you cannot get off it O it is a command of God and you dare not omit it To which I reply First That when God had an outward Tabernacle and Temple Church and Ministery as under the Law he was very exact with the people in the observation thereof a Pin must not be left out nor a Naile out of its place but Looke that thou make them after the patterne which was shewed thee in the mount Exod. 25.40 And this day shall you observe for ever in your generations Exod. 12.14 And this the tenth day of the first month vers 3. And the seventh year should be a Sabbath to them and the fiftieth year a year of Jubile Levit. 25.4 11. There must be no swerving from the observation of these Secondly When the Lord leaves this house and will build another Cloathed with greater glory he tyes not his people to the outward observation of things he is not now as formerly exact in them Doth not command them to be baptized with water but into the Spirit Christ tells them They shall be baptized with the holy Ghost and with fire commands that they be baptized into the Name of Father Son and Spirit viz into the power and glory of these three and yet one into a clear knowledg and understanding of these And for the Supper doth not enjoyn them to the strict and absolute observation of it nor when as under the law such a day shall you observe the Passeover but now As oft as you do it do it in remembrance of me not telling them how oft they should do it But how long must this eating bread and drinking wine last during your continuance in the dark until the Lord comes and be a feast of fat things in the spirit and life to you until he be revealed from Heaven consuming this dross and earthly knowledg within you and then shall you drink no more of this fruit of the Vine but drink it new in the Kingdom You used signs and tokens of his death c. had many letters representing him but now he is come what need these he is come himself even his sweet self nay further as the Lord did not then binde his people to outwards so were they used by the Apostles as in them they might become all to all stoop to them and speak them in their own language and as children to deal with them 3. Those Churches with their glory ministry and all were to dye and wither away apostatize and fall back and this for time times and half a time as the Scripture plentifully witnesseth and the holy City under foot and when Christ cometh shall he finde faith on the earth And this should be until the Kingdoms of this world become the Lords his Christs and God take to him his great reign yea till the Tabernacle of God shall be with men and a new Heaven and Earth appear and God make all things new and this is the Church and the Ministry which the Scripture tells you shall be set up after the Apostatizing days Therefore dear hearts binde not your selves where God hath not bound you be free in what the Lord hath made you free 2. A second Reason why the judgment of the Lord shall from Heaven fall upon you is because you by reason of your narrow thoughts and apprehensions keep the Lord Jesus prisoner will not permit him to go any where or dwell in any save your selves You are offended if the Lord break forth in a further manifestation of Glory to others not of your rank and order Lord saith the Presbyter here thou must abide this is thy dwelling place never remove from hence And here saith the Independent And here saith the Anabaptist c. Do you think that he that hath the key of David that openeth and no man shutteth and shutteth and no man openeth will become your prisoner No no his glory he will not give to another The Lord if he rend the vail of this fleshly Temple and pass through it into the highest Heavens you will serpent-like wait for this man-childe brought forth by the woman viz. weakness that you may devour it and therefore you cry out Lo here is Christ and lo there and question people saying Are you a member of a visible Church of what society and so lessen that comfort and peace or at least endeavor it that poor souls have in God by reason they are not joyned to your societies But in all their afflictions he is afflicted the Lord in this weak brother or sister is afflicted and beareth all he beareth and thus you imprison and afflict the Lord himself 3. Because it is your shame to live upon a naked God to have the Kingdom of God onely within you you are unwilling to leave outward bread and wine for God the bread and water of life and he that is ashamed of God of him shall God himself be ashamed What say you shall we by men be accounted no more praying fasting men hearing and preaching men no more to weep and mourn but all tears to be wiped from our eyes to observe no Sabbath but the Lord God and to call him holy a delight honorable not to think our own thoughts nor speak our own words O this is your shame namely to leave the water in the cisterns and that run in the channels for that great river and fountain whose streams make glad the City of God It is to you a greater shame to be at your fathers house with the fatted calf then in the Country to feed swine and to eat their husks therefore he that helpeth shall fall and he that is holpen shall fall down and they shall all fail together II. A second word and that of advice and counsel First That you would assemble your selves to the Supper of the great God and this saith the Angel the Messenger of God that stands and abides in the glory of God Rev. 19.17 And I saw an Angel standing in the Sun and cryed with a loud voyce saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven Come and gather your selves together unto the Supper of the great God The Lord invites you the great and mighty God woos you by his Messenger by another appearance of his My advice is That you would go tarry not and that you may understand the Supper what it is 1. The flesh and blood of the mighty men of the earth the power and authority of the rulers of the world which are bound in chains Rev. 19.18 That ye may eat the flesh of Kings and the flesh of Captains c. Ezek. 39.18 19. Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the Princes of the earth of Rams of Lambs c. And ye shall eat fat until ye be full and drink blood until ye be drunken of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you You shall fill and satisfie your selves with the judgment of the Lord upon the
