the death and passion of the Sonne of God who commaundeth all the faithful to selebrate the Supper in remembrance of him Thirdly they contemne the price of their redemption that is to say the pretious body and blood of Iesus Christe which are giuen and distributed to all faithful Christians in the Supper according as it is said This is my body which is giuen for you this is my blood which is shed for the remission of your sinnes Finally they despise the church and the vnitie therof and willingly excommunicate them selues from the Communion whiche the faithful haue in the Supper as wel with Iesus Christe as one with an other We sée therfore how fondly these contemners of the Lords holy Supper doo fall and ar vtterly inexcusable And therfore let vs take good héed that we folowe them not if we wil not be punished with thē which for their Oxen Fermes Wines and trastique of merchandise refused to come to the mariage in the Gospel Contrarywise of thē which come vnworthily to the holy Supper of the Lord or ought not be therunto admitted Article 7. ¶ Of them vvhich sin against the first Article of the first preparation which consisteth in true faith ALl Atheists that is such as are with out God misbeléeuers ignorant of God his woord all heretiques false prophets all Magicians Idolaters and superstitious whiche are partakers of the tables of Deuils likewise all they which haue but an historicall Faith all the adherents ministers of the Roomish Antichrist and they that establish by any maner whatsoeuer his kingdome or depend there on also all they which haue not yelded them selues to the Church of God and haue not made profession of their Faith finally all they that customably swere either by the name of God or by their Faith and apply it to vain matters and causes of no value all these ought to abstain from the Lords Table for so muche as they haue not a true trust in God without the whiche we can not bée members of Iesus Christe nor consequently bee apt and méete to receiue life of him which is the onely hed of the true faithfull ¶ Of them which sin against the second Article of the second preparation which consisteth in Repētance ALl they which liue slanderously all impenitent and vnthrifts all contemners of God of his woord and of his holy assemblies all blasphemers and denyers of the name of God all despisers of correction and ecclesiastical discipline they also the haūt and frequent ordinarily euil cōpany which walke in the counsel of the wicked which stand in the way of sinners which sit in the seat of the scorneful To be short they in whome appéereth no amendment of life no regeneration and they that conimit haynous and infamous vices and such as are tobe punished by the magistrate all these after that they are knowen tobe such ought not tobe admitted to the supper and if they present them selues vnto it they ought not tobe receiued lest that that is holy be giuen to Dogs and Swine to the great dishonour of God and slander of his Church ¶ Of them which sin against the third Article of the third preparation which consisteth in giuing of thanks WIithout true faith and repentance we cannot be méet to set forth the parises of God who wil not be praysed by the mouth of the wicked therfore all Infidels Igno rants and impenitent sin also against this Article and ought not tobe receiued to the Lords Supper Also they that are mad or fooles either by nature or some other accident They also which by reason that they be vnder age as little childrē can not shew foorth the Lords death til he come are not capable of the Supper Finally they which by fragilitie vnkindnesse and contempt in time of persecution did forsake Gods cause and renounce the name of our Lord Iesus Christe ought not also tobe admitted thither vnlesse that they doo first make open confession of their fault and be reconciled to the Church of God. ¶ Of them which sin against the fourth article of the fourth preparation whiche consisteth in Looue toward our neighbours THe disobedient to Father and mother to the magistrate to al superiours the seditious conspiratours fighters murderers and such as bere malice and hatred against their neighbours they that are caried away with a desire of reuengement whoremongers adulterers incontinent bougerers drunkards and gluttons deceiuers couetous théeues and vsurers backbiters mockers false witnesses lyers conmon periured persons and in sum all they which make an art of the breach of looue toward their neighbours contained in the second table of the law of God ought not tobe receiued to the Supper For seéing that the Scripture pronounceth thus that suche sort of men haue none acquaintance of God are shut out of the kingdome of Heauen and shall not dwel in the Lords holy mountain they ought of right tobe shut out from these sacred signes wherby the faithful are ioyned to