theÌ„selues to the Lords Supper but after dewe examination of themselues 6 The godly are not defiled if they receiue the holy coÌ„munion at such time as wicked men do present them selues and are admitted to the Lords table 7 The Lordes Supper must be commoÌ„ to all the godly not priuate to the minister alone 8 Gods people must not be barred from the cup in the Lordes Supper 9 What consecration is 10 The substance of bread and wine remayne in the Lords Supper after the wordes of consecration 11 The wicked do not eate Christes body in the Sacrament 12 Christes body is not euery where 13 The bread and wine in the Lordes Supper must not bee reserued for any superstitious vse 14 Howe gods children must be haue themselues at and after the receyuing of the holy Supper â§ A Treatise of the Lords Supper 1 What the Lordes Supper is The Lordes Supper is a holy action wherein according to Christes institution the Sacrament of his bodye and blood by a misticall breaking of breade and blessing of the cuppe is distributed by the minister and receyued by the godly asseÌ„blie wherein the remembrance of Christes sacrifice on the alter of the crosse is celebrated with perfourmance of most humble thankes to his Maiestie and of Christian charitie amongst our selues 2 Why two elements that is to say bread and wine are vsed in the Lordes Supper and but one element that is to say water in the Sacrament of Baptisme Christ in baptisme is propounded vnto vs as a lauer therefore only water is sufficient But in the Lords Supper because Christ as heauenly foodÃ© is giuen vnto vs and that this life of ours hath neede as well of drinke as meate it pleased our Sauiour Christ to vse in this holy supper both wine and bread that we may be well assured that our whole life is to bee sought by vs in Iesus Christ alone The Passeouer consisted of two elements meate and drinke Exod. cha 12 verse 8. The lambe with the vnleauened breade was the meate the cup of the Testament wherin there was remembraÌ„ce of the blood whiche was clapt vppon the Israelites doore postes for assurance of their deliueraunce our of Egypt was the drinke in the Passeouer The Lordes supper consisteth of two partes meat drinke Christes body offred for vs on the crosse is the meate Christes blood shedde on the crosse for our sinnes is the drynke Our Sauiour Christ instituting a Sacrament of this meate and drinke Matth. chap. 26. vs. 26. 27 vseth bread and wine for the externall signes in this Sacrament 8 Why Christ did celebrate the supper at night The Passeouer by Moses law was to be eaten at night Exod. cha 12 verse 8. Iosu chap. 5. vers 10. Christ did first eate the Paschall lambe and did presently after institute the Sacramente of the Supper in the place of the Passeouer Wee are not tyed to the euentide for the celebration of the Lords Supper because Christe did so for wee are not bounde to eate any Passeouer immediatly before the Lords supper as Christ was by the lawe of Moses and in the forenoone whilest we are fasting wee are more earnestly and reuerently addicted to the partaking of the word and Sacrament He that thinkes that the Lordes Supper must of force be ministred at night because Iesus Christ did so will I feare bee mooued by a little perswasion to deferre baptisme vntill the age of thirtie yeeres Euseb lib. 1. cap. 10. because Christ before that time was not partaker of that holy Sacrament 4 The essentiall partes of the Lords Supper are not to be omitted but the accidentall may The essentiall ceremonies of the Lordes supper are these that the minister after a reuerent deliuery of the words of Christes institution and inuocation of the name of God breaketh the bread when it is broken distributeth it to the communicants in order afterwards likewise the cup. They whiche present them selues to the Lordes table are commaunded to take and eate the bread and to drinke of the cuppe shewing the Lordes death that is to say professing their fayth in Christ Iesus with a solemne remembrance of his passion humble thankesgiuing to his Maiestie for that inestimable benefit These essentiall ceremonies may not bee eyther altered or omitted The accidentall ceremonies of the Lordes Supper are that it was ministred at night to the disciples whilest they did sitte at table These accidentall ceremonies may bee altred by the Churches ordre 5 None may presume to present themselues to the Lordes Supper but after due examination