giuen for vs and the wine may notifie and assure vs of the blood of Christ shed for vs. Wherein consists the fitnesse which true Bread hath to signifie the Body of Christ It consists in three things 1. that like as the bread is broken so the body of Christ was broken and torne vpon the Crosse for vs as Paul saith This bread it is the communi● of the body of Christ 2. Th● like as bread hath the force of nourishing so the body o● of Christ giuen for vs vn● death hath power to refres● our consciences forlorne and almost spent and pined away by reason of sinne 3. Like as bread doth not only nourish but it doth also strengthen our body so the body of Christ in like manner deliuered vnto death for vs hath power continually to cherish and sustaine our drooping miserable consciences Wherein consists the correspondencie that Wine hath vnto the Blood of Christ In three things also first euen as the wine is poured out into the Cup and poured also out of the Cup so the blood of Christ sprung out of his body and was shed vpon the Crosse Secondly euen as wine hath the power of reuiuing and quickning or of heating and moyst●ning of our body and of increasing vitall and animall spirits so the blood of Christ or the merit of the blood of Christ hath the power of quickning our Consciences benummed and dryed vp by reason of sin Thirdly euen as wine maketh glad the heart of man and hath great vertue in it to cheare vp the mind so the merit of Christ or the bloud of Christ worketh an vnspeakable ioy in our soules whereof Dauid speaketh Psal 51. Restore vnto me my ioy againe J haue heard what the foundation of the Lords Supper is in respect of the Sacrament it selfe or the things themselues now tell mee what is their ground and foundation which doe vse it or the foundation in respect of vs It is true Faith whereby wee doe so looke vpon these signes as they signifie remember and assure vs of the body blood of Christ Si quis māducauerit ex ipso non morietur in aeternum Hoc pertinet ad virtutem Sacramenti non ad visibile Sacramentum Qui manducat intus non foris qui manducat corde non qui premit dente Aug Quasi non possit tangi quum iam ascenderit at vtique poterit sed affectu non manu voto non oculo fide non sensibus Bern. and so cōsequently of his whole merit and so likewise of assured remissiō of our sins following vpō that merit For in the supper of the Lord remissiō of sins is not granted vnto vs neither hath the Bread or the Wine any power to purifie from sinnes as the Papists peruersly doe imagine But our Faith is confirmed strengthned by th●se signes in the remission of sinnes which was granted and giuen vnto vs before that wee approached the Supper Wherein consists that Faith which we must bring to the Lords Supper thereby to be confirmed and strengthned It consists in two things First in a sure trust and confidence whereby wee beleeue for certaine that Christs body was giu●n and his blood shedde for vs that is for that person that commeth to bee partaker of the Lords Supper Secondly it consisteth in application whereby wee appropriate vnto our selues Christs passion steadfastly beleeuing that wee as Christs members are so made one with Christ our head that as hee suffered for our sinnes euen so the pardon for all those sinnes for his passion sake we should as certainely be perswaded of as if we our selues had beene crucified and there haue giuen our owne proper bodies and shed our owne hearts blood I haue heard as concerning the foundation and ground of the Lords Supper it remaineth that I heare somewhat of the end or the finall cause for which the Lords Supper was instituted and for which it becommeth mee to communicate at the Lords Table The end or finall cause is first in respect of Christ then in respect of our selues In respect of Christ Reliquit nobis Christꝰ 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 i. e. Monumenta suae salutaris passionis quae proposuimus iuxta eius mādata Basil the end is the commemoration of that his most bitter passion which he endured for vs both in his soule and in his body A commemoration I say that is a gratulatorie remembrance to the end that for that so great a benefit and vnutterable loue towards vs we should in the publike assembly and congregation in the very face of the Church yeeld together with that remembrance most heartie thankes As Christ saith Doe this in remembrance of me 1 Cor. 11.24 in an Eucharisticall or thankefull wise Whereupon this Sacrament is also called the Eucharist for this principal vse of the Lords Supper In respect of our selues the vse of the Lords Supper is either Primary or Secondary What is the Primarie vse of it in respect of our selues It is two fold First the confirming and establishing of our Faith as touching the forgiuenesse of our sinnes for Christs body giuen vnto death for vs and for his blood shed vpon the Crosse likewise for vs. The other vse is the nourishing strengthning reuiuing and chearing of our consciences which were by the burthen of sin oppressed withered and disconsolate Which is the secondary vse arising from the former It is three fold first the consecration of our selues that euen as Christ offered himselfe once vpon the Altar of the Crosse for vs so we should in this publike action of the Church offer vp our selues and our whole life euen all that are ours vnto God and his Sonne Secondly the publike confession of the faith to wit that by these externall symboles and tokens as by a military marke and badge wee may testifie vnto what company we belong and to what religion wee adioyne our selues Thirdly the obligation of our selues that wee should also by this publike action in the sight of the Church bind our selues to loue our neighbour and to doe the workes of charitie especially to them that are partakers with vs in the same beliefe and religion And hereupon it was that the Ancients called this Supper of the Lord 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is a loue-feast and that they were alwaies wont which came vnto the Supper to giue some Almes vnto the poore that so they might testifie how that by the vse of the Lords Supper they were obliged to performe workes of loue and charity towards their Neighbours And this is the true doctrine of the Lords Supper drawne out of the onely word of God Syst Theol. pag. 459.