Iesus Christe and made possessors of eternall life ¶ Finis A Dialogue of the preparation to the holy Supper of our Lord IESVS CHRISTE ¶ The Father HOwe must wée be prepared to come worthely to the supper of our Lord Iesus Christe The Childe We must examin our selues according to the precept of the holy Apostle S. Paule F. Wherin consisteth the eramination of our selues C. In two points First that we behaue ourselues as it is méet towarde God who calleth vs to this holy banquet Then that we doo our dutye to our Brethren which are called to this holy Table with vs. F. What is our duty towards God C. It cōsisteth principally in three points F. Which are they C. In faith repentance giuing of thāks F. What is faith C. It is a certaine assurance that God is our father and Saueour in the name of his Sonne Iesus Christe our Lord. F. This assurance commeth it of vs C. No for the faithfull are not borne of flesh nor blood neither of the wil of man but they are borne of God. F. But what meanes dooth God vse to beget vs vnto him and to giue vs faith C. His woord confirmed in vs by the woork of the holy Ghost who cryeth in our harts Abba that is to say father F. Is not this faith confirmed and ratyfied in vs by the Lords Supper C. Yes F. How so C. First of all in that that Iesus Christe giueth himself vnto vs promising vs that his body was giuen to death for vs and that his blood was shed for the remission of our sinnes F. What more C. In that that the bread and wine whiche we take eate and drink according to Gods institution teache vs that through faith we take eate and drink the body and blood of Iesus Christe for the nourishment of our soules F. And those that are Insidels can they eate the body of Iesus Christe and drinck his blood C. No

ryot other worldly vanities which is asmuch as if we wold haue lodged God the father the sonne and the holy ghost in a moste stinking and filthy priuy We must therfore be sory for our wicked life passed vsing a true and seuere examining of our selues which may bring forth in vs a displeasantnesse and horrour of our fore passed renting and breaking by all maner of menes of the law of God to folow the wil of the Deuil of the world and of the flesh Now the breking of the bread of the Supper which is omitted in the paosure of the Papistꝭ should cause vs to acknowledge and detest our wickednesse that is to say whatsoeuer is foūd in vs contrary repugnaunt to the pure and holy law of god For in that that the bread is brokē for vs or rather in the that we breke the bread of the Supper our of Lord Iesꝰ Christe it signifieth vnto vs that indéed it is we that it is our sinnes and iniquityes which haue crucified put to death the Lord of life who is the very same Iesus Christe our lord So that we must not doo as in times passed the Infidels did which made great lamentatiōs and inuectiues against the Iewes Pontius Pilate Herod Iudas and them that had executed and put Christ to death and in the mene season flattered thē selues vaunting of their owne merits and deserts and did not narowly consider that Iudas Pontious Pilate and Herod were but executers and ministers of their impietyes and sinnes Let vs therefore consider in the breaking of the bread that our sinnes yea the sinnes of euery one of vs seuerally crucified the sonne of God brake him with the sorowes of the first and second death as namely the woords of the Supper doo shew that the body of Iesus Christ was broken for vs his blood was shed for the remission of our sinnes And our heauenly father witnesseth the same speaking of the death of his sonne for the sinnes of my people haue I smitten him Thē if it be so that our sinnes beeing way in the balaunce of the Iustice of God were found to be so weightie and of so great importaunce that his wrath could neuer haue béen appeased towards vs but by the death of his onely Sonne which maketh ful satisfaction I say by the cruel and ignominious death of the crosse How should not we hence forwarde detest abhorre our sin as that which is the cruel bloody murtherer of the onely sonne of God Beholde the Sun the Moon behold the element beholde the vale of the Temple beholde the stones Rocks which were mooued at the death of Iesus Christe which shewed foorth tokens of sorow and we which bere within our selues the cause of his death shall not we haue in horrour and detestation this cursed enemy sin that is lodged within vs Shall we suffer him to rule dwell in vs as before that it may bring home death vnto vs Not so but we must detest it as that that before time seperated vs from God our chéefest happinesse as that that caused vs to loose the Image and similitude of God according to which we were created at the beginning by god It is that that hath wholly destroyed vs that hath depriued vs of holinesse and righteousnes that hath banished vs out of paradise