Acts 13.2 3. Jonah 3.5 Exod. 15.1 Jer. 30.18 19. John 10.22 Rev. 15.3 4. SECT XII Q. WHat is the Catholick-Church A.

Nay Acts 8.36 37. Q. Wherein doth the Communion of the Faithful consist A. Inwardly in the Gifts and Graces of God and the Communion of the holy Spirit and outwardly in the profession of the same Faith and jointly worshiping God together and practising Christ's Institutions particularly these of Baptisme and the Supper also in mutual acts of Piety and Charity Philem. 5.6 7.

Yea Acts 2.39 Gal. 4.28 Gen. 17.7 1 Cor. 7.14 Q. How doth it appear that Baptisme with Water is an Institution and Ordinance of Christ A. From his Command to the Apostles Matth. 28.19 Go therefore and teach all Nations Baptising them in the Name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Ghost and the general practise of it in the Apostles days Q. But some say it was not outward Baptisme with Water that is there commanded but the inward Baptisme with the Spirit A. That is a great error they might as well say it was not outward teaching with audible words that was there commanded but inward teaching by the Spirit we find not any where in Scripture a command or power given to Men to Baptise with the Spirit that power only belonging to God and to Christ but we find a promise given by God that Christ should Baptise with the Holy Ghost as was accordingly fulfilled John 1.33 Q. What is the chief end and use of Baptisme with Water A. It is a Seal of Gods receiving us into the Covenant of Grace a badge or token of our Christian Profession a means of Grace a sign of our washing from sin and the forgiveness of our sins and of our regeneration and translation from being Aliens and Strangers to be Members of Christ and of his Church therefore it is that Baptisme by a figure of the sign receiving the name of the thing signified is called regeneration Titus 3.5 Q. Seeing Baptisme is a Seal of the Covenant of Grace are not all baptised Persons solemnly engaged by their Baptisme to deny themselves and take up their Cross daily and follow Christ by obeying his most holy Commands and walking after his most holy example renouncing the World the Flesh and the Devil giving up and resigning themselves wholly to follow Christ the Captain of our salvation and manfully to fight the good fight under his Banner A. Yea Matth. 16.24 Heb. 5.9 1 Pet. 2.21 1 Tim. ● 12. Q. What proof is there in Scripture for the practise of the Supper by the outward Elements of Bread and Wine with Prayer and Thanksgiving A. The Command of Christ Matth. 26.26 27 28. and practise of Believers in obedience to that Command Q. But some say Christ did Command it but until he should come again and now that they witness him come the substance and thing signified they need not the sign or shadow A. That is also a great error in them to expound it only of his inward coming The Bread and the Wine in the Supper were real signs of his Body outwardly broken and his Blood outwardly shed and did respect the Man Christ who is not come again since he ascended Q. What is the chief end and use of the Supper A. It is another Seal of the Covenant of Grace a sign of our being spiritually nourished by Christ as by Meat and Drink that we eat his Flesh and drink his Blood by Faith that so we may receive of his Spirit still more to quicken refresh and nourish us a memorial of his Death and Suffering a Pledge of his Love a means of Grace and of preserving the Doctrine and Faith of him in the World also a testimony and sgnification of our Communion with the Faithful 1 Cor. 11.25 26. 1 Cor. 10.16 17.
