Cor. 11.23 Bread it is before consecration y Ib. v. 24. bread at the time of Consecration and z Ib. v. 26 27 28. bread after Consecration but it is a Ib. v. 24 25. 29. the body and blood of Christ only after Consecration Q. After what manner doe wee receive the Body of Christ in this Sacrament A. By faith as the food is Spirituall so is the manner spirituall Q. What are the benefits whereof we are partakers thereby A. b Intelligo substantiâ corporis pasci animas nostras ut verè unum efficiamur cum eo Calvin in 1. Cor. 11.24 The strengthning and refreshing of our Soules by the body and blood of Christ as our bodies are by the Bread Wine We are sensible of the one let us beleeve the other For as veryly as our faint and hungry Bodies are strengthened and refreshed and comforted with bread and wine so verily is every penitent and faithfull Soule strengthened and refreshed and comforted with the body and blood of Christ Q. What is required of them which come to the Lords Supper A. To examine themselves whether they repent them truly of their former sinnes stedfastly purposing to lead a new life to have a lively faith in Gods mercy through Christ with a thankfull remembrance of his death and be in charity with all men Q. This for the inward preparation what for the outward reverence A. All outward and inward reverence is little enough when we come to receive the price of Heaven and Earth By some therefore it is called a dreadfull mystery because he that rightly considers of it will not approch to this Table without dread and trembling Q. Why so A. Because there we receive this holy Sacrament either to our salvation or damnation c 1. Cor. 11.29 If unworthily we eate and drinke damnation to our selves Whereas d Ib. v. 32. if we would judge our selves we could not but see our owne unworthinesse and then we would certainly endeavour to humble our selves as we ought both before and at our approch Thus if we doe we shall not be judged unworthy of the Lord but receive it to the comfort and salvation of our soules Q. Is not inward reverence sufficient A. He that hath commanded us at all times to e 1. Cor. 6.20 glorifie God in our bodies and in our spirits will have us more efpecially at this time to glorifie him in both Where both may be had he will have both The Church our Mother conceives kneeling not only decent but necessary at this time shee therefore hath made this Injunction that f Rubricke immediatly before the delivering The Minister shall deliver the Communion in both kinds to the PEOPLE KNEELING The people therefore are to kneele Q. Is this agreeable to the usage of the ancient Church A. It is so for S. Austine tells us that g Nemo illam carnem manducat nisi prius adoraverit Aug. in Ps 98. in his time no man received but first he kneeled And Chemnicius a learned Protestant speaking of due reverence to be used at this time professeth that h Chemnic Exam. Concii Trid. part 2. c. 5. we ought to kneele adding that externall irreverence in this action is the token of a prophane mind Q. Some abstain for feare of Idolatry A. I see not how there can be any such danger We worship not bread but the God of Heaven neither worship we God by the Bread but by or with that blessed Bread and Wine we receive the body and bloud of Christ i The vvords at the delivering which preserve us body and soul to eternall life And can any man be too good to receive such a blessing upon his knees Besides we acknowledge that Christ is present at this his supper after a more speciall and peculiar manner then at other times k Si haec verè ex animo credimus fieri nec potest nec debet quin fider Christum in illa actione praesentem veneretur adoret Chemnic Ib. If this we beleeve truly and sincerely it cannot it may not be but faith will reverence and adore our Saviour present in this action Q. Is there then no danger in kneeling A. Certainly none The danger is in not kneeling for I have learned of Chemnicius that there is no true faith in that Communicant l Non vera suisset fides si non secuta fuis set invocatio scu adoratio lb. where adoration is wanting And Saint Ambrose and Saint Austine are resolute that m Ambros Aug. in Psal 98. it is so farre from being a sinne to kneele at receiving this Sacrament that it is a sinne not to kneele Q. We have done with the ordinary course of Cathechising and yet there remaine two points of n Heb. 6.1 Hicrespexit ad usitatam Catechismi formulam Calvin in Heb. 6.1 Saint Pauls Care chisme namely 1. Repentance from dead workes and 2. Imposition or laying on of hands That we may orderly proceede in these tell me first what these dead workes are A. Dead workes are such as by the Catechists of those times were done before they beleeved in Christ Which being done without faith and the least relation to Gods glory tended to death Since o Heb. 11.6 without faith it is impossible to please God and without pleasing God no life * Aug. de Fide Oper. c. 20. These workes then are to be repented of by the Elder sort before they repaire to Baptisme Q. What is Repentance A. It is an hearty sorrow for our sinnes past accompanied with a change of mind from evill to good with a resolution by Gods grace to continue in good courses If thus we p S. Mat. 4 17. repent the Kingdome of heaven is at hand Q. What meane you by Imposition of hands A. It is a signe or Ceremony by which and Prayer God conveyes his holy Spirit upon those that heretofore were baptized Q. Have not Persons baptized the Holy Ghost before Confirmation A. Yes but not in that measure nor for the same end Q. In what measure and for what end is the Holy Ghost bestowed upon us in Baptisme A. To wash and cleanse us from sinne from all sinne that is in us that so we may be cleane and pure as Adam was when he came first out of Gods fingers and that we may be the members of Christ Q. Why is he given us in Confirmation A. That q Rubrick● before the Catechism we may receive strength and defence against all temptations to sinne and against the assaults of the world and the Divell At Baptisme we promised not to follow any of these nor to be led by them and in Confirmation God strengthens us by
