his sauing merits I. VVhat is our eating of the Bread and drinking of the VVine to cause vs to meditate on B. Euen vpon that most néere and streight vnion thereby signified that is betwéene Christ Iesus our selues and euery true beléeuer that hee is no lesse néerely and straightly ioyned to vs and we to him as also to one another then the Bread and Wine which we receiue 1 Cor. 10.16.17 and 12.12 13. eate and drinke are to our bodies I. What duties are wee to performe after wee haue receiued this Sacrament B. We ought euery one according to our abilitie chéerefully and willingly to consecrate some portion of that which God hath blessed vs with 1 Cor. 16.2 Nehem. 8.10 Heb 13.16 towards the reliefe of our poore and niedy Brethren among vs. I. Is the receiuing of this Sacrament a thing arbitrary or indifferent so as wee may communicate or not at our owne pleasures B. No but all such as are baptized being of yéeres and fitnesse to examine and prepare themselues Mar. 26.26.27 1 Cor. 11.24.25 and not hauing any iust impediment are bound to partake of it I. How may that appeare B. First because God hath expressely inioyned and commanded it Luk. 22.19.20 2. Chron. 30.8 confer with the verses preced Secondly it is a part of his publike diuine worship Thirdly the neglect of it is a very heynous and grieuous sinne Numb 9.13 Gen. 17.19 Ex. 4.24.25.26 greatly prouoking the wrath of God against such as are guilty of it Fourthly it is one of the meanes appointed of God to preserue cherish and increase in vs our faith and other spirituall graces Rom. 4.11 1 Cor. 10.16 11.24.25.26 Fiftly this Sacrament is one of the badges and cognisances and as it were the armes of our Lord and Master Iesus Christ by receiuing whereof his pleasure is that wee should make publike profession of being his Disciples and Seruants Exo. 12.43 44. Gen. 17.11 c. Acts 2.41.42 Acts 20.7 and bee knowne and distinguished from all other Sects and professions in the world I. How oft are wee to celebrate and partake of the Lords Supper B. We may not content our selues to come to it at Easter or once or twice in the yéere as if that were sufficient but we must receiue it as often as fit opportunitie is offered and as with conueniencie we may I. VVhy are wee to receiue it often B. First because our Sauiour Christ commands the frequent vse of it 1 Cor. 11.25 Acts 2.41.42 and 20.7 1 Cor. 11.26 Secondly the Apostles did often administer it Thirdly it was the constant practice of the Christian Churches long after the Apostles time to communicate often of some as often as they met together to heare the Word of God of some euery Lords day of some euery day in the weeke of all many times in the yeere Fourthly because our Sauiour Christ departing this world inioyned vs to celebrate this Sacrament Luk. 22.19 1 Cor. 11.24.29 in remembrance and in testimonie of our vnfayned thankfulnesse for his bitter death and passion which hee endured for our sinnes It must néedes bee therefore horrible ingratitude not to doe it often Fiftly because it is a meanes ordayned of God for the preseruing Rom. 4.11 1 Cor. 10.16 nourishing and increasing of the spirituall life of our soules and the sanctifying graces of the holy Ghost euen as hee hath ordained his creatures for preseruation and nourishment of our corporall life As therefore wee doe often feede vpon these so ought wee in like manner often to rec●iue the other Sixtly to neglect receiuing of it when it is administred in that congregation whereof we are members vnlesse by sicknesse or some other necessary impediment we be hindered is a fearefull contempt of Gods sacred ordinances and seales of grace as also of those inualuable benefits which in the same are proffered and confirmed vnto vs Gen. 17.14 Num. 9.13 1 Cor. 10 16. and 11.24.25 which cannot be but a most hainous sinne and greatly incense the wrath of God against vs. I. I will propound but one question more vnto you concerning this Sacrament and so passe from it VVhat thinke you may we with comfort of conscience and benefit to our soules receiue this Sacrament with those congregations wherin notorious sinners and scandalous impenitent liuers are permitted to communicate and so as not to be partakers of their sinnes B. Doubtles we may in as much as euery one is inioyned to examine himselfe 1 Cor. 11.28 and not others when hee comes to this blessed banquet Secondly because the sinne and penalty of vnworthy receiuing is limited and appropriated by God 1 Cor. 11.29 only to the persons selfe vnworthily communicating Thirdly because the Esa 1 2 3 c. Iere. 6.13 c. and 8.10 c. and 5.1 Hos 4.1 2. read obserue the other Prophets also Prophets the g Luk. 24.53 Act. 2.46 3.1 Apostles yea our most innocent and holy h Luk. 4.16 and 19.47 22.53 Iohn 18.20 Sauiour himselfe for whom it was impossible to erre or sin liuing in most prophane godlesse and irreligious times when all wickednesse and impietie reigned and abounded among all sorts of men yet none of them did separate from or forsake the assemblies of the people but ioyned euen with the vngodly themselues in the publike exercises of Religion and the commanded duties of Gods worship Of the state of Man after this life I.

