Or, A treatise of the sacraments fully declared out of the word of God Wherein the truth it selfe is proued, the doctrine of the reformed churches maintained, and the errors of the churches of Rome are euidently conuinced: by pervsing wherof the discreet reader may easily perceiue, the weak and vnstable grounds of the Roman religion, and the iust causes of our lawfull separation. Diuided into three bookes: 1. Of the sacraments in generall. 2. Of Baptisme. 3. Of the Lords Supper.

vnworthinesse in receiuing the Supper Chap. 16. Of the knowledge of God the first part of examination AS we haue waighed the necessity of preparing and examining our selues so let vs consider the manner how it is to be performed Such as will in an holy manner prepare themselues to celebrate the Lords Supper to the glory of God and comfort of their owne soules must diligently acquaint themselues with these 4. pointes with knowledge faith repentance and reconciliation to those whom they haue offended It is required of all persons that come to this Sacrament to know the grounds of religion and vnderstande the doctrine of the sacramentes Secondly to beleeue in christ and to looke for saluation in him alone inasmuch as there is no other name vnder heauen by which we must be saued So then we must come with faith which is the hand to apprehend christ Thirdly to abhorre and detest our sins to hate them with an vnfained hatred as our deadly and most dangerous enemies and to haue godly sorrow for them which may cause repentance not to be repented off Lastly to loue our bretheren truely and sincerly yea euen our enemies If we find not these things in our selues we must carefully vse al holy meanes appointed for this purpose to begin them in vs otherwise our estate will proue to be fearefull and dangerous We must with al sincerity conscience and zcale vse prayer the word read and preached conference meditation and such like helpes as may further them in vs. If we do find them in vs though feeble and in great want and weakenesse we are not to abstaine from the sacrment but to come thereunto to seeke strength of faith encrease of obedience Wherfore our sauiour calleth such vnto him come to me all ye that are weary and sore laden and I will ease you take my yoke on you and ye shall find rest vpon your soules for my yoake is easie and my burden is light And Chap 12. A brused reede shall he not breake and smoking flaxe shall he not quench till he bring forth iudgment vnto victory Touching the first we are to obserue that such as wil come aright to the lords Supper must haue the knowledge of Gods word which is the foundation and ground-work of faith We must know what to beleeue and must learne the doctrine of saluation out of the Scripture Our Sauiour Christ in that heauenly prayer which he made a little before his passion vseth these words to his father This is eternall life to know thee to be the onely very God and whom thou hast sent Iesus Christ. We must know how miserable all men are of themselues that we are seperated from God the children of wrath by nature as wel as others and the very firebrands of hel They that want this knoledge cannot iudge aright of the partes and vses of this Sacrament nor desire this heavenly meate which nourisheth to eternall life So then knowledge must necessarily go before faith for it is the nature of faith to beleeue that which it knoweth and therefore where there is small knowledge there is a little faith and where there is no knowledg ther can be no faith according to the doctrine of the Apostle Roman 10. Faith commeth by hearing and hearing by the word of God The knowledge required of vs when we approach to this Sacrament standeth in these two pointes first in the knowledge of God Secondly in the knowledge of our selues In these two braunches standeth the first part of examinarion And these two pointes are so neerely ioyned and knit together that no man can throroughly know God vnlesse he know himselfe and no man can haue the perfect knowledge of himselfe except he know God in whom he liueth moueth and hath his being Vnder these two heads many particular points are containd necessary to be known of those that offer themselues to bee partakers of this sacrament First that there is onely one God that hath made himselfe knowne in three persons the Father the sonne and the Holy-ghost Secondly that God made man and all other creatures good and gouerneth all thinges well Thirdly man did fall through the entisement of the Deuill and his own wilful disobedience in breaking the commandements of God Fourthly there are ten commaundements diuided into two tables where of the foure first commaundements concern our duties to God the sixe last our dutyes toward our neighbour Fiftly we cannot