A35959 Truths victory over error, or, An abridgement of the chief controversies in religion which since the apostles days to this time, have been, and are in agitation, between those of the Orthodox faith, and all adversaries whatsoever, a list of whose names are set down after the epistle to the reader : wherein, by going through all the chapters of The confession of faith, one by one, and propounding out of them, by way of question, all the controverted assertions, and answering by yes, or no, there is a clear confirmation of the truth, and an evident confutation of what tenets and opinions, are maintain'd by the adversaries : a treatise, most useful for all persons, who desire to be instructed in the true Protestant religion, who would shun in these last days, and perillous times, the infection of errors and heresies, and all dangerous tenets and opinions, contrary to the word of God.

Christ in this Sacrament corporally or carnally in with or under the brèad and wine No. 1 Cor. 10. 16. Well then do not the Lutherians err who maintain that the body and blood of Christ are corporally in with and under the bread and wine and that as the Papists also teach his body and blood are taken corporally by the mouth by all Communicants believers and unbelievers Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Christ was sitting with his body at the Table 2 Because he himself did eat of the bread and drink of the wine 3 Because he took bread from the Table he took not his own body he break bread and did distribute it he break not his own body so he took the Cup and not his own blood 4 Because Christ said the Cup was the