Ministers are to be ordained they are to be chosen and called 1. Proposition None publikely may preach but such as thereunto are authorized The proofe from Gods word THis truth in the holy Scripture is euident For there we finde how ● The godly men were both called by God and commanded to preach before they would or durst so doe So was Samuel Ieremie Iohn Baptist Christ Iesus himselfe who also to preach did send the twelue Apostles and the seuentie Disciples 2 The wicked and false Prophets for preaching afore their time are blamed 3 A commandement is giuen vs to pray the Lord of the haruest that hee would send forth labourers into his harvest 4 Lastly wee doe read that God hath ordained in the Church some to be Apostles some Prophets some teachers some to be workers of miracles and Christ beeing ascended into heauen gaue some to be Apostles some Prophets some Euangelists and some Pastors and teachers And all this is acknowledged by the reformed Churches Errors Adversaries to this truth And so are wee against them Which to their power doe seeke the abolishment of publike preaching in the reformed Churches as doe first the Papists who phrase the Preachers to be vncircūcised Philistins sacrilegious ministers Hieroboams priests inordinate and vnordered Apostataes and next the Barrowists who say how the said Preachers are sent of God in his anger to deceiue the people with lies Who publish how the word is not taught by the Sermons of ministers but onely by the Reuelation of the Spirit so did Muncer the Anabaptist and so doth H. N. and his Familie of Loue Who runne afore they be sent as doe many both Anabaptists and Puritanes as Penrie Greenewood Barrow c. or which hold how they which are able to teach and instruct the people may and must so doe and that not priuately onely but publikely too though they be not ordinarily sent and authorized thereunto which was the doctrine of R.H. Who teach that Lay-men may teach to get faith and that euery particular member of the Church hath power yea and ought to examine the manner of administring the Sacraments c. and to call the people to repentance so teacheth Barrow 2. Proposition They must not be silent who by office are bound to preach The proofe from Gods word As publikely to preach before men are sent is a grieuous fault so not to preach being sent is a great sinne Hereunto beare witnesse 1. Our S. Christ whose words are these Surely I must also preach the Kingdome of God For therefore am I sent 2. Peter and Iohn who being charged to speake no more in the Name of Iesus said Wee cannot but speake that which wee haue heard and seene 3. S. Paul For hee writeth Necessitie is laid vpon mee and woe is mee if I preach not the Gospell 4. The apostles of Christ. For though they were beaten for so doing yet ceased they not to teach and preach Iesus Christ 5. All the Churches of God which be purged from superstion and errors Errors adversaries vnto this truth Then as in glasse they may see their faults Who maintaine how there ought to be no publike preaching at all as doe the Anabaptists Which depraue the office of Preaching as doe the Libertines saying that preaching is none ordinarie meanes to come vnto the knowledge of the word and especially the Familie of Loue who tearme the publike preachers in derision Scripture learned Licentious scripture learned good-thinking-wise Ceremoniall and letter Doctors Teaching masters and further say It is a great presumption that any man out of the learnednesse of the letter taketh vpon him to be a Teacher or Preacher Againe It becometh not any man to busie himselfe about preaching of the word so and more too the Familie Which take vpon them the office of publike preaching without performance of their duty either through ignorance that they cannot worldly emploiments that they may not negligence that they will not or feare of troubles that they dare not preach the word of God Yet thinke wee not which our Sabbatatians let not to publish that Euery minister necessarily and vnder paine of damnation is to preach at least once euery Sunday and Vnlesse a minister preach euery Sunday he doth not hallow the Sabboth day in the least measure of that which the Lord requireth of vs. 3. Proposition The Sacraments may not be administred in the Congregation but by a lawfull minister The proofe from Gods word In the holy Scripture wee read that the publike ministers of the word are to be the Administers of the Sacraments For both our S. Christ commanded his disciples as to preach so to Baptize and celebrate the supper of the Lord and the Apostles and other ministers in the purest times whom the godly Ministers and Preachers in these daies doe succeede not onely did preach but also Baptize and Minister the Lords Supper And hereunto doe the Churches of God subscribe In saying that none may administer the Sacraments in the Congregation afore hee be lawfully called and sent thereunto wee thinke not as some doe that the very beeing of the Sacraments dependeth vpon this point viz. whether the Baptizer or giuer of the Bread and wine be a minister or no. Neither is it the meaning of this article that priuately in houses either lawfull ministers vpon iust occasion may not or others not of the ministerie vpon any occasion in the peace of the Church may administer the Sacraments The Errors and adversaries vnto this truth Hereby wee declare our selues not to fauour the opinion that publikely Some may minister the Sacraments which are not meerely and full ministers of the word and Sacraments and so thinke both the Anabaptists among whome their king when it was after Supper tooke bread and reaching it among the Communicants did say Take eate shew forth the Lords death their Queene also reaching the Cuppe said Drinke yee and shew forth the Lords death and the Presbyterians at Geneua where the Elder a Laie man ministereth the Cup ordinarily at the Communion Some ministers and namely the Puritane Doctors may not minister the Sacraments For say the disciplinarians the office of Doctors is onely to teach true doctrine but in our Church of England the Doctor encroacheth vpon the office of the Pastor For both indifferently doth teach exhort and minister the Sacraments None though a lawfull Minister may administer the Sacraments which either is no preacher or when hee ministreth them doth not preach which be the errors of the Disciplinarians or Puritanes Publiquely and priuately too the Sacrament of Baptisme may be administred by any man yea by women if necessitie doe vrge So hold the Papist For saith Iauell in the time of
