visible signe in Baptisme A. Water Q. What is signified thereby A. The blood of Christ Iesus which was shed for our sinnes Q. What proportion or agréement is there betwéene the water of Baptisme and the blood of Iesus Christ A. As the water doth wash away the filthinesse of the body so our soules being sprinckled with the Blood of Iesus Christ are washed and purged from the filthines and pollution of sinne Q. Is there any difference betwéene water in Baptisme and other water A. Not as concerning the substance but they differ in vse For common water serueth to wash the body but water in Baptisme is a Sacrament of the washing of the soule Q. Wherefore are we but once baptized since wée are commanded oftentimes to receiue the Supper A Because as Circumcision was to the Iewes so Baptisme is to vs an entrance and admission into the Church of God And it is sufficient for vs once to be admitted into Gods familie and therefore as they were but once circumcised so must we but once be baptized yet that we may remaine and continue in this familie Church of God it is necessarie that wée bée fed oftentimes and therefore we must often receiue the Sacrament of the Supper as the Iewes did euery yeare celebrate the Pass-ouer Q. What are the outward and visible signes in the Lords Supper A. Bread and wine Q. What dooth the bread signifie A. The body of Christ Q. What doth the wine signifie A. The blood of Christ Q. Why hath the Lord instituted two signes in the Supper and but one in the Baptisme A. As our bodies are not sustained by meat onely but also by drinke so the Lord would assure vs that wée are not fed to halfs as it were but Christ he is both meat and drinke vnto vs. Q. What is the resembling or proportion betwixt the Signe and the thing signified A. That as our bodyes by the hands and mouth receiuing these outward things of Bread and Wine are thereby nourished indéed so assuredly we apprehending by Faith the Passion and Blood-shedding of Iesus Christ our soules are thereby nourished and fed to eternall life hauing out sinnes remitted and Christs death and righteousnes impu●ed vnto vs. Q. Is the Bread and Wine in the Sacrament the s●●e which other common bread and wine is A. They are the same in Substance and Nature but the holy vse whereunto they are applyed make them differ from common bread and cōmon wine Q. Is not the Bread turned into the Body and the Wine into the Blood of Christ A. No. Q. But doth not our Sauiour Christ say this is my Body when he gaue the Bread and this my Blood when he gaue the Wine A. Yea but they are figurati●e spéeches attributing the name of the thing signified vnto the thing signifying as also in the olde Sacraments Circumcision was called the Couenant which was but a signe of the couenant the Pascall Lambe was called the Passe-ouer the rocke was called Christ Q. Why is the signe called by the name of the thing signified A. Because we should lift vp our mindes from those earthly and corporal things vnto the heauenly and spiritual things which are signified by them Q. Shew me more plainely how the Bread and Wine represent vnto vs the body and blood of Christ A. As Bread and Wine haue a property to nourish and maintain vs in this present life so by the partaking of the body and blood of Christ our soules are nourished in the hope of ouerlasting life so that we are not partakers onely of the bread and wine but of the body blood of Christ because he hath said This is my Body this is my Blood and the Bread and Wine which is giuen and receiued is still Bread and Wine naturally but yet the body and blood of Christ Sacramentally For the Bread and Wine kéepe alwayes the first nature but in as much as they are Signes and seales they haue the name of the thinges which they seale and signifie neither is Christs body and blood inclosed in the Bread and wine for he ascended into Heauen where he must be vntill the time of the restoring of all thinges and according to his diuine Nature power and presence of his holy Spirit he is present and will be vnto the end of the world And although the body of Christ be in Heauen and wee be on the earth yet thorough a true and a liuely Faith which ascendeth and taketh holde of the mercies of God in the merits of Christ Iesus we goe vp into heauen and he commeth downe to vs by his Spirit which can easily ioyne together things that be sundred Q. To what end doe we receiue the Sacrament of the Supper A. First for the strengthening of Faith Secondly for a testimony of our obedience and thankfulnes vnto God for the worke of our redemption Thirdly for the increase of loue and amitie For there is alwayes a Communion of Saints in the Church of God which especially consisteth in this that all the children of God are members of the same body and partakers of the same Sauiour and redeemer Iesus Christ Q. That we may be worthy Communicants of this Supper how must wee prepare our selues vnto it A. We must first try and examine our selues concerning the doctrine of a Sacrament whether wée doe rightly vnderstand or conceiue of it or no Secondly concerning our manners and life whether wee be fit to receiue it at the time appointed Q. How must wée examine our selues concerning the doctrine A. By entring into consideration of that which the holy Ghost hath written and set downe of it whether we doe fully vnderstand and know it and whether our heartes and consciences can willingly subscribe and yeeld vnto that which is taught to be the truth of it Q. Is this examination of our selues concerning the doctrine necessary A. Yea otherwise how shal we know how to behaue our selues in this holy action except we know what it is that we doe and for what end and purpose Q. How must we examine our selues concerning our manners and life whether we be fit to receiue this Sacrament or no A. By proouing our selues whether wée be the members of Christ or no. Q. How shall we know this great secret and mysterie A. If we haue Faith and Repentance Q. How shal I discerne that I haue faith A. If in my heart I be assuredly perswaded by the working of the holy Spirit in me that the punishment of my sinne is fully discharged in Christ and that whatsoeuer he hath done pertaineth not only vnto others but euen vnto me Q. How shall I know that I haue true Repentance A. If I be inwardly and hartily sorrowfull for my sinnes and do most willingly confesse them vnto God with full deliberation and purpose of amendment of life and an earnest desire to mortifie and kill sinne in me and wholly to confirme my selfe to doe the will of God Q. What if I