keepe these commandements nor any one of them but we breake them daily in motion in thought in worde and in deede the breache where of deserueth the cursse of God that is all miseries in this life death in the ende of this life and Hell fire after this life Sixtly there is no meanes or remedy in ourselues or in any creature but onely in Iesus Christ the eternal son of god who is god man God that he might ouercom death and man that he might die for our sins He hath pacified gods wrath fulfild the righteousnes of that law sanctified our nature adopted vs to be the children of god and maketh our duties though weake acceptable to his father Seuenthly all haue not deliuerance by him but onely such as beleue in Christ whose obedience and righteousnes is made ours by a liuely faith whereby we are perswaded that through him our sinnes are forgiuen and wee made the children of God Eightly faith is a gifte of God applying Christ and al his merits particularly to our selues and teaching that he is a Sauiour vnto vs. Ninthly beeing saued by christ thrugh faith we may not liue as we list this vnspeakeable mercy teacheth vs to deny all vngodlinesse and all worldly and sinfulllusts to to liue soberly righteously and godly in this present euill world and to walk in newnes of life because no vnrighteous person shal enter into the kingdome of heauen Tenthly this faith which bringeth forth a reformed life is wrought in our heartes by the Holy-ghoaste through the preaching of the word being truely expounded and profitably applyed with doctrin confutation exhortation correction reformation and consolation and it is encreased besides by reading praying and receiuing of the sacraments Eleuenthly touching prayer we haue a perfect platforme left vs by Christ in the Gospell which containeth sixe petitions the three firste concerning the glorie of God and the three last concerning the necessities of our owne bodies and soules 12. the sacraments are another help to strengthen and increase faith which are outward signes and seales ordained of God to assure vs that Christ all his sauing graces are giuen vnto vs. These are two in number Baptisme the Sacrament of our regeneration and new birth assureth vs by the washing of water that our sins are for giuen by the blood of Christ and wee borne a new to god The Lords supper assureth vs that by bread and wine giuen and receiued according to gods ordinance

bridegroome shall be taken from them and then they shal fast But if he were remainning on the earth and contained in the pixe the bridegroome could not nor would not be taken away And the same Euangehst chap. 26. saith Ye haue the poore alwaies with you but me ye shal not haue alwaies Like wise Iohn 13. When Iesus knew that hie houre was come that he should depart out of this world vnto the father heeriseth from supper and chap. 14. I goe to prepare a place for you but I wil come againe if I go away to prepare a place for you I will receiue you vnto my selfe that where I am there may ye be also and verse 28 ye haue heard how I said vnto you I go awaie and will come vnto you And chap. 17. Now I am no more in the world but these are in the world and I come to thee Againe act 1. ye men of Galile why stand re gazing into heauen this Iesus which is taken vp from you into heauen shal so come as ye haue seene him go into heauen If then Christ according to his humane nature be not on earth how can his 〈◊〉 body be on euerie altar how can they eat him with their 〈◊〉 how can they swallow him downe their throat Ninthlie such an eating and 〈◊〉 of the bodie and blood of christ must be holden as is profitable and comfortable to the receiuers for nothing is more 〈◊〉 and fruitfull then these being rightlie receiued 〈◊〉 thereby remission of sinnes assured and eternall glory sealed vp vnto vs. But no fruite to our faith can come vnto vs by this kind of bodilie eating the bodie carnall drinking the blood of christ for wicked men haue as great a portion in this as the godly Nay by their owne doctrin it may be eaten of birds of beasts of Mice of Dogs of hogs of vermine to whom no profit no comfort no benefit can come whereas God woulde haue the flesh of the sonne of man to be eaten of those to whom it shal be auailable to life and saluation I am the liuing bread which came downe from heauen if any man eat of this bread he shall liue for euer and the bread that I will giue is my flesh which I wil giue for the life of the world Tenthly nothing can be more grosse barbarous or inhumane then to deuour mans flesh and to drinke mans blood What doth more transforme men into sauage and 〈◊〉 beasts Nay worse then beastes which deuour not their owne kind what is more contrarie to the purenes holines of Gods law then this The words of the