because the Scripture no where denies it and reason it self speaks the use of it to be verbum visibile it setting forth Christ and his Passion to our eyes as the Word preached doth to our eares and we have alwayes been taught that the Fye is the aptest Scholar If it be not a Preaching action now it is because we have it not to see else to what purpose did our Saviour command us to use it in remembrance of him That all should receive the Sacrament of the Supper because all have been Baptized is an argument framed onely by the Confuters thereof for none that I know who plead for a free admission but make some exception from this general rule as infants fools and excommunicate persons for that all have a right to eat is an argument never maintein'd the onely question being who have this right and who have not That Infidels Ideots and Children have not all agree for reasons too plain to be questioned That scandalous persons have no right we denie not neither onely say they are not to be accounted so till excommunicated Nor can that man be lawfully accounted guilty in the sence of the Law till proofs have convicted and sentence determined him to be so For to denie a man the priviledges his birth allowes him till the Law determine that he hath forfeited them is an injustice and no command of Christ or Scripture Sure I am the Master in the Parable reproved not his servant for admitting him without the wedding garment it was their part to invite all and if any would presume to come unfitted it lay upon himself to bear the sentence of their Lord the Apostle telling us as it is a dutie upon every one to examine himself so he comes upon his own peril to eat and drink his own damnation And because he that eats and drinks unworthily eats and drinks his own damnation yet it followeth not that the Sacrament should be denied them For who knows not that though a man have been loose and careless in his conversation yet God may work a change in him in an instant even in the very act of Administration And certainly no meanes ought to be denied any man that may conduce to if happily not produce that good end for which all the Ordinances of the Gospel are ordained But I forget I intended a Letter not a Dispute since without controversie I am Sir your Friend and Servant T. F. To Mr. S. S. Sir I Am not at all infected with that itch of Disputation how contrary it is to my more peaceable temper all that know me can witnesse But having routed the main body of your arguments I shall now scatter your reserve It is said the Church of Ephesus is commended for trying and judging of men But it is clear by the next words that this trial was of their doctrine not of their lives and that they were found false Apostles Neither can this if it were as is pretended authorize a particular Minister to that which may be lawful to the Church it being too tender a thing to be trusted with one man alone to determine for what inconveniences would thence follow may easily be imagined The Priests indeed as you say were commanded to make a separation between the clean and the unclean but it was of beasts for the sacrifices as the Texts express themselves And St. Peter saith God had shewn him that he should not call any man common and unclean And St. Paul tells the Corinthians that he had no power to judge them without That Christ gave the Supper onely to his Apostles is plain but it is as plain that one of them was a Judas and what select company was ever in this world wherein was not some close hypocrite and no Devil to the white Devil I have done with your arguments and shall now sound a retreat to my self and resolve to draw my pen no more in this quarrel For I know not whether this kind of duelling be not forbidden by the late Act if it be not I wish it were for I love not to contend with my friends with any other weapons than love and service When you conquer me at those weapons I must forget your merit or that I am Sir your friend and servant T. F. To Mr. T. F. Sir HAving lately not without pleasure and profit read your Church-History by which you have not only indebted our Church in particular but the whole Common-wealth of Learning in general my memory continually upbraided me with ingratitude till I found out this way to convey my resentments For though our Returns of thanks ought to be large and universal as your merit yet your goodness I hope will not refuse the single gratitude of private persons In that number though the last and the least I am bold to tender my mite A task indeed better befitting a more equal pen since none is able to do it but your own But I know your modesty is as great as your merit the highest worths being always accompanied with the lowest humiltie May your name ever live who have rais'd so many to life and rescued their memories from the tyranny of oblivion Amongst many others I am particularly obliged to your courtesie in the remembrance of that good man Mr. Udal whom by kindred I am something related One of whom we have this tradition that he was the first man King James asked for when he came into England and being answered that he was dead the King whose judgment was an exact standard of learning learned men reply'd By my sal then the greatest Scholar in Europe's dead And certainly by his own party if they may be admitted for competent Judges it is not yet resolv'd whether his Learning or his Zeal were greatest and they think they justly boast him a Confessor if not a Martyr for that Cause which since hath paid those scores with Interest Now though I am no heir to his opinions yet a small affinity to his Person makes me embrace the opportunitie of proffering you that Intelligence you complain to want the rather because perhaps no man can now do it but my self and I have a Relation of all his Trials Censures and Sentence written by himself which I doubt not may give you a satisfactorie account in what you desire If you please to command it I shall be ambitious to serve you and the truth therewith But I could wish you would review that passage in the 31 Sect. After the Execution of Udal c. for he died at the White Lyon just as his pardon was procured and was buried at St. Georges Southwark And so I leave him to his Rest wishing his good name and doctrines may survive his discipline Sir you have not onely engaged Learning but Religion to perpetuate your labours Fame is much in arrears to your Desert and therefore cannot in justice but continue that veneration in length to your memorie which it yet wants in
