bread_n here_o be_v the_o 2d_o thing_n require_v in_o a_o sacrament_n even_o a_o obligation_n on_o god_n when_o we_o due_o use_v these_o outward_a sign_n to_o communicate_v to_o we_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n and_o make_v we_o one_o body_n among_o ourselves_o 3_o dly_z whoever_o negligent_o or_o wilful_o omit_v the_o use_n of_o these_o sign_n must_v expect_v to_o lose_v the_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n signify_v by_o they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o communion_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n for_o he_o who_o wilful_o or_o negligent_o omit_v communicate_v in_o the_o lord's-supper_n when_o he_o may_v have_v it_o plain_o betray_v a_o defect_n in_o his_o faith_n since_o nothing_o can_v hinder_v we_o from_o feed_v on_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o his_o supper_n but_o want_n of_o faith_n to_o feed_v on_o he_o in_o our_o heart_n and_o therefore_o when_o we_o wilful_o neglect_v the_o use_n of_o these_o sign_n we_o must_v not_o expect_v the_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n from_o god_n that_o be_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n require_v in_o a_o sacrament_n i_o be_o afraid_a few_o be_v true_o convince_v of_o this_o truth_n and_o yet_o till_o the_o generality_n be_v convince_v of_o it_o we_o can_v never_o expect_v a_o constant_a celebration_n of_o this_o sacrament_n from_o minister_n or_o a_o constant_a receive_v of_o it_o from_o the_o people_n nor_o will_v it_o be_v possible_a to_o restore_v the_o discipline_n of_o the_o church_n to_o its_o vigour_n till_o people_n apprehend_v the_o danger_n of_o not_o communicate_v for_o the_o force_n of_o discipline_n depend_v chief_o on_o keep_v refractory_a sinner_n from_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o want_n of_o which_o by_o this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o penal_a that_o whoever_o in_o earnest_n believe_v it_o will_v ready_o submit_v to_o any_o term_n that_o be_v not_o direct_o sinful_a rather_o

a_o death_n therefore_o unto_o sin_n and_o a_o new_a birth_n unto_o righteousness_n be_v the_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n signify_v by_o the_o outward_a sign_n of_o water_n appoint_v by_o christ_n in_o baptism_n which_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n necessary_a to_o a_o sacrament_n 2._o christ_n have_v promise_v mark_v 16.16_o that_o he_o that_o believe_v and_o be_v baptize_v shall_v be_v save_v which_o be_v a_o obligation_n on_o god_n by_o his_o promise_n to_o give_v to_o those_o who_o right_o use_v this_o sign_n the_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n signify_v by_o it_o which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n requisite_a in_o a_o sacrament_n 3._o the_o wilful_a neglect_n or_o refusal_n of_o this_o sacrament_n be_v damnable_a and_o deprive_v the_o obstinate_a refuser_n of_o the_o spiritual_a benefit_n signify_v in_o it_o according_a to_o john_n 3.5_o except_o a_o man_n be_v bear_v of_o water_n and_o the_o spirit_n he_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o three_o thing_n we_o find_v requisite_a in_o a_o sacrament_n let_v we_o now_o in_o the_o second_o place_n see_v whether_o our_o church_n ascribe_v any_o of_o these_o to_o the_o cross_n in_o baptism_n for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o it_o be_v a_o great_a misrepresentation_n to_o say_v as_o mr._n boyse_n do_v p._n 164._o that_o there_o want_v nothing_o but_o divine_a institution_n to_o make_v it_o as_o much_o a_o sacrament_n as_o baptism_n itself_o first_o then_o we_o do_v not_o teach_v that_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n be_v institute_v by_o god_n to_o signify_v any_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n we_o expect_v from_o he_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o signify_v only_o the_o duty_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n it_o be_v not_o use_v to_o signify_v any_o grace_n or_o benefit_n communicate_v from_o god_n to_o we_o as_o sign_n do_v in_o sacrament_n but_o only_o to_o signify_v the_o return_n we_o ought_v to_o make_v to_o god_n for_o the_o benefit_n he_o have_v vouchsafe_v we_o in_o baptism_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o christ_n crucify_a but_o manful_o to_o fight_v under_o his_o banner_n and_o continue_v his_o soldier_n and_o servant_n the_o first_o thing_n therefore_o