How hath Iesus Christ thus effected our peace and deliuerance frō so great punishment A. Because as hee was man Ephes 5.30 1. Tim. 1.15 Esay 53.5 1. Pet. 2.24 Rom. 4.25 Colloss 1.19.20 2.15 hee suffred for sinne in that nature in the which it was committed vz. in mens nature and so satisfied Gods iustice by that one oblation of his owne body and blood for our attonement secondly being God he was able to ouercome and breake the bonds of death and so wholy and fully to effect my saluation Q. Hauing thus escaped the terror and cursse of death tell me more plainely howe thou attainest euerlasting life A. Christe Iesus hauing accomplished perfect righteousnes Psal 32.2 Iohn 14.16 17. Iohn 17.13 21 22 23 24. it is mine by imputation and being sanctified by the fulnes of his spirite which hee hath receiued hee doth offer and present vs to the father crauing that wee may be partakers of euerlasting life and glorie with him Q.

Iohn 2.20 3.24 4.13 by the inwarde meanes which God hath appoynted to worke the same in vs secondly by the outward ordained for that purpose Q. Which is the outward meanes ordained A. The preaching of the word and ministration of the gospell Rom. 10.14 Gal 4.19 Ephes 4.11 1. Thes 5.19.20 which if we neglect to receiue and practise we shall be void of all saith and so consequently of all saluation Q. Hath GOD appointed anie meanes to confirme this faith A. Yes the blessed Sacramentes 1. Cor. 11.17 of our Lord and Sauiour Christ Iesus Q. How many Sacramentes be there A. Two Baptisme and the Lordes Supper as appeareth Rom. 4.11 1. Cor. 10.2 3.

What call you Baptisme and what benefite haue you by it A. Baptisme is the seale of my regeneration vniting to Christ Rom. 4.6 Acts 22.16 1. Pet. 3.21 Colloss 2 11. Tit. 3.5 whereas before I was a bond-slaue to fathan And it assureth me that as my bodie is wached with water so by the death of Christ my soule is washed frō sinne in his bloud and from the guilte and punishment of sinne And to conclude it teacheth me that by Christes death I should learne to dye vnto sinne and by his resurrection arise to holynes oflife which is the newe birth Q. What are you to obserue in the Lordes Supper and what dooth it represent vnto vs A. It assureth me by the operation of the spirit Luke 22.19.22 Iohn 6.53.54.55.56 58. that nowe being receaued by Baptisme into Gods family I shall be nourished with the liuing bread and water of the bodye and bloud of Christe as my bodye is refreshed with the outwarde vse of bread and wine and that as surely as the bread is broken and the wine is powred out so assuredly the body of Christ was broken and his bloud shed for my sinne Q. How may a man knowe whether he haue this faith which is begotten by the worde and confirmed by the Sacraments A. The principall and chiefest signe thereof is the spirit of Christ Rom. 8.9.10.11.14.15.16 which is the seale and pledge of our adoption and the earnest penny of our Saluation and this spirit is in none effectually but in Gods elect Q. How shall wee decerne whether this spirit be in vs or no A. By the

That through Gods vnspeakeable fauour I finde remedy for my sin that although the Lorde hath giuen such a lawe as I cannot performe and kéep because no other lawe then such a perfect rule of righteousnesse would agrée with his nature therefore not by my owne deseruing but by the mercie of our Lord God in the death of his Son and our Sauiour the guiltines of my sinnes taken away and I am discharged 3 And lastly that I rest thankefull all my life long for this exceeding benefite and shewe foorth the fruites of my redemption by a righteous and holy conuersation springing from a liuely and true faith which is begotten by his worde and sealed by his Spirite This is the summe FINIS A Carde for Communicants to looke vpon before they presume to come to the Lordes Table fit to be learned of all that will not receiue vnworthelye Question HOw many thinges are to be regarded and learned of them that approche to the Lordes Table to receiue the holye misterie of his holye Supper Answere Principally one thing which is to examine themselues before they eate least not discerning the Lordes bodye they eate and drinke vnworthely and so the bread and wine be vnto them of no greater force then the supper was to Judas euen a seale of their condemnation Q. What meane you by discerning the Lordes Supper A. I meane that we must not come to the Lordes Table as to a common feast or banquet regarding onely the outward elements as though bread and wine were become our spirituall nourishment but that by the outward signes wee be ledde as it were by the hand to that which they signifie namely that Christ Jesus hath suffered the death of the crosse to take away my sinnes which are the cause of my condemnation and to bring me vnto euerlasting life through that fulnes of grace which resteth in him Q. You say the principall thing to be regarded is to examine our selues wherein dooth this examination consiste A. In these foure pointes especially which are not lightly to be considered off Q. Which be they tell me briefely A. 1. That I haue some knowledge to discerne the Lords body as is aforesaide and be able by a liuely and true saith to apply Christ and all his merites to my soule for my consolation comfort least otherwise by hauing no féeling of Gods mercie loue towards me the Sacrament doe appeare to be but a dead letter vnto me 2. That I finde my selfe inwardly and truely grieued for all my sinnes both lesser and greater yea for all my idle wordes and vnprofitable workes and for all sinnes whatsoeuer whether actuall or originall and that I purpose not to sinne againe for any pleasure or prosite whatsoeuer but to behaue my selfe before him all the dayes of my life in performance of all holy duties according to his worde 2. That as I sée by the breaking or cutting of the bread and powring out the wine that Christs bodie and bloud was deuided broken and powred out for my sinne so to finde my heart lyfted vp vnto God and prepared to giue humble and heauenly thankes vnto him as for all his mercies so especially for those present benefites which we sée before our eyes and pertake at his holy Table And to conclude to bee as ready to be broken slaine for Christs sake as he was for mine by taking vp his crosse and following him 4. And lastly as I finde by the vewe of all these mercies that God loueth me vndeseruedly so that I finde and féele my selfe readie to loue all men in like sorte though they deserue it not yea my very enemies Q.