Lord are pure words as the siluer tryed in a furnace of earth fined seuen fold The feare of the Lord is clean the law of God is spirituall holy iust and good And the gospell bringeth saluation to all degrees and teacheth vs that we should deny all vngodlines and worldly Iustes and that we should liue soberly righteously and godly in this present world But what can be more repugnant to godlines sobernes and righteousnes then to teare wirh the teeth and iawes mans flesh and to drink his blood from which the Capernaits abhorred what more crosseth the Religion of Christ the law of god and the light of nature then mā to deuour man and the bowels of one to be in the bowels of another And are not their stomackes strong to digest this meat did not god in the law command to abstain frō eating the blood of beasts and from strangled did not the Apostles for a time renue it amōg the christiās in respect of the weaknes of the Iews because Moses was read in their sinagogue euer saboth day to what 〈◊〉 should this be done if the church had tasted the blood of ch with their mouth or swallowed his body in their bellies And do not the Scythians and al the gentiles that are not vtterly voide of 〈◊〉 abstain from mans blood and 〈◊〉 deuouring his flesh wherefore these men are worse then the Scithians barbariās and Gentiles yea worse then the Canibals Indies that eat their enimies but these deuour ch whom they cal their L. and maist like Actcons houndes to compare one fable with another onely heer ly the differences they deuourd their Lord vnder the shape of a stag or Hart they eat their maist vnder the formes of bread and wine these fastned their mouth vpon their maister because they thoght him absent and not present vnder that shape they openly confesse their maister to be present and yet 〈◊〉 professe to deuour him with their iawes and swallow him in their stomacks wherefore these men are more cruell Eleuenthly if Christ be present in the Sacramant bodily and carnally in what body shall he be present Whether in his glorified body as he is in the heauens or in his mortall body as he was vpon the earth In one of these he must be present necessarily if he be present fleshly Whatsoeuer they answer they are taken onboth hands are stroken downe as with a sword that hath two edges Dare they saie he is thus present in his mortall bodie This cannot be For it is certaine he hath not now a mortall bodie but a glorified bodie this corruptible hath put on in corruption this mortall hath put on immortality and death is swallowed vp in victory This the Apostle confirmeth this the Scripture teacheth this Christian faith beleeueh Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more death hath no more dominion ouer him For in that he dyed he dyed once to sinne but in that he liueth he liueth to God Like wise Heb. 7. 25 This man because he endureth euer hath a priesthood which cannot passe from one to another seeing he euer hueth to make intercession for them And chapter 9. of the same Epistle he is entred into heauen not that he should offer himselfe often but he was once offered to take away the sins of many These testimonies duly considered he cannot be present in a mortal body What then will they be helped to say he is present in his glorified body Then he cannot nowe be present in the sacrament of the supper as he was present to the Apostles sitting at the table with them and preaching vnto them of his death he cannot be present in the same body that he did deliuer to his Disciples in the institution of his last supper For the body of Christ was then mortall and not glorified then he had not suffered death vpon the Crosle he was not risen and ascended into the heauens to sit at the right hand of his father so that they must seeke another place then these wordes of Christ This is my body this is my blood to build their reall presence and transubstantiation for they pointed out his mortall body because his body was not yet glorified when the sacrament was instituted Besides what a uniserable glorified body should this be to be

