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

call_v have_v be_v sacrilegious_a even_o so_o here_o in_o the_o element_n resemble_v his_o separation_n and_o death_n but_o for_o the_o act_n itself_o consider_v two_o thing_n first_o be_v two_o thing_n in_o it_o 1._o what_o it_o be_v what_o be_v it_o why_o be_v it_o for_o answer_v to_o the_o first_o the_o break_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o take_n of_o the_o loaf_n and_o a_o break_n thereof_o with_o his_o holy_a hand_n into_o gobbet_n and_o morsel_n meet_v for_o his_o disciple_n not_o mince_a the_o bread_n and_o cut_v it_o with_o a_o knife_n into_o small_a bit_n nor_o yet_o into_o overgreat_a piece_n but_o i_o say_v into_o morsel_n competent_a i_o do_v not_o quarrel_v with_o the_o custom_n of_o cut_v with_o the_o knife_n for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o of_o sprinkle_v the_o water_n so_o i_o say_v of_o this_o i_o disannul_v not_o the_o ordinance_n thereby_o yet_o still_o i_o say_v i_o will_v rather_o choose_v to_o cleave_v to_o the_o institution_n in_o so_o plain_a a_o act_n of_o our_o saviour_n if_o it_o may_v convenient_o be_v do_v than_o to_o black_a it_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o it_o may_v savour_v of_o some_o popish_a niceness_n for_o as_o they_o wear_v white_a glove_n when_o they_o meddle_v with_o the_o element_n and_o touch_v they_o not_o with_o their_o bare_a hand_n pretend_v more_o reverence_n to_o be_v in_o a_o beast_n skin_n than_o a_o man_n naked_a hand_n so_o some_o think_v it_o too_o homely_a perhaps_o to_o break_v the_o bread_n with_o their_o hand_n in_o comparison_n of_o cut_v it_o with_o a_o knife_n to_o such_o i_o say_v that_o they_o be_v too_o nice_a herein_o and_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n much_o more_o to_o be_v follow_v the_o minister_n himself_o break_v it_o and_o no_o leave_v it_o as_o sometime_o be_v use_v to_o the_o clerk_n or_o sexton_n to_o be_v do_v it_o 2._o why_o be_v it_o second_o why_o be_v it_o i_o answer_v for_o sundry_a cause_n first_o to_o parallel_v the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o passeover_n

himself_o the_o next_o day_n upon_o the_o cross_n for_o a_o oblation_n to_o god_n else_o he_o will_v have_v choose_v some_o other_o to_o break_v and_o pour_v out_o but_o in_o do_v it_o himself_o he_o

than_o do_v he_o yield_v himself_o to_o their_o hand_n fourthly_a to_o signify_v to_o the_o church_n that_o although_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v in_o himself_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o life_n and_o
