incorporate vnto vs. This not the shewes which cannot be deuided Not in diuidium vagam hoc doth determine Not that which is with or vnder the bread Christ is present but in the right vse these words are in the beginning This that is this very bread Is not properly no more then the cup is the new testament Else Christ should haue eaten himselfe 2 His body should be baked not by transubstantiation Transubstantiation hath no ground in scriptures There was none at the first supper for then Christes body was seene It is no otherwise heere then in Baptisme Paul calleth it bread If it should be transubstantiate there should be no signe Accidences should nourish should be without subiects Not by consubstantiation 1 Christ sate visible at the first 2 He is now in heauen If thus his body should not haue partem extra partem one part out of another Is in the due vse is to faith Thus the word is in sacramentall speeches is for signifieth Gen. 17. c. My body syneâ—d I take it my selfe with all that is mine or belonging to my person office or merits as before Which is broken for you that is which shortly shall be crucified for you Luke hath it which is giuen for you that is straight-way shall be giuen to death for you This doe in remembrance of me Where is a duty commaunded and the manner how The duty is doe this not that heere the Apostles were made Priests but that Christians are commaunded to practise this dutie 1 So as that it is not in their choise to doe it or no if they be not fit they must presently make themselues fit 2 Christians must often doe it Indeede there is no set time but the oftener the better so that due reuerence and regard be had thereof and therein 3 It must be doone alwaies according to the first institution The manner is in remembrance of Christ Christ signifieth as before in the word body and before that bread Remembrance is a word of sence and signifieth calling to mind or keeping in mind in the English The Greeke signifieth calling to mind such words as these of sence doe signifie besides actions and affections So as that heereby are wee put in minde 1 That we are by nature forgetfull of Christ and his merits and our owne duties 2 That we should know Christ 3 Loue him 4. Beleeue in him Hetherto the first part of this sacrament now followeth the other concerning the wine Where we must consider againe the element actions The element is wine the actions as before Marke first that God vseth two signes in this sacrament because he would the more strengthen our faith and seeke all in Christ So as that no man may keepe either from any communicant and euery communicant is to desire both This cup that is this wine Wine was theyr most generous drinke It is likely that it was mingled with water in those hote countries We must vse wine not mingle it with water it is not our vsuall drinke as it was theirs The thing signified is Christes blood Is that is signifieth There seemeth not to be the same manner in Paule and Matthew for the words following Paule saith this cup is the new Testament in my blood that is this wine is my blood which confirmeth and ratifieth the new testament and that it belongeth vnto you Matthew hath This is my blood of the newe Testament to the same sence So that the thing signified is the blood of Christ and by vvine 1 To teach that wee must haue some sweet feeling of Christ 2 And that it is he who cheareth our harts Now this his blood is shed and poured out for vs whereby is signified his death and merits for vs. Note by the way the leprosie of sin which could not be cured but by the blood of God Testament in effect heere is the same with couenant saue that testament or will implieth death And is nothing but Gods agreement with mankind for their saluation This to continue and be effectuall is but one And is the pleasure of God to saue men for Christes sake and according to diuers coÌ„siderations is old till Christ for the Iewes in ceremonies and to vanish New not but that it was heeretofore but was by Christ so cleerely published as it seemed new 2 Shall not decay 3 Renueth vs more and more The benefits of this Ieremy setteth out 31 chap and are the same we haue heard of before in Christ All which this wine is giuen as a seale to coÌ„firme that they belong to the due receiuer This must wee drinke as eate the former by commaundement in remembrance Matthew hath drinke yee all as if our Lord would preuent the corruption in the Church of Rome Obiect Luke maketh mention of two cups 22 17 20. How will both stand Aun The former was of the Passeouer the latter vvas onely of the Lords supper Thus much of the parts the vse followeth in the 26. which is easily vnderstood by that which went before Hetherto hath beene the doctrine of the institution now followeth that which is for the meete partaking thereof from the beginning of verse 27. to the end of the chapter In which is declared the necessitie of meete partaking the manner how The necessitie is verse 27 and is from the danger of vnmeete or vnwoorthy receiuing for none can receiue but worthily or vnworthily The danger is that the vnworthy receiuer shall be guiltie of the body and blood of the Lord. Where first wee must know what it is vnworthily to receiue then what it is to