that hath made vs flaues to the tiranny of the deuil the hath made vs subiect to so many miseryes and diseases and tobe short bothe to the first and second death it is that which after it had set a bar deuision betwéen God and vs caused vs to sée our owne filthines purchased vnto vs shameful vilanous infamy made vs to tremble at the voice of our God which was before moste pleasant loouing vnto vs It is that wherby the wrath of God is heaped vpon men that maketh the Earth to become barrain and to bring foorth thornes and thistles that causeth women to bring foorth in sorow and that men eat their bread in the sweat and labour of their bodyes Séeing then that sin bringeth foorth and procureth vnto vs dayly so many miseries it foloweth the we ought to withdraw our selues from it if we wil not be wilful enemies of our owne happines saluation Now thē I cite héer all disordered and flaunderous persons which notwithstāding are so impudent to present them selues to the Lords holy table I aske them what it is that they promised to God and his church in baptisme They wil answer me that they promised God to renounce the Deuil and all his works But one of the chéef and principall works of the deuil is sin Why doo they not then abstain from it Why are they traytours disobedient to God and his Church Why haue they conspired with the deuil the world and the flesh against their owne saluation How dare they present them selues béefore God to aske him pardon and remission of their sinnes séeing that more and more they hepe sin vpon sin and crucifie kil again as much as in them lyeth the sonne of God or at the least make a scorne scoffe of the purging of his blood which was applyed vnto them in Baptisme Put the case that a wicked man poor and destitute of all help were fallen into a mire whēce out he could by no menes raise vp him self and that some yung Prince passing that way took the paines to draw him out of this ditch to make him clene to clad him with gorgeous and pretious apparel if this wicked man poor miserable caitif fall again into this mire beray bothe him self and his apparel béeing moreouer in great daunger of his life would not one think that this man were maruelously vnkinde and a contemner of that princely bounty and goodnesse and on the other side a wilful sworne enemy of his owne helth worthy tobe lost cast away with out any help or assistance Euen so soundeth our cause with Iesus Christe We fel all into the pudle of sin in the person of Adam we are all wicked dooers and worthy of an hundreth thousand gibbetꝭ before God we can by no meanes get out of our selues and out of the ditch of destruction wherinto we are al fallen of our owne fault Beholde the Sonne of God the king of kings the Lord of Lords which commeth to draw vs out of this pudle which commeth to wash vs with his pretious blood whiche vouchsafeth to clad vs with the proper Cloke of his righteousnes innocency If we cōe again to wallow our selnes in the puddle of sin if we plese our selues in it if we defile be durt the robe of innocēcy which he hath giuē vs in baptisme are we not manifest contemners of the inestimable looue gift of Iesus Christe are moreouer worthy to rot a thousand times in our filthynes or rather to gnash our téeh euerlastingly with the deuilꝭ in hel It is euident

because they haue no true Faith without which we can not be members of Iesus Christe nor consequently receiue life of him who is the only hed of the faithful F. What then doo the Infidels whē they receiue the Sacrament of the Supper C. They eat and drink their owne damnation in sted of receiuing the pledges and gages of their salnation F. Where must the true faithful séek Iesus Christe to inioy him and to haue the fruition of him C. In heauen For if we be risen again with Christe we must séek the things that are on hye where Christe is sitting on the right hand of God. F. Is not this the matter that the auneient Bishops vsed in the celebration of the Supper to say to the people Sursum corda that is lift vp your harts C. Yes And therfore the people answered Habemus ad Dominum We haue them to the lord Now that Iesus Christ is in Heauen and we on earth how can wée be ioyned vnite or made one with him C. By faith and by the woork of the holy Ghost whiche can wel ioyne and knit that that is otherwise seperated by distance of place F. What shall we then say of them that séek Iesus Christe in the Elements of the Supper and say that there is a Transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Iesus Christe C. They erre diuers and sundry waies F How so C. First they speake against thrée Articles of our Beleef that is that Iesus Christ is ascended vp into Heauen that he sitteth on the right hand of God and that he shall not depart from thence til he come to iudge vothe the quick and the dead F. What more C. By their