name of the father and of the sonne and of the holy ghost should alwaies be in our eares euen vntill the last gasp and by them we ought to be assured of the ful forgiuensse of our offences against God For the blood of Christ by which we are once washed can neuer be drawne dry but is euer fresh full of force and strength to the continuall clensing of our filthinesse and iniquities so that they neuer come into the sight of God neither are imputed vnto vs. Wherefore it is like vnto a sealed charter whereby is confirmed that all our sinnes are blotted out We are all taught by our baptisme that none of the enemies of our saluation shall be able to lay any sinne to our charge Art thou tempted to thinke that Christs blood was not shed for thee That thy transgressions are not pardoned That thou shalt be brought to iudgement for them Doth Sathan 〈◊〉 thy tender conscience with them thou maist as well doubt that thou wast not baptized and washed with Water as doubt thy sinnes are not blotted out thou maist as well surnize thou perishedst in the water as suppose thou shalt perish in thy wickednesse the floods where of howsoeuer they go ouer thy head yet shall not be able to preuaile against thee sully and ouercome thee sinally This ouer throweth the false doctrin of the false church of Rome the Mother of abhominations which teacheth that by the grace of Christ receiued in baptisme all our sins going before it are rased and blotted out and leaueth nothing in the party baptized that hath the name and nature of sinne But albeit our sinnes be freely and fully forgiuen for Christs sake pardoned and not imputed coucred and remembred no more yet the stain blot and remnants of sinne remaine though not raigne in our flesh so long as we liue in this world which in the end of our daies togither with the mortality and corruptions of our bodies shall be taken away and abolished Indeede the scripture teacheth that Christs blood clenseth washeth and taketh away sinne Ioh. 1. 29. Behold the Lambe of God which taketh away the sin of the world but this is not by an actuall purging of vs from all corruption but in freely acquiting and truely discharing vs from the guilt offence and punishment before God as Psal. 32 Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiuen and whose sins are lightned blessed is the man to whom the Lord imputeth not sinne I herefore though they be forgiuen yet they remaine as appeareth If we say 〈◊〉 haue no fin we deceiue our selues and there is no truth in vs. And Solomon in his worthy prayer saith If any sinne against thee for there is no man that sinneth not So the Apostle teacheth toucheth this truth by his owne experience Rom. 7 I see another lawe in my members rebelling against the Law of my minde and leading me captiue vnto the Law of sinne which is in my members We are all as a filthy cloth the fsesh rebelleth against the spirit and in nothing we can do the things we woulde so that if God enter into iudgement with vs we 〈◊〉 stand in his sight And if Originall sinne were extinguished and vtrerly abolished in baptisme then they which are baptized shoulde sin no more but we see they sin again after their baptism To conclude baptisme is auailable not only for sins before but it is a seale for confirmation of faith touching the remission of those sinnes that are committed after baptisme as well as done before as our 〈◊〉 sauiour teacheth Mark 16 16. He that shall beleeue and be baptized shall be saued but he that will not beleeue shal be damnd Faith then beleeueth the forgiuenes of all sins past and to come inasmuch as the bood of Christ clenseth from al sins And the Apostle accordeth heereunto Titus 3 5 7. According to his mercie hee saued vs by the washing of the new birth and the 〈◊〉 of the holy ghost that we being iustified by his grace should be made heirs according to the hope of euerlasting life Where we see that the promise of iustification 〈◊〉 generall against all sins Thus much of the second vse Chap 14. Of the third vse of Baptisme THe third vse of baptisme is to kill and bury our naturall corruption by the power of Christs death and buriall and to raise vs againe to sanctification of our nature and newnes of life by his resurrection Hence it is that sin hath his deaths wounde and is stricken to the hatt so that it cannot liue and raigne in the children of God Hence it is that baptisme is often called the sacrament of repentance 〈◊〉 Luke 3 Iohn came into all the parts and coasts about Iordan preaching the Baptisme of repentance for the remission of sinnes So likewise Marke 1 4. Iohn did baptise in the Wildernes and preach the baptisme of amendment of life And the Apostle affirmeth as much col 2 xii xiii declaring that the one end of baptism is the death and burial of the old man by the almighty power of God This also was taught in those liuely types answering our baptisme to wit the flood that drownd the old world while Noah and his family were preserued in the Arke Also the red sea in which Pharaoh and his host perished but the people of God were deliuered For as God destroyed in the waters and as it were buried in the flood the world but saued a remnant of grace so doth God through christ mortifie the old man raise againe the new man and seale them both in our baptisme Likewise as GOD deliuered his people out of the hands of Pharaoh and opened them a way through the red sea and drowned their enimies that they saw them no more aliue so by baptisme he assureth our deliuerance from the thral dome and bondage of sinne which bringeth greater slauery and captiuity then any slaue is in vnder his earthly maister and the destruction of the flesh that it shall not hurt or condemn vs. We are al born in sins and trespasses we haue need of repentance and regeneration We see then what vse we are to make of our baptisme euen labor to attaine to the efficacy and fruit of it that it may not be a bare and barren signe Moses and the Prophets earnestly exhort the people of Israell to shewe forth the force and effect of their circumcision to cut away the fore-skin of their harts and harden their necks no more as we see Deut 10. 