be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. Worthy or vnworthy is with comparison or respect that betweene Quantities Qualities Worth in quantitie is equalitie as a peny for a penyworth worth in quality is likenesse or comming neere This vnworthily is meant of quantity but quality Vnworthily is not contrary or beside the excellencie of the mysterie or not in euery point not according to the dutie of the receiuer For then none should receiue worthily as not beeing able to doe as they ought But vnworthily is vnmeetly or vnlikely so Math. 3. And the Ruler of the Synagogue thought himselfe not worthy that is not meete c. This vnwoorthily must be iudged according to Christes institution of this sacrament so as that if wee vse it otherwise then he appointed we should vse it it is vnworthily To be guiltie of the body and blood of Christ is to sinne against the body and blood of Christ that is against Christ himselfe and to be subiect to the punishments therefore so Math 5 21 22. Iames 2 10. The fault is most grieuous beeing against God offering vs the blood of his couenaunt Heb. 10 28 29. The wishing whereof to themselues what hath it brought but notorious and extreame misery But some may say how may this be seeing Christ his bodie is not there really Aun It is sufficient that his ordinances are abused

and those holy signes which he ordained so despighted So the reproch done to Princes pictures armes Letters Embassadours redoundeth to the Prince Wee our selues so interprete things done toward our selues None can from hence therefore gather that wicked or worldly men doe eate the body of Christ They may eate as S. Augustine saith the bread of the Lord they cannot eate the bread the Lord who to all receiuers is life Thus much for the necessity of meete partaking nowe followeth the manner how and that from the 28 verse on the which first is shortly named after is further enlarged It is shortly named verse 28 and is said to be examination The which we may consider by the properties of it by the nature and parts The properties are first the necessitie second the generalitie third integritie the speciall parties whoÌ„ it most chieflie concerneth The necessitie appeareth by therefore the commaundement so as that otherwise they ought not to partake neyther can they please God or haue comfort in theyr harts And indeede if men consider the greatnes of the mysterie search and tryall cannot be but most necessary Men must take heede that custome doe not take away care we must doe it for conscience The generalitie is in the word man which signifieth male or female old or young of any degree So that none to be admitted must be accepted nor any to be accepted not examined So is man taken Iohn 3 27. Iohn 5 7. Iohn 7 46. The reason of this generalitie is that Christianitie and the duties thereof are as well for one as other Neither is there any who hath not iust cause to try out himselfe Well therefore doth our Church appoint the names to bee sent that helpe may be had None may be without his garment The integritie or vprightnes in this tryall is implied in the word examine Which sheweth an exquisite and most diligent search as Lapidaries and Goldsmithes doe to find out true from counterfeit good from bad Where a man had need of great skill seeing the thing he seeketh is most excellent and to be deceiued is great losse Now this examination must be such as euer to search till we find our selues in good estate as they who dig for mettals like the Shunanite to Elisha so Christ commandeth to seeke But some will say what if I finde not the thinges I looke for I aunswer Presently so set your selfe to seeke as you giue not ouer till you find The things you looke for are of meere necessity to euerlasting saluation and that not onely at the Sacrament but all times before and afterward Therefore in this case must we doe as they who are sick hungry for phisicke and meate not differing and it is a manifest euill signe not to be earnest this way The persons whom this examination concerneth is euery man and party toward himselfe Not but that others who haue charge of others must endeuour as Exod. 12 26 27. Deut 6 7 Gene. 18 19. But that though they should faile yet euery party must be able willing and practising to examine themselues No man can do this but he must 1 Take some time for it 2 Remember in the dooing of it hee hath to doe with God who seeth to the ground of the hart 3 Had neede of some instruction and exercise before 4 Must doe it as at other times so specially renue the dooing heereof at euerie time of administring the Sacrament 5 That which he now endeauoureth to find he must haue for euer after Hetherto haue been the properties of examination now follow the nature and parts thereof Examination is an exercise of godlinesse whereby a man descendeth into himselfe bethinking what hee ought to haue neuer giuing ouer till he haue such graces as whereby he may partake the sacrament of the body blood of our Lord worthily This exercise is many where 's commended in scriptures 2. Cor. 13. the neglect blamed No man considereth what haue I done Looke Haggeus It calleth a man home to himselfe Psalm 4 4. Zepha 2 1. Will not let a man be more busie then needes with others Beeing bethinking it must