a Act 10 47 67. T. And whence as you next answer to the next Remission of sinne to be the inward grace L. O●t of that in the Gospell b Mar. 1. 4. Explic. The Sacrament of Baptisme hath its denomination from washing or sprinkling as with water which is the outward signe and signifies that as the body is outwardly cleansed with Water or washing so is the soul inwardly and spiritually clensed by grace in Christs blood And it is called the Sacrament of initiation or entrance or admission into Christs Church and therefore but once to be received 68. T. You said in your answer to our sixty sixt q●estion that beleevers are to be baptized How prove you that L. Out of that in the Acts c Act. 8. 37 38. Explicat Infidels till converted are not to be baptized d Act 8 12 And the Children of a Christian Parent is to be baptized e Act. 2 39 for they because within the Covenant are also accounted Beleevers 69. T. Whence as you answer to our sixty seventh question prove you bread and wine to be the outward signe in the Lords Supper L. Out of that of St Paul f 1 Cor. 11. 24. c. Explic. This Sacrament hath its Name of the Lords Supper from the circumstance of time when instituted which was at supper-time when Christ with his Disciples or Apostles having eaten the Passover ate his last supper and signifies that as the body is really refreshed and nourished with bread and wine so is the soule spiritually by Christs flesh and blood And it is called the Sacrament of Nutrition and therefore oft to be received Moreover Christ is therein pleased to use a two-fold signe as some thinke the better by this Sacrament to imprint in our mindes the horrid usage in his death as not only thereby signifying the breaking of his body but also the shedding of his blood for us most certaine signes of his death At the administration of this which Sacrament is to be seriously noted the Action of the Minister about both to be sure to put us in mind of that his death by breaking the bread and pouring out of the wine how much he was molested for us how severely used which might hint unto us the more hatred against sin the maine cause of that ill usage And also both he uses to signifie the sufficiently satisfactory offerture of himselfe that as bread and drinke is a sufficient and due nourishment to the body so his body and blood spiritually is a sufficient refection for the soul That his blessing the bread and wine as thereby shewing the blessing of God by the oblation of his Son for us by Christ his son in this Sacrament and the offering of both to the Communicants the holy offerture of that blessing Both which they are to take and to eate the one and drinke the other as assured of the energie of that blessing and oblation to Beleevers 70. T. Why say you in answer to our sixty ninth question that Beleevers baptized are they to receive this Sacrament L. Beleevers they ought to be that are admitted to either Sacrament and order requires they be first baptized Explic. If Infidels converted they may presently after Baptisme on the first opportunity offered receive also this Sacrament Though Children of Christian Parents though when infants baptized are not presently so to receive this Sacrament til come to years of discretion to know that they are beleevers Where under the Notion of beleevers we comprehend and understand the penitent them that know their misery by sin and that but in Christ there is no remedy for it and by forsaking sins past and resolving of amendment of life for time to come and understanding the doctrine of the Sacraments and the like testifie their desire of like Salvation by Christ by their receiving this Sacrament 71. T. You said in answer to our seventieth question that Christ himselfe instituted and ordained these Sacraments How prove you it L. For the Sacrament of Baptisme that of Christ g Mat. 28. 19. and for the Sacrament of the Lords Supper that of Christ before cited h Luke 22. 19 20. 72. T. Then next in answer to our seventieth and first question you said that they to administer these Sacraments ought to be Ministers lawfully called thereunto How prove you that L. O●t of that testimony of Paul i Heb. 5. 4. Explic. Aaron and the Priests were onely ordained to offer sacrifices for sins those Sacrifices that were Types of these Sacraments which none may administer but them called as was Aaron and the Priests of God which must intimate the Ministers of Christ Besides that as if giving forth the the Rule for it Christ bid them that preach the Gospell goe also and baptize k Mat. 28. 19. and where St Paul saith l Ep. 5. 26. that Christ sanctifies the Church with the washing of Water by the word as if also intimating this order that only the Ministers of his word should administer his Sacraments 73. T. You said in answer to our seventy second question that we ought to have faith and shew forth that faith workes of faith to pray to receive the Sacraments c. that we may obtaine salvation How prove you that L. Out of that m Act. 16. 30. where the Jaylors chiefest care is for that Salvation when n vers 31. Paul and Silas that he might have it bid him beleeve 74. T. How prove you salvation to be next to Gods glory the chiefe end of mans endeavours as you answer to our seventy third question L. Out of the Psalme o Psa 73. 24 25. where Davids hope was to be received to glory which was to be saved which we must conceive next to Gods glory his chiefest indeavour as that of the Fathers in the place before cited p Act 16. and by that comparison of Christ q Mat. 16. 30. 75. T. Then as you answer to our there next question how prove you that end to be Eternall life L. Out of that place r Jo. 5. 39. where the Jews search for Eternall life was their search for this salvation They might be assured here that they might live with God hereafter which living with God is that eternall life as we answered to that your last question and prove it by that of David in the Psalme before cited s Psal 73. 24. By Glory there meaning Salvation as we have said and by that Salvation the happy end of the godly that they shall see God and Christ t 1 Jo. 3. 2. enjoy them u Ps 73. 24 have fellowship and communion with them w Jo. 17. 24. have in soule and body endlesse and everlasting yea unspeakable incomprehensible peace and glory x Mat. 25. 34. 1 Cor. 2. 9. Further Instructions for the Teacher NOw betweene whiles sometimes while thus expounding this Catechisme instead of those idle tales
main blessings that of the Communion of Saints which we have expounded and this of the Remission of sins we come next to expound or explain A maine blessing t is o Is 33. 24 Psal 32. 1. a blessing of this life p Eccle. 9. 10. Mat. 5. 25. No other mean to free us from sin for being by nature all sinners dead in trespasses and sins q Eph. 2. 1. 3. Gods free grace in Christ which is this forgivenesse is that onely must revive us r vers 5. 8. That had will doe and that if sought is a certaine meane to be had s Ps 32. 5. Is 55. 7. But will we know how God t is gives it t Is 43. 25 Mark 2. 7 but ever upon this condition that we repent u Luk. ●3 3. ● Act. 3. 19. Remission never comes but by the way of Repentance w 1 Jo. 1. 9 And by that way it ever comes x Ps 32. 7. Applic. That Remission of sin is that other great blessing of God to his Church in this life how above others ought we to seeke for that To repent us of our sinnes that we may obtaine this blessing y Act. 3. 19. And when a blessing of this life here had or never had how ought we to let passe no time when but still be both mindfull and carefull how to obtaine it and as the Apostle wisheth x Heb. 3. 13. dayly to call unto each other to be still mindfull of this That when but by this there is no meane to free us from sin that we be mindfull still to keep God the giver of this our friend who that if faithfully sought too wil give it us how againe ought we still to seeke him y Is 55. 6. Mat. 7. 7. And being onely sin is it that steps between God and us to the prejudice of this forgivenesse our ever care it must be that to keepe us by God we ever keep off sin a 1 Jo. 2. 1. Thus of the two maine blessings here come we next to explaine those other two maine blessings hereafter the first whereof we have in the next the XI Eleventh Article and that this the Resurrection of the Body which is that our bodies though buried and turned to dust and ashes yet shall be gathered and rise againe b Is 6. 19. Act. 24. 15 Rev 20. 12 Yea the very same bodies c Job 19. 25. 26. 27 perfect and intire d Act. 3. 21 as no more subject to death e Rev. 21. 4. so surely not subject to any losse harme or imperfection made immortall and glorified bodies f 1 Cor. 15. 53. And as here forgiven and remitted by Christ's blood g Eph. 1. 7 so hereafter raised by the power h Mat. 22. 29. and vertue of Christ's Resurrection i Ro. 8. 11. 1 Cor. 15. 20. at the last day k Job 14. 11. 12. Jo. 11. 23. 24. Applic. That this order is observed in Gods distribution of these blessings first thus to blesse us here and after so to blesse us hereafter may teach us to observe and note the order by what steps to attaine happinesse that fellowship we must have with the godly here and our sins forgiven us ere we can hope to have our bodies raised so as to attain everlasting life Then that our bodies shall rise againe yea the very same bodies how may this comfort each dying soule to thinke he is not lost for ever b●t onely laid up for a time and therefore while living labour to keep our bodies pure and unspotted from any the filthy pollution and reigning contagion of sin that after being dead at this Resurrection they may yeeld a sweet savour to God And being to be raised by the power and vertue of Christ learne we still to magnifie that power not to doubt nor any wise to distrust this Resurrection But that we shall rise againe yea that all shall rise l Jo. 5. 29. both good and bad though the bad to abad a sad and dismall doome to have eternall death and damnation yet that that is though but just to them as to the good to their fuller comfort and consolation the more to magnifie Gods mercy and be sensible of their owne happinesse everlasting life and Salvation Which everlasting life come we next to explain the second blessing hereafter as set forth in the XII Twelfth and last Article The life everlasting Amen This is may I say the Crowne of blessings and an happy close to our Creed Wherein our faith hath its full consummation of happinesse In this is it the Sheepe which is the Church that listen to the voyce of Christ the Shepherd have summed up the price of their happinesse and blessed issue of his voyce they hear him they follow him and he in this blesses them makes them happy m Jo. 10. 27. 28. By eternall life meaning both life of grace n Tit. 3. 7. and also life of glory hereafter o Jo. 17. 24. the one an entrance as 't were to the other p Jo. 5 24. Which what either is is beyond our ken or compare admirable ineffable q Psal 31. 19. 1 Cor. 3. 9 2 Cor 12. 5. Be it otherwise what it will be this we know and are assured of we shall be freed from all evil r Rev. 1. 4. enjoy all good and that too for ever s Ps 116. 11. This life is everlasting life Applic. That this life is such an ineffable blessing how should we labour to attain it And being of everlasting being what persons should we be if we meane to attaine it How labour to be Citizens fit for the Celestiall City men not immerged with any wilfull pollution of sin t Rev. 21. 27. but such as here attend the good pleasure of God doe his Commandements live the life of grace here that we may have right to that life of glory hereafter u Rev. 22. 14. every one in his proper place and calling by faith and repentance laying hold of that temporall life of grace that so he may attaine that everlasting life of glory So as whatever our care be here though by carnall Christians scorned contemned despised derided yet of Christ may we hear that happy call hereafter Come ye bless●d of my Father c. w Mat. 25. 34.