16. The Lorde did set his delight in thy fathers to loue them and did chuse their seed after them euen you aboue all people Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your hearts and harden your neckes no more And in another place The Lord thy GOD will circumcise thine heart and the hearte of thy seede that thou maiest loue the LORD thy God with all thine heart and with all thy soule that thou maiest liue

So the Prophet Ieremy saith Breake vppe your fallowe grounde and sowe not among thornes be circumcised to the Lorde and take away the fore-skinnes of yonr heartes ye men of Iudah and inhabitantes of Hierusalem least my wrath come foorthe like fire and burne but none can quench it because of the wickednes of your inuentions Circumcision was the thing wherin they bosted aboue althings it was their glory wheros they bragged to be a cirpeople peculiar to God Now the Prophets recall and reclaime them from trusting in outwarde signes and lying words that shall not profit and stirre them vp to confider the power and effect therof not to rest in cutting off a thin peece of skinne but to cut off quite and cleane their lusts and corruptions which rebell against the spirit This the Apostle teacheth euidently He is not a Iew which is one outward neither is that circumcision vvhich is outvvard in the flesh but he is a Ievv vvhich is one vvithin and the circumciston is of the hart in the spirit not in the Letter vvhose praise is not of men but of God The outward Letter is of no moment with God it must be the circumcision of the heart otherwise the circumcising of the flesh is nothing So if we woulde haue God to take vs for his people and heritage we must be all baptized in our hearts and our soules What will some say baptized in soule and in heart What is that Or how can this be Can the water wash the soule Surely the Water cast vppon our bodies is nothing if we haue not the truth of it As then the apostle Paule maketh a difference between inward circumcision of the spirit and outward circumcision of the letter insomuch that if they would haue the true circumcision indeed they must haue that which is within so is there a great difference between the baptism of the spirit and of the letter between that of the soul and the other of the body betweene that which is outwarde and that which is inward Whosoeuer would haue the true baptism indeed he must be clensed within repent of his Wickednesse mortifie his imaginations deny himselfe renounce his affections and offer vp his soule and body in sacrifice to God that he may renew and regenerate vs otherwise it is a certaine thinge we were neuer indeede and in truth baptized For as the Iewes were charged to be vncircumcised though the fore-skin of the flesh were cut off and so they were circumcised in body so we may in like maner be charged to be vnbaptized albeit we haue bin outwardly washed with water The Iewes chosen aboue all Nations to be the people of God were oftentimes condemned of forgery and fasehood for breaking the couenant of God and not answering to the truth thereof and were 〈◊〉 with the vncircumcisednesse of their heartes that they were worse then the heathen themselues a bastard broode witches children and vnworthy to be accounted Abrahams seede to the end they should bragge no more of their circumcision as Act. 7. Stephen a faithfull witnesse of God obiecteth against them Ye stiffe-necked and of vncircumcised heartes and eares ye haue alwaies resisted the Holy ghost as your fathers did so do you they shew the prophets which shewed before of the comming of that iust of whom ye are now the betrayers and murtherers where we see he discouereth their hypocrysie and setteth their sinnes before their faces telling them that as their fathers rebelled against god so the children followed their fathers footesteppes Do not these things concerne vs Though we haue not circumcision in action and practise belong they not to vs now a daies Yes euen to vs For we shall bee condemned for our vnclensed and vnsanctified heartes not answering to the truth of our baptisme For so much we profit by baptisme as we profit in mortification If then we be once baptized and washed with water we shall pay dearely for our desiling that sacred water which God hath appointed to so holy an vse True it is the water of it selfe is as nothing no other in substance and nature then that wherewith wee washe our hands but when once it is ioyned to the word and applyed to an holy end it is as it were an authenticall seale which God hath engrauen in it Now he that counterfaiteth the seale of a Prince shall hee not bee punished Behold baptisme is the seale of GOD which serueth not to seale conueyances of earthly possessions as house and landes but to assure vs that wee are called to the heauenly life and bringeth good assurance and warrant with it that we be washed from our sinnes by the blood of our Lorde I esus christ and borne again by his holy spirit Shall we break al and escape punished Let vs not then boast of our baptisme and Christianity to say oh we are baptized wee are christened we weare the badge of God these things these things I say will cost vs deere if we make not our baptisme auaileable to our selues and our owne soules by killing our corruptions for thereby we shew our selues like vnto the foole that maketh a vow and immediately after breaketh it Now although we professe the Gospell yet you shall finde a great number that knowe not this vse of baptisme neither wherto it auaileth nor to what endes it was ordained They cal it indeed their christend ome but are altogether ignorant of the nature therof are vnacquainted with the effect of it This will cost them decrely for abusing such a pledge-token at Gods hands seeing it is a meanes whereby we are vnited to our Lord Iesus christ and ingrafted into his death and resurrection Wherefore whereas many haue receiued baptisme in their infancy and haue liued 40. or 50. yeares in the world without knowing to what end they were baptized it had been better for them that they had beene borne dead or perished in their mothers wombe as as vntimely fruite then to haue vnhalowed so holy and precious a thing Thus of the third and last vse of baptisme as also of the parts thereof and generally touching this whole Sacrament The end of the second Booke THE THIRDE BOOKE of the lords Supper being Christs farwel-token to his church and a sweet pledge of his woonderfull kindnesse toward mankinde where in the truth of this Sacrament is manifested the parts are deliuered the vses are shewed the doctrine of the reformed Churches is cleered the errors of the church of Rome are euidently conuinced and the meanes set downe how euery one is to be prepared to the worthy receiuing thereof with fruite and comfort CHAP. 1. of the names and titles of this Sacrament together with the reasons and vses thereof IN the former Booke we haue spoken of baptisme the first sacrament of the church together with the partes and vses thereof Now we are to set downe the doctrine of the Lordes supper which is the second sacrament For after that God

his house Now christ with his twelue disciples alone were not sufficient to eat vp this lambe of a yeare old being great large according to the sirian kind as may be supposed by the discription of Aristotle Pliny others Neither doth it appeare that any remained or was burned with fire according to the institution of God because the Euangelists declare that so soone as the supper was administred and a psalme sung of thanksgiuing they went out into the Mount of Oliues Why then should we not thinke that christ added and annexed other to his family seing his own disciples sufficed not especially the blessed virgin his mother who was not long from him whom afterward after his departure he commended and committed to Iohn to be protected and prouided for who from that time took her home to his house as his own mother But to leaue these consideratiōs as coniectures we answer the former obiection that in asmuch as christ deliuered both signs to the same persons they might bar the people frō the bread as wel as from the cup. For I would know why the bread is necessary but because it was instituted by christ and retained by his Apostles Wherefore the institution maketh the one as requisite as the other Besids if other heretiks should arise as great enemies to the peoples partaking of the bread as the church of Rome is to their cōmunicating of the cup of the Lord how might they better be repressed and refelled then by alleaging the first institution of christ and shewing the practise of the Apostles so that the reasons brought to confute the one wil serue directly to ouerthrow the other Moreouer the disciples at the first ministration of the supper performed not the office of the minister nor any part of his duty but of