of Christ the sonne when to the greater comfort of the godly their Saviour shall bee their Iudge and to the wickeds greater terrour he whom they have crucified shall sit upon them Mnason How doe you sence the eighth Article I beleeve in the holy Ghost Apollos That there is an holy Spirit which is a distinct person from the father and the sonne and yet equall to cōsubstantiall with and proceeding from both whose offices are 1 Illumination or knowledge 2 Regeneration or sanctification 3 to unite and joyne us to Christ our head 4 to guide and governe us in the right way to eternitie 5 to comfort our hearts in both inward tentations and outward crosses and 6 lastly to seale us unto the day of redemption Mnason How much is contained in the ninth article I beleeve the holy Catholique Church the communion of Saints Apollos Foure particulars 1. that there is a Church to wit a congregation of men and women elected before time and called in time by the word and Spirit out of the whole masse of mankind to bee a chosen generation unto God 2 that this Church is holy both in regard of 1 Persons 2 meanes 3 time and 4 place of Gods worship 3. that it is Catholique that is not circumscribed or limited but universall in regard of 1 doctrine 2 members 3 time and 4 place 4. that in this holy Catholique Church there is a Societie and communion of Saints which have not onely union with Christ but also Communion one 〈◊〉 another Mnason Recite now the tenth article and then explaine it Apollos I beleeve the remission of sinnes that is I beleeve that every transgression of the law whereof I am guiltie since I had a being is not onely pardonable but after faith and repentance pardoned unto mee and further that though none but God can properly and of himselfe forgive my sinnes yet a lawfull minister who hath gifts from God and calling from men may both declare it to the peace of my Conscience and also bee Gods instrument to conveigh the same unto mee Mnason What importeth the eleventh Article wherein wee professe the resurrection of the body Apollos It importeth 3 things 1 that there shall bee the instauration of the same flesh the recollection of the same bones and dust 2 an evocation of the same soule either out of the place of blisse or misery 3 the reuniting of them together so as there shall be the same individuall compound after the resurrection both for kinde and number as was before death Mnason Tell me first the words and then the meaning of the twelfth and last Article and so you shall have satisfied mee in the first head of Catechisme which is touching thinges to bee beleeved Apollos The wordes are these I beleeve life everlasting the sence is this that there is an unconceaveable unutterable estate of perfect blisse and full happinesse where there shall be a necessary absence of all evill and a necessary presence of all good which ere long shall bee the lot and portion of mee in particular and in generall of all those who in this life are justified and sanctified Mnason Why doe wee conclude the Creed with Amen Apollos It makes it of a perfect and circular forme For Amen the last word is neither more nor lesse in value and importance then I beleeve the first including three thinges I knowledge 2 assent and 3 affiance Summer quarter Mnason Proceed now to the second chiefe head of Catechisme the ten Commandements the rule of love or of thinges to be done and first give mee the most auncient and receaved division of them Apollos That is the very same which was given by God the Lawgiver himselfe who divided these ten precepts into two tables placing foure in the former to point us out our duty to God and sixe in the latter to set forth our duty to man Mnason What rule is most necessary to be premised for the better understanding of these ten holy lawes Apollos This that every Commandement hath either expressed or understood both an affirmative part to bar sinns of Omission and a negative part to barre sinnes of Commission Mnason Shew mee both those parts in the first Commandement Apollos The affirmative part is this Thou shalt choose Iehovah to bee thy God and him onely shalt thou know feare love trust in and serve The negative is expressed Thou shalt not have any other Gods by which is prohibited 1. Atheisme or the having of noe God to worship 2. Polytheisme or the having of diverse Gods 3. Idolatrie or the having of a false God Mnason Shew mee the affirmative and negative parts of the second Commandement Apollos This is the affirmative thou shalt worship God by such meanes and after such a manner as is agreeable to his nature and prescribed in his word to wit in spirit and in truth John 4. 