height of dark ignorance from it can none diminish to assume such power is direct presumption Hath Christ sanctified a Table-gesture Come let us worship and fall downe and kneele before the Lord our Maker euen giue this honour of devising his owne worship and service both in matter and manner both in substance order to him onely to non other for his is the kingdome in devising his own service and the power in making it effectuall to his church and the glory of praise and honour for making known and exhibiting his eternall loue thereby for ever and ever Amen The Egyptians by reason of the grievous plagues which God sent amongst them were content to let Israel goe so that they would leaue their hoofes or cattell behinde them We haue thrust the Egyptians out let us send their hoofes after them lest they come to fetch them and God by a more grievous hand then ever yet we felt make us willing through experience of their blouddy cruelty to be rid of all their Reliques and Remainders whatsoever ROM 1. 16. I Am not ashamed of the Gospell of Christ saith the Apostle nor I of that gesture which the Gospell mentions that our Sauiour Christ approued in the Institution of his Supper Philip. 3. 17. Be followers of me looke on them which walke so as yee haue vs for an exsample 1. Cor. 11. 1. Be yee followers of me as I am of Christ But Christ and all his discriples vsed a table gesture and therfore vnles our adversaries can proue that they vsed some other gesture we may not followe or conforme to any other then a table gesture in the act of receaving 1. Cor. 3. 11. For other foundation can no man lay then that which is laid which is Iesus Christ We haue this foundation for the elements and for the gesture to conforme therefore to other elements or another gesture is to lay another foundation and so to follow some other Christ then our Christ or his Apostles but we haue not so learned Christ Hebr. 4. 14. Seing then wee haue such an high priest let us hold fast our profession Euen professe him to be our high preist as well in the gesture as in the elements in the ceremonie as well as in the substance 1. Cor. 11. 24. Do this in remembrance of me Master speakest thou this to vs also All actions of Institution are for Imitation 1. Ioh. 1. 6. 7. If we say we haue fellowship with him and walk in darknes whether it be in substance or in ceremonie wee lie and do not truely 1. Ioh. 2. 4. He that saith I knowe him and kepeth not his commandements is a lyar the truth is not in him Yea but how may wee know in this controversie what his commandement is Vers 5. He that kepeth his word in him is the loue of God perfect indeede hereby we knowe that we are in him And hereby we know are assured our reverent pastors are of him and our godly brethren are in him bycause they keep his commandements refuse Conformity to nothing but what is not in his word nor groūded thereon whosoeuer therefore professeth or saith he remaineth in him ought even so to walke both in substance and in Ceremonie as he hath walked Vers 6. and so haue they doone in these Controuersies neuer broaching or reviving any new commandement but the old which was from the beginning even the Word vers 7. which directs alwayes to the institution and never so much as inferrer any kinde of alteration from the same Math. 12. 50. Whosoever doth the will of my father which is in heaven the same is my brother and sister and mother Christ preferres spirituall kindred before carnall because they heare and obey the word of God And we preferre this spirituall gesture of the table being according to the Scriptures and warranted by Christs own practise in the institution before that carnall gesture of kneeling having no warrant from scripture and therefore cannot be the will of our father which is in heaven Accept my willing endevours heerein good Reader choosing rather to expose my selfe the malice of the ambitious then the light of this truth shall not be maintained All that loue the truth helpe me with your prayers DEMONSTRATIVE REASONS AGAINST conformity to kneeling in the act of receiving the Lords Supper HAVE you not read in the Scripture The stone which the Builders refused is become the head of the corner And must a Table-gesture which Christ himselfe and all his Apostles in the first institution used as the very sole foundation for all future ages to build upon bee therefore now reiected and another conformed unto as farre more seemly and significant because it pleases learned and wise men of speciall note and eminencie in the Church by profession and reputation even chiefe pillars and arch-builders to lay that imputation upon it so by their canons to conclude and determine against it I beseech you rather to to consider whether this disgracefull foundation thus openly laid upon the divine doctrine of the holy ceremony presage not though they pretend the contrary some evill intendment closely to depraue and corrupt by degrees the very heavenly substance Looke to their positions obserue their discourses compare their pretences and practises together and so proceed to sentence May any thing appropriated to religious use in the publick worship of God be prophane or carnall And are not the best devised devotions of the holiest and devoutest persons that ever were or ever possibly can be of this very nature yea doth not the Scripture usually set in direct opposition unto God himselfe whatsoever being essentially necessary in his worship as a gesture in the act of receiving is which is not ordained by God or warranted by his word stiling them with the titles of Novelty Innovation or devises imaginations of their own hearts new gods strange or other gods c. not that ever thereby in the Church especially any other Deitie was once imagined or any foundation concerning the doctrine of the blessed Trinity shaken or controverted but though they held the doctrine of the inward substance sound as Ieroboam did yet in the outward actions and ceremonies of his worship or outward manner of his service they erred not onely from the particuler directions of the ceremoniall law but from the generall scope of the second commandement viz. to serue God onely as hee requires in his word Gods worship is either inward or outward that concernes the soule and is contained in the first commandement this pertaines to the bodily exercises and is taught in the doctrines appertaining to the second commandement forbidding all other not required therein not that these may bee separated though distinguished for as soule and body make an entire person so do these two make an entire worship and neither of them can in this world be performed alone for as the inward is the life and soule of