the people Christ was the minister therof he took the bread he blessed he brake he gaue the bread saiing This is my body Likewise he tooke the cup blessed gaue the same saying This cup is the new testament in my blood On the other side the disciples took it did eat and drinke which are the proper duties of all the people Lastly the Apostle saith not in the first person we ate and drink as speaking of himselfe other teachers of the church but directing his speach to all that are called and sanctified in Christ in euery place according to the inscription of the epistle he saith As often as ye shal eate this bread drinke this cup ye shew the Lords death til he come Now these Corinthians to whō he specially wrote could not liue vntill the second comming of christ to iudgement therefore this eating and this drinking belongeth to al that cal vpon the name of god to the end of the world Secondly they object against the former truth this out of Act. 2 They continued in the apostles doctrine and in breaking of bread and Ch. 20 they came together to break bread It is not said to deliuer the cup vnto the people but to breake bread wherby they gather it was ministred vnto the people in one kind onely and not in both I answer by a cōmon Synecdoche one part is put for the whole For among the Hebrewes this phrase in scripture to eate bread is to receiue whole nourishment ful refreshing by eating and drinking as appeareth by many places wher mentioning only bread for food it were madnes to imagine and gather that they drunk not Besides the Apostle putteth the other part to wit drinking of the cup for the whole celebration of the supper when he saith By one spirit we are al baptized into one body and haue been al made to drink into one spirit where we see as our sauiour added the vniuersal note drink ye al of this and as the Euangelist Mark accordeth saying they al dranke of it so the Apostle doth not pretermit it but saith al were made to drink as if the Lord Iesus the Euangelists and the Apostles would preuent before hād the corruption followed in the church of Rome Wherfore seeing drinking of the cup doth not properly note out the whole action because no man was euer so grosly blinded to suppose that the cup might be alone administred it followeth that by this member expressed we must vnderstand the other and by one part the whole Furthermore it is a ruled case among themselues that it is flat sacriledge if a priest consecrate not this sacrament in both kindes but do it in bread onely If then the former scriptures Act. 2. and ch 20. proue the receiuing vnder one kind because bread onely is expressed so the cup to be excluded it wil likewise follow they consecrated in one kinde because the wine is not expressed and therefore by these places neither priest nor people should take the cup if they will not admit a trope or figure Neither can they say that Luke discribeth not what the Apostles consecrated or receiued but what they deliuered to the people for the Euangelist declareth Act. 20. 11. not onely that the Apostle brake the bread but did eate thereof himselfe so that they must confesse that Paule also receiued in one kind and consecrated in one kind or else necessarily grant one part put for the whole as likewise we say 1 Cor. 11 where he doth expresly touch and teach both kindes to the eating of the bread ioyning the drinking of this cup yet sometimes he expresseth onely the one signe for shortnes sake the church had receiued this vsual manner of speaking to call the Lordes Supperthe breaking of bread as verse 20. When ye come together into one place this is not to eate the Lords Supper and verse 33. When ye come together to eate tary one for another likewise verse 29. He discerneth not the Lords body and yet in the sentence going before hee saith that such as eate and drinke vnworthily do eate and drinke their owne iudgement Wherefore as the Apostles alwaies celebrated the supper by conseeration both of the bread and of the cup so the people alwaies receiued in both these kinds to their great comfort and consolation Thirdly they alleage that there is an vnion and coniunction of each signe that the body is in the blood and the blood in the body that christ is wholly and perfectly vnder each kind because now in his glorious body there is no separation of the body from the blood or blood from the body I answer surely if this were so it were a fault and friuolous thing to do that by more which may be c done by fewer to vse two kindes which may as well be done and is done vnder one as a wise Philosopher teacheth Besides if one may reason in that soit the whole supper might be abrogated for we are made partakers of christ in baptisme and he dwelleth in our hearts by faith which commeth by