24. the negative is this Thou shalt not worship the true God after a false manner Mnason Doe the like in the third commandement I pray you Apollos The affirmative part of it is this in all things give God his due glory or conferre all due honour to God that is both to his divine nature and essence to his word and to his workes The negative is this thou shalt neither with unreverend thoughts or with blasphemous words or with prophane and irreligious actions strike through the glorious and ever blessed name of God or bereave him of the honour due unto him Mnason Proceed on to the fourth commandement the last of the first table Apollos It 's affirmative part is this Remember to keepe holy the Sabboth day whereby we are commanded two things first to keepe an outward rest or cessation from labour Secondly to sanctifie or keepe holy that rest The negative part is this Thou shalt not prophane the Lords Saboth either in the excesse by a Judaicall and superstitious observation of the outward rest or in the defect by neglecting either the publique or private sanctification thereof as namely by taking libertie to doe any manner of worke which falls not under one of these three heads workes of Pietie Charitie or necessitie Mnason What say you to the fifth commandement Honour thy father and mother Apollos It is a commandement of relations prescribing the mutuall offices of all inferiours and superiours The affirmative part enjoyneth all reverence love obedience and gratitude towards our elders betters in gifts of body mind estate patrons and benefactors domesticall parents scholasticall parents ecclesiasticall parents politicall parents and back againe all care governement protection provision and indulgence of them to us downeward The negative part prohibiteth all manner of disrespects and disregards either of superiours towards their inferiours or of inferiours towards their superiours Mnason Unfold now the sixt commandement Thou shalt not kill Apollos The
of tentation which is that hee will not suffer us to bee tempted above our strength but give a gracious issue together with the tentation Mnason What imports the word Amen Apollos It is the seale of this prayer and is both the voice of faith and the voice of desire as much as to say Lord I beleeve these thinges shall be so and I desire earnestly they may be so both for thy glory and the Churches good Mnason Which is the fourth and last part of Catechisticall divinitie Apollos Of the sacraments which in one word cannot better be defined then that they are the visible word wherein and whereby Christ crucified is preached and declared to our eyes Mnason Now whereas the most perfect and exquisite knowledge of any thing is to see it in its causes and that there are foure causes of a thing the efficient from which it is the matter of which it is the forme by which it is what it is and th' end for which it is first shew mee which be the efficient causes of a sacrament Apollos Christ himselfe the head of his Church is the onely Author or principall efficient cause of a Sacrament none but hee alone having power to institute or ordain one in the Church but a lawfull minister is the instrumentall or secondary efficient cause hath power to administer and officiate as Christ had to institute Mnason Which is the matter of which a sacrament consists Apollos It is threefold 1 the outward signe representing 2 the inward grace represented 3 the word sanctifying Mnason wherein consists the inward forme or essence of a Sacrament Apollos In the analogy and proportion betwixt the outward signe and the inward grace which may be called a sacramentall union or conjunction Mnason How manifold is the end of a Sacrament Apollos Twofold 1. to signifie 2. to exhibit the graces of God therein specified and sealed And the 12 articles thus beleeved the ten commandements thus kept the sixe petitions thus powred forth and the two Sacraments thus administred and receaved bring a man about in a blessed circular motion unto the first-point of all to wit true blessednesse or happinesse FINIS AN ALPHABET CONTEINING THE BRIEFE OF what is to bee either knowne or done by them who unfeignedly desire to make acceptable approches to the Lords Table The Communicants Alphabet A Sacrament is the visible word as the Scripture is the word audible By it Christ crucified is spoken and preached to our eyes as in the scripture to our eares BAptisme is the Sacrament of our matriculation and admission into the Church and the Lords supper is the Sacrament of our establishment there and confirmation after wee are admitted Christ is the principall Author or efficient cause of a Sacrament in the Church A lawfull minister is the secondary or instrumentall cause None but Christ alone who is the head of the Church can ordaine or institute one none but a lawfull minister that is who hath gifts from God and calling from men can officiate or administer one DIstinguish wisely betwixt the three parts which concurre to the constituting of a sacrament to wit first the outward signes representing secondly the inward and invisible graces represented lastly the word of benediction or consecration meeting with both EXcept the word accede and be added unto the Elements it is noe Sacrament but common water common bread common wine FOrme inward or the essence of a Sacrament stands in the proportion or analogie betweene the outward signe and inward grace which may bee called a Sacramentall union or conjunction of the signe and the thing signified as namely the proportion which outward washing holds with inward sanctification is the essentiall form of baptisme and the proportion which bread and wine hold with the body and bloud of Christ is the essence