A10898	A treatise of the two sacraments of the Gospell: baptisme and the Supper of the Lord Divided into two parts. The first treating of the doctrine and nature of the sacraments in generall, and of these two in speciall; together with the circumstances attending them. The second containing the manner of our due preparation to the receiving of the Supper of the Lord; as also, of our behaviour in and after the same. Whereunto is annexed an appendix, shewing; first, how a Christian may finde his preparation to the Supper sweete and easie: secondly, the causes why the sacrament is so unworthily received by the worst; and so fruitefly by the better sort: with the remedies to avoyd them both. By D.R. B. of Divin. minister of the Gospell.	D. R. (Daniel Rogers), 1573-1652.	1633 (1633)	STC 21169; ESTC S112046	376,405	453

give_v by_o god_n to_o attend_v each_o ordinance_n both_o the_o word_n of_o promise_n and_o the_o seal_n of_o promise_n and_o that_o to_o this_o end_n to_o work_v persuasion_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o to_o cause_v it_o to_o believe_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v give_v she_o of_o god_n then_o second_o note_n the_o object_n of_o this_o persuasion_n by_o the_o promise_n be_v double_a and_o therefore_o the_o object_n of_o persuasion_n by_o the_o seal_n be_v double_a first_o persuasion_n of_o the_o soul_n that_o she_o be_v true_o the_o lord_n true_o call_v regenerate_v and_o bear_v of_o god_n that_o be_v to_o say_v reconcile_v to_o he_o and_o renew_v in_o he_o second_o persuasion_n that_o she_o grow_v in_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o new_a birth_n and_o shall_v grow_v as_o a_o lively_a member_n of_o her_o head_n till_o she_o receive_v the_o fullness_n of_o that_o part_n that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o both_o persuasion_n appear_v by_o the_o two_o main_a head_n of_o unbelief_n which_o former_o i_o note_v to_o reside_v in_o the_o soul_n first_o that_o she_o dare_v not_o believe_v at_o all_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o mercy_n reach_v to_o she_o second_o that_o she_o dare_v not_o believe_v that_o she_o shall_v ever_o reach_v to_o any_o further_a degree_n of_o sanctification_n than_o she_o present_o feel_v both_o these_o the_o lord_n in_o his_o double_a persuasion_n confute_v the_o three_o thing_n be_v the_o spirit_n therefore_o apply_v itself_o to_o both_o these_o yet_o not_o always_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o measure_n of_o persuade_v but_o according_a to_o the_o need_n or_o proportion_n of_o each_o part_n by_o the_o promise_n of_o the_o word_n sometime_o it_o work_v more_o sometime_o less_o persuasion_n as_o seem_v best_a to_o himself_o and_o so_o by_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o sacrament_n he_o do_v likewise_o work_v weak_a or_o strong_a assurance_n for_o though_o there_o be_v a_o persuade_a power_n in_o a_o high_a degree_n in_o both_o yet_o the_o spirit_n be_v no_o servant_n to_o his_o ordinance_n but_o his_o ordinance_n to_o he_o they_o shall_v persuade_v more_o or_o less_o according_a as_o that_o power_n of_o christ_n which_o the_o spirit_n dispense_v be_v more_o or_o less_o conveied_a into_o the_o soul_n by_o his_o persuasion_n he_o be_v never_o separate_v from_o promise_n or_o seal_n according_a to_o the_o measure_n of_o his_o work_n by_o both_o but_o that_o be_v as_o he_o list_v for_o he_o blow_v where_o and_o how_o far_o he_o please_v four_o note_n the_o chief_a and_o main_a persuasion_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o word_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o seal_a promise_n and_o the_o chief_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o persuasion_n in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o spirit_n of_o the_o seal_a sacrament_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o seal_n with_o the_o promise_n be_v above_o a_o promise_n alone_o so_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o seal_n with_o the_o sacrament_n be_v above_o the_o sacrament_n alone_o and_o consequent_o the_o seal_a power_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v above_o the_o seal_v power_n of_o a_o promise_n the_o sacrament_n be_v ordinary_o the_o instrument_n of_o work_v the_o soul_n to_o the_o high_a assurance_n which_o it_o can_v enjoy_v in_o this_o world_n whether_o of_o the_o truth_n of_o her_o regeneration_n which_o baptism_n or_o the_o growth_n therein_o which_o the_o supper_n seal_v

of_o grace_n needs_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o lesser_a must_v be_v where_o the_o great_a must_v be_v i_o mean_v that_o knowledge_n there_o must_v be_v of_o all_o these_o where_o faith_n must_v be_v to_o give_v a_o man_n his_o special_a portion_n in_o they_o howbeit_o because_o now_o we_o be_v about_o the_o trial_n of_o knowledge_n apart_o from_o the_o other_o and_o doubtless_o many_o