be with deliberation The things which examination looketh for must be according to the particuler intent in examination as if I examin whether I haue thinges to make mee fit to heare the word I looke one way if to make prayers I looke another way so if for the Sacrament there is a speciall course for that likewise to be taken Now the things which examination for this Sacrament must looke after may be considered in their number qualitie and measure The number we will not stand precisely vppon foure is the smallest The first is knowledge This is the perceiuing of the meaning of truth necessarie to saluation Which must be as of truth in generall 1 That there is one God three persons 2 That man was created at the first to the image of God 3 That man fell and plunged himselfe and his posteritie into misery from whence by nothing in himselfe or others he can get out 4 That there is no way to be recouered from hence but onely by Christ according to the articles in the Creede 5 That then hee know what faith is and how that onely by that Christ is apprehended 6 That faith is neuer sufficient if it be without repeÌ„tance 7 That repentance alwaies cleaueth to Gods ordinances and commaundements So also in speciall touching the doctrine of the Sacraments and this in particuler The second is a mans owne sinnes which hath as farre as one can indeauour 1 The finding out of the number and grieuousnes 2 The acknowledging of them to God others against whom they haue been 3 The beeing truly sory for them 4 The desiring of forgiuenesse for them The best way to find out is to lay the law word of God rightly vnderstood to our harts and bethinke of our particuler practises The third is faith of saluation which is a perswasion by the holy Ghost that the doctrine of saluation by Christ belongeth vnto the partie The fourth is repentance or amendement of life which must be 1 Of the whole man 2 Alwayes 3 Profiting and going forward And hath two parts mortification viuification Mortification is keeping vnder and weakening of sin Viuification is renuing of desires and endeauours to all good things This is the number the qualitie followeth which is that there must be 1 Truth of euery of the former Which one shall iudge of if in the presence of God he can finde these things in himselfe 2 If they be working 2 Presentnesse that euen at the instant the partie can find them in himselfe 3 Refreshing that euen by this sacrament he must finde all the former quickned and renued The measure is last which is to be wished as great as may be and must not discourage if it be but little The measure of sauing graces are not in all equall The weaker our grace is the more neede haue

deede but thought and desire So teacheth Christ Math 5 28 which is likewise to be vnderstood of a woman so as if shee do likewise desire to that end she doth offend if it be beside the owne husband or owne wife So as that a bodie may be free from touch and yet not chast Peter saith there be eyes full of adultery 2 Pet 2 14. Or it is The possession of ones vessell in holinesse and honour 1 Thess 4.4 Possession is continuall so keeping as Luke 21 19 by your patience possesse your soules be constant in patience so as that if one faile but once he leeseth the credite of continuance This continuance is to be thought of for the returning of desires for desires are at one time more stirred and stronger then at an other he that can forbeare in all stirring he possesseth if he yeeld not but resist the temptation Vessell all doe not vnderstand alike some take it for the whole body and euery part not much amisse for indeede the whole body must be chast It was well said by one It skilleth not in what part one be vncleane if he be vncleane Wherefore eyes hands c must be ordered Wee might stretch it though some-what further to the soule and so the whole person of man wherein in euerie power he must be cleane But submitting that which I shall say to be iudged by other I take it by vessell is meant that which honestly cannot be named and putteth difference betweene man and woman In which sence that place 1 Sam 21 5 is to be taken the vessels of the young men were holy for he had said before Women haue beene separate from vs these two or three dayes Where hee sheweth what it is to haue the young mens vessels holy that is separate from women This place the most learned Tremelius and Iunius haue interpreted amisse taking vessels for implements necessary for their iourney So speaketh Plautus in Paenulo I doe otherwise then adulterers taken in the deede dooing I come home with my vessels safe and sound They were wont who tooke them in the deede to cut of their priuities Vessell is the instrument of generation as the Canonists speake of vnnaturall venerie extra vasa Now it is thus called to teach vs to speake thinke honestly and chastly to forbeare all ribaldry and filthy speech This vessell must be possessed in holinesse This holines is in the pure vse of it euen in the presence of God where neither the person is defiled the dutie and instrument not abused by deed word looke thought c. Besides it must be in honour which is when we so vse our selues as that neither in our selues nor before others wee neede to be ashamed Sin in this kinde causeth