A88892	The sacramental stumbling-block removed. Or a brief discourse concerning examination by the congregational eldership, before admittance to the sacrament. Wherein all contrary scruples are silenced : the equity and necessity of that duty vindicated, both by scripture, and undenyable arguments. Set forth for, 1. The satisfaction of the weake. 2. The information of the ignorant. 3. The conviction of the obstinate. 4. The edification of the Church of God. / by W.L.	L. W.	1648 (1648)	Wing L96; Thomason E425_16; ESTC R204558	31,401	51

preposterous and unwarrantable thrusting himself upon such Divine displeasure Why shouldst thou endeavour to draw the guilt of thy bloud upon the Eldership or why shouldst thou pull ruine upon thy self And although thou beest not capable blesse God for a believing wife or if thy wife uncapable and thou admitted endeavour her instruction that she may in due time be also received in to Sacramental Communion here and both spiritually united to Jesus Christ 3. It s the want of knowledge of Jesus Christ ignorance of the Doctrine of regeneration and reformation that makes men scruple hereat for any such reason none being more ready to rush upon Divine Ordinances to their ruine then men and women most uncapable to receive them rightly Ob. 24. What are the principal points that will be enquired of by the Eldership what time men come before them A. They are very plain and easie to be understood and every man and woman may reade them in the Ordinance of Parliament wherein are set down certain rules and directions concerning Admission and suspension in point of ignorance and scandal but for that all have not that Ordinance I shall hint out the Heads briefly as followeth All admitted ought to know 1. That there is a God That there is but one True and everliving God maker of Heaven and Earth and Governour of all things That this onely true God is the God whom we worship That this God is but one yet three distinct Persons the Father Sonne and Holy Ghost all equally God 2. That God created man in his own Image in Knowledge righteousnesse and true holinesse That by one man sinne entred the world and death by sinne That thereby also all men are dead in trespasses and sinnes and are by Nature children of wrath and so liable to eternal death the wages of every sinne 3. That there is but one Mediator between God and man the man Christ Jesus who is also over all God blessed for ever neither is their salvation in any other That he was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of the Virgin Mary That he died upon the Crosse to save his People from their sinnes That he rose the third day from the Dead ascended into Heaven sitteth at the right hand of God and maketh continual Intercession for us of whose fulnesse we receive all Grace necessary to salvation 4. That Christ and his benefits are applied onely by Faith that Faith is the gift of God and that we have it not of our selves but is wrought in us by the Word and Spirit of God 5. That Faith is that Grace whereby we believe and trust in Christ for remission of sinnes and life everlasting according to the promise of the Gospel That whosoever believes not on the Sonne of God shall not see life but the wrath of God abides on him to Eternity 6. That they who truely repent of their sinnes do see them sorrow for them and turn from them to the Lord and that except men repent they shall surely perish 7. That a godly life is conscionably ordered according to the Word of God in holynesse and righteousnesse without which no man shall see the Lord. 8. That the Sacraments are Seals of the Covenant of grace in the bloud of Christ That the Sacraments of the New Testament are Baptisme and the Lords Supper That the outward Elements in the Lords Supper are Bread and Wine and do signifie the Body and Bloud of Christ crucified which the worthy receiver by Faith doth partake of in this Sacrament which Christ hath likewise ordained for a remembrance of his death That whosoever eateth and drinketh unworthily is guilty of the Body and Bloud of the Lord and therefore that every one is to examine himself lest he eat and drink judgement to himself not discerning the Lords Body 9. That the souls of the Faithfull after death do immediately live with Christ in blessednesse And that the souls of the wicked do immediately go into Hell torments That there shall be a Resurrection of the bodies both of just and unjust at the last day at which time all shall appear before the judgement seat of Christ to receive according to what they have done in the body whether it be good or evil and that the righteous shal go into Life eternal and the wicked into everlasting punishment Ob. 25.
