life and glory euerlasting but the vngodly to shame and b Iohn 5.29 death euerlasting IIII. This glorious and blessed resurrection of the godly dependeth vpon the resurrection of a 1. Cor. 15.12 c. 1. Thess 4.14 Christ as of their head to whom they as members must be conformed V. Christ then the head of the godly shal in the resurrection make our bodies a Phil. 5.21 1. Cor. 15.35 c. like to his glorious body VI. Againe Christ shall raise the dead at his glorious a 1. Thes 4.16 comming to iudgemeÌ„t with the shout of an Archangell and sound of a trumpet VII The dead being raised then in a moment as in the twinckling of an eye the liuing shal be a 1. Thess 4.16 and. 17. 1. Cor. 15.52 and 53. chaunged so that their bodies shal be made incorruptible VIII Then streight wayes all the godly shal be a 1. Thess 4.17 caught vp into the ayre to meete the Lord and so shall b Ibid. Math. 25.34 and 46. euer be with the Lord and with him enioy euerlasting happines IX On the contrary the vngodly shall together with the deuils be thrust down into a Math. 25.41 and 46. hell into the b Reue. 20.15 chap. 21. 8 lake that euer burneth with fire and brimstone and there shal be tormented X. Againe eternall life consisteth chiefly in the full feeling of Gods loue in the communion of his nature according to these sayings a Psal 17.15 I shal be saith Dauid satisfied with thine Image againe b Psal 16.18 in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy and pleasures at thy right hand for euermore And Peter affirmeth c 2. Pet. 1.4 that the faithfull are to this end called that they may be partakers of the diuine nature that is of the graces of God his wisedome righteousnesse holinesse and glory XI And albeit the blessed there shall want nothing pertinent to perfect felicitie because God shal be a 1. Cor. 15.28 all in all yet of that heauenly glory wherewith they shal be beautified there shal be certaine b 1. Cor. 15.41 and 42. degrees as there were also c 1. Cor. 12.4 degrees of their giftes in this life and as there shal be d Mat. 10.15 and chap. 11 20. c. degrees of torments amongst the daÌ„ned And aboue others excelling most shining shal be the glory of the teachers of the word that haue faithfully instructed the Church and so brought many to righteousnesse as e Dan. 12.3 Daniell speaketh XII This doctrine as it may iustly terrifie the vngodly so to the godly in al miseries and euen in death it is a 1. Thess 4. vers last most comfortable as they that know and by the grace of God stedfastly trust that their soule by death b Iohn 11.25 passeth into life and by the Angels is c Luk. 16.22 caried into Abrahams bosome that is into heaueÌ„ so to d Phil. 1.23 Christ their bodies although they rot and be eaten of wormes yet shall in due time rise again and be clothed with euerlasting glory CHAP. XIX Of the Church I. APHORISME THe Church is a a Mat 26.28 Iohn 17.20 multitude of men b Ephe. 1.13 Ro. 10.14.15 effectually c Rom. 8.30 called by the preaching of the d Rom. 1.7 1. Cor. 1.2 Gospell and therefore they be such as beleeue in Christ and e Ro. 10.9.10 professe his faith and f Rom. 1.7 1. Cor. 1.2 1. Cor. 2.2 Ephe. 1.1 serue God in the faith accounting in this number with the elect their g Act. 2.39 Gene. 17.7 1. Cor. 7.14 children and the children of hypocrites which as yet by their age are not capable of this calling II. The Church is either vniuersall which commonly the Greekes call Catholicke or particular III. The vniuersall or Catholicke Church is the whole multitude of them who from the beginning of the world haue beleeued in Christ that now do beleeue and shall beleeue to the worldes end Whereof one part now triumpheth a Ephe. 1. â— Coâ— â— in heauen to wiâ—â— the faithfull that are departed another part is militant on the earth that is the faithfull that yet liue And this again is diuided into particular Churches IIII. A Particular Church is a particular Congregation of the faithfull dwelling a 1. Cor. 12. 2. Cor. 1.1 Gal. 1.2 1. Thess 1.1 2. Thess 1.1 together in one place exercising them selues in Gods worship according to the direction of his word V. A Particular Church may be distinguished in the old and the new VI. By the old I meane that which was before Christes incarnation as the Church of the Iewes which then did excel as touching the forme of outward gouernmeÌ„t VII I call that the new Church which began after Christs comming especially after his ascension in heauen being gathered out of a Ephe. 2.13 diuerse nations and this is called b Act. 11.26 the Christian Church VIII Where the Church is a Rom. 2.28.29 c. 11.7 distinguished in the inuisible and visible it may not be thought that there be two Churches of diuerse kinds but one the same Church in diuerse respectes may be said to be visible and inuisible IX And it is called inuisible for