Acts 1. 26. This being done the Pastor commeth downe out of the Pulpit and he with the Presbytery layeth their hands on his head and prayeth that God would blesse him as the Apostles did Acts 6. 6. The Apostles prayed and laid their hands on them Acts 13. 3. They prayed and laid their hands on them 1 Tim. 4. 14. 1 Tim. 5. 22. all being done the Eldership of the Congregation give him the right hand of fellowship as Gal. 2. 9. The action is closed with thanksgiving as all grave actions should be 1 Thes. 5. 18. And this order in substance is kept in ordaining Doctors Elders and Deacons Here are no popish toyes which Papists use in ordination no man is obtruded upon the flocke against their consent and no man appointed a Pastor but of a certaine flocke as Acts 20. 28. 1 Pet. 5. 2. of the Church which receiveth the childe in her fellowship as Rom 6. 3 4 5. 1 Pet. 4. 20 21. The presenter of the childe is the father or some friend if he be dead or absent because the childe is received in the Covenant because the fathers are within the Covenant and so sealed with the same seale of the Covenant Acts 2. 37 38 Rom. 11. 14. Gen. 17. 7 8. 9 10. and the action is closed with thanksgiving as all grave but especially actions of Gods worship should be ended 1 Chron. 16. 7 8 9. and as the other Sacrament is closed Mat. 26. 30. 6. ARTICLE The Lords Supper THese onely are admitted to the Lords Supper who in the judgement of charity have tryed and examined themselvess 1 Cor. 11. 28. The prophane and scandalus are debarred from this Table as Mat. 7 6. Psal. 50. v. 16 17. This Sacrament requiring a self-examination going before 1 Cor. 11. 28. Therefore a Sermon of preparation is preached the day before even as Christ prepared and dieted his guests with heavenly Sermons preceding the action as is cleare Luke 22. 14 15. Marke 14. 18 19 20. Mat. 26. 21 22 23. Iohn 13. v. 13 14 15 16. A Table is covered not an Altar erected as is Luke 22. 21. Iohn 13. 28. A Sermon for the pupose in hand is preached before as Christ doth Joh. 13. 18 19 20. Mat. 26. 22 23. as a Sermon goeth before Baptisme Acts 8. 35 39. Acts 19. 4 5 6. The banqueters sit downe at Table even as Iesus sate downe with the twelve Disciples as is Mat. 26. v. 20. and v. 28. Marke 14. v. 18. and 22. the Lord honouring them with Table-honour with himselfe as is cleare Luke 22. 21. Iohn 13. 24 28. The Pastor taketh the bread and before he breake it he giveth thanks and prayeth for the blessing of the Elements to the end and use appointed by Christ even as Christ did Mat. 26. 26 and thereafter taketh the bread rehearseth the words of the institution and breaketh the bread and giveth to the banqueters and they divide it amongst them at Christs commandement as also he taketh the cup and saith drinke ye all of this this is the New Testament c. as Christ did Mat. 26. 26 27. Marke 14. 22 23. Luke 22. 19 20. v. 17. In the meane time while the people are eating and drinking the Pastor is speaking of Christs love in dying for man of the Lords death of faith required in annuntiating the Lords death till he come againe even as Christ all the while entertained his guests with heavenly Sermons as is cleare Mat. 26. 28 29. Marke 14. 25. Luke 22. 21 2● Iohn 13. and having done they sing a Psalme as Christ and his Disciples did Mat. 6. 28. Mar. 14 26 all the while Elders in reverend and decent manner attend the service of the Table as the banquet requireth for that some serve at that Supper is gathered from Mat. 26. 19. Marke 14. 15. where mention is made of a large upper roome furnished and prepared which is a cleare warrant for a large Table a cleane and faire Table-cloth Basons Cups and vessels decent and comely for that service and from Christ his guirding himselfe with a towell and washing their feet and standing as a servant Iohn 13. 4 5 6.

ARTICLE Publike Fasting THe Fast is indicted eight dayes before and the causes laid open for preparing of the people for humiliation as Ioel 2. 1 2 3. Isa. 22. 12 13. We have no anniversarie and set Fasts or Feasts either because God himselfe by his judgement imminent or already inflicted or by permitting his people to follow their owne wayes calleth to fasting and mourning Isa. 22. 13 Joel 2. 1 2 3 4 5 6 c. and so by his mercies and wonderfull deliverances calleth to extraordinary joy of thanksgiving Psal. 118. 24. The doctrine of the Law is preached as Ioel 2. and Isa 58. and the Fast observed with abstinence from meat and drinke and carnall and ordinary pleasures Ioel 2. 16. We thinke to deny the lawfulnesse of publike fasting on the Lords day as if the Christian Sabbath were a day onely of spirituall feasting and rejoycing because that day Christ ended the worke of redemption and second Creation is a wronging of the Christian Sabbath which is ordained for the whole publike worship of God joying sorrowing for sinne learning Gods will in all and every point as the Jewish Sabbath was not ordained onely for Meditation on the worke of Creation but for worships of all kinde The worship of this day Acts 20. 7. is as large as preaching and being in the Spirit on the Lords day and seeing the
