to Hell How should we endeavour by our earnest intreaties to keep them from falling into that dismal place of torment 5. We should consider with what extreme folly they are possessed who mind only this present life that live as if there were no other life besides this or none else worth looking after 6. We should above all things endeavour to secure to our selves eternal life in Bliss and Happiness Every man and womans portion must be one of these two either everlasting life in Bliss or everlasting damnation And if we must be either eternally happy or eternally miserable methinks it should make us pass the time of our sojourning here in fear 1 Pet. 1.17 and to give diligence to make our calling and election sure 2 Pet. 1.10 And to quicken our diligence hereunto leet us consider these things 1. By nature we have no title to everlasting Bliss By nature we are children of Wrath Eph. 2.3 2. We must be united to Christ if ever we intend to obtain it God hath given eternal life and this life is in his Son He that hath the Son hath life he that hath not the Son hath not life 1 Joh. 5.11 12. 3. Holiness of heart and life here is necessary for the obtaining of eternal life in bliss and happiness hereafter 4. As Parents have been instrumental under God of conveying a temporal life to their Children So they should labour as much as possibly they can that they may be so religiously instructed and educated that they may at last obtain an eternal life in bliss and happiness Of Baptism A Sacrament * Vox Sacramentum non occurit in Scriptura quia est Latina Apud veterem Latinum interpretem est pro Graeco nomine 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Vox autem Graeca generaliter pro omni secreto minus generaliter pro secreto divino specialiori significatione pro secreto divino symbolis signis figurisque externis proposito ac representato In hac significatione respondet ei vox Latina Sacramentum quae deducta est a verbo Sacrare a scriptoribus Ecclesiasticis Latinis a Militia desumpta fuit in qua juramentum quo milites Duci obstringebantur vocabatur Sacramentum Vide Riveti Cathol Orthodox Sacramentum proprie stricte accipitur pro signo sigillo quo res coelestis declaratur obsignatur communicatur is an outward and visible rite instituted by Christ to signifie the benefits of his death and passion and to seal and confirm the promises of Salvation to those who perform the conditions required of them There are two Sacraments of the new Conant or or new Testament viz. 1. Baptism 2. The Supper of the Lord. Being to speak here of Baptism I shall first distinguish of the several kinds of Baptism 1. There is Baptismus fluminis sive aquae the Baptism of water John 1.33 He that sent me to baptize with water the same said unto me upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and remaining on him the same is he that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost 2. Flaminis sive Spiritus The Baptism of the Holy Ghost Mat. 3.11 I baptize you with water saies John Baptist but he that cometh after me shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost 3. Sanguinis sive Martyrii The Baptism of Sufferings Mat. 20.22 Are ye able sayes our Saviour to the sons of Zebedee to drink of the Cup that I shall drink of and to be Baptized with the Baptism that I am to be Baptized with that is are ye able to partake with me in those sufferings and afflictions which I am shortly to undergo I am to speak of the first of these viz. The Baptism of water Concerning which that I may proceed Methodically I shall speak 1. Of the Institution of it 2. Of the Nature of it 3. Of the excellent uses and ends of it 4. I shall inquire who are the persons that ought to be Baptized 5. Whether Baptism be of absolute necessity to Salvation 6. What improvement those who were baptized in their infancy ought to make of their Baptism when they are grown up and come to years of understanding 7. What are the particular duties of Christian Parents towards their infant Seed and Children 1. I begin with the first The institution 'T is God only who hath authority to appoint Sacraments in the Church 'T is his divine institution which makes a Sacrament The whole Church cannot do it And John 1.33 We read that John Baptist had commission to Baptize with water He that sent me to Baptize with water the same said unto me c. 2. Christ gave Commission to his Apostles in the first year of his publick Ministry to baptize else 't is not imaginable they would have done it John 3.22 After these things came Jesus and his Disciples into the land of Judea and there he tarried with them and baptized that is by the hands of his Apostles for Jesus himself baptized not but his Disciples John 4.12 3. After his Resurrection he enlarged the Commission of his Apostles Matth. 28.19 Go ye therefore and teach all Nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost Here he prescribes the form they should use in the administration of Baptism injoyning them to baptize in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost And the words in Mark 16.16 He that believes and is baptized shall be saved but he that believeth not shall be damned seem to be an addition to those in Matth. 28. and are not any express direction as to the admitting Infants or not admitting them but a direction how they should go and disciple the Heathen Nations by preaching the Gospel to them and when they had converted any to Christianity they should baptize them and so bring them into Covenant with God and when the Parents were in Covenant their Children could not fail to be so also as God willing we shall shew hereafter 2. We come to consider the Nature of Baptism Baptism in its general notion is an outward visible sign and representation of inward and spiritual blessings and benefits conveyed and made over by Christ unto the persons baptized they performing the conditions required of them In Baptism there are two parts 1. The Outward 2. The Inward In the outward part there are three things considerable 1. The outward Element Water 2. The Action of applying the water by sprinkling or dipping 3. The form of administring or applying the water viz. in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost The quantity of water which is to be used is not limited by the holy Scriptures Sprinkling * Imm●rsio non est de necessitate baptismi quum non in ea posita sit mysterii hujus vis efficacia Causab in Mat. C. 3. Ablutio est de necessitate baptismi Dom. Soto is as significant as to the main ends of Baptism as dipping Therefore the blood of Christ which is signified

