A Practical Catechisme Of purpose framed for the help of such as desire to enjoy more sweet and intimate Soul-communion with Jesus Christ in that sacred Ordinance of his own Supper Begun at Newport-Pagnel in Buckinghamshire revived at Luton in Bedfordshire and now perfected at Queen Hithe in London By Samuel Austin an unworthy Minister of the Gospell of Jesus Christ 1 Cor. 10.16 17. The cup of blessing which we bless is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ the bread which we break is it not the Communion of the body of Christ For we being many are one bread and one body for we are all partakers of that one bread 1 Cor. 12.13 For by one Spirit we are all baptized into one body whether we be Iews or Gentiles whether we be bond or free and have been made to drink into one Spirit 1 Ioh. 1.3 4. That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you that ye also may have fellowship with us and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Iesus Christ And these things write we unto you that your joy may be full London Printed for Tho. Vnderhill at the sign of the Bible in Woodstreet 1647. THE EPISTLE DEDICATORY To my dearely beloved friends the Church and faithfull People of God which are at Newport-Pagnell in Buckinghamshire at Luton in Bedfordshire and at Michael Queen Hithe in London * 2 Pet. 1.2 Grace and Peace be multiplyed unto you through the knowledge of God and of Iesus our Lord. Dearely beloved IT is not unknown to some if not to the most of you that this sacred Ordinance of the Lords supper is superstitiously and prophanely abused by many who are extreamly zealous to have their part in the outside visible elements of this Ordinance * As Popish spirits who content themselves with the opus operatum or work done but never care for the invisible grace or spirit of Christ in the Ordinance Others there are that do 〈◊〉 much slight and despise both the elements and the grace of it that they seldom or never care for the participation of it unless formally and for fashion sake Others that not only neglect it themselves but hinder such from it as much desire the renovation of their Covenant and sweet Soul-communion with Christ in the due participation of it And some there are also sprung up of late I hear which to me appear in a more strange visage then the rest who deny this and other Ordinances of Christ in the New Testament to be now had in use at all amongst Gods people they holding this as a principle That this and all other Ordinances are now lost and dead with Christ and his Apostles which sad opinion I must confess I cannot look upon as a notion of any new light as some may please to esteem of it but rather to bewaile it as a strange and dangerous fancie without and against the word of truth * Mat. 28.19 20. 1 Cor. 11.23 c. 25 26. or as an ignis fatuus a fond light that will lead those that follow it if God in mercy prevent not into utter darkness To administer some means of cure to these sad distempers if God shall please to glorifie himself by so weak an instrument I have taken this opportunity to send out these few Catacheticall thoughts of mine upon this Ordinance of the Lords supper wherein I have endeavoured to clear to you and others so far as a work of this nature would bear these four particulars 1. The divine authority of this Ordinance 2. The nature of it 3. The ends of it wherein the perpetuity of it is implyed 4. The requisites or things required for the prevention of the abuse and the better help of my self and others to the sweet and comfortable participation of it All which dearely beloved in the Lord I have thought good to present respectively unto your selves as the fittest objects I could make choyce of to dedicate this work unto and that for diverse reasons as these in special 1. Because it was conceived and brought forth amongst you as being a part of my poor ministeriall pains while divine providence did call me to labour with you and therefore you have the more right unto it A poor childe by Law must be kept where it was born I leave it therefore to your tender care hoping you will nourish it as your own 2. It was at first intended for your spirituall good and therefore I do now the more boldly bequeath it to you 3. These labours of mine in a way of Catechizing have been sometimes profitable to some yea I may say with thankfulness to God by the acknowledgment of others to many of you * As at Newport especially before our late troubles where I bestowed many years pains in this exercise I desire by this means they may prove so unto you all 4. Divine providence hath called me off from some of you and I know not how soon I may be called from others where I now am to a country and people that have more need of the ministery at least more sence of their needs then many now in London have Where I may be more serviceable to God then in that slender Congregation which I now attend And therefore I desired to leave this amongst you as a perpetuall pledge and memoriall of my most dear love unto your souls and of my most earnest desires to help you on in your more sweet and intimate Communion with Jesus Christ in this and other of his Ordinances of grace here till hee shall call you home into full Communion with himself in his everlasting glory 5. The time will come how soon I know not that you all as well as my self must give up your accounts * Rom. 14.10.12 2 Cor. 5.10 of your Stewardships to Jesus Christ and what holy use you have made of this and other Ordinances of grace I thought it meet therefore to leave this with you both to put you in remembrance * As 2 Pet. 1.12 13 14 15. of your duty and to help you in it that so you may give up your accounts with joy and not with grief 6. There are some reasons in respect of the times 1. You know the times are full of loosnes prophaness by this I desire to press you to more holy strictness Eph. 4.17 20. 5.15.16 Heb. 12.14 2. The times are full of unchristian bitterness divisions c. By this I desire that you may endeavour the more to make up breaches and to preserve Christian Vnity and Vnanimity amongst your selves * Remember Phil. 2.1 2. Which hath been sometimes opened applyed unto you Phil. 2.1 2. Eph. 4. v. 3. 3. The times are full of slighting and neglecting this and other divine Ordinances the means and ministery of grace which are sadly withdrawn from some of you † As Newport and Luton I desire you by this