that it can not be seene with mens eies for that faith by which the Church hath her being in Christ is placed in the a Rom. 2.29 hart which none but b Act. 1.24 God can see X. But it is said to be visible for that it hath certain markes which may be seene and whereby we may conclude assuredly that there is a Church people of God albeit a 1. Ioh. 2.19 Math. 13.3 d. Item 43. c. hypocrites be mingled with them who professe the same faith yet beleeue not in Iesus Christ XI These markes are the a Ephe. 2.20 Act. 2.24 pure preaching of the word and lawfull administration of the b 1. Cor. 1.13 1. Cor. 12.20 and 23. Mat. last v. 19 and 20. Mat. last v. 15. and 16. Sacraments XII For albeit in the Church of God holy a Mat. 18.15.16.17 1. Cor. 5.5 discipline be also required yet if here the gouernours of the Churches be slacke in their duties â˜œ the Church is not presently to be thought no Church as long as the two former markes remaine XIII And yet further I ad there may creep in some corruption both in a Cor. 3.12 doctrine and in the administratioÌ„ of the b 1. Cor. 11.12 Sacraments yet it shall not cease to be a Church as long as the c 1. Cor. 3.11 foundation is retained which is Christ or saluation by Christ alone XIIII It is the dutie of euery godly man to a Heb. 10.25 1. Cor. 11.20 ioyne himself to such a congregation or societie as he seeth to haue those markes and as

be without this holy Sacrament they be vnworthy of this holy communion for they be not in communion with God and his people 2 All vncleane beasts doggs swine I meane all in the Church of an vncleane beastly life such as the Apostle assureth vs caÌ„ not enter into the kingdome of heauen 1. Cor. 6.9 fornicators idolaters adulterers wantoÌ„s buggerers theeues couetous drunckards raylers extortioners a watch-word is added be not deceiued These be vnworthy our priuate feastes how much more to meet with vs our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ in this holy banquet Ignorant in the great grounds of Religion Heb. 6.1.2.3.4 5. 3 All ignorant people howsoeuer they may seeme harmelesse c. which caÌ„ not discerne the Lordes body 1. Cor. 11. v. 29. nor yet desire to discerne and know it No knowledge no faith no faith no loue no loue no affiance or trust in God no trust no feare no feare no humiliation want these graces or any of them no worship no accesse to God Heb. 11.6 Therefore these be vnworthy receiuers 4 Such as lightly account of the couenant whatsoeuer loue and zeale they pretend to the Sacramentes Such as despise the one are and must be prophane contemners of the other Psal 50.16 5 Some foolish wits pretend loue and great zeale to the word and yet neglect and contemne the holy Sacraments their contempt appeareth in the breach of the Lordes ordinance they seldome come to the Lordes Supper as they are bound to preach and celebrate with vs the blessed coÌ„memoration of the Lordes death vntill his comming againe 1. Cor. 11.24.25.26 6 All such as do not hunger for Christ Psal 32.5 Ephe. 1.15 Rom. 8.14.15 for they can not feed on Christ no knowledge of sinne no feeling of sinne no feeling of sinne no sorow for sinne no sorow for sinne no confession of sinne no confession of sinne no desire of grace no desire of grace no spirite of faith to receiue Christ no spirite of faith no spirite of adoption sanctification c. 7 All contentious brethren for this is a Sacrament of our vnitie badge of loue and a band of vnion and communion with Christ all his holy members 1. Cor. 10.2.16 Iohn 1.12 8 All vnbeleeuers for all such as want the precious faith haue no hand to receiue Christ they receiue onely as Augustin speaketh and as Iudas did panem DominuÌ„ the bread of the Lord not panem Domini the bread of life the Lord Christ 9 The faithfull also in regard of their frailtie weaknesse corruptions and manifold wants if they haue not duly truly and wisely examined humbled and so prepared theÌ„selues to meet Iesus Christ they be vnworthy and so they cause many plagues many afflictions and euils in this life vpoÌ„ their bodies soules that being iudged chastened here they may escape the condeÌ„nation of the world in the life to come 1. Cor. 11.28.30.31 And thus farre of vnworthy receiuers XXXIX That forme of administration of the Lords Supper is best which cometh nearest the simplicitie of the first institution is furthest from superstition wherin albeit there be some things indifferent yet the breaking of bread for the a Aphoris 6. causes before alledged may not be counted an indifferent thing XL. And albeit the Lord hath not appointed any certaine times for the celebration of the Lordes Supper yet reason so requireth that Christians haue it in often vse that they may ofteÌ„ remember the passion of Christ by this commemoration confirme their faith and stir vp themselues to prayse