Snake c. p. 48. As also the Answer to Will Penn's Key p. 93 94 95 96. And did not the Apostles and the Primitive Christians partake of this Ordinance even after the Holy Spirit that Christ promised to send was come which they call the Second coming of Christ That they did so appears from Acts 2. 42 46. And they continued stedfastly in the Apostles Doctrine and Fellowship and in breaking of Bread and in Prayers And they continuing daily with one aecord in the Temple and breaking Bread Acts 20. 7. And the Disciples came together to break Bread And that the Second coming of Christ so called by them is not that coming here meant is further evident in that St. Paul and the Primitive Christians did not believe the giving forth of the Spirit to be the Second coming of Christ because it is plain they Believed and Expected him to come in a Personal Glorious and Visible manner Phil. 3. 20. We look for the Saviour who shall change our Vile Bodies and make them like his own Glorious Body That being one thing which will be done at that which we call Christ's Second coming And this his Second Personal coming St. Paul and and the Christians did look for because they were told Acts 1. 11. That the same Jesus should so come in like manner visible in his Body of Flesh and Bones as ye have seen him go in Heaven and as Christ himself shewed his Disciples Matt. 24. that his coming should be Glorious and Visible and St. John in Rev. 1. 7. saith long after the Spirit and Comforter was come Behold he cometh every Eye shall see him and they that Pierced him shall Mourn 1 Thess 4. 6. For the Lord himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout with the noise of the Arch-Angel and the Trump of God c. This may suffice not only to clear these Texts of their corrupt Perversions but also to Confirm and Satisfie the Reader of the Continuance or Perpetuity of this Sacred Ordinance of the Lord's Supper in his Church till his coming again in his Person to Judge the World And as to those other Texts 1 Cor. 10. 15 16 17. Rev. 20. Prov. 9. 4 5 Jo. 6. Pag. 10. not to mention that of St. Matth. 26. v. 29. Luk. 22. 16. 23. 30. in their Ninth Pag. which they offer to the View of the World I cannot discern or imagine to what end and purpose this is done unless it be to amuse the Reader abuse the Scriptures or Confute themselves I make