is giuen taken and eaten in the Supper onely after an heauenly and spirituall manner and the meane wherby the Body of Christ is receiued and eaten in the Supper is Faith 5 The Sacrament of the Lords Supper was not by Christs ordinance reserued carried about lifted vp or worshipped The Propositions 1. The supper of the Lord is a signe of the loue that Christians ought to haue among themselues 2. The Lords Supper is a Sacrament of our redemption by Christs death and to them which receiue the same worthily by Faith a partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ. 3. The Bread and Wine in the Lords Supper be not changed into another substance 4. The Body of Christ is giuen taken and eaten after an heauenly and spirituall not after a carnall sort 5. To reserue carrie about lift vp or worship the Sacrament of the Lords Supper is contrary to the ordinance of Christ. The Propositions 1. Proposition The Supper of the Lord is a signe of the loue that Christians ought to haue among themselues The proofe from Gods word THe Supper of the Lord is a token of the loue that Christians ought to haue among themselues For which cause it is called the Lords table the Lords Supper a communion of the body of Christ and they that partake thereof though they be manie yet are but one bread and one body This is the doctrine of all Christian Churches The errors adversaries vnto this truth So thinke not those men who either with heretike Hamant denie the vse of the Lords Supper to be necessarie or with the Rhemists raile on it and the Protestants that vse the same calling it a prophane and detestable Table the Cuppe of deuills 2. Proposition The Sacrament of the Lords Supper is Sacrament of our redemption by Christs death and to them which receiue the same worthily by Faith a partaking of the Body and blood of Christ. The proofe from Gods word The Sacrament of the Lords Supper is to all Christians a Sacrament of our redemption by Iesus Christ. For. This is my blood of the newe Testament which is shedde for many for the remission of sinnes this is my body which is giuen for you c. This cuppe is the newe Testament in my blood which is shedde for you saith our Sauiour And to such as receiue the same worthily and by Faith it is the partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ This is a truth openly both maintained testified by the neighbour Churches Errors Adversaries to this truth Diuersly hath this proposition bin oppugned For Some either denying or not acknowledging the benefite of so heauenly a Sacrament doe say how It is to be receiued onely for obedience sake to the princes commandement but is of none effect to the perfect ones An opinion of the Families It doth neither good nor hurt to the receiuers The Messalians error It doth much hurt and no good to participate the Lords Supper among Protestants say the Papists It is no signe assuring vs that all our sinnes through Christ are pardoned For onlie veniall and mortall sinnes are thereby remitted and we must alwaies doubt of the forgiuenesse of our sinnes say the same Papistes Others doe teach that It can profit such as haue no faith as Babes and Infants in which error be the Russians yea the dead bodies of men It can benefit such as receiue it not at all if on there behalfe it be administred as persons absent vpon the Seas in the warres yea and dead and present too when yet they participate not but the Priest for them These errors the Papistes defend 3. Proposition The bread and VVine in the Lords Supper be not changed into another substance The proofe of Gods word Transsubstantiation or the change of the substance of Bread and Wine in the Supper of the Lord we do vtterly deny and the reasons moouing vs thereunto are for that it is repugnant to the plaine words of the Scripture For I will not drinke hencefoorth of this fruite of the Vine saith our Sauiour Christ Which fruite had it really bin either the Blood or by way of concomitance the very Body and blood of Iesus Christ then our Lord had eaten himselfe which is not only blasphemous to be spoken but also impossible to be done and directly against the word of God where commandement is often giuen that the blood with flesh not of Beast much lesse of man must not be eaten The heauen must containe Iesus Christ vntill the time that all things be restored saith S. Peter If Christ therefore corporally according to his humanitie be in heauen then is he not in the Sacrament As often as ye shall eate this Bread not Christ his reall Body and drinke this Cuppe not the reall Blood of Christ you shewe the Lords death till he come saith S. Paul Therfore hee is not come which hee must be being vnder the formes of Bread and Wine Transubstātiatiō besides ouerthroweth the nature of the Sacrament For where there is no Element there can be no Sacrament Because Gods word comming vnto the element maketh a Sacrament Finally it hath bin the occasion of much superstition and Idolatrie For from hence proceeded the Reseruation of the Transubstantiated bread for sundrie superstitious purposes hence the adoration of the Bread euen as God himselfe and that both of Priest and people hence the carrying about in pompous procession of the wafer-God and hence the Popish feast called Corpus Christi-day The right consideration hereof hath mooued all the Churches reformed to shewe their detestation hereof both by their Sermons and wrightings The adversaries vnto this truth Abhominable therefore be the Popish errors viz. that In the Eucharist there is n●t the substance of Bread and wine but onely the meere accidents and qualities Substantially and really the Body and Blood together with the soule and diuinitie of our Lord Iesus Christ and therefore Christ is contained in the Sacrament Eucharisticall Vnder each kind and vnder euery part of each kinde seuerally whole Christ is comprised After the consecration in the wonderfull Sacrament of the Eucharist the Body and blood of our Lord Iesus Christ is and that not onely in the vse while it is taken but afore also and after in the Hosts or consecrated peices reserued or remaining after the Communion In the holy Sacrament Christ the onely begotten Sonne of God is to be adored with the very worship of Latria Marcus also that detestable heretike held that the wine of the Lords Supper was conuerted into blood 4. Proposition The Body of Christ is giuen taken and eaten after an heauenly and spirituall not after a carnall sort The proofe from Gods word The regenerate haue in them a double life one carnall the other spirituall The life carnall and temporarie they brought with them into this
