The EPISTLE to the READER Christian Reader THO' Baptism and the Supper of the Lord be sacred Ordinances and Christ's own Institutions yet such is the sin and shame of this degenerate Age That Multitudes under the Christian Profession live in a careless Omission of them and not a few in a prophane Conâ—â—mpt and Opposition against them The Fault of the former sort proceeds from gross Ignorance of the spiritual Nature Vse and Ends of these Ordinances That of the latter from a Spirit prepossessed and prejudiced with Error Now tho' I have little hopes of doing any good upon the Erronious by this brief and slender Piece seeing their Malignity against the Truths which they disown will probably encline them to reject it with disdain on the first sight of the Title Page without vouchsafing it a sober perusal yet the hopes of being somewhat serviceable to the Ignorant especially to such as are desirous of spiritual Knowledge and are willing to be instructed have at length prevailed with me to comply with the Request of Christian Friends in exposing this mean Essay to publick View I know there are many excellent Helps of this kind already extant and therefore this may well be thought needless and I confess this very Consideration hath suppressed these Meditations for many years by me but observing divers Tracts that speak much of the Lord's Supper say little or nothing of Baptism tho' this being the initiating Ordinance and first seal of the Gospel Covenant ought first to be considered and well understood I have therefore endeavoured to open both these holy Ordinances distinctly together with the Nature of the Covenant of Grace to which they are annexed as its visible signs and seals I have made it my Business to gather the most material and soul-concerning Truths that I find scattered in many excellent Authors that have written on this Subject and contracted them that I might give thee much in a little and croud as much precious Matter into these few Pages as I well could without prejudice to the sense and with due regard to weaker Memories that a little Pains and Patience may make much Truth thine own I have also endeavoured to express my sense of things with the greatest plainness and clearness I could using words and phrases that may easily be understood by persons of mean Capacity and studiously declining others having observed in Teaching both Young and Old that the want of understanding the true meaning tho' but of one word in a Sentence hath made the whole unintelligible and so unprofitable to them Thou wilt find to most of the Answers scripture Proofs subjoined tho' only referr'd to for brevities sake therefore pray turn to them and see with thine own eyes how clearly and fully these Truths are confirmed by the holy Scriptures and so the reason why thou should'st believe them for we ought to make no Position or Assertion an Article of our Christian Faith but what is founded on a Divine Attestation and bottomed on the written Word of God which is the only perfect and perpetual Rule of our Christian Faith and Practice I have purposely chosen to give thee this Help in a Catechistical method by way of Question and Answer for these Reasons 1. Because it is the most easie plain familiar way of instructing the Ignorant and therefore like to he the more profitable 2. Because it is of great Antiquity having been used not only in the Christian but also in the Jewish Church yea some of the Learned trace its Foot steps back to the beginning of time concluding that it was practised by Adam himself who catechised or instructed his Sons in the Doctrine of Man's Fall of the Seed of the Woman and of worshipping of God by offering sacrifices c. Read Willet Downham Greenham Pemble and others on this Subject 3. Because the neglect of Catechising for 20 or 〈◊〉 years last past which we should reflect on with â—ame and grief hath been one great cause of the â—ecay of Knowledge in our days there being maâ—y thousands of adult and grown Persons and maâ—y of them Parents and Governours of Families â—osly ignorant of the very Fundamentals of the â—hristian Faith which they profess and that tho' me of them have sate under the preaching of the â—ord a long time