magnifie the goodnes of God in the worke of their redemptioÌ„ finally to increase the mutuall loue to testifie the same one to another coÌ„sidering the band thereof in the vnitie of the bodie of our Lord and Sauiour Iesus Christ CHAP. XXVII Of the Popish Masse I. APHORISME THe Papists faine that the Masse is a worke wherein the Masse-priest doth create or make his Christ of bread by buzzing or mumbling of these fiue words Hoc est enim corpus meum for this is my bodie And then offereth him to the Father as a sacrifice to expiate the sins of all quicke and dead for whom that Masse is celebrated II. This opinion of prophane Papistes is impious and blasphemous For first this reproch and disgrace is offered thereby vnto Christ that he is not the only a Heb. 5.6 and 7.24 Priest of the new Testament III. Againe this doctrine ouerthroweth the merite of Christs death as if the sins of all the faithfull were not perfectly expiate by that one a Heb. 9.12 and 10.12.14 sacrifice of Christes death IIII. Thirdly the Papistes by this assertion as much as lyeth in them do againe crucifie Christ in that they promise the remission of sinnes by the Masse and so set vp a new Testament and in that they say they offer vp Christ as an host or sacrifice vnto God For where there is a TestameÌ„t there must needs be the a Heb. 9.16 death of a testator where an host is it must be slaine V. Fourthly this opinion or assertion doth depriue vs of the benefit of Christs death that is the remission of sinnes for if sinnes be pardoned by the merite of the Masse then surely are they not pardoned by the merite of the a Mat. 26.28 death of Christ VI. Fiftly the Masse doth vtterly euert and take away the Lords Supper for it cannot stand with it For in the Supper the Lords purpose is to giue a blessing a Ioh. 6.32 vnto vs but in the Masse men purpose to offer vp satisfaction vnto God Againe in the Supper the Lord testifieth vnto vs that we are must be daily b Ioh. 6.57 quickened by the onely sacrifice of Christ but in the Masse they faine that Christs sacrifice cannot profite vs if it be not iterated euerie day Thirdly the Supper is celebrated by the c 1. Cor. 11.18 10.17 Mat. 26.27 whole congregation but the Masse is celebrated by the Priest onely VII Moreouer the arguments which Papists vse for the defence of the Masse are of no waight as these following Christ sayd in the institution of the Supper Do this therefore he commaunded his Apostles and their successours to offer vp or sacrifice his bodie vnto God For so this word facere to do it say they is vsed euerie where in holy a Exod 29. Num. 28. Scripture and so it is found also with b Apud Vergil eclog. 3. prophane writers But I say it is no good consequent that because that word is elsewhere so taken that therfore it is also so vsed in this place Next that it must haue here another significatioÌ„ it is euident both by the coherence osenteÌ„ces by the Apostle c 1. Cor. 11.26 Paules expossition that nothing else is signified but this Eate this bread and drinke ye of this cup. Againe those words were not spoken to the Apostles onely as Ministers of

effect contraries as that any thing at one time both be and be not for that he can not c Tit. 1.2 Heb. 6.18 lye nor denie d 2. Tim. 2 13 himselfe for this is against his nature And these propositions or sentences are meere contradictorie Christes bodie is a true bodie Christes body is not a true bodie but an infinite XXVI Neither yet shall this helpe the aduersaries to say that vnlesse it be graunted Christes bodie is euery where it will necessarily follow that it is seuered from the diuine nature which is euery where and whereunto it is personally vnited for although Christs body be not euery where but contained in one certaine place yet neuerthelesse it is euer personally vnited to the Deitie of the word for the personall vnion doth not make equall the humane nature with the diuine or change the properties of the diuine nature into the humane Christ is that word Iohn 1.1 that the humane nature may haue the same proprieties with the diuine but is such an vnioÌ„ as that therby the humane nature subsisteth in the person of the word so that it is as a part thereof neither hath it by it selfe or without the word any subsisting Therefore well spake the fathers in the Councell of Chalcedon The difference of natures in Christ is not taken away because of the vnion of them but rather by this doctrine of the vnion of natures we learne that the proprieties of both natures are kept as concurring and meeting together into one person or * Hypostasis substance XXVII Seeing therefore the bodie of Christ is finite and taken vp from earth to a Act. 19.10.11 heauen and must be contained there vntill the b Act. 3 21. 