necessary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n be_v altogether_o want_v to_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross._n and_o it_o be_v incumbent_a on_o mr._n boyse_n to_o show_v we_o what_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n from_o god_n this_o sign_n signify_v with_o we_o before_o he_o affirm_v it_o to_o want_v nothing_o to_o make_v it_o a_o sacrament_n as_o much_o as_o baptism_n for_o since_o baptism_n signify_v a_o death_n unto_o sin_n and_o a_o new_a birth_n unto_o righteousness_n which_o be_v spiritual_a grace_n we_o expect_v immediate_o from_o god_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v show_v some_o such_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n which_o we_o employ_v the_o cross_n to_o signify_v or_o else_o it_o plain_o want_v this_o part_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n but_o second_o the_o second_o part_n be_v as_o much_o want_v our_o church_n never_o teach_v that_o god_n be_v oblige_v by_o any_o promise_n or_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o expect_v on_o our_o due_a use_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n that_o god_n will_v grant_v we_o any_o great_a benefit_n by_o it_o on_o the_o contrary_a we_o unanimous_o teach_v that_o the_o cross_n be_v not_o use_v to_o signify_v any_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n expect_v from_o god_n but_o to_o profess_v and_o declare_v a_o duty_n of_o we_o to_o he_o even_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o his_o suffering_n our_o church_n teach_v we_o to_o expect_v that_o whereas_o by_o nature_n we_o be_v child_n of_o wrath_n we_o shall_v in_o baptism_n be_v make_v child_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o be_v teach_v to_o expect_v the_o strengthen_n and_o refresh_v of_o our_o soul_n by_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n as_o our_o body_n be_v by_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o we_o be_v not_o teach_v to_o expect_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n or_o that_o god_n have_v annex_v any_o such_o promise_n to_o it_o and_o therefore_o to_o allege_v that_o according_a to_o our_o church_n there_o be_v nothing_o want_v but_o divine_a institution_n to_o make_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n as_o much_o a_o sacrament_n as_o baptism_n itself_o be_v a_o misrepresentation_n without_o ground_n or_o colour_n let_v i_o add_v that_o this_o obligation_n on_o god_n by_o promise_n to_o grant_v we_o the_o spiritual_a grace_n or_o benefit_n signify_v by_o it_o on_o our_o due_a use_n of_o the_o sign_n be_v the_o very_a thing_n that_o constitute_v a_o sacrament_n and_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o other_o sign_n and_o this_o be_v want_v though_o a_o sign_n have_v all_o other_o thing_n like_o a_o sacrament_n yet_o it_o will_v be_v no_o more_o a_o sacrament_n than_o a_o image_n that_o in_o every_o thing_n else_o except_o a_o soul_n be_v like_o a_o man_n will_v be_v a_o man._n but_o three_o as_o the_o two_o first_o thing_n necessary_a to_o a_o sacrament_n be_v want_v to_o it_o according_a to_o our_o doctrine_n so_o be_v the_o three_o since_o we_o do_v not_o teach_v that_o the_o neglect_v or_o omit_v this_o sign_n deprive_v we_o of_o any_o spiritual_a grace_n if_o we_o wilful_o neglect_v or_o refuse_v baptism_n it_o be_v a_o damnable_a sin_n and_o deprive_v we_o of_o our_o title_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o like_a we_o teach_v concern_v wilful_a neglect_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n that_o it_o deprive_v we_o of_o the_o nourishment_n which_o we_o shall_v derive_v from_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ._n but_o we_o never_o teach_v any_o such_o thing_n concern_v the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross._n neither_o can_v any_o such_o thing_n be_v show_v in_o our_o article_n canon_n or_o office_n on_o the_o contrary_a the_o 30_o canon_n express_o teach_v that_o the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n use_v after_o baptism_n add_v nothing_o to_o the_o virtue_n or_o perfection_n thereof_o nor_o if_o it_o be_v omit_v do_v it_o take_v any_o thing_n from_o the_o substance_n or_o efficacy_n

the_o sign_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o i_o think_v be_v sufficient_a to_o convince_v any_o unbyased_a person_n that_o you_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o separate_v from_o our_o worship_n on_o that_o