Indeed 't is an Observation I â—â—ve often made and am confirmed in it by daily exerience That uncatechised Heads understand but â—ittle of the most excellent Sermons they bear and therefore it is not to be thought strange that they grow little the wiser by them O that this were duly considered and might prove a cogent Argument to Ministers and Governours of Families for the Revival of this useful Exercise among us And because my words may have little weight let me here take leave humbly to mind my Reverend Brethren of a serious and weighty Passage of a great Divine now in Glory Prouble Vind. Grat. Praef. p. 13 14. I could heartily wish said he that those Ministers among us whom either Ease or Pride have made careless in this Office of Caâ—â—chising would be pleas'd to look abroad into such Congregations where this course is held and to compare them with their own and others where 't is neglected they should soon perceive how fair and open a passage is made for preaching to follow after where diligent Catechising hath gone before and on the other side how hopeless their Endeavours is who labour to imprint in the Heads of their People the Knowledge of Conclusions before they have learned the Principles of Divinity If these Men complain and say We have spent our strength in vain and our Labour without profit preaching long and seeing little Reformation I will not pity them who are likâ— unwise Nurses that when their Children thrive not lay the Blame upon their sickly Bodies when the Fault is in their own indiscretion who feed them not with Childrens Bread but forcâ— upon them stronger Meat which they cannoâ— digest but vomit up again Thus he To this hearty wish of his
VVhy did Christ change the Administration of the Covenant A. For his own glory and the Churches good for 1. Those Ordinances under the Old Covenant were more dark difficult costly and weak than these under the New Covenant 2. Those Ordinances became unsuitable and unserviceable to the Church after Christ's coming in the flesh because they signified Christ to come therefore when Christ the Substance of them was come those Sadows must be done away Q. 45. How hath God confirmed the Covenant of Grace A. God hath confirmed it by 4 things 1. By his Word of Promise Gen. 17.7 2. By his Oath Gen. 22.16 17. Hebr. 6.13 14 17 18. 3. By the death of Christ Heb. 9.16 17. 4. By the Signs and Seals of the Covenant Rom. 4.11 Q. 46. VVhat are the Signs and Seals of the New covenant of grace now in Gospel days A. The Signs and Seals of the New Covenant are Baptism and the Lord's Supper Q. 47. VVhy are these Ordinances called Signs and Seals of the Covenant A. Because they are of the same signification and use to the Covenant of Grace as Signs and Seals put to Covenants between Man and Man use to be Q. 48. VVhat is their signification use A. These Ordinances as Signs do signifie the Grace and Good-will of God in Christ to his Covenant-people and as Seals do confirm conveigh and apply the Grant of the Covenant or a Right to all the Blessings promised therein to Belieâ—ers and their engagement to Obedience 1 Pet. 3.21 Rom. 6.3 4. Gal. 3.27 Q. 49. Do these Sacraments certainly â—ork grace in all that receive them A. No. It is evident that many of â—ose who are baptized and have receiâ—ed the Lord's Supper live and dye in a â—aceless state Acts 8.23 Luke 13.26 27. Q 50. Who then do receive saving beneby the Sacraments A. Those only receive saving benefit the Sacraments to whom the holy Spiâ—â—â— of God doth bless them working in â—â—d by them on their Hearts as he doth 〈◊〉 all God's Elect 1 Cor. 3.7 Q. 51. What is Baptism A. Baptism is an holy Ordinance of frist wherein the washing with Water 〈◊〉 or into the Name of the Father the 〈◊〉 and the Holy Ghost signifies and seals 〈◊〉 ingrafting into Christ Remission of 〈◊〉 by his Blood and Regeneration by Spirit and whereby the Persons bapâ—â—ed are solemnly entred into the visible Church and into an open and professed engagement to be wholly and only God's Covenant-people Matth. 