1. Cor. 11.26 day of iudgement it followeth that it is not in all places nor in the Sacramentall bread included XXVII And albeit we say that Christes body is in heauen and no where else according to the true proprietie of a body yet we tye it not to any certaine place in heauen but we iudge him to be there free as it beseemeth and is conuenient for that celestiall glory which to search into we deeme also to be a vaine and bold curiositie XXIX Whereby it is very manifest that they slaunder vs which say that we tye the body of Christ to a certaine place in heauen XXX And whereas yet they say that albeit Christs body be in heauen visible yet this letteth not but that it may be in the Sacramentall bread in an inuisible manner first they can not proue this by the Scriptures next they speake flat contradictories against themselues when as they say that Christ is in the bread really substantially corporally if that be so he must be there also in a visible manner For whatsoeuer humane bodie is any where substaÌ„tially the same is there also visibly For this visibilitie is a propertie which caÌ„ not be seuered from the substaunce of mans bodie For this cause Christ when he appeared after his resurrection to his Apostles desired to a Luk. 24.36.37.38.39 proue that his very body was there present substantially he reasoneth if so I may speake froÌ„ the * That which may be seen visibilitie and * That which may be touched felt palpabilitie thereof and so appealeth to the very senses of his Disciples that they might testifie the truth of his resurrection XXXI And whereas yet they make an other exception that it is vnmeet to submit the nature of a glorious body to the lawes of common nature that makes nothing to proue the inuisible presence of Christes bodie in the Sacramentall bread For the glorie a Luk. 23 36 c. Act 7.55.56 1.9.10.11 hath not abolished the truth of the bodie wherein the visibilitie thereof is contained Next this also is to be considered that in that first Supper of Christ with his Disciples that his body was not yet glorified and there is none other celebration of the Lordes Supper now then was at that time XXXII And albeit we deny the body of Christ to be included in the Sacramentall bread yet we say not that Christ is altogether in euery respect absent from his holy Sacrament or that the bread wine be but bare and emptie signes For Christ is truly present by the grace of his holy spirite where two or three a Mat. 18.20 are gathered togethe in his name and lifteth vp also euen to heauen vnto himselfe the hearts of the faithfull by the promise of the Gospell that they may contemplate there namely in the heauenly b Heb. 9.12.24 sanctuarie that his sacrifice which he offred for them vpon his Crosse and by faith feed thereupon vnto life euerlasting XXXIII Againe if the body of Christ be not in the Sacramentall bread it followeth also that we must not adore his body there but we must worship and adore him in heaueÌ„ where a Col. 3.1 he sitteth at the right hand of God the father whither also in elder ages in the celebration of the Lordes Supper the people were inuited when they were put in minde of the place with sursum corda lift vp your harts vnto the Lord. XXXIIII Neither must the Lordes Supper be a diuine action performed by the Minister of the Church alone but the Pastor must declare and lay open with a good voyce and in a plaine manner what the misterie thereof is vnto the people XXXV In like manner we must reiect priuate communions as when this Sacrament is administred to particular persons readie to dye without any congregation or companie of the faithfull to be partakers with him of that holie communion for the Apostle speaking of the celebration of the Supper saith a 1. Cor 11.20 when ye meet together againe for that this Sacrament is a speciall symbole of the communion of Saintes and this the Apostle meaneth where he saith for b 1. Cor. 10.17 we that are many are one bread and one body because we all are partakers of one bread XXXVI The worthinesse of the communicants consisteth in this that they a 1. Cor. 11.28 acknowledge and bewayle their owne vnworthinesse and by faith call vpon God that he will of his grace and mercy in Iesus Christ make them worthy XXXVII Yet to speake more distinctly plainly to the vnderstanding of the ignorant to the end they may come prepared and aduisedly to the holy Communion and for that the abuse of this holy Sacrament is one cause of all these iudgements which are past and haue consumed many and yet are still threatned against vs therefore the vnworthy receiuers which dishonour God hurt and hinder their owne saluation and prouoke Gods wrath against his Church and people they are these which follow XXXVIII 1 In the first place I set all Atheists meÌ„ without God without a Ephe. 2.12 Psal 14.1 Christ or any Religion meere Epicures in the world therefore ought they to
