also how excessiuely he caused the Israelites to woork without any hope of wages how he wold not suffer them by any meanes to sacrifice to the Lord nor to go foorth of the land of Egipt Which thing continued not for one yéer or two but for the space of foure hundred thirty yéeres Heer may we liuely beholde a draught of our misery We were all lost and destroyed in Adam We were holden captiues in the helly Egipt vnder the tiranny of a spirituall Pharaoh which is the Deuil This tirant was strong and mightie he suffred vs not to serue our god He made vs to labour incessantly in slauish and vnfrutefull woorks of sin to the establishment of his owne kingdome He flew not onely our men Children but he led vs all indiferently to vtter ruin and destrustion And this tiranny bad not onely cōtinued for a certain time but had béen eternall and for euer parmanent if the mercy and power of our God had not plucked vs out of it by the ministery of the true Moyses which is our Lord Iesus Christe who is the true Lamb whiche the heauenly Father hath deliuered to death to deliuer vs from it and purchase vs eternal life As it is said that God so looued the world that he hath giuē his only begotten sonne that who soeuer beléeueth in him should not perish but haue euerlasting life Now then seeing this good God hath doon in vs so great a pleasure as to frée vs from the tiranny of the Deuil of sinne of death of hel séeing the his looue was so great that he deliuered his onely Sonne to the cruel and ignominious death of the crosse for vs which were the seruants and bond slaues of Sathan his welbelooued for vs whiche were his enemies the iust and the Lamb without spot for vs which were sinners and corrupt the onely heir of Paradise for vs which were worthely heires of hel ought we not tobe rauished with admiration of this great and vnspeakable looue of God towards vs and our tungs tobe for euer displayed to publish with loud voice the praise of the benefit of our redēption It is very resonable and therfore we sée that Iesus Christe admonisheth vs of our duty in this behalf speaking of the selebration of the holy Supper Doo this in remembrance of me And S. Paule expresseth what remembrāce this is whē he aduertiseth vs that as often as we shall eat this bread drink this cup we shew the Lords death til he come Seeing then the God requireth of vs a true acknowledging of his benefits whiche we receiue at his hands boūtifulnes by the menes of our Lord Iesus Christ let vs take héed that we be not spotted with the fault of in gratitude especially if we will not incur the wrathfull displeasure of God and acknowledge him for Iudge whome we would not acknowledge for a gentle and merciful father as S. Paule also to this purpose thretneth the ingrate and forgetful when he saith whosoeuer shall eate this bread and drinck the cup of the Lord vnworthely eateth and drinketh his owne damnation And rightfully is the vengeance of God displayed against them which wickedly suppresse the glory of God in that that concerneth their owne saluation For if so be that a murderer redy to be hanged for his wicked déeds casting away reiecting his Princes gratious pardon not vouchsauing to thank him for it deserueth worthely the gallous or if a Childe deserue the rod for not giuing once I thank you to his father when he hath receiued at his hands great and singuler benefits much more we whiche for our sinful and wicked déeds deserue tobe hanged in hel if we contemne the grace of God our souerain prince and make no count of this euerlasting benefits which our heuenly father presenteth vs withall in Iesus Christe who is offered to vs in the Supper by good right reason we are worthy to perish for our vnkindenes and vnthankfulnes But héer must we diligently mark the points that folowe First this acknowledging must be made to one only God by his only sonne Iesus Christ For euen as God by his onely sonne hath created vs redéemed vs frō euerlasting death so wil he that to him alone by him alone in whome he is wel pleased we render thanks for all his benefits As we sée how S. Paule setteth this foorth vnto vs in many places and precisely in the Epistle to the Ephesians where he saith Blessed be God euen the father of our Lord Iesus Christe whiche hath blessed vs with all his spirituall blessing in Heaueuly things in Christe as he hath chosen vs in him before the foundation of the world but they which call vpon Saints and put their trust in them or in their merits they also whiche make them patrons and aduocates to God warde and like wise they whiche trust in their owne strength in their owne frée will or good woorks rob God of his glory and can not giue him true thanks for the benefit of redemption For we cannot giue to any creature the least iot that may be in the matter of our saluation but wee commit sacriledge against God the creator And therfore renouncing our selues and euery liuing creature let vs say with the Apostle vnto the King euerlasting immortall inuisible vnto God only wise be honor and glory for euer and euer Amen Secondly thanks must be giuen not with the mouth only but with the hart also For séeing that God is a spirit he riquireth a seruice of vs that is agréeable to his nature that is to say he wil be serued of vs in spirit and trueth And therfore when that praising of God for the benefit of redemption cōmeth in question we must haue our harts lift vp on hye and there must be a consent and mutuall agréement betwéen our inwarde affections and our tungs as we sée how Dauid exhorteth himself to the same when he saith My soule praise thou the Lord all the is within me praise his holy nāe My soule I say praise thou the Lord forget not all his benefits And the blessed Virgin singeth the self same in her song saying My soule magnifieth the Lord and my spirit reioyceth in God my Saueour now all hipocrits and wicked persons also they that sing praise in an vnknowen tung are héer reprooued For where there is no vnderstanding ther is no affection nor wil and consequently no Faith without which what soeuer we doo be it neuer so faire and glorious before men it is but sinne and abhomination before god Let vs take héed therfore the in this be half we wander not and go astray lest we be condemned with the Ievvish people whiche honored and serued God in vain in so muche as they came néer vnto him onely with their mouthes and honoured him with their lips but not with their harts Thirdly it must be doon at all