28.19 Gal. 3.27 Mark 1.4 Rev. 1.5 Tit. 3.5 Eph. 5.26 1 Cor. 12.13 Rom. 6.4 5. Q. 52. What be the Parts of Baptism A. They are two The outward and visible part signifying and the inward and spiritual part signified Q 53. What is the outward signifying part of Baptism A. The outward signifying part of Baptism consists in the washing the Body with the Element of Water and the use of the words of Institution i e. Baptizing c. Q. 54. What is the inward part signifieâ— by the outward signs A. 1. By the washing with Water iâ— signified two things the washing awaâ— of the guilt of our sins or our Pardon and Justification procured by the blood oâ— Christ and the washing away of the filtâ— of sin or our Sanctification by the Spirâ—â— of Christ in the work of Regeneration Rom. 1.5 John 3.5 2 By the words of Institution i e. Baâ—tizing in the Name of the Father Son 〈◊〉 Holy Ghost two things are also signifieâ— 1. That Ministers have Authoriâ— both from God the Father Son and Holy Ghost to administer Baptism 2. That the Persons baptized do enter into an holy Covenant with God the Father Son and Holy Ghost i e. They take this only living and true God to be their own and only God and give up themselves if grown Persons or are given up by their Parents if Infants to this God to be his Covenant-servants Matth. 28.18 19. 2 Cor. 8.5 Q. 55. What are the special Ends of Baptism A. The special Ends of Baptism are of two sorts 1. Such as respect God and so it is to be 1. A Sign to signifie the Grace of the Covenant and 2. A Seal to confirm the Grant of the Covenant Rom. 4.11 Col. 2.11 12. Acts 22.16 Eph. 5.26 2. Such as respect Man and so it is to be 1. A Badge of our Christian Profession 2. A Bond to oblige us to perform the Duties of the Covenant Gal. 5.3 Rom. 8.12 1 Pet. 3.21 Q. 56. To whom is Baptism to be Administred A. Baptism is not to be administred to any that are out of the visible Church of Christ until they are instructed in the Christian Religion and profess Faith in Christ and Obedience unto him But the Infants of such as are Members of the visible Church are to be baptized Matth. 28.19 Acts 2.41 Gen. 17.7 10. Acts 2.38 39. Q. 57. How may it be proved that the Infants of Church-Members have a Right to Baptism A. It may be proved by these Arâ—guments 1. By their Covenant Relation to God Those that are in Covenant have a right to the Signs and Seals of the Covenant But the Children of believing Parents are in Covenant Therefore they have a right to the Signs and Seals of it Gen. 17.7 Deut. 29.10 11 12 13 14 15. Q. 58. Have Infants then a Right to the Lord's Supper also and should they receive it A. The Infants of Believers have a remote tho' not an immediate and actual right to the Lord's Supper therefore may not receive it in their Infancy for want of a capacity to discern the Lord's Body or to understand the Nature Use and Ends of that Ordinance and to use it accordingly Q. 59. Should they not then be kept from Baptism also for the same Reason seeing they understand not that Ordinance A. No. For they are as capable of Receiving this Ordinance of Baptism as the Jewish Infants were of Circumcision at 8 days old and ought to be baptized because Baptism comes in the room of Circumcision and as that was the Sacrament of Initiation or Entrance into the Church and into the Covenant so is this Matt. 28.19 20. Col. 2.11.12 Q. 60. By what other Argument is it proved A. 2. By the Command of our Lord Jesus Christ requiring his Apostles and in them all Gospel-Ministers to Disciple all Nations Baptizing them and Infants are a very considerable part of Nations Q. 61. But must they not believe first and then be baptized as Mark 16.16 And how can Infants believe A. Adult or grown Persons without the Church must first be instructed in the Doctrine of Christ and believe in him before they are admitted to Baptism as Acts. 2.38 39 40 41. But the Infants of Church-Members may be baptized tho' they do not actually believe because they are the Children of Believers seeing Children are parts of their Parents are accounted but as one Person with them both by the Laws of God and Man as the Root Branches are but one
Grace the Seals of it and Spiritual benefit by them Eph. 1.3 2 Cor. 9.12 Q. 370 What is another publick Duty A. 2. A sincere renewing our Consent to the Covenant of Grace and yielding our selves to the Lord as his Covenant-Servants with holy purposes of new and better Obedience to him in the strenght of Christ for time to come 2 Kings 23.3 2 Chron. 15.12 Rom. 6.13 c. 12.1 Ps 119.8 32. Q. 371. What is another publick Duty A. A cheerful giving some Relief to the poor Members of Jesus Christ in testimony of our Love and Thankfulness to Christ for the Mercy we have received from him and of our Love to them Gal. 6.10 1 Cor. 16.1 2. Matth. 25.40 Q. 372. What are the private Duties after the Lord's Supper A. They are two especially 1. A diligent Inquiry Whether we have received any spiritual Comfort or Benefit by this Ordinance i. e. Whether our Graces have been strengthned our Souls refreshed nourished revived and cheered our Consciences pacified and our Assurance of the Love of God increased c. Q. 373. What if we cannot find any of these Spiritual Benefits A. We should search out the Cause whether it was not want of due preparation before or want of a right disposition in the partaking of it and if so we should confess it unto God and be humbled for it endeavouring by after pains in Humiliation and Prayer to obtain the efficacy and benefit of it Q. 374. What if we did our best in preparing for it and in partaking of it and yet are not sensible of any real Benefit or Comfort by it A. We should pray earnestly to God and wait patiently on him for the Benefit and Comfort of this Ordinance because as Physick doth not presently work nor Meat presently nourish so neither doth this or other Ordinances always presently benefit our Souls but in God's time they shall Q. 375. What if we do find present Benefit and Comfort by it A. We should thankfully acknowledge it to God and labour to preserve it by an holy humble and watchful Conversation 1 Thess 5.18 Eph. 5.15 Q. 376. What is the other Duty after the Lord's Supper A. A faithful keeping Covenant with God yielding a ready cheerful and constant Obedience to all his Commandments in Heart Lip and Life watching and praying against sin resisting its motions and temptations exercising Grace laying hold on Opportunities of honouring God in doing or receiving Good endeavouring to be perfect in every Good Work to do his Will that our Fruit may be unto holiness and the end Eternal Life Deut. 29.9 Psal 103.18 Heb. 5.9 Luke 1.6 Heb. 13.21 Rom. 6.22 Q. 377. Why should we be thus careful to keep Covenant with God A. 1. Because we cannot otherwise justly expect God should keep Covenant with us or that he should give us the Blessings promised unless we give him the Obedience commanded Deut. 7.9 10 11. 2. Because else we should but mock God in making Covenant with him and in receiving the Signs and Seals of it and deceive our own Souls Isa 66.30 3. Becanse we should else deprive our selves of the spiritual Benefits of this Ordinance and expose our selves to God's just Displeasure 1 Cor. 11.29 30. Eccles 5.4 5.

WHat is a Sacarment in general Answ A Sacrament is an holy Ordinance of Divine Institution annexed to the Covenants which God hath made with Men wherein by outward and sensible signs the Promises of the Covenant are represented sealed and applied to God's Covenant-people and they are bound to obey him Gen. 17.10 Rom. 4.11 Q. 2. Are these Ordinances call'd by the name of Sacraments in the holy Scriptures A. No. Yet seeing it is a word very fit to signifie the thing to which it is applied it may lawfully be used Q. 3. What is the original and proper signification of the word Sacrament A. As it was used of old in a civil sense it signified an Oath taken in War by Souldiers to their General whereby they were bound to perform the Duties of that Relation Q. 4. Why are the Seals of God's Covenants called Sacraments A. Because by our receiving them we are bound as it were by an Oath to perform the Duties of God's Covenant-people Rom. 6.3 4 5. Q. 5. What are the parts of a Sacrament A. Two The one is an outward visible sign or thing signifying which may be seen by the Eye of the Body as Water in Baptism and Bread and Wine in the Lord's Supper The other is the inward and spiritual grace or thing signified which can only be seen by the Eye of the Soul or by Faith and that is Christ with all his saving Benefits Matth. 3.11 1 Pet. 3.21 Rom. 2.28 29.