You haue told mee what becomes of the soules of men tel me likewise how it fares with their bodies after death B. The bodies of all sorts of men both godly and wicked returne to the dust out of which they were made Eccle. 12.9 Gen. 3.19 Of the Resurrection I. BVt shall they for euer abide in this estate B. No but they shall all of them be raised a●aine out of their graues Dan. 12 2. Iohn 5.28.29 1 Cor. 15. to life and be reunited to their soules neuer to be seuered more I. How shall they be raised B.

What profit or benefit doth there arise from this kind of teaching B. The benefit which may bee reaped hereby is very great and manifold 1 Pet. 3.15 For first it will inable vs to giue a ready answer to any man that shall aske vs a reason of our Faith Heb. 5.12 Secondly it will greatly helpe vs to vnderstand remember and profit by the Scriptures Our people for the most part are rude and vncatechised and therefore they profit little or nothing by Sermons A Sermon to such persons is like a great loafe ser before a Childe M.

Pro. 22.6 Matth. 22.29 Acts 3.17 Rom 3.11.12 Ephes 4.17 18 19. it is a soueraigne preseruatiue against all infection of errour impietie and prophanenesse and a most effectuall meanes to maintaine the puritie of sound Doctrine I. Is this exercise necessary onely for children and youth B. No but also for men of yeeres and aged persons who either through their f Deut. 20.18 19. c. owne default in their youth or g Pro 22.6 Ephes 6.4 Gen. 18 19.

Is it not therefore the duty of euery Minister diligently to vse this holy exercise among his people as well as Preaching B. Yes questionlesse and greatly it is to be wished that i Gal. 6.6 1 Cor. 3.2 Heb. 5.12 6.1 al of that sacred function would make conscience constantly so to doe the neglect hereof being one maine principal reason why many of rare and most worthy gifts though they preach often and with great zeale yet sée little or not fruit of al their trauell for who can erect a building where k Luk. 6.48.49 14.29 1 Cor. 3.10 the foundation vpon which it should stand is not first firmly layd I.

Ps 14.1 90.2 Esay 41.4 That there is euer hath bin and euer shall bee a God is a thing so conspicuously apparant that it ought not once to bee called into question especially among Christians and the i Psal 79 6.

You say true Howbeit because there haue k Diagoras Theodorus Cyrenaeus beene and yet are many such Monsters as feare not to deny it let mee heare what arguments you could bring were you to deale with such an one to conuince him of this truth B. This most glorious frame of heauen and earth Iob 12.7 8 9. Psal 19.1 Rom. 1.20 with the innumerable multitudes of admirable creatures in them both doth most euidently euince against all the Atheists in the world that there must néedes be some intelligent nature of infinite wisedome and power which is God from and by whom all these things should exist For it were most absurd and absonous from reason to thinke that they either came by chance could create themselues or were from euerlasting Secondly Iob 38.5 6 7 8 c.

Dan. 4.31 32 33. Acts 12.23 and that such many times as doe so liuely resemble the sinnes whereby they haue offended as that they may bee as it were in Capitall letters read in their plagues is also an vndoubted argument of a Deitie ruling the world and taking notice of the actions done by men Gen. 4.14 Dan. 5.5 6.

Fiftly the insufferable terrors of conscience those hellish twitchings and tortures wherewith the wicked of this world euen those of highest place and such as haue therefore no cause to feare any man whatsoeuer are often tormented and racked for their crimes euen in secret committed This must needes bee an argument inuincible to prooue the certainty of a God before whose tribunall they must one day bee conuented to answer and receiue sentence of deserued punishment for their wickednesse I.
