It is to lay hold on Christ by faith Q How doe we receive by faith in the Sacrament A. As it is the nature of faith to apply and rest upon other Promises in the justification of a sinner a Gal. 3.22 Heb. 11.13 so to receive by faith in the Sacrament is in the act of receiving to apply and rely upon the Promises that concern each Sacrament Q. What are the Promises that concerne the Sacrament of Baptisme A. He that believes and is baptized shall be saved a Mar. 16.16 as many as are baptized into Christ doe put on Christ b Gal. 3.27 and the very word of institution when we are baptized in the name of the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost c Mat. 28.19 include a Promise that all the Persons in the God head doe enter into covenant with us to wash away our sins Q.

They are plainly laid downe in the words of institution this is my body which is broken for you a 1 Cor. 11.24 this is my bloud of the new Testament which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins b Mat. 26.28 Luk. 22.20 Q. What is the meaning of that promise this is my body which is broken for you A. It is as much as if Christ should say in particular to every faithfull receiver as surely as I deliver and give this bread unto thee so I bestow this my crucified body with all the merits of my death upon thee Q. What is the meaning of the other promise this cup is the new Testament c. A. It is as much as if Christ had said in particular to every believing receiver as surely as I deliver this cup unto thee so I doe make good and assure the whole covenant of grace unto thee and seal the free pardon of thy sins unto thee by my precious bloud Q. When are we to apply these promises to our selves A. Especially in the very act and time of receiving we are to apply these promises by faith and so wee are to draw comfort from them afterwards Q. What is meant by the word Baptisme A. It signifies dipping or washing in water and is applied to signifie that dipping or washing which is used in the first Sacrament of the new Testament Q. What is the benefit of the Sacrament of Baptisme A. The benefit of the Sacrament of Baptisme is the sealing to the true beleever and the assuring to him all the benefits of Christ that concerne his regeneration or new-birth as in particular the putting on of Christ a Gal. 3.26 the washing of his soule from sins b Ephes 5.26 the pardon of his sins c Lu. 3.3 Act 22 16. fellowship with Christ in his death d Rom. 6.3 4. eternall life and salvation e 1 Pet. 3.21 Q. What doth the Sacrament of Baptisme binde the party baptized unto A. It binds him by a solemne oath or vow when he commeth to yeares of discretion to enter into a sure covenant with Almighty God and to perform the condition of the covenant of grace a Gen. 17 7 9. which is faith b Act 8.36 37 38. Act. 2.38 as also to repent him unfainedly of all his sins c Mat. 3.5 to walke in newnesse of life d Rom. 6.4 to walk in love and unity with his bretheren e 1 Cor. 12 1 Cor. 1.13 to give up himselfe to labour for saving knowledge and a good conscience f 1 Pet. 3.21 and to live altogether for the obedience worship and service of the holy and undivided Trinity g Mat. 28.19 20.

As he is to know that the vertue of baptisme is not bounded only to the time of receiving this Sacrament because it is a seale of the righteousnesse of faith a Ro. 4.11 and of Gods covenant which is everlasting b Ier. 32.40 so he is still to make use of his Baptisme both as a bond to binde him to performe all the former duties and as a sure ground to apply all the former benefits of the pardoning and washing away of his sins and to comfort himself that the Lord will be his God in the worst times c Gen. 17.7 and all sufficient for him d Gen. 17.1 in providing all necessaries for his body and soule and deliver him from all dangers and certainly save his soule e 1 Pet. 3.20 21. and raise up his body to eternall life at the last day f Col. 2.12 Q.

what growth hee hath gotten by the Sacrament in assurance of Gods favour in strength against corruptions in power to walke with God in obedience unto him and in all other graces of the Spirit and fruits of Christs death and if hee cannot finde these fruites in himselfe hee must humble himselfe for his owne sinnes and failings as the cause thereof b 1 Corin. 11.31 and though hee findes not that comfort and benefit yet if hee be truely humbled for the want of it hee may be comforted in this as a fruit of a worthy receiving c 2 Chron. 30.18 19 if hee shall finde upon examination the former benefits truely wrought in his heart hee is to give God the glory and to desire the continuance and increase of the same grace with all holy indeavours to that end d 1 Chron. 29.13 14 18. and as hee hath received Jesus Christ so hee is to walke in him e Col. 2.6 7. and to keepe the covenant that hee hath made with the Lord at the Sacrament and to increase in love and fellowship with Gods children f 1 Cor. 10.16 17. and out of the sence of the comfort and benefit of this Sacrament to resort the oftner and with more earnest desire unto it g 2 Chron. 30.21 23. Q What are the notes whereby we may discerne the Regenerate from the Reprobate A. There are these three notes First if the childe of God be inticed and drawne away from God hee grieveth for it and giveth not ready consent unto the temptation 2. If through frailty hee be over-carried to give consent yet it is not full content but doth it against his will and purpose for his purpose is not to sin 3. If he put his lusts in execution hee lyeth not in them hee will not walke after them but recovereth himselfe because â—ee is incorporated into Christ hee hath the roote of grace which shall not utterly dye in him the seede abideth in him which at last shall sprout up to Repentance and amendment of life Gallatians 3. v. 10. As many as are under the workes of the Law are under the curse Therfore we hence conclude contrary to the Doctrine of our Adversaries that if all men be condemned by the Law then is no man able to keep and performe the duties of the Law which it requireth Divers Markes and notes of an Hypocrite which we may observe out of the first book of Samuell and the 15. Chap. FIrst He is very forward in boasting of his obedience and to have a very high esteeme of himselfe by reason therof though it be nothing so as we may see in the 13. verse saith Saul there to Samuell after he was come from the slaughter of the Amalekites the very first word he utters to him I have performed the commandement of the Lord though it was nothing so as Samuell shewes there unto him for saith he to him What then meaneth this bleating of Sheep and this lowing of Oxen in my Ears For Gods commandment to him was to slay all man and woman young and old infant and suckling Oxe and Sheep Camell and Asse but these he had saved alive Secondly He makes Religion a cloake for to cover and hide his sin or at least to lessen it when it is discovered So Saul here when Samuell had begun to tell him of his sin why as if hee should say you have no cause to blame us for this for the people tooke of the best of the Sheepe and the Oxen to Sacrifice unto the Lord thy God c. Thirdly He is obstinate and obdurate in his sin and will not endure to be convinced of it though it be never so plaine and so we see here that when Samuell had showen Saul his sin in saving the Sheepe and Oxen alive the which God had commanded him for to destroy yet for all that he justifies himselfe and saith I have obeyed the voyce of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me Fourthly The Hypocrite when he is told of his sin he will extenuate and lessen it and shift it off upon others so Saul here vers 21. The people tooke of the spoyle sheepe and oxen the chief of the things which should have bin destroyed to Sacrifice unto the Lord thy God in Gâ—lgall as if hee should have said thou hast no reason to lay all the fault upon me it was the people that saved these alive Fifthly Hypocrites when they are convinced of their sins and they humble themselves for them and doe confesse and acknowledge them it is of constraint not because they are grieved for that they have offended God thereby but because they see some evill or judgement is like to befall them for the same as in the 23. and 24 verses Saul would never be brought to say I have sinned till such time as Samuell told him what would come of it saying Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord therefore he hath rejected thee from being King then he saith I have sinned for I have transgressed the Commandment of the Lord and thy words all the time before nothing could be gotten from him but this I have obeyed the voice of the Lord c. Sixthly and lastly Hypocrites when they see that their sin and hypocrisie is discovâ—red they doe not so much desire to get into Gods favour and to make their peace with God as to keepe it from the eyes of the world that it may not turne to be a reproach and a scandall upon them but that still the world may thinke well of them and may have them in high account and this was that which as may appeare in the 30. verse did most trouble Saul For Saul he had made a faire shew and had profest a great deale of love and obedience to God but now he was caught tardy and his hypocrisie discovered fearing this should turne to his shame in regard of his former great profession after a sleight confession that he makes of his sinne in generall saying I have sinned saith he honour me yet now I pray thee before the Elders of my people and before Israel whereby it appeares that this was the chiefe and maine thing that he stood upon his credit and reputation in the world FINIS
