Q VVhat is the forme of a Sacrament An. The relation order or proportion that is betwixt the signe and the thing signified Q What is Baptisme A. The sacrament of our new Birth or of our first admittance or entrance into the Church or Christianity Rom. 4. 11. Math. 28. 19. Qu. To whom doth Baptisme belong A. To al beleeuers to their childrē Qu. Are in●ants then to be Baptised especially seeing that the scripture maketh no expresse mention thereof A. Yes vndoubtedly for first there is such an affinity betweene Circumcision Baptisme that succeedeth it that by what reason the children of the Iewes were circumcized by the same may the children of Christians be baptized Secondly the commission that Christ graue to his Apostles commanding them to baptisze all nations was general and made no exception of Infants Thirdly the Apostles baptized whole families Ac. 16 15. 1 Cor. 1. 16 1 therfore in al likelihood Infants that are a part of thē Lastly the grace promise the thing signified belong to Infāts therfore the outward signe also Q. How often is a man to be Baptized An. Only once For as it is sufficient to be once ingrafted into the Church once borne so it sufficeth to bee but once baptized Secondly there is but one baptisme Ephe 4. Lastly circumsition was but once administred therefore baptisme in like manner Qu. What is the outward signe or element in Baptisme Answ. Water onely and no signes or matter els Que. VVhat is the thing signifyed by Baptisme Answ. First the purging and washing away of our sinnes by the sprinkling of the bloud of Christ. Secondly our regeneration or sanctification to eternall life Titus 3 5. Rom. 3. verse 25. Q. VVhat is the forme of Baptisme An. The diuing dipping or baptizing of the Infant with water by the Minister into the name of the Father the Sonne the Holy Ghost Mat. 28 29. Qu. VVhat gather you hence Ans. A double solemne couenant First in regard of God the Father to receiue the party baptized into his fauor of God the Sonne to redeeme him of God the holy Ghost to regenerate him Secondly of the party baptized who here solemnely promiseth to acknowledge inuocate worship God alone and withall to renounce the world the flesh and the diuell Q. What vse are we to make of baptisme An. First when we are tēpted to commit any sin we must for the preueting of it call to our●remembrance our solemne vow made in baptisme Seco●dly we must dayly labour to feele and discerne in our selues the proper effect frute of Baptisme namely the power of Christs death mortifying sinne and the power of his resurrection quickning and renewing vs. And thus much of sacraments in generall and of Baptisme in particuler Qu. VVHat is the Lords supper An. A sacrament of our spirituall norrishment growth and preseruation in Christianity Qu. Who instituted it Ans. The Lord Iesus Qu. When Ans. At supper time Qu. Why at that time An. Because at that euening began the day of the passouer and Christ being forthwith to be apprehēded could not defer it to the next morning Qu. Why did the Church change the time of the administration of it Ans. The time is but an externall accident which is in the Churches liberty to reteine or alter Secondly the reason why they changed it vnto the morning was the preuention of drunkennesse gluttony or the like abuses that in processe of time crept in Qu. What are the outward signes or elements in the sacrament Ans. Bread and Wine Qu. Why are there two signes in the Lords supper Answ. For two endes First more liuely and fully to set forth Christ his passion Secondly to signifie and seale vnto vs our full and perfect norrishment and saluation in Christ. Que. What doth the breaking of the bread signifie An. The body of Christ bruized and crucified for vs. Qu. VVhat doth the powring out of tht wine signifie An. The bloud of Christ shed for the remission of our sinnes Qu. Then we neede no Popish images pictures crucifixes and to represent vnto vnto vs Christs passion An. No For the death and passion of Christs holy Scriptures and also in this Sacrament especially is described set forth and depainted liuely before our eyes And as for the Papists lying vanities they are flat idolatrous and we abho● and detest them Qu. What is the thing signfied b● this Sacrament An. Christ Iesus and all his merits and blessings Q. what is the forme of this Sacramēt An. The order relation betweene bread the wine the thing signified in the administration and vse of this sacrament Qu. Explaine and shew vnto me the order analogie and proportion betweene the signes and the thing signified An. Thus it appeareth as the bread and wine haue force and efficacy to norish and strenthen the body so the body blood of Christ together with al the benifits that flow frō his death passion doe inwardly norish strengthen a beleeuer vnto eternall life Qu. Are the Bread and Wine in the vse of the Sacrament things really existing or but only outward shewes apparēts as the Church of Rome imagineth An. They doe really exist and retaine their former substance nature for first according to the infallible rule in Philosophy no accidents can subsist without their subiects to whome they are tyed Secondly the Apostle Paul in the whole discourse of the Sacrament mentioneth the expresse words of bread and wine 1. Cor. 1. 26. 27. 28. Qu. How then and wherein differeth the bread and wine in the sacrament from common bread and wine A. Not in nature substance but only in end vse significatiō For in common vse they serue only to the nourishment of the body but in the sacramētal vse to the norishing of the soule secondly before they were without signification relation but in the Sacrament they signifie Christs body and blood Q. Then the elemenss of bread wine are not transsubstantiated or turned into the very body and bloud of Christ A. No for first it is a spiritual foode therfore spiritually to be eaten and receiued by ●aith Secondly the holding of this absurd opinion ouerthroweth the articles of Christs Incarnation ascension for if he was borne of the Virgin Mary then not made of bread if he be ascended into Heauen and there contained vnto the ende of the world then he is not corporally presēt much lesse made of bread Thirdly it destroyeth the very nature and forme of a Sacrament which consisteth in the relation respect that is betwixt the signe and the thing signified Fourthly the bread in time will mould and the wine turne into vinegar ergo there is no such conuersion Lastly to omit many other arguments if there were any such transubstantiation the very reprobates as Iudas should truly feede on the body bloud of Christ and so should bee saued but this is flat
