XXII Comparison betweene the two holy Sacraments IF wee may presume to make comparison of the two holy Sacraments of Baptisme and of the Supper Comparison of the two holy Sacraments though there bee a difference betweene it and regeneration which is not reiterated For it sufficeth that wee be once regenerate and begotten a new but this spirituall nutriment is often renued according to the course of nature and other differences very amply described by the holy Apostles and Ministers of Gods Word Nothwithstāding the same end the same Iesus Christ is represented as well in Baptisme as in the Supper Tit. 3. Iohn 3.6 By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee are regenerated by the same Blood nourished By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee are renued sett and engraffed and by the same Blood wee are entertained Rom. 11. Iohn 6. Gal. 3. Ephes 4. and preserved from hongring or thirsting for ever By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee cast of our old corrupt skin put on his body from which likewise wee receive nourishment eternall life By the Blood of Iesus Christ wee have accesse and entry into the Kingdome of Heaven And by the same Blood wee have fruition of the same Kingdome In this sense the holy Apostle testifieth that wee were all baptized by the vertue of the Holy Spirit 1. Cor. 19. 1. Cor. 10. and wee all likewise drunke of the same spirituall drinke given unto us by Iesus Christ Be not these comparisons drawne out of the holy Scriptures to witnesse that Iesus Christ is the onely aime and scope whereto wee must tend both in Baptisme and the holy Supper If therefore that the signes of sacramentall water in Baptisme and Bread and Wine in the Supper of Iesus Christ are sacred Signes Earnests Gages Hostages Symboles Seales and Sacraments instituted by God for an assurance and approbation of our faith Against the Missalians Wherefore O Missalians seeing you have invented a Magicke of transubstantiation for the Sacrament of the Supper why did you not likewise with the same Magicke sophisticate the Sacrament of Baptisme Why have you not constituted that sacramentall water after it is by you exorcis'd and conjur'd with salt to repell devels to be transubstantiated into the blood of Iesus Christ the water being no more water but an accident without substance as you have forged by the bread and wine What difference doe you assigne but Sophistries Sophismes and Missalian subtilties If you persevere in your heresie Iohn 3.4.7 Tit. 3. Gal. 3. by reason of this word est This word is also used in the water of Baptisme which is termed renovation and regeneration it is named the Holy Spirit and the Vestment by and with which wee are revested renued and regenerated in the blood of Iesus Christ Seeing therefore you acknowledg O Missalians that you could never yet meet with a second Berengarius to institute another Decree of a Palinody for the extending of your Magicall transubstantiation to the sacred water of Baptisme and by the same meanes likewise to transubstantiate your lustrall Flegme Spittle your Oyle your Creames Against the corrupters of Baptisme your Salt and other Drugges wherewith you you have corrupted the holy Sacrament of Baptisme why are you so inveterate and obdurate in your Pompilian Religion as to hale Iesus Christ from the right hand of his Father to make him in body and blood to descend by your muttered Magick like another Jupiter Elicius before the day preordained for his second comming I may well propound unto you the similitude of the Sunne Luk. 1. Mal. 4. Comparison of the Sun to Iesus Christ which 〈◊〉 the Martyr used in his Treatise of the Exposition of faith chap. 2 A notable comparison of the Sun utterly to confute the erroneous doctrine of Transubstantiation called by some Apostles the Sunne of Righteousnes Iesus Christ because light comes from Heaven by this luminous glorious sphericall Planet and so spirituall light is exhibited to us by Iesus Christ who out of the night and darknesse of sinne hath