of themselues None might eate the Passeouer before he was prepared 2. Chro. cha 35. ver 6. The Passeouer was the same to the Israelites that the holie supper is to vs but because our sacrament is more excellent then theirs great care must be had in preparing our selues Saynt Paule commaundeth a man to examine himselfe 1. Cor. chap. 11. ver 28. before the pertaking of the holy Supper This examination consists in faith and repentance faith containeth the truth of our beleef repentaunce concerneth the amendement of our life Weakenes of faith ought not to withdraw vs from the holy communion seeing it is instituted for the strengthening of our faith Vncleannes of life which is priuate and not openly knowen neyther may nor doth barre any froÌ„ the Lordes supper but such as meane not to amend 6 The godly are not defiled if they receiue the holy communion at such time as wicked men doe present themselues and are admitted to the Lordes table He that eateth and drinketh vnworthily eateth and drinketh iudgement to himselfe 1. Cor. chap. 21. ver 29. S. Paule saieth to himselfe not to others The Apostle willeth a man to examine himselfe 1. Cor. chap. 21. ver 28. before he preseÌ„t himselfe to the Lords supper Hee requireth not any coÌ„municant to examine the rest of that church which no doubt he would haue required if a godly maÌ„ were defiled by the vnworthines of any lewd coÌ„municaÌ„t Obiection It is not lawfull for vs to eate our owne bread with a wicked man therefore it is not lawfull to eate the Lordes bread with him 1. Cor. chap. 5 ver 11. Answere It is in our power to practise the former but it is not in our power to abstayne from the Lords supper though east meÌ„ be at that time partakers with vs. It is a great sinne for a knoweÌ„ wicked maÌ„ either to minister the Lords supper or to preseÌ„t himself to the holy coÌ„munioÌ„ such boldnes must be seuerely punished by theÌ„ in whose handes it is to redresse it But if this grosse sinne be practised no medicine vsed to cure it the godly must coÌ„tent theÌ„selues with grief for these enormities and remeÌ„ber that the sacrament sealeth vp Gods sweete promises to theÌ„ which the wicked sorte at no hand are partakers of 7 The Lords supper must bee common to al the godly not

vnto him Pigions turtle Doues If their abilitie serued not for these they offred a little meale The outwarde signes in the Sacraments are very meane and base things if wee looke on them with the eyes of our fleshe but they are most precious and singuler Iewelles if wee looke on them with the eyes of our fayth and do esteeme them according to the Lordes institution 10 The Sacramentes are not naked and bare signes In Baptisme the efficacie of Gods spirite is present to washe and regenerate those which appertayne vnto God The Lordes Supper is a spirituall banquet 1. Cor. chap. 10. ver 3.4.16 wherein Gods children are truely and in deede fedde with the body and blood of Christ The apostle calleth the Sacrament spirituall meate and spirituall drinke and a litle after in the same chapter hee calleth the cuppe of blessing which we blesse the communion of the blood of Christe and the bread which we break the communion of the body of Christ The Sacraments are not bare signes because we haue the Lords institution they are seales of righteousnes and tokens of grace they are sure warrantes of Gods promises whereby God bindeth himselfe vnto vs and wee likewise stande bounde to his Maiestie so that God is our God and we are his people 11 The Sacramentes must haue the worde of God annexed to them For the worde of institution is the life of the Sacrament The Sacraments are seales of Gods word Rom. chap. 4. verse 11. Therefore where the word of intution is not there is no place left to the Sacraments There is no vse of that seale and in deede it deserues not the name of a seale whiche is put to an vnwritten either paper or parchment Take away the word of institution and what is the water of Baptisme but water Aug. Tract 80. in Iohan. The woorde of institution is added to the element it becomes a Sacrament 12 Gods Churche hath neede of Sacraments so long as it is in the worlde The fayth of Gods children is true that is to say not counterfaite but their faith is not perfit in this life The Sacraments are pillers of our faith Saint Paul hath these wordes as often as ye shall eate this bread and drink this cup 1. Cor cha 11 verse 26. ye shewe the Lordes death till he come whereby it is manifest that vntill Christes seconde comming wee haue both neede and vse of the Sacraments whereof wee shall haue neither vse nor neede in the life to come 13 The Sacramentes are higly to be esteemed The Sacramentes are pillers of our fayth they are glasses wherein we may beholde the riches of Gods grace which he reacheth vnto vs they are the Lordes couenauntes therefore they contayne promises whereby our consciences are lifted vp to the hope of eternall life Gods childreÌ„ receiue great benefit by baptisme Galath chap. 3. ver 27. 