and often times such for vnworthy receiuing doe receiue punishment and sometimes such doe eate and drinke their owne damnation as the Apostle testifieth So the benefit of them that receiue it worthily is great for by faith they feeding spiritually doe eate the spirituall foode which neuer perisheth by vertue whereof they are preserued from perishing and sustained vnto eternall life Q. What meaneth the Apostle by eating and drinking their owne damnation in the Lords supper A. The Apostle doth signifie that euen this banquet receiued by the wicked persons carelesse and without consideration of their owne impietie without faith repentance or charitie trampling vnder foote that precious bloud Euen for such contempt hée meaneth such wicked persons shall finde the receiuing thereof to testifie their condemnation more fully Q. What doth he meane that he saith some of you are sicke some are weake and some are falne asleepe A. He admonisheth them which were and vs that are now reputed faithfull professors that for lack of that worthinesse which is required of them and vs which come not fully or fitly prepared such were and are punished with such sicknesses and punishments as might make them better to consider their owne crimes and vnaduised receiuing Christ his blessed bodie and so condenme their owne selues And by such punishment also God moueth them to flie to him for mercy in this world that they may not with the wicked of this world perish in the world to come for want of Christian duties Q. What duties are of Christians required which come to this Sacrament of Christ that they may be reputed worthy receiuers thereof A. There is required principally of them a three-folde consideration or examination which worthily and effectually bee partakers of Christ Q. Shew me those principall considerations and examinations A. As it is not fit for a seruant or a subiect to come to the Table of a temporall King vncleanly or vncomely so it is much more vnfit and further offence to come to the table of the eternall king Christ Iesus with any kind of vncleannesse as might giue offence to his mightie Maiestie Q. Shew mee first what cleannesse is required of Christians comming to his presence to be pertakers of this precious banquet A. The people were commaunded when they came to heare the Law promulgated on Sina Certaine dayes to wash and sanctifie themselus before they came to heare the Law When the Lord would haue his people talke with his Maiestie he commanded them to wash them and make them cleane from all their wirkednesse Before King Dauid came to Gods Altar he washed his handes in innocencie And Christ Iesus did both wash and wipe the very féete of the Apostles when he would make them fit for this feast Q. What learne we by all these washings A. First when we come to heare the Law or Gospell preached all wickednesse and vngodlinesse must be washed by earnest sorrow for former sinnes committed and our selues sanctified by beliefe that pardon for sinne and increase of grace may by Christ be granted Secondly when we come to the maiesty of the glorious God by inuocation or prayer we must with the Publican see and bee sorrowfull for our owne miserie and not with a proud but a pure zeale of soule hope to be purged pardoned and by Christ iustified Thirdly we must not presume to come to the Temple nor to the Altar nor Table of this great King vntill heart and hand bodie and soule and euery part be found by proofe to be pure and cleane Fourthly by Christ we are taught that except we be washed by him be pronounced cleane by his mouth none are fit for this feast and that is the cause that the Apostle sayth some eate drinke their olone damnation because that euery man doth not examine himselfe to find his testimony of his washing through Christ Iesus Lord of the feast before hee come to the Lordes feast and blessed Sacrament of his bodie and bloud Q. As you haue shewed me what cleanlines is fit for Christian Communicants so shew me what comelinesse is required at the table and Supper of the Lord A. As at a festiuall Table of a King comely and desent garments are required so at the feast and table of the Lord euery Christian must haue a comely and Christian garment such as may please God through Christ Q. What garment is fit for a Christian to come to the Lords table in A. There belongeth first a Christian care of casting away the garment of the old corrupt Adam And secondly an indeuour to put on Christ Iesus Q. Shew me what the casting away of the olde Adam doth signifie A. First it signifieth the casting away the corruptions that we are clothed with naturally by Adams transqression and the Apostle nameth them to be principally these following namely lying and slandring in any sort Secondly stealing and all kinde of false dealing vncomely vngodly and especially all filthie and prophane talking Thirdly all bitternesse wrath wrathfull or euill speaking one to another séeing we are all members of one bodie Fourthly and finally to banish and cast from vs all thoughts words workes that eyther are euill or tend to euill purposes Q. Let me now vnderstand what the putting on Christ Iesus meaneth A. First we must vnderstand the remoouing from the minde inwardly all euils is the worke of the holy Ghost which afterward doth cloth and garnish the godly with the forme and shape of God in true holines and righteousnesse by Christ Q. Shew me the signes of the holinesse and righteousnesse by Christ Iesus bestowed on vs A. As we are clothed by Christ with sanctification of Gods spirit and iustification before God so it doth often appeare before men and is expressed in speaking the truth without dissimulation In honest dealing and godly care in our vocation iustly to labour and liue To speake that which may be instruction for others and consolation to those that heare our wordes Christians must be courteous one to another mercifull one to another louing one to another and by loue which they seeing in God towardes them one to forgiue another as God for Christ his sake forgiueth them and in the true garment of vnion clothed comming to the Communion of the bodie and bloud of Christ shall be accepted as ghests worthie of Gods graces by Christ at the table presented You haue shewed mee from the first consideration what comelinesse and cleannesse becommeth Christians to haue when they come to be partakers of the Lords supper Shew mée nowe the manner of eating and drinking of the Lords bodie and bloud Q. What must a Christian man consider in the worthie eating the bodie of Christ Iesus and drinking his precious bloud spiritually A. As all that worke the worke of GOD must beleeue in him whom God hath sent so all that will eate the bodie of Christ and drinke his bloud worthily must beleeue in his Incarnation in his Passion in his Resurrection
of a Christian to Gods maiesty is first placed so shew me what is thereby to be learned A. First I learne that GOD is first and principally to be obeyed Secondly that the kingdome of God is before all things to be desired Thirdly that all our goods and substance are to Gods glory to be employed Fourthly to expresse our loue to God our liues are not to be regarded Proceede nowe to the first precept of the second Table A. Honour thy Father and mother that thy dayes may belong in the land c. Q. What learne you by this word honour thy Father A. I learne that I am bound to loue feare and obey to reuerence relieue comfort all those which God hath placed in place of my parents Q. What persons are by Gods word in place of parents to be honoured A. First naturall parents which are instruments of our life first are so to bee honoured Ephe. 6. Secondly Kinges and Queenes which are Gods annoynted as princely parents and are so to be honoured Esay 54.

