of Israel and to bee without God in the world But when once we come to haue fellowship in one and the same Common-wealth of the Communion of Saints then thorough Christ wee haue accesse by one spirit vnto the father euen vnto one and the same father 2. They haue one common mother the Church Gal. 4. 26. Ierusalem which is aboue is free which is the mother of vs all So are they fellow-brethren both by fathers and mothers side Fitly therefore are these two articles ioyned together I beleeue in the holy Catholique Church the Communion of Saints By vertue of the Communion of Saints wee challenge a freedome in that holy incorporation 3. They haue one common elder brother IESVS CHRIST Heb. 2. 11. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren This Communion stands not onely in a brotherhood among themselues but in a common brotherhood betweene CHRIST and the faithfull As the head is not onely the head of the shoulders but of the feet of the leggs and all other parts of the body They haue all one cōmon head 4. They haue all one common inheritance So that this partnership and fellowship doth not onely make them brothers but heerein it goes further for many brethren haue common parents a common elder brother but not the inheritance common their common elder brother makes that proper and peculiar to himselfe But heere there is a communion in the inheritance it being alike common to euery one Hence the faithfull are called fellow-heires Ephes 3. 6. and Fellow-citizens with the Saints and of the houshold of GOD Ephes 2. 19. And IOHN writes himselfe a brother of the Churches and a companion or co-partner 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 in the Kingdome of IESVS CHRIST Apoc. 1. 9. Hence in CHRIST neither bond nor free c. but hee hath made vs all Kings and Preists to God his father Apoc. 1. 6. Hence IVDE calls it the Common saluation Iude 3. The Saints of God haue all communion in one and the same saluation and Kingdome of God So PETER speakes of himselfe I a witnesse and a partaker 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of glory 1 Pet. 3. 1. 5. They haue all one common profession of the same faith Therefore howeuer faith in regard of the beleeuers application is proper and particular yet in regard of the profession thereof it is called the common faith Tit. 1. 4. To Titus mine owne sonne after the common faith This is that fellowship PAVL mentions Philip. 1. 5. your fellowship in the Gospell Their fellowship stood as in other things so in the common beleeuing receiuing and professing the Gospell Thus are they fellow-beleeuers and fellow-professours 6. They haue all the same ordinances of Gods worship in common and haue a ioynt fellowship and communion in the vse and exercise of them fellow-hearers of the same Word and Gospell Hence that phrase of the fellowship of the Mystery Ephes 3. 9. fellow-partners and fellow-partakers of the same Sacraments Hence the Supper called the Communion The cup of blessing which we blesse is it not the Communion of the bloud of Christ The bread which we breake is it not the Communion of the body of Cbrist 1 Cor. 10. 16. and see the reason vers 17. for we being many are one bread and one body for wee are all partakers of that one bread The Ministers and their Ministry is not their owne nor any mans peculiar goods but the common goods of the Saints in which they are all fellow-partners It was a misse in the Corinthians when they sayd I am Pauls and I am Apollos I am Cephas 1 Cor. 1. they are as farre awry that say PAVL is mine APOLLOS mine CEPHAS mine for all things are yours whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas c. all are yours and you are Christs and Christ is Gods There are but three Lords of all things GOD CHRIST and the Saints and these subordinate each to other So then PAVL and APOLLOS and the Ministers and Ministry of the Gospell the Word and Sacraments are the common goods of the whole Church in which all the Saints are fellow-partners 7. They haue the prayers each of other in common Therefore our Sauiour teaches vs to pray Our father Giue vs this day our daily bread forgiue vs our trespasses Teaching vs an exercise of this fellowship in prayer we are bound to pray for others therfore others haue a partnership in our prayers Heerein is the poorest and meanest Saint of God happy that as he hath the benefit of Christs intercession in heauen so hath he also the benefit of the prayers of all Gods Saints on earth 8. They haue the graces and gifts each of other in common In Grace there is not this meum and tuum we haue no grace hut by vertue of this communion wee are bound to communicate it and to make it common to others what gifts wee receiue others haue a right in them 2 Cor. 1. 11. the gift bestowed on vs for many As once of goods Acts 4. 32. so euer of grace none must say of the grace hee possesses that it is his owne Conduits are not any ones proper goods but are common to the whole towne And PAVL sayes of the Philippians Philip. 1. 7. That they were all partakers or fellow-partners 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 of his grace All the graces and gifts that any haue they are but the Church-stocke and part of their treasury in which the whole Church hath a partnership Graces who euer is berusted with the keeping of them are Church-goods in which all the Saints are fellow-partners 9. They haue a partnership in their affliction so that one Christian suffers not without the fellowship of another as the members of the same body haue all communion in the same greefe If one member suffer all suffer with it 1 Cor. 12. 26. Remember those that are in bonds as though yee were bound with them and them which suffer aduersity as being your selues of the body They haue as well a partnership in the crowne of thornes as in the crowne of glory as well in the sufferings as in the Kingdome of CHRIST Reuel 1. 9. I Iohn who am also your brother and companion or co-partner in tribulation and in the Kingdome and patience of Iesus Christ This partnership in afflictions stands both in a fellow-feeling and a fellow-suffering both are ioyned together Heb. 10. 33. 34. Partly whilest yee became companions or partners 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 with them that were so vsed Now marke wherein they shewed themselues partners with those that were so hardly vsed in afflictions For yee had compassion on mee in my bonds there is a fellow-feeling and tooke ioyfully the spoyling of your goods there is a fellow-suffering Hence vers 23. of this Epistle calls EPAPHRAS his fellow-prisoner fellow-prisoner not in regard of place but of cause and affection yea so neere is this partnership that in regard of their fellow-feeling each in others crosses euen