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

vtter darknesse not because he had wickedly spent his Maisters Talent but because he vsed it not nor imployed it F. It is therfore requisit that euery one according to the talent which he hath receiued of God doo glorify him in that vocation wherunto he is called C. Yea. If we wil enter as the good seruant into the ioy of our Maister F. To doo this goodnes must we not haue knoweledge C. Yes F. By what meanes C. By the law of God and generally by all the holy Scriptures whiche shew vnto vs what the good woorks are whiche God requireth of vs. F. Are we not exhorted to the Supper to liue wel C. Yes that we are For in that that we are made one with Iesꝰ Christe made flesh of his flesh and bones of his bones further more in that that we are partakers of his holinesse and innocency it is to this end that we should be holy as he is holy F. What more C. In that also that we méet and agrée in the holy Church which is the communion of Saints in that that by the opperation and woork of the holy Ghost we call vpon one father which is holy to be short in that that we hear his holy woord and receine his holy Sacraments it ought also to mooue vs to holynesse F. This holynesse which God requireth of vs is it perfit in this world C. No. As the examples of the Saincts shew vs And moreouer vnto the last breth of our life we shall haue alwaies need to aske of God that he would forgiue vs our sinnes through his Sonne Iesus Christe F. And this holynesse which is not perfit can it please God which is parfit C. Yea. For so much as by the operation of the holy Ghost and by faith we obey the commaundements of God by Iesus Christ whiche couereth with the Cloke of his righteousnesse all our wants and imperfections F. Let vs come to the third parte of our duty towards God. C. We haue said that it consisteth in an acknowledging F. What acknowledging C. Of all the benefits which we haue receiued and receiue daily at the hand of God and espetially of the benefit of redemption by Iesus Christe F. Is it not for this cause that the auncients called the holy Supper Eucharistia that is to say gratefulnesse good grace gining of thanks C. It is so F. Is this acknowledging necessary for all them the are partakers of the Lordꝭ table C. Yea. As Iesus Christe hath she wed vs an example and moreouer hath commaunded vs to celebrate the Supper in remembrance of him F. What are the conditions of this acknowledging C. There are foure principall F. Which are the two first C. First it ought tobe giuen to one onely God by his only Sonne Iesus Christe Se condly it ought not tobe giuen not onely by mouth but also by hart F. Dooth it folowe héereby that all they which call vpon Saints giue not thanks for their saluation to one onely God by his Sonne Iesus Christe are gilty C. Yea. And they also erre which are Hipocrits praying in an vnknowen tung honouring God onely with their lips and not with their harts F Tel me the two last conditions of the acknowledging C. That is it ought to bee doon at all times that is to say aswel in aduersitie as in prosperitie To be short it ought to be practised not onely priuately but also publiquely and in the middest of the congregation of the faithful F. Seeing that we haue spoken inough of our duty towards God let vs now speak of our duty towards our neighbour C. It consisteth in true Charitie and brotherly vnitie whiche doo necessarily folowe faith and the true seruice of God. F. What is the true forme rule of charity C. That we looue our neighbours as our selues or that we looue one an other euen as Christe looued vs. F. How did Christe looue vs C. He looued vs when wee were his enemyes and when we were wicked and abominable before God. F. Haue we not héerein an example to looue our enemies although they be wicked and naught C. Yes For in this part we must be agréeable to the image of our hed Iesus Christe F. And this looue wherewithall Christe looued vs was it fained or did it continue but for a time C. No for he looued vs not in word only but in déed He looued vs not only for a time but euen to the end vnto death euen to the sheding of his pretious blood for vs. F. And ought we not to folow him héerin C. Yes To eschew all dissembling inconstancy whē soeuer we debate of loouing our brethren and shewing our loue by déed F. Beside the example of Christe are we not exhorted to this true looue in the Super C. Yes F. By what reasons C. First in that that we doo all communicate togither at the Supper that we eat of the self same meate that we call vpon one self same Father that we haue one self same hed Iesus Christe that we are all quickened by his holy spirit it ought to stir vs vp to true looue and Brotherly charitie F. What more C. The making of the bread and wine of the Supper ought to exhort vs also vnto it F. How so C. Because that euen as the Bread is made of many cornes which are vnite to gither in one lump of Bread and as the Wine is made of many clusters of grapes which are afterwarde put togither in one licour so must the Christians whiche are many in them selues be ioyned togither by looue in one self same body whiche is the churche of God. F. This looue which we are exhorted vn to by so many reasons in the Supper can it be in them whiche bere malice and batred one against an other C. No. And therfore we must forget all iniuryes and reconcile our selues to them which haue offended vs and forgiue them with all our hart euen as wee would that God should forgiue vs. F. May we conclude by all that hath béen héertofore spoken that such as doo not their duty aswel towarde God as towarde their neighbour ought not to be receyued to the Supper C. Yea and therfore the true minister of Iesus Christe must take good héed that hée giue not that that is holy to such as are open ly knowen tobe Dogs and Swine F. The father of all mercy defend vs in such sort through his holy spirit with faith and repentance that we may publish his praises with a sincere affection and looue our neighbours as Iesus Christe hath looued vs that we come not to his holy Table to our damnation as Infidels and impenitents doo but rather to our saluation béeing assured that we inioy as truely eternall life with all riches and treasures which are in Iesus Christe as we inioy the Elements whiche he appointed vs for infallible witnesses of euerlasting life in the same his welbelooued Sonne Iesus Christe our LORD C.