What learne you farther by the fourth precept A. I learne that this commandement hath a promise of blessing to moue Christiane to bee more dutifull to their parents namely long life to the obedient Q. Seeing we doe see the wicked flourish and liue long Psal 37. and often the righteous to perish and liue not so long Esay 57. How can that promise be rightly approued or to the obedient applyed A. First we are taught that a wicked mans life is death Luk. 15. and the prolonging of his dayes in sinfull life is heaping of vengeance by his long life Rom. 2. Secondly we are taught that the life of a righteous man doth not end when his mortall life is ended for Abell being dead yet speaketh Heb. 11. And long life is not onely to liue in the bodie but to be aliue euer while the world lafteth by faith and famous memorie Q. Doe you conclude then that the wicked liue long to encrease their condemnation and Gods children haue a double blessing both of gray hayres and liuing holy liues A. I conclude that the wicked liue long by Gods permission to their further confusion and Gods obedient children both in speedie death and long life haue and iustly may haue consolation of this promised blessing Q. What is the sixt precept what learne you by it A. The commaundement is Thou shalt not kill And first I learne to refraine my tongue from lying and slandering from mocking quarrelling Mat. 5. 22.

Thou shalt not commit adultery wherein first I learne that as the act of adultery fornication and all vncleannesse of body is forbidden so all vnchast thoughts desires and vnpure words are also forbidden Mat. 5. 28. Secondly I learne that matrimonie is chiefly to be preserued and the wedding bed to be vndefiled and that whoremongers adulterers shall of God be iudged Heb. 13.

Q. What is sinne prescribed to be in the holy Scripture A. Euery transgression of Gods law either in thought word or deed is sinne 1. Ioh. 3. Q. What is the reward of sinne and transgression A. The reward of sinne and of vnbeleeuers is death and condemnation Rom. 6. 23. Q. Can any man so fulfill the law whereby he may auoyd eternall death A. The most iust est man is vnable by fulfilling the law to auoid eternall death Luk. 17. 10. Q. What benefite then bringeth the law to these that obey it A. The law is a glasse that by the sight of sinne humbleth the Christian Rom. 3. 19. And secondly the law is a schoolemaster to bring humbled Christians to beleeue in Christ and to be saued Gal. 3. 24. Q. Seeing by the workes of the law a man cannot be saned why according to the law should good workes be performed A. First good workes of the faithfull ruled by the lyne of Gods word are done to glorifie our heauenly Father Mat. 5. Secondly good workes that proceed from the faithfull are signes of sanctification and Pars prima worke hope of election 2. Pet. 1. 10.