shame instruments of this sin are likewise shame Now then as on our vncomely parts we put on more honor 1 Cor 12 23 that is let them neuer shew their vnseemlinesse but make them as handsome as we can so must we procure all things heere This chastitie is in single or married life Single life is wheÌ„ one liueth alone without the other sex and this is in maidens or widdowes life Maiden or virgine life is before one is married Widowes life is after mariage when the husband or wife is dead Each of these is a pure forbearing of the act and motion or stirring to begetting Pure forbearing is that which is free from all pollutions Looke Ephe. 5 12. so as that we must haue continent eyes and lookes This chastitie in single life is not nor neuer can be without a speciall gift So saith Christ Math 19 11 12 Paule 1 Cor 7 37. So as that without this gift all vowes whatsoeuer are impossible in law and voide at the instant This gift is called continence is a speciall gift of God whereby one can liue without the need of other sexe to satisfie desire This gift 1 GOD onely giueth 2 it is rare all haue it not 3 it maketh vs not more acceptable to God 4 sometimes it is preferred before mariage chastitie Onely in respect of some afflictions that then were vpon the Church and for that sometimes the duties of marriage leaue not a maried partie so free from worldly cares as single life doth 5 It is not perpetuall hee that hath it may haue it taken from him afterward Chastitie in mariage life is the bed vndefiled Heb 13 4 in the lawfull vse of the maried companion Bed companie in maried parties one to other with themselues is no sinne though many corruptions creepe into it which it pleaseth God for Christ to forgiue Some cautions in this must be remembred 1 Call to mind what Moses hath Leuit 18 19 20 18. 2 To fast and pray they must forbeare 1 Cor 7 5 that is extraordinary and set solemne prayer vpon some great occasion els must they pray euery day 1 Pet 3 7. vppon extraordinarie occasion The bridegroome newly married must come out of his chamber and the bride out of her bride-chamber Ioel 2 16. 3 Parties must vse grauitie and modestie One saith a partie may commit adulterie with his or her maried companion He meaneth he may sin in want of grauity and modestie As if 1 Either partie be intemperate and vse mariage for brutish lust not for necessitie and child-procreation 2 Too much boldnes be before others This was Isaacks ouersight who though hee might doe that which hee did should not haue done it in other folkes sight Gene 26 8 therefore Gene 25 67 he tooke her into his mothers tent Marke that Sampson Iudg 15 1 would go into the chamber It is too much to vse open dalying with ones own companion too bad is the foule and filthy speech of some maried folkes speaking openly of the secrets of marriage Mariage is a lawful knitting together of one man and one woman in vndeuided societie for remedie of lust comfort of life bringing forth of children This knitting is the most neere that can be and hath full communion of all things betweene them so as that theyr bodies c are not their owne 1 Cor 7 4. Vndeuided societie is that which no cause but warrantable by the word of God can dissolue Lawful is that which is according to Gods lawes and the lawes of honestie Gods lawes require that mariage should be in the Lord. 1 Cor 7 39. That is in the Lord which is 1 betweene parties that do truly feare the Lord in pure religion It is not lawfull to marie an Idolater 2 Is in reuerence 3 Is with consent of parents that is of the necessitie not onely the honestie of marriage Parents must not be too hard or wilfull but what God will that ought they to will And this mariage must be but of one man and one onely woman Many husbands for one wife or many wiues for one husband are not allowable To haue many wiues was a sin in the Patriarches Mariage is dissolued according to the word

we of the stronger meanes Competent measure is iudged by an vpright heart to please God in the vse of this ordinance So as that no weakenesse or slippes must discourage vs. 2 No crosses 3 No tentations Thus much for the manner how meetly one is to partake now followeth the further enlarging thereof and that from repeating this danger of neglect of examination 29 30 as also from the fruite of due examination verse 31. The danger of neglect is in the punishment general 29. speciall 30. The generall punishment hath the kinde cause The kind is that he eateth Krima â—ayton That is hee so eateth as will occasion krima because the Lords holy ordinance is prophaned as before in eating vnworthily and beeing guilty of the body of Christ Kâ—â—â—a many translate damnation meaning as it seemeth eternall which though euery sinne doth deserue yet God doth not alwaies inflict neither is heere as I take it meant For that the Apostle expoundeth himselfe verse 30.32 And for that sundry thus offending were the children of God who could not be damned I take it therefore to signifie iudgement as 1 Peter 4. that is punishment or correction as is said Correct vs in thy iudgement c. in which case Hezechiah prayeth 2 Chron 30 18 19 20. So the meaning is the parties neglecting shall be subiect to punishment euen vpon the carelesnes or rechlesnesse about this