A89160 A confvtation of the new Presbyterian error. Shewing not onely how neere our late Presbyterians come to the Anabaptists, in restrayning the Supper of the Lord from the people, by way of examination, as they doe children from the sacrament of baptisme, by way of confession; but also how they agree with Papists in auricular confession: and that their practise is sacriligious, new, usurped, and tyrannicall. By Alexander Mingzeis, minister of Gods word. Mingzeis, Alexander. 1648 (1648) Wing M2191; Thomason E1181_10 8,429 23

a_o confutation_n of_o the_o new_a presbyterian_a error_n show_v not_o only_a how_o near_o our_o late_a presbyterian_o come_v to_o the_o anabaptist_n in_o restrain_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n from_o the_o people_n by_o way_n of_o examination_n as_o they_o do_v child_n from_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n by_o way_n of_o confession_n but_o also_o how_o they_o agree_v with_o papist_n in_o auricular_a confession_n and_o that_o their_o practice_n be_v sacrilegious_a new_a usurp_a and_o tyrannical_a by_o alexander_n mingzeis_n minister_n of_o god_n word_n every_o plant_n that_o my_o heavenly_a father_n have_v not_o plant_v shall_v be_v root_v up_o matth._n 15.3_o print_a in_o the_o year_n 1648._o a_o confutation_n of_o the_o new_a presbyterian_a error_n draw_v not_o only_o from_o the_o unwarrantableness_n it_o have_v in_o scripture_n but_o also_o from_o the_o inconvenience_n thence_o arise_v for_o the_o better_a clear_n whereof_o arise_v a_o threefold_a question_n the_o first_o be_v to_o know_v what_o right_a christian_n have_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n second_o what_o christian_n be_v to_o be_v admit_v and_o who_o not_o three_o what_o power_n the_o minister_n have_v to_o withhold_v the_o communion_n from_o the_o people_n first_o therefore_o for_o the_o people_n right_a to_o that_o bless_a sacrament_n i_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v equal_a with_o the_o right_n or_o interest_n the_o child_n of_o christian_a parent_n have_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n which_o i_o prove_v by_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n to_o the_o corinthian_n 1._o cor._n 7.14_o where_o he_o have_v these_o word_n the_o unbelieved_a husband_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o wife_n and_o the_o unbelieved_a wife_n be_v sanctify_v by_o the_o husband_n else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o be_v they_o holy_a say_v the_o apostle_n from_o whence_o our_o late_a presbyterian_o must_v either_o with_o the_o anabaptist_n grant_v that_o the_o child_n of_o christian_a parent_n have_v right_a to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n without_o confession_n of_o faith_n or_o else_o grant_v that_o christian_n that_o be_v bear_v within_o the_o covenant_n pale_a of_o the_o church_n have_v right_a to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n without_o their_o rigid_a and_o strict_a examination_n for_o as_o our_o church_n admit_v the_o foresay_a infant_n to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n by_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o faith_n of_o their_o parent_n so_o i_o conceive_v our_o church_n can_v withhold_v any_o from_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v bear_v within_o the_o covenant_n the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n and_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o it_o but_o to_o this_o will_v be_v object_v first_o that_o by_o the_o place_n aforenamed_a be_v mean_v the_o legitimation_n of_o child_n bear_v in_o lawful_a wedlock_n and_o not_o that_o child_n have_v right_a to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n much_o less_o ignorant_a and_o scandalous_a people_n to_o the_o partake_n of_o the_o holy_a communion_n second_o that_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o examination_n be_v to_o be_v require_v in_o the_o worthy_a receiver_n before_o his_o come_n to_o the_o participation_n of_o that_o bless_a sacrament_n notwithstanding_o he_o b●_n bear_v within_o the_o covenant_n and_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o christian_a parent_n to_o the_o former_a objection_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o apostle_n conclusion_n be_v not_o only_o to_o resolve_v the_o lawful_a cohabitation_n of_o a_o believer_n with_o a_o infidel_n but_o also_o that_o their_o child_n so_o beget_v in_o lawful_a wedlock_n be_v interest_v to_o the_o outward_a ordinance_n and_o privilege_n of_o the_o church_n else_o he_o will_v not_o have_v add_v else_o be_v your_o child_n unclean_a but_o now_o they_o be_v holy_a which_o to_o be_v so_o i_o prove_v by_o another_o express_a place_n and_o warrant_v of_o scripture_n as_o when_o god_n command_v abraham_n gen._n 17.12_o not_o only_o to_o circumcise_v himself_o and_o his_o seed_n but_o also_o the_o strange_a that_o be_v bear_v in_o his_o house_n or_o buy_v with_o money_n all_o which_o circumcise_a offspring_n have_v as_o free_a access_n to_o the_o external_a worship_n and_o service_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n as_o abraham_n own_o posterity_n i_o reason_n from_o hence_o that_o if_o those_o within_o the_o covenant_n under_o circumcision_n have_v right_o to_o the_o outward_a privilege_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n then_o much_o more_o have_v we_o to_o the_o ordinance_n of_o the_o gospel_n by_o reason_n circumcision_n be_v not_o only_o a_o type_n of_o baptism_n but_o also_o because_o we_o be_v call_v to_o a_o great_a liberty_n christ_n yoke_n be_v easy_a and_o his_o burden_n light_n matt._n 11.30_o to_o the_o second_o objection_n i_o answer_v that_o albeit_o confession_n of_o faith_n and_o examination_n be_v to_o be_v require_v ●n_o a_o worthy_a receiver_n before_o he_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o participation_n of_o those_o divine_a mystery_n yet_o be_v it_o not_o always_o such_o a_o confession_n as_o our_o adversary_n dream_v of_o nor_o have_v the_o church_n any_o such_o power_n to_o examine_v as_o they_o pretend_v much_o less_o to_o keep_v the_o communion_n from_o the_o people_n upon_o pretence_n of_o that_o examination_n and_o confession_n for_o first_o for_o confession_n philip_n hold_v it_o enough_o in_o the_o eunuch_n to_o believe_v jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n beside_o that_o all_o which_o be_v bear_v within_o the_o pale_a of_o the_o church_n be_v interest_v as_o before_o but_o to_o this_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o the_o devil_n may_v go_v thus_o far_o therefore_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v the_o devil_n may_v believe_v in_o general_a but_o they_o can_v apply_v any_o thing_n in_o particular_a to_o themselves_o now_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n advise_v we_o to_o judge_v charitable_o of_o all_o man_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n as_o for_o examination_n the_o apostle_n will_v a_o man_n to_o examine_v himself_o 1._o cor._n 11.28_o and_o not_o to_o be_v examine_v by_o the_o elder_n or_o presbytery_n therefore_o etc._n etc._n but_o to_o this_o it_o will_v be_v object_v that_o our_o people_n be_v not_o so_o able_a to_o examine_v themselves_o as_o the_o corinthian_n be_v etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v that_o appear_v for_o some_o of_o they_o be_v drink_v and_o some_o sober_a when_o they_o come_v to_o be_v break_v of_o bread_n and_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o i_o never_o see_v any_o drunken_a man_n yet_o in_o england_n admit_v to_o the_o partake_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n wherefore_o here_o come_v in_o in_o the_o second_o place_n to_o know_v who_o be_v worthy_a to_o receive_v and_o who_o not_o or_o who_o be_v to_o be_v admit_v and_o who_o not_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v all_o that_o be_v interest_v as_o before_o that_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o it_o and_o be_v able_a to_o examine_v themselves_o now_o in_o examination_n there_o be_v only_o require_v these_o two_o thing_n viz._n first_o to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o we_o and_o whether_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n in_o that_o bless_a sacrament_n first_o therefore_o we_o must_v examine_v whether_o we_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n and_o consequent_o we_o in_o christ_n and_o christ_n in_o we_o according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 2._o cor._n 13.5_o examine_v your_o own_o self_n whether_o you_o be_v in_o the_o faith_n prove_v your_o own_o self_n know_v you_o not_o your_o own_o self_n how_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v in_o you_o except_o you_o be_v reprobate_n so_o that_o all_o but_o reprobate_n may_v know_v themselves_o to_o be_v ingraft_v into_o christ_n by_o a_o true_a save_a faith_n and_o christ_n into_o they_o that_o they_o have_v put_v on_o christ_n and_o can_v put_v he_o off_o again_o that_o they_o be_v baptize_v into_o christ_n and_o with_o he_o bury_v by_o baptism_n into_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o death_n to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v rise_v with_o he_o unto_o the_o newness_n of_o life_n they_o carry_v christ_n along_o with_o they_o in_o the_o participation_n of_o that_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o therefore_o can_v choose_v but_o find_v he_o there_o the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v requisite_a to_o examine_v ourselves_o in_o be_v to_o know_v whether_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n in_o that_o bless_a sacrament_n lest_o in_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o we_o eat_v and_o drink_v our_o own_o damnation_n now_o to_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n in_o that_o bless_a sacrament_n be_v by_o faith_n to_o see_v christ_n set_v forth_o before_o we_o in_o those_o bless_a element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o he_o crucify_v which_o call_v our_o sin_n to_o remembrance_n and_o ourselves_o crucify_v with_o christ_n to_o they_o through_o