1. Cor. chap. 10. ver 16. for all that are baptized into Christ haue put on Christ by the Lords supper bicause the bread which we breake is the coÌ„munion of the bodie of Christ and the cup of blessing is the communion of the bloud of Christ If the Sacramentes are highly to be esteemed what shall we thinke of Pope Iohn the 23. for baptizing and beeing godfather to the great bell of Laterane in Rome of the popish sort for giuing out that we haue nothing but bare bread bare wyne in the holy communion The Sacramentes are highly to bee accounted of and honoured as holy mysteries but they must not bee honoured with diuine honour 14 The contempt of the Sacraments is very daungerous The contempt of CircumcisioÌ„ which was one of Gods sacraments was greeuously punished Gen. chap. 17 ver 14. Exod. chap. 4. ver 25. The Angell woulde haue killed Moses because his sonne was not circumcised Negligence in keeping the passeouer Nomb. chap. 9. ver 13. was greeuously punished It is a common a very souÌ„d speech that not the want but the conteÌ„pt of haptisme bringeth condemnation The Messalian heretikes did condeÌ„ne both externall signes Sacraments Obiection The Israelites were not circuÌ„cised in the wildernes by the space of 40. yeeres Iosue chap. 5. ver 7. Answere God commaunded the Israelites to goe on continually in their iourney If they had beene circumcised they had not bin able by reason of the sorenes of their bodies Iosue chap. 5. ver 8. to do as God commanded them so that Gods latter commaundement was a dispensation to theÌ„ for the omitting and deferring of circumcision Obiection The Apostles would not presse the Gentiles to be circumcised Acts. chap. 15 ver 24.28 Answere Circumcision after Christes ascensioÌ„ was not a necessary Sacrament but a thing indifferent that is to say which might for a time eyther be vsed or omitted If it had been a necessary sacrameÌ„t in the Primitiue Church Titus should haue beene circumcised Gala. chap. 2. ver 3. as Timothie was Besides circumcision after Christes ascension might not be thrust vppon the Gentiles Acts. chap. 16. ver 3. because Moses must giue place to Christ Iesus 15 The Sacraments during the time of the action of Baptisme and of the Lordes Supper are Sacramentes but after the action is ended they are no Sacramentes The elements in the sacrament during the time of the action which they serue for are true signes and pledges of the things signified by theÌ„ for in baptisme Christes bloud is propounded to vs as a lauer with which bloud we being washed are more and more graft into Christ buried together with Christ In the Lords supper Christes body and bloud is giuen to vs 1. Cor. chap. 10. ver 16. and that by distinct and seueral signes I meane the bread the wine as our true meate and true drinke vnto life euerlasting When the action of baptisme the Lords supper is ended the water in the font is no Sacrament but simple and common water and the bread and wine in the Lordes supper are not the Sacrament of Christes body bloud but commoÌ„ bread and commoÌ„ wine Therefore their fault is great which after the action of the Sacrament is ended eyther reserue any part of the elementes for Sacramentes or doe thinke that a mowse dogge or such like tasting or eating of the bread after the Lords supper is ended doe receiue the Sacrament whereas it is a certaine truth that if eyther mowse or dogge shoulde eate of the bread in the Lordes Supper during the time of the holy action they neyther doe receiue nor can be saide to receiue the Sacrament at any hande For seeing the Sacraments are seales of Gods promises touching eternall life it is certayne that no such seale is or can be giuen vnto or receiued by theÌ„ to whom Gods promise of eternal life in no wise doth appertayne 16 What good we receiue by the Sacramentes We are put in mynde by the Sacraments of Christes
