Supper no expresse command for rhe celebration of a weekly Sabboth Answ First that woemen received the Lords Supper appeares 1. From example Act. 1.14 where the Virgin Mary and other women were gathered together and these women together with the rest of the disciples were altogether in one place and so Peter preacheth cap. 2. 1. v. 42. they continued stedfastly in the Apostles doctrine and fellowship and breaking of bread and in prayers v. 44. It s expressely said that all that believed were together 2. It appears from command 1 Cor. 11.28 Let a man examine himselfe and so let him eat the Greek word signifies a man and a woman the word is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a word of the commune ●ender as appeares 1 Tim. 2.4.5 there is one Mediatour betwixt God ●nd man and woman there is the same word used Gal 4.28 there is nei●her male nor female but ye are all one in Christ 3 It appeares from reason there is one and the same communion in baptisme and in the Supper now women were baptized Acts. 8 12. They were baptized both men and women therefore they also recived the Lords Supper Mr. M. Ib d. 2. There is no expresse command for the celebration of a weekely Sabbath Answ 1. If their be no command there is no observation due Mat. 28.20 Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you if there be no command there is no observation due 2. But the Sabbath is commanded indeterminately in the fourth commandment which commands us to observe the day of Gods rest Now being the first day of the weeke is the day of Gods rest we observe it though not in such a way as the Jewes were wont to observe their sabbath because no command can be brought to affix the rest of the Jewish sabbath on the Christian Lords day yet in such a way we from the command observe it that in it we may have communion with God in prayer and hearing and receiving the Supper meditation workes of charity c. We should desire in the bowels of Christ and bond of love passing by what hard speeches we finde in your writings not to render us odious to our godly and wise Senators and other friends by calumneyes and false reports which we hope are no wayes of your inventing but yet through too much credulity of your receiving in as much as we finde the same in sundry of your printed bookes Mr. M. ●b d. For those other exceptions as first that there is no expresse receiving of the Lawes concerning the forbidding degrees of marriage Answ Yes there is not onely a prohibition of having ones fathers wife 1 Cor. 5.1 But also of having one brothers wife Mark 6.18 Iohn told Herod it was not lawfull to have his brother Philips wife Mat. 14.3 Now these incestuous relations having no other prohibition then those other mentioned Levit. 18. The same commandment that forbids the one doth also forbid the other Mr. M. ●b d. So when it s alledged there is no expresse command against Poligamy in the new Testament the contrary appeares Mat. 29.5 They twain shall be one flesh 1 Cor. 7.39 If her husband be dead she is at liberty to marry to whom she will onely in the Lord she is free to marry to another but not till her husband be dead Rom. 7.3.4 If while her husband liveth she be married to another man she shall be called an adultresse 1 Tim. 3.12 The deacon must be the husband of one wife by which is condemned the taking of more wives at once not second marriages Mr. M. Ib. So it s alledged that there is no command nor example that the children of those that are beleevers should be baptized when they are growne men Answ It s true if they be onely growne men there is no command nor nor example to baptize them but if they beleeve there is Mark 16.16 Whosoever beleeveth and is baptized c. also Mat. 28.19 all are to bee baptized that are made disciples if the children of unbeleevers are to be baptized when they are growne up and are beleevers then surely the beleeving children of beleevers cannot be excluded Object 23. The denying infants baptisme is contrary to the practise of all the Churches and casts an aspertion upon them Answ 1 I have heard otherwise that there are Churches in Transilvania and Holland that so practise 2 We finde the History of the Acts of the Apostles and the first 300. yeers well nigh if not altogether cleere for us as hath been shewed before 3 All the Churches erred for many 100. yeers since the times of the Antichristian apostacie not onely in smaller matters as about Church orderer but in point of the masse justification by works transubstantiation judge of the faith c. In receiving infants to the Lords Supper for 600. yeers together as was showen before Apoc. 13.3 and all the world wondred after the beast 4 They have I supposed erred I meane the Protestant consisting of Lutheran and Calvinian Churches in the particulars since the reformation which I should be loth to risse but that onely the matter comes in competition with Gods glory 1 In retaining the baptisme which they had from the hands of Popish priests in the time of the deep abomination which they could never retain without acknowledging the Romish Church to be a true Church and their priesthood to be true and their ministers to be the ministers of Jesus Christ 2 They erred in that the elders of the Churches received all sorts of persons to baptisme upon a supposed covenant holinesse derived from the parents which were Idolaters in the grossest Idolatry for many a hundred yeers 3. In that elders members and the whole Church as they are called did agree that the Church should be divided by parishes making cohabitation or dwelling together in such a parish a sufficient inrightment to Church priviledges till the other day almost the independent Churches though improperly so called began to espie out this abomination 4 They have all erred in a wrong matter in that they have taken the whole profane world that lyes in wickednesse into them and made wicked men that are strangers from God hereby to dreame of a communion with him and them till the other day this abomination began to be discovered 5 They have erred in the continuation of Episcopacy for so many 100 yeers though in some places the name is now changed into Superintendency 6 I will speake little of the mutuall invectives of the Lutherans against the Calvinists and of these against the Lutherans even in the publike assemblies yet could I never read of any of the ministers censured for this great violation of charity nor of the power of compulsion which hath been given to the civill magistrate over consciences whereby the weaker party have been compelled to see with the stronger parties eyes and to subscribe to their conclusions the promises whereof they never