sacrament and iustly this beeing an ordinance of God so full of good for vs. Now that which is true in the receiuing God punished the coÌ„tempt of circumcision is as true in the forbearing and not endeauouring to receiue worthily and indeede in sharper manner For heere seemeth to be vnderstood punishment indeede but easier there a man may iustly feare hell fire Considerations to perswade vs not to contemne this sacrament I meane for such as professe the same doctrine with vs and such as neglect when they may conueniently resort thereunto 1 First it is Gods commaundement 2 It hath likewise his promise 3 Is a speciall prop to stay our faith 4 Bringeth with it Christ and all heauenly treasures 5 Quickeneth a man to all good duties of thankfulnes to God loue to men c. 6 Was very often in the primatiue Church Considerations to make vs resort vnto it with due consideration Where first we might bewaile that it is of all so slightly regarded 1 There are many things to be done which require studie 2 The Iewes taught one another to keepe the Passeouer 3 It is a dutie of greatest consequence almost that can be for a man 4 No great thing can be well done without good case Now no iudgement is expressed because we might feare all No time named that alwaies we should feare them The cause is for that he discerneth not the Lords bodie that is that which is his body by his ordinance sacrameÌ„tally The speciall punishment followeth verse 30. Bodily diseases and death 1 Not onely these but decay in name goods friends estate c. 2 Learne when these come among other thinges to call to minde slight regard of the Lords supper 3 All are not sicke or weake that we might learne to profit one by anothers harmes 4 Neither must such as feele no outward crosses thinke that they are or shall be free The fruite which due examination bringeth followeth verse 31. and is 1 Freedome from iudgements which is set downe with the forerunning dutie of iudging our selues which is so to try out our selues that we may iudge aright that wee come dulie and if that we find we haue not so come to humble our selues and be reuenged of our selues And indeede this freedome is from all plagues as they come from God angry 2 And obtayning of all excellent things for what can a due partaker be said not to haue Quest Are not such as come worthily corrected Aun Yes but beeing without particuler conscience for some particuler fault it is no iudgement but an exercise Que. What may we thinke of those that are afflicted in this kinde by God Aun They are chastened that they should not be coÌ„demned with the world Chastising is some-what to the griefe of our nature proceeding from Gods loue to vs to make vs the better for afterward That it is the griefe of nature Looke Heb 12 11. And necessary it is that so it should be It is also moderate It is likewise with Gods loue To make vs better The vtmost end why God sendeth it is that we should not be condemned with the world The world are the vnrepentant men of the world These shall be condemned Condemnation is euerlasting punishment with the anger of God and miserie of the partie punished FINIS THE DOCTRINE OF FAITH Romans 1 16. HEtherto haue we heard of preparation to grace and saluation now followeth to consider how grace estate of saluation is wrought in a partie All which consideration is in the meanes or in the gifts of grace Meanes I call those which are appointed by GOD and blessed for the working of grace gifts the verie things wherein saluation doth consist Now the meanes it the word of grace and saluation so called Acts 13 26 as the deuill himselfe confesseth Acts 16 17 word of grace Acts 14 3 so Acts 20 32 and that because it is the ministery of the Spirit 2 Cor 3 8 that is which conueieth the holy Spirit into one and bringeth all grace This word is called by another name vsually the Gospell so Acts 20 24 the Gospell of grace word of the kingdome For the name we heard of it in the entrance to the Harmony of the Euangelists This doctrine is all that truth in the Canonicall scriptures touching saluation by Christ A summe and briefe of this doctrine is that which is coÌ„monly called the Apostles Creede So saith S. Augustine Ista verba quod audistis per diuinas scripturas sparsa sunt c. These wordes which you haue heard are strawed all ouer the scriptures but gathered together from thence least the memorie of forgetfull parties should faile that euery man may haue what to say and hold Wereuppon Marcellus in Epiphanius repeating the Creede faith he had it out of the diuine Scriptures In which sence S. Augustine calleth it the foundation of the Catholique faith S. Ambrose a key opening all the Scriptures In considering of this Creede it shall be good to know the title and the contents of it The title is The Apostles Creede Wherein is the kinde of the thing and the parties whose it is said to be The kind is that it is a Creede If we should speak to such as vnderstand Latine it might not be vnfit to speake of the Latine name Symbolum But heere it shall not need Onely I thinke that diuers learned men are deceiued who thinke that it is called symbolum of part in a shot or reckoning which diuers make vp That I take it is symbola in the feminine gender not symbolum This name
