sacrifice for our saluation for euer The bread was delyuered to the Disciples as the sacrament of the Lordes body but the verie body it selfe shoulde be geuen vpon the crosse not to the Disciples but to God the father for the Disciples Demaund What is the Lordes Supper Aunswer It is the sacrament of my redemtion by the death of Christ Demaund What thinkest thou of the Lordes Supper Aunswer I beleeue that as my bodye is nourished with breade and wyne there broken and powred for thee that euen so my soule is nourished spiritually by Christes body broken and his bloodshed for the remission of my synnes Demaund Wherfore it is our duetie to geue thankes at the Lords supper And the Lorde gaue thankes therat Thirdlie it putteth vs in remēbraunce that as the bread which we eate is made of many graines one loafe and the grapes being many pressed together is made one wine so we being many are one bodye whereof Christe is the heade Seeing then that we are all one body we ought to helpe one another and to loue one another Demaund What is our duetie to doo that we maye come to the Lordes supper rightlie Aunswer To examine our selues whether wee be true members of Christe depending our faith wholie vpon him as our only sauiour Secondly to examine our selues whether wee bee in loue one with another and forgeue one another Thirdlie we must examine our selues what sinnes we haue committed and repent that wee maye with a cleare conscience come to the Lordes Table Demaund What is Baptisme Aunswer Baptisme is the Sacrament of our regeneration cleansing admission sanctifycation incorporation admission wherby they which do repent and professe the fayth and Religion of Christe are incorporated consigned vp to Christ and his Church Demaund Who dyd institute Baptisme Aunswer Our sauiour Christe Demaund What doth baptisme signifie Aunswer It declareth the washing away of my sinnes by Christes blood and my new byrth Demaund Can none assure them selues of saluation vnlesse they be Baptised Aunswer I saye not so Gods grace is not tyed to externe Elementes we beleeue his promise and therefore doubte not but the chyldren of the faythfull are saued although they passe awaye in their mothers wombe for they are holye by vertue of the couenaunt And are sanctifyed in their mothers wombe For example Isaac which was borne the chylde of God by vertue of the promise Whereby it followeth that the promise is the fountayne of saluation and not the sacrament Another example the theefe that dyed with Christe asked for mercie and was saued where was he baptised Demaund Is it in our wyll to be baptised or not to be baptised Aunswer We are commaunded of Christe to be baptised and therfore he that maye be baptised and wyll not hee breaketh the commaundement of God and is cursed Demaund Maye one fall from grace after he is baptised Aunswer Yea verelie for whoremongers swearers and other wicked liuers do fall from the grace and as long as they remayne in sinne they are without God and cutte of from the vine Christ and can not be saued although they be baptised vnlesse they repent Saint Peter sayth Baptisme taketh not awaye the fylth of the flesh But in that a good conscience consenting to God by the resurrectiō of Iesus Christ And S. Paule sayth circumcision is nothing and vncircumcision is nothing but the keeping of the cōmaundements of god So then Baptisme is no cause of our saluation For example Simon Magus which was baptised and yet remayned the chylde of the deuyll Demaund What deest thou promise when thou art Baptised Aunswer I promise to forsake the deuyll the worlde and the flesh and to bee Christes seruaunt all the dayes of my lyfe Demaund Dyddest thou neuer breake thys promise Aunswer Yea for if I sweare lye steale or doo any other thing contracie to the wyll of God I breake my promise made vnto God. Demaund Whose seruaunt art thou when thou hast broken thy promise the seruaunt of God Aunswer No verelie for Christe sayth he that committeth synne is the seruaunt of sinne Demaund What is the rewarde of this seruaunt for breaking his promise made in Baptisme Aunswer Dampnation for Saint Pa●● sayth the reward of sinne is death ▪ Demaund What is done of thee nowe seeing thou hast forsaken thy promise 〈…〉 to lyue styll in that state of dampnation Aunswer No but to remember my promise and returne vnto God for the remission of my sinnes and for his holy spirite to leade mee into newnesse of lyfe Demaund Doest thou thinke that God wyll receyue thee if thou repent seeing thou hast broken thy promise in Baptisme and lyued in fylthie sinne many yeares seruing the deuyll c. Aunswer Yea trulie for Christe sayth I came to call the synners to repentaunce I am a synner and if I repent and forsake sinne I beleeue I am become his seruaunt againe and all my sinnes forgeuen me ac●●rding to his promise Demaund What difference is 〈…〉 ●●crament and a sacrifi●● ▪ Aunswer A Sacrament is a signe or 〈…〉 of the promise of God that he geueth vnto vs a certaine thing So was circumcision a certaine token whereby he woulde c receyue the circumcised Baptisme is a token whereby God worketh with vs and b receyue vs vnto grace Sacrificium is a worke of ours which we geue vnto god Wherby we c honour him Demaund Howe many kindes of Sacrifices be there Aunswer Two the one is called Propitiatorium that is which obtayneth mercie and appeaseth the wrath of God. The other is called Eucharisticum that is to saye a thankesgeuing Demaund What is Sacrificium Propitiatorium Aunswer It is a worke deseruing remission of sinnes deliueraunce from euerlasting punishment and there is onelie one Sacrifice which deserueth remission of sinnes that is to saye the death and passion of Christe Demaund What is the Sacrifyce of thanksgeuing Aunswer It is a thankesgeuing vnto God the Father thorow Iesus Christe the remission of our synnes and for all other benefytes receyued of him Therefore whether we eate ●r drinke or whatsoeuer we doo let vs prayse God thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde and saye Amen FINIS 1579.
