that are baptised into Christ haue put on Christ euen to this end that so they might become sonnes yea heires of God and fellow heires with our Sauiour himselfe It teacheth vs also that we should indeuour to keepe the vnitie of the Spirit in the bond of peace hauing the same loue being of one accord and of one iudgement no man seeking his owne but euery man one anothers wealth seeing that we are one bodie in Christ and euerie one one anothers members as we are all by one sacrament of baptisme coupled vnto one head which is Christ and ioyned together too in one ●ody which is his Church It representeth vnto vs also thus much that we being baptised into Christs death shall by the power thereof die vnto sinne and that by the vertue of his rising againe we should walke in newnes of life Lastly that wee shall be raysed vp at the last day out of the dust of the earth and meete the Lord in the ayre and dwell with him for euer and euer The Lords supper sealeth vnto our consciences that Christ is that liuing bread which came downe from heauen of which whosoeuer truely eateth shall liue for euer because he doth not nourish vs to death for that is contrarie to his nature nor for a time because he liueth for euer and cannot die and such are the effects that flowe from him but vnto euerlasting life Also it setteth out vnto vs Christs death and passion with the benefits we reape therby and namely the remission and forgiuenes of our sinnes because as he neuer did any thing in vaine so much lesse died fruitlessely but that hee might purchase for vs eternal peace with God through the worke of our reconciliation with him Further it preacheth vnto vs that Iesus Christ himselfe God and man with all his spirituall and heauenly treasures is fully and wholie giuen vs by the Father that in him and through him taken hold of by faith we may bee fully nourished in the inward and outward man to the hope of euerlasting life It doth also confirme vnto vs the mystical vnion which is betwixt Christ and his Church hee dwelling in our hearts by faith and we thereby made members of his bodie of his flesh and of his bones Lastly it teacheth vs what vnitie and loue ought to be amongst vs because that thereby wee that are many are one bread and one bodie in as much as wee are all partakers of one bread To the worthy receiuing of this sacrament there is necessarilie required an earnest examination and true tryall of our selues which chiefely consisteth as I take it in effectuall stedfast faith and hartie repentance towards God and vnfained loue towards men Faith is a certaine perswasion and stedfast assurance which euery true christian man ought to haue that God the Father loueth him for Iesus Christ his Sonnes sake hee by the meanes of that faith particularly applying vnto himselfe all Gods promises specially those that concerne forgiuenes of sinnes and eternall saluation made vnto vs in the same his sonne Iesus Christ in whom all his promises are yea and amen Repentance is an earnest hatred of all manner of sinne inward outward past present or to come all proceeding from a right and reuerent feare of Gods eternall Maiestie which worketh so farre in vs that it maketh vs to forsake our selues and to striue to the mortification of our corruption to the ende wee may wholy giue ouer our selues to bee altogether gouerned by the holy Spirit of God in the seruice of his Maiestie Loue containeth in it not onely a sound affection to our brethren and friends but also the vnfained reconciliation of our selues vnto those whom wee haue offended and a readie forgiuing of others the offences they haue cōmitted against vs euen as willingly gladly freely as we would the Lord should forgiue vs for his Christs sake That faith that is outwardly wrought in vs by Gods word and confirmed by the partaking of the holy Sacraments is not an idle vaine or dead faith but stedfast vnfained and working by loue yeelding foorth the fruites of blessed obedience not according to the darknesse and corruption of our owne will lusts and affections for they euermore rebell against God Neither according to mens manners and examples because they are no sufficient warrants for our conuersation nor yet after the customes and fashions of this present euill world for we are forbidden to fashion our selues thereby but according to that good perfect and acceptable will of God set foorth and commaunded vnto vs in his law which is and must be alwaies a light vnto our feete and a lanterne vnto our paths and is indeed the onely true sufficient a●d right rule of all righteousnesse and well doing This large volume of Gods will plentifully and plainly reuealed in the Canonicall Scriptures of the old and new Testament God the Father hath in great mercie for our weaknesse sake abridged into two tables containing ten Commandements Wherein wee are specially to marke these two things First that it is the minde of the Law-giuer in commanding good things to forbid the contrarie euils and in forbidding euill things to commaund the contrarie good the Almightie therein meeting with mans corruption and the frowardnes of his heart who supposeth that if hee doe no euill though he lead an idle and vnprofitable life from goodnesse thinketh notwithstanding that hee hath performed his dutie Secondly that the Lord by his law mindeth to teach vs to bridle and subdue not onely the act of sinne as the Pharisies imagined nor the consent to the same in our hearts and affections alone as the Sorbonists and Popish schoole Diuines dreame a● this day but also the least lust and motion that may prick vs thereto or rise vp in our minde against the same We must know further that this law of God is obserued and broken inwardly and outwardly for the inward breaking or obseruing thereof because ●o man knoweth what is within man but ●he spirit of God and the spirit of man him●elfe euery man must be left vnto him●elfe and yet all are bound both by the ●ertue of Gods holy Commandement ●nd also by that excellent profession ●●ter which they are named not onely ●eeply to enter into the consideration of themselues but also to know that they walke in his presence before whose eyes all things are naked and plaine Touching the outward breaking o● obseruing thereof wee must know that the breach of it is then done when any thing forbidden by that law is committed or any thing commanded by that law is left vndone and on the other side that obedience is then yeelded when any thing commanded by that law is performed or any thing forbidden by that law is left vnaccomplished For good reason is it whatsoeuer mans witte can cunningly dispute or
