instruction The V. Ignorance Touching their Repentance THey thinke that if they can say I cry God mercy for my sinnes and if they can make a shew of sorrow for them and be sad and demure for the day wherein they Receive and for that day leave their uncharitablenesse their adultery their Drunkennnesse their Swearing and their other sinnes to which they are given though the next day or assoone as the next occasion is offered they fall to them afresh they thinke that they have repented sufficiently for them and have done as much as God requireth at their hands They doe with their sinnes when they come to Receive as Abraham did with his Servants when he went to Sacrifice Isaac Gen. 22. 5. for as he then said to his young Men abide you here with the Asse and I and the Lad will goe yonder and worship and come to you againe So say these in effect to their sins and lusts stand you awhile aside for I must goe to the Sacrament and receive the Communion doe but stand by a while and when the Sacrament is over or at the furthest when the Sacrament day is over I will come to you againe Or they do as the Serpent is said to doe who when he goes to Drinke first vomits up all his poyson but assoone as he comes back againe he licks and sucks it up all againe and is as venemous as ever he was before And in particular with their uncharitablenesse they deale just as Themistocles and Aristides are reported to have done with theirs for when they went Ambassadours or to lead an Army together they used to lay downe their mutuall hatred in the borders of their Country and left their enmity behinde them there till they came home againe but then they resumed it and were as deadly Enemies as ever they were before So these men when they goe to the Communion they can be content to leave their hatred and malice at home or perchance at the Church-doore but when they come out or not long after with the Serpent they resume their poyson againe and with Themistocles and Aristides their Hatred Malice and desire of revenge But this is but meere mockery and such must know that God will not be thus mocked Gal. 6. 7. For there can be no true Repentance where there is not at least an hearty desire a full purpose and a sincere and earnest endeavour to leave those sinnes which at our comming to the Communion we made shew to repent us of And where such Repentance is wanting such Receivers like the Pharisees Proselite Mat. 23. 15. doe make themselves twofold more the Children of Hell than they were before as having added both to the guilt of their impenitency the fresh guilt of the prophanation of Gods Ordinance and having doubled their hardnesse and increased their strength to follow sin with the more greedinesse The VI Ignorance Touching their comming to the Communion without Charity MAny that have no great care nor make any great Conscience of comming to the Sacrament without knowledge Faith or Repentance yet will seeme to make some scruple of comming without Charity Yea many though they will not abstaine for that they be common Swearers habituall Drunkards uncleane persons and the like notorious sinners in many other respects yet if there be a breach and a falling out betweene them and others they will by no meanes meddle with the Sacrament but will abstaine from comming to it purposely for that very reason But if these Men out of Conscience Scruple their comming to the Sacrament without Charity why then scruple they not their living without it too and their want of those other as necessary graces Knowledge Faith and Repentance For a good Conscience in one thing is a good Conscience in all The VII Ignorance Touching their not Receiving oftner WHen they are told of their negligence in not comming oftner to the Communion they will answer that they hope they doe well therein for they beare as good a Soule to GOD as the best of them all they thanke GOD they love their Church and say their Prayers duely but indeede they were not wont to receive their Maker so often they come at Easter as their honest Neighbours doe and they thanke God they never missed and they doubt not but that in so doing they have sped as well as the best and therefore that they should be loath now to change their Custome The end A Catalogue of some new Bookes Printed for R.