transubstantiation also they abolish the signe of the Sacrament that is to say the bread and the wine and consequently they abolish the Sacrament of the Supper which cānot be without the signe F. This doctrine of Transubstantiation hath it no other absurdities C Yes for it giueth holy thingꝭ to swine and graniteth that the Insidels may eat Iesus Christe Moreouer it maketh men Idotaters and causeth them to worship the Sactament F. Say on C. It maketh also the glorious body of Iesus Christe subiect to rotting and filth Tobe short it abolisheth the true humanity of the sonne of God making him an infinit body and such an one as is in all places F. But hath not Iesus Christe said that he would be with vs vnto the ende of the world and where as two or three should bee gathered togither in his name there hee would be in the middest of them C. Yes But these places must be vnderstood of the presence of his diuinitie and not of his humanitie F. How canst thou prooue that C. By the witnasse of Iesus Christe him self whiche saith that wee shall alwayes haue the poore with vs but him we shal not haue alwaies and S. Peeter saith the Heauen must contain Iesus Christe vntil the restoring of all things F. Therfore thou wilt conclude that although Iesus Christ by his diuinitie and his holy Spirite be alwaies with vs yet notwithstanding touching his humanitie he can be but in one certain place that is in Heauen C. Yea as S. Augustine also witnesseth saying Vntil heauen be ended the Lord shal be alwaies on hie But the trueth of the Lord is also with vs For his body wherein he was raised must needs be in one certain place but his trueth is spread throughout F. What is the summe of this true faith which seeketh not Iesus Christe in Earth but in Heauen C. I beléeue in God whiche hath created me I beléeue in Iesus Christe which hath redeemed me from sin from Sathan from Hel and from death I beleeue also in the holy Ghost which hath sanctified me F. Why saiest thou perticulerly I béeleeue and not we beleeue C. Because that euery one must examin himself and liue by his owne faith and not by the faith of other men F. How must that be doon C. When we doo euery man particulerly for him self apply Iesus Christe vnto him self with all his blessings and riches F. What riches are there in Iesꝰ Christ C There is saluation for the lost life for the dead trueth for the liers wisdoine for the ignoraunt Iustice for the sinners sanctification ctification for the impure ones redemption for the captiues F. Must we therfore by faith applye all these things vnto vs séeing we are by nature lost dead lyers ignorant sinners vnclene and captiues C. Yea for Iesus Christe hath taken vpon him all our miseryes and wretche ones to giue and communicate vnto vs all his blessings and riches as also in deéd they be distributed vnto vs in his holy Supper F. Let vs now speak of the second parte of our duty towards God which consisteth in repentance and first of all what repentance is C. It is a sorowfulnes and hafred of euil and a looue of that that is good F. Tobe sory and gréeued for our wicked nesse is it not necessary to knowe it C. Yes F. How doo we know the euil the is in vs C. First of all by our beginning for that that is borne of flesh is flesh Secondly because we transgresse the law of God which is the rule of all perfection Iustice Third ly by the ordinary afflictions whiche God sendeth vs because of our sinnes F. Haue we not also the Sacraments a glasse to beholde our sinnes in C. We haue so For is we were not sinners we should haue no néed of remission of our sinnes in Baptisme And if we were not in death it were in vain for vs to come to the Supper to séek life and saluation in Iesus Christe F. When we knowe our sinnes ought we not confesse them before God C. Yes According to the example of Dauid and the Publican if we wil be iustified before God. F. Why should we confesse and acknow sedge our sinnes before God C. To obfain parden and ful remission as God is iust and faithful to doo it F. For what end and purpose dooth God pardon vs our sinnes C For thrée principall ends F. What are they C. First to this end that we should reconcile our selues to our enemyes secondly that we should forgiue them thyrdly that we should abstain from sinne and liue to righteousnes F. Is there nothing in the Supper that exhorteth vs to flée and hate ●m C. Yes for in that that wee breake the bread of the Supper it sheweth vs that our sinnes did brute and breake the Sonne of God with the sorowes of death F. What foloweth then C. That we should condemne and detest our sinnes as the Authoures of the death of the Sonne of God. F. Is it sufficient to abstaine from euill and not to doo good C. No for euery trée that bringeth not foorth good frute is cut down and cast into the fyre And therfore the naughtie Sernant was cast into
