Supper of the Lord and the Popish Masse Schol The supper of the Lord doth witne● vnto vs that we haue perfect forgiuenes of all our sinnes for that onely sacrifice of Christ which he himselfe once offered vpon the crosse and then that we are by the holy Ghost ingrafted into Christ who now according to his humanitie is onely in heauen at the right hand of his Father and will there be worshipped of vs. But in the Masse it is denied that ●●e quicke and dead haue forgiuenes of sinnes for the once suffering of Christ vnles Christ be still euery day offered for them by the Priests and then it is taught that Christ is bodily vnder the appearance of bread and wine and therefore ought to be worshipped in them And so the very foundation of the Masse is nothing else but a denying of that onely sacrifice and suffering of Iesus Christ Ma Who ought to come to the supper of the Lord Schol Onely they that are truely sorie that they haue offended God by t●e●● sins and do beleeue that they are forgiuen them for Christs sake and that whatsoeuer infirmities they haue they are reuered by his passion and death and who desire more and more to goe forward in faith and vprightnes of life But hypocrites and they that do not truly repent do eate and drinke vnto themselues con●emnation Ma May they also be admitted to this supper who declare themselues by their confession and life to be vnbeleeuers and vngodly men Schol In no wise for by that meanes the couenant of God is prophaned a●● 〈◊〉 wrath of God prouoked against the whole congregation Wherefore the Church by the commandement of Christ and his Apostles vsing the keyes of the kingdome of heauen ought to keepe backe such from the supper vntill they repent and amend their manners Ma What are the keyes of the kingdome of heauen Sch The preaching of the Gospell and Eclesiasticall discipline whereby heauen is opened to them that beléeue and shut against vnbeléeuers Ma How is the kingdome of heauen opened and shut by the preaching of the Gospell Schol When by the commandement of Christ it is openly preached to all and euery one that beleeuer● that all their sins are forgiuen them by God so often as they lay bold vpon the promise of the Gospell by a true faith Contrariwise vnto all vnbeleeuers Hypocrites it is denounced that the wrath of God and euerlasting condemnation lyeth vpon them so long as they continue in their sins According to which testimonie of the Gospell God will iudge aswell in this present life as in the life to come Ma How is the kingdome of heauen shut and opened by Eclesiasticall discipline Schol When by the commandement of Christ they who are in name Christians but in doctrine and life shew themselues strangers from Christ after they haue bene once or twice admonished and will not depart from their errours or sinfull liuing are presented to the Church or to those who are appointed to that office by the Church and if they obey not their admonition are by forbidding them the Sacraments shut out from the assembly of the Church and not receiued againe till they professe amendment Ma Seeing we are deliuered from all sinnes and miseries without any desert of our owne by the only mercy of God for Christs sake to what end should we do good workes Schol Because after that Christ hath redeemed vs by his blood he doth also renew vs with his spirit according to his owne Image to the end that hauing receiued so great benefits we should all our life long shew our selues thankfull towards God and that he might be glorified by vs. Secondly that we also euery one of vs may be assured of our faith by the fruites thereof L●st of all that by the vprightnes of our life we may gaine others to Christ M●i Cannot they then be saued who being vnthankfull and continuing securely in their sinnes are not turned from their wickednes vnto God Schol By no meanes For as the scripture witnesseth neither vncleane persons nor Idolaters nor Adulterers nor theeues nor coueteus persons nor Drunkards nor Rulers nor Oppressors shall Inherit the Kingdome of God M●i Of what parts consisteth true Repentance or turning to God Schol Of the mortifying or killing the old man and quickning of the new man M● What is the mortification of the olde man Schol Truely and from the hart to be sorie that by thy sinnes thou hast offended God and more and more to hate and siye from thy sinnes Mai What is the quickning of the new man Schol True reioycing in God through Christ and a forward desire to frame our life according to Gods will and to exercise all good wor●s Mai What works are good Schol Onely those which are done of a true Faith according to the Law of God and are referred onely to his glorie and not those which are deuised by our selues vpon a good intent or commandement by mens traditions Mai What is the law of God Schol The Lorde spake these wordes saying 1. I am Iehoua thy GOD which brought thee out of the land of Aegipt from the house of bondage thou shalt haue none other Gods but mée 2. Make not to thy selfe any grauen Image nor draw any likenes of those things which are either in heauen aboue or in the earth beneath or in the water vnder the earth thou shalt not fall downe before them nor worship them for I thy Lord and God strong and Iealous auenging the sinnes of the fathers vpon the children and that to the third and fourth generation of them that hate mee and shewing mercie vpon thousands in them that loue me and keepe my commandements 3.

Amen Ma Why doth Christ command vs after this maner to cal vpō God Our Father Schol That euen in the very entrance of Prayer hee may stirre vp in vs a reuerence and trust in GOD conuenient for the Children of God which ought to be the ground-worke of our Prayer to wit that God for Christes sake is become our Father and will much lesse denie vnto vs those things that we aske of him by a true Faith then our Parents denie vs earthly benefites Maist Why is that added Which art in Heauen Scholl That we should be assured that since God is in Heauen and there ruleth ouer all whatsoeuer is fit for vs hée is able to prouide and from thence wée must looke for all good things for soule and bodie Maist What is the first petition Schol Hallowed be thy Name that is I pray first of all that we may
