The Sacraments of Baptism and the Lords Supper agree in that the author of both is God (m) Mat. 28. 19. Go therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name c. 1 Cor. 11. 23. For I have received of the Lord that which I also delivered unto you that the Lord Jesus in the same night wherein he was betrayed took bread c. the spiritual part of both is Christ and his benefits (n) Rom. 6. 3 4. Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death v. 4. Therefore we are buried with him by bapitsme into death that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of his Father even so we also should walk in newness of life 1 Cor. 10. 16. The cup of blessing which we bless is it not the communion of the blood of Christ the bread which we break is it not the communion of the body of Christ both are seals of the same Covenant (o) Rom. 4. 11. And he received the sign of circumcision a seal of the righteousness of faith which he had being yet uncircumcised that he might be the father of all them who believe though they be not circumcised that righteousness might be imputed unto them also Compared with Col. 2. 11 12. In whom also ye were circumcised with the Circumcision made without hands in putting away the body of the sins of the flesh by the cirumcision of Christ buried with him in baptisme wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him from the dead Mat. 26. 27 28. And he took the cup and gave thanks and gave it to them saying Drink ye all of this v. 28. For this is my blood of the New Testament which is shed for many for the remission of sins are to be dispensed by Ministers of the Gospel and by none other (p) Joh. 1. 33. And I knew him not but he that sent me to baptize with water the same said unto me upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending c. Mat. 28. 19. Go ye therefore and teach all nations Baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Ghost 1 Cor. 11. 23. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you that the Lord Jesus the same night wherein he was betrayed took bread c. 1 Cor. 4. 1. Let a man so account of us as of the Ministers of Christ and Stewards of the mysteries of God Heb. 5. 4. And no man taketh this honour unto himself but he that is called of God as was Aaron and to be continued in the Church of Christ until his second coming (q.) Mat. 28. 19 20. Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing c. v. 20. Teaching them to observe all things which I command you and loe I am with you even to the end of the world 1 Cor. 11. 26. For as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup ye shew the Lords death till he come Q. Wherein do the Sacraments of Baptisme and the Lords Supper differ A. The Sacraments of Baptisme and the Lords Supper differ in that Baptisme is to be administred but once with water to be a signe and seal of our regeneration and ingrafting into Christ (r) Mat. 3. 1â— I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance but he that cometh after me c. Tit. 3. 5. Not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to his mercy he saved us by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the holy Ghost Gal. 3. 27. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ and that even to infants (Å¿) Gen. 17. 7 -9 And I will establish my Covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting Covenant to be a God unto thee and thy seed after thee v. 9. And God said unto Abraham Thou shalt keep my Covenant therefore thou and thy seed after thee in their generations Act. 2. 38 39. Then Peter said unto them Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus for the remission of sin and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost v. 39. For the promise is unto you and to your children and to all that are afar off even as many as the Lord our God shall call 1 Cor 7. 14. For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband else were your children unclean but now they are holy whereas the Lords Supper is to be administred often in the Elements of bread and wine to represent and exhibit Christ as spiritual nourishment to the soul (t) 1 Cor. 11. 23 24 25 26. I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you that the Lord Jesus the same night wherein he was betrayed took bread v. 24. And when he had given thanks he brake it and said Take eat this is my body which is broken for you this do in remembrance of me v. 25. After the same manner also he took the Cup when he had supped saying This Cup is the New Testament in my blood this do ye as oft as ye drink it in remembrance of me v. 26. For as oft as ye eat this bread c. and to confirm our continuance and growth in him (u) 1 Cor. 10. 16. The Cup of blessing which we bless is it not the Communion of The bread which we break is it not the Communion of the body of Christ and that onely to such as are of years and ability to examine themselves (*) 1 Cor. 11. 28. 29. But let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that Bread and drink of that Cup. v. 29. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily eateth and drinketh damnation to himself not discerning the Lords body Q. What is Prayer A. Prayer is an offering up of our desires unto God (x) Psal 62. 8. Trust in him at all times ye people pour out your hearts before him God is a refuge for us in the Name of Christ (y) Joh. 16. 23. And in that day ye shall ask me nothing verily I say unto you whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name he will give it you by the help of his
own Poets have said For we are also of his off-spring and that he is a God in Covenant as with Israel of old so with all his people i Gen. 17. 7. And I will establish my Covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting Covenant to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee Rom. 3. 29. Is he the God of the Jews onely is he not also of the Gentiles Yes of the Gentiles also who as he brought them out of their bondage in Egypt so he delivereth us from our Spiritual thraldom k Luke 1. 74 75.

And if ye call on the father who without respect of persons judgeth according to every mans work pass the time of your sojoruning here in fear V. 18. Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers Lev. 18. 30. Therefore shall ye keep mine Ordinances that ye commit not any of these abominable customes which were committed before you that ye defile not your selves therein I am the Lord your God Lev. 19. 37.

Thou hast avouched the Lord this day to be thy God and to walk in his wayes and to keep his statutes and his commandments and his judgements and to hearken unto his voice Esai 43. 10. Ye are my witnesses saith the Lord and my servant whom I have chosen that ye may know and believe me and understand that I am he before me there was no God formed neither shall there be after me Jer. 14. 22. Are there any among the vanities of the Gentiles that can cause rain or can the heavens give showers Art not thou he O Lord our God therefore we will wait upon thee for thou hast made all these things and to worship and glorifie him accordingly p Psal 95. 6 7. O come let us worship and bow down let us kneel before the Lord our Maker V. 7. For he is our God and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hands Mat. 4. 10.
