verie child of perdition invented and ordeined for this is a most undoubted truth looke how farre the commaundement extends so farre doth the blessing of the commander euen of Iesus Christ our Lord extend and no further Therefore whatsoeuer in the same sacrament you haue not a commandement for and is of necessary vse therein you haue no promise from Christ for his blessing thereon dare wee then conforme to a gesture which the Lord hath not promised to blesse yea which being not warranted by his word he will verely curse and bring contempt vpon though all the world blesse it I confesse the table gesture doth not so liuely expresse and call to remembrance the death of Christ his torments and breaking of his body his greevous passion and sheading of his most pretious bloud as some other ceremoniall signes do for which cause it was not ordained to that end and the breaking of the bread and powering out of the wyne were appointed as perfectly sufficient for that purpose and vse but no other gesture in the world can possibly so liuely expresse our communion with Christ our Lord through our assured pettaking truely and really the verie things themselues and the whole merit thereof which spiritually are represented and exhibited to euery faithfull receauer in the visible elements assuring vs that they are as verely ours as if wee had done and suffered the same things our selues which are herein called to our remembrance Let not conformity therefore to any other gesture intimate a grevous indiscretion in Christ either in leauing this waightie matter vncerteine and to be varied according to the humors of times or if making it certeine then in choosing and so causing all his Apostles representing all the communicants to the end of the world to conforme to a gesture in the act of receaving nothing so de●rnt and seemly as that which Antichrist ordained especially nothing so comely and significant as the similitude thereof which others hauing purged haue also canonized In the institution of this holy sacrament there was nothing vsed or approued by our blessed Lord but what was holy necessary and neuer being by him repealed is still most pretious Let all that loue him labour to keepe it from the vile and neuer conforme to any humane deuise in the stead thereof which all the canons of all the learned men in the world cannot possibly make a holy or pretious vse It is necessary for al that desire to be saued or to haue by worthy pertaking this sacrament assurance of falvation to haue good assurance for their certeine persvvasion in these things vvhom therefore in al hearty humility pray and beseech that they labor and striue to get the vvedding garment and it vvill quickly teach them the supper gesture Revel 14 3.