their Fathers were all servants in Egypt and as that night God delivered them c. And tells particularly of the wonders done in Egypt and the manner of their deliverance saying to this purpose This is the Passover which we celebrate because the Lord passed over the houses of our Fathers in Egypt therefore we are bound to give thanks to praise to laud and glorify him and sing Hallelujahs to him c. This kind of declaration or shewing forth the occasion of the Passover they called Haggadah Hence the Apostle may be supposed to have borrowed his phrase As oft as ye eat this bread and drink this Cup ye declare or set forth the Lords death 1 Cor. 11.26 This annunciation or shewing forth to their Children the Lords wonderful goodness and mercy to them we find commanded Exod. 12.26 27. And it shall come to pass when your children shall say unto you what mean you by this service That ye shall say it is the Sacrifice of the Lords Passover who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses 6. Then he takes that part of the unlevened cake that was before reserved and blessing it and giving thanks for it as before he distributes to every one a piece of it to eat with the Paschal Lamb of which each person present was bound to eat as much as the quantity of an Olive at least The breaking of bread therefore at which our Saviour did institute the commemoration of his body seems to be this second breaking of bread viz. in time of Supper after which nothing more was to be eaten that night For 't is said 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 as they were eating or towards the end of the Supper Jesus took bread and blessed it and brake it and gave it to his Disciples saying take eat this is my body Mat. 26.26 7. All this done they drink up the third Cup called the Cup of blessing or thanksgiving after meat Paul calls it by this very name 1 Cor. 10.16 The Cup of blessing which we bless is it not the Communion of the blood of Christ c. And this third Cup which was after supper that is after they had done eating and was the conclusion of the Supper was the Cup which our Saviour applied to a new spiritual signification And having instituted it into an Eucharistical Cup bad them drink all of it So that now he ordaines bread to be a representation of his body henceforward in the same manner as the Paschal Lamb had been the representation of his body before and the cup to be the New Testament in his blood now as the blood of bullocks had been the Old Testament in his blood before Exod. 24.8 And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people and said behold the blood of the Covenant which the Lord hath made with you c. After this they sang the Hallelujah or Hymn or Psalm of Praise according to Custom And accordingly our Saviour and his Apostles did sing a hymn after the Paschal Supper before they departed So that supposing these Rites to be then in use among the Jews as their own writers tell us it will from thence appear that the bread and wine which our Saviour distributed at his last Passover and appointed to signifie and represent his body and blood were rites within the compass of it and belonging to it only applied by him now to a new evangelical use and signification And he dealt no otherwise in this Sacrament than he did before in that other of Baptism which he seems to have founded upon the old rite in use among the Jews of purification by water So that our Saviour in instituting both Sacaments of the new Testament seems to have taken the old rites of the Jews and to have ordained and advanced them to a new evangelical use and mystical signification and so to have put as one sayes a new superscription upon the old metal There is one thing more that it will not be amiss here to take notice of viz. That from the Jewish custom of having a feast at the end of their Sacrifices the Christians of the Primitive Church instituted their Agapae or love feasts And they of the Church of Corinth did much imitate the Jewish Paschal rites in receiving of the Lords Supper For they had a Supper before in which they were not always very temperate as appears 1. Cor. 11. And at the conclusion of this Supper they had the bread and wine of the Lords Supper administred as the Jews at the end of their Paschal Supper had the unlevened bread and the Cup of blessing Having spoken thus much of the Passover and the rites belonging to it I now come to speak of the Lords Supper which succeeds it And here I shall treat 1. Of the Author of it 2. Of the time when it was instituted 3. Of the Nature of it 4. Of the ends for which it was instituted 1. Christ himself is the Author of it We have before shewn how Christ eating the Paschal Supper with his Disciples who were Jews took some of the Paschal cheer and provisions and made them the materials of this blessed Sacrament 'T is Christ who was the Author of it 'T is he who is the King and Soveraign of his Church 'T is he who appoints therein his Officers Laws and Ordinances He is the Mediator of the new Covenant and therefore appoints the tokens and seals of it Divine institution only makes a Sacrament the whole Church cannot do it 2. Let us consider the time in which it was instituted viz. in the same night in which he was betrayed by Judas 1 Cor. 11.23 Observe Christs great love to his Church He saw his death approaching yet he bestows now a great favour on mankind when he sees he shall receive the hardest measure from them O that the same mind were in us that was in Christ Jesus Judas had resolved beforehand to betray him and accordingly had agreed with the Chief-Priests and Council of the Jews yet with this wicked resolution he comes to eat the Passover with him Sins of purpose and resolution are most dangerous We should look not only on Judas's sin in betraying his Master but on his fixed intention and resolution to do it 'T is a dangerous thing to come to this Sacrament with an intent to go on in any known sin 3. Let us consider the nature of this Sacrament wherein three things are to be spoken to 1. The outward Ordinance or outward signs 2. The inward and Spiritual mysteries thereby signified 3. The Command for the observing this Ordinance 1. The outward Ordinance or Sacrament properly so called consists 1. Of certain Elements or materials viz. Bread and Wine 2. Of sundry Rites and Sacramental actions appertaining thereunto 1. Our Saviour took bread and gave thanks and so also the Cup. He blessed the Bread and the Wine severally as the Jews
