same faith and love attending upon and submitting to the Ordinances of Christ and performing mutuall offices each to other this is one Body And such is the Church catholick consider it as we will whether in the Invisible or visible state of it it is on Body The Church catholick invisible The Church catholick invisible one Body Being made up of all true Beleevers such as having a reall union with Christ have also union and communion one with another These make up one Body As the Body is one c. so also is Christ saith the Apostle 2 Cor. 12.12 Christ mysticall the Church whereof Christ is the Head For by one Spirit we are all baptised into one Body ver 13. A mystery represented to our eye in the Sacrament of the Lords Supper where the Sacramentall Bread being made of many graines meeting together and making one loaf and the Sacramentall Wine being the juice of many grapes meeting together in the same Cup do excellently represent unto the receiver the unity of the Church catholick wherein all true beleevers being knit together by Faith unto Christ and by love one to another make up one mysticall Body So our Apostle unvailes this mystery 1 Cor. 10.17 For we being many are one bread and one body Such is the Church catholick invisible And such is the Church catholibk visible The Church catholick visible one Body Consisting of the whole company of visible Saints such as professe the true faith of Christ with subjection to his Ordinances professe Faith and Obedience This also as it is one Church so called by the Apostle in that 1 Cor. 12.28 God hath set some in the church first Apostles secondarily Prophets thirdly Teachers c. meaning thereby the Church catholick visible to which those extrordinary and catholick officers were properly and to which the other ordinary officers are primarily given so it is one body so called by the same Apostle Ephes 4.4 There is one body meaning thereby the church catholick to which belongeth that one baptisme ver 5. and to which those officers were given by Christ spoken of ver 11. He gave some Apostles some Prophets some Evangelists c. These Christ gave to his Church catholick as considered in the visible state of it And so may we understand the Apostle here in the Text We being many are one body not only that particular Church at Rome but the church catholick visible whereof Paul himselfe was a member as I before expounded it This is One Bodie Whether one Organicall body as they call it or no is made a matter of great dispute in the present times but I shall not trouble you with that notion It is enough for my present purpose that which I suppose in a morderate sense will be granted at all intelligent hands that there is such a Church catholick visible and that Church also is one body one essentiall and integrall bodie made up of many members combined and knit together in the profession of the same faith Thus the church take it as we will still we find a unity in it I mean in the notion O that it were so also in the practice It is one body And that under one head There is a third Resemblance Resembl 3. Unity of the head which is So is it in the Naturall body there is one body under one head A head there must be and but one head otherwise it would be a monstrous body should it be either 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 without a head or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 having more heads then one And so is it in this Mysticall body it is also one body under one head which head is Christ so it followeth in the Text. Wee are one body in Christ Christ Sumus unum corpus in Christo id est per Christum qui corporis istius compactor fuit Grot. ad Text. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is not onely per Christum as Grotius dilutely expounds it By Christ as being the Authour of this union the gatherer and compacter of his Elect people into one True it is this Christ doth he being the great Shepherd gathereth all his sheep into one fold so much we may learn from that Suffragan High Priest who spake more then himself understood as too many at this day do though not more thē the Spirit of God intended to speak by him Joh. 11.51 where he prophesied that Jesus should die for that nation And not for that nation only but that also he should gather together in one the children of God that were scattered abroad This Christ in part hath done and further wil do to the end of the world gather together his Elect of Jewes and Gentiles so making them one Body This is a Truth but not the whole truth There is somewhat more in this phrase In Christ viz. as being the Common head of his Church So Grotius himselfe rightly expounds that other place of the same Apostle Ephes 1.10 Grotius Com. ad Ephes 1.10 where hee setteth forth the mystery of Gods will and purpose now revealed in the Gospel viz. That in the dispensation of the fulnesse of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ Per Christum tanquam caput by Christ as a Head And so much the word there translated Gather together may be conceived to import 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 to bring under one Head Such is Christ to his Church Not onely a Head over all things to it as he is said to be Ephes 1.22 but the Head of it Oft times we find him expresly so called The Head of the Body the Church Col. 1.18 Ephes 5.23 Such a relation there is betwixt Christ and his Church as betwixt the Head and the Body And thence it is that as he is called the Head of his Church so the Church is called his Body Ephes 1. last 1 Cor. 12.27 And well may they be so called Christ the Head of the church the Body Christ the Head the Church the Body It The Head participates in the same nature wih the Body So doth Christ with his church 2. The Head is above the Body set over it to rule and guide it so is Christ over his Church 3. The Head looketh out for the Body providing for it and so doth Christ for his Church 4. The Head giveth influence communicateth animall spirits giveth sense and motion to all the members of the Body so doth Christ communicate his Spirit to all the members of this mysticall Body whereby he giveth spirituall sense and motion to them 5. The Members of the Body are all united to the Head by some common bands and ligaments nerves and sinews whereby they come to have union and communion with it And so are all true believers unto Christ united to him by his Spirit on his part by Faith and Love on their part whence they come to have union and communion with him And