and forme of the Lords supper GIve diligent heed also all the while of celebration to the whole leiturgie or office of the Church that is to all the words and actions of the minister which are said and done according to the institution of Christ and according to the rule and prescript of the Church whereof thou art a member for so much is called the outward forme of a sacrament HAve a stedfast regard withall to the threefold end of a sacrament which are first to be signes to represent secondly seales to confirme thirdly instruments to conveigh Grace for Sacraments were but poore thinges to what they are if they had not an exhibitive vertue as well as a significative IN preparation to the Lords table due respect must bee had both to the worthinesse of the receiver and to the worthinesse of receiving that is called precedent worthinesse or the worthinesse of the Person and is to goe before this is called concurrent Worthinesse or the worthinesse of handling and is to goe along with the act of receiving KNow then that as only sinne doth avile and unworthy our persons so nothing but Righteousnesse doth dignifie them and re-estate them in their former worthinesse and excellency LEarne further that this righteousnesse must bee twofold the one of Christ which must bee imputed unto us and therefore called the Righteousnesse of faith the other our owne which must bee imparted to us and inherent in us and therefore called the Righteousnesse of workes MOreover the worthinesse of handling or of receiving consists chiefly in putting in practice that grand Apostolicall rule 1 Cor. 11. 28. Let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of that bread and drinke of that cup. NEither is it sufficient to prove unlesse ou● weaknesses and infirmities being mercifully abated us in Christ we be able to approve our selves both to our owne hearts and to God who is greater then our hearts OMit not then to examine diligently the present condition first of the Faith and then of thy manners and life the touchstone of the former is the Creed and of the latter the decalogue or ten commandements PLace first before thine eyes the 12 Articles of that most auncient and Apostolique creed and examine thy selfe as in the presence of God first whether thou be able to give stedfast credit and firme assent unto each of them one by one and secondly whether thou canst apply each article particularly unto thine owne selfe and interest thine own soule by affiance and trust in the benefits and comforts which result from each Article QUestion nextly thy life and manners and therin place before thee the ten precepts of the morall law carefully searching by most diligent scrutiny through each commandement wherin thou hast transgressed and broken either the affirmative part of the commandement by sinnes of omission or the negative by sinnes of commission REpent from the bottome of thine heart where thou findest ought amisse in either and give not thy spirit
rest till thou hast brought it to a bleeding plight and wrought it to some measure of godly contrition For where wee cannot offer a lambe wee must offer a dove that is where wee cannot performe innocency wee must pay penitency SOrrow for what hath been amisse for the time past and carefull both resolution and endeavour to amend and reforme for the time to come are the two parts of true and formall repentance God will neither accept our sorrow without reformatiō nor our reformation without sorrow and contrition TAke heed with all thy might that whilst thou art at that holy exercise neither eyes nor mind wander least thou offer the sacrifice of fooles but strive both to confine the thoughts of thy heart and to fixe the speculation of thine eye For as was said before it is the visible word sermoning and preaching Christ crucified yea Christ crucifying unto the eyes in which regard not onely the Elements themselves but also every action of the minister while he is officiating is significative and representative UNto all this one thing more is to bee added which is the consequent or subsequent disposition and temper of soule which is to follow the holy Communion for the end crownes the worke Praeexistent congruities and coexistent concurrences and subsequent dispositions must all meet to make a good worke perfect and absolute There is required first a right ingresse into and then a right progresse in and lastly a right egresse out of every holy and pious performance before it can bee put upon the file of good Workes An action may miscarry upon one circumstance it cannot bee good but upon all WHen therefore thou hast received and that the holy businesse is ended thanke God heartily for so great a favour as to vouchsafe to feast thee with his owne body and blood and so make it as it is an Eucharist that is a sacrifice of praise and thankesgiving YIeld also unto God reall thankefullnesse that is constant and uniforme obedience eschewing even the least of sinnes which may defile the soule and setting upon the most difficult of vertues which may ingratiate thee with God Having washed thy feet doe not defile them againe having put off thy ragges put them not on againe Novemb. 28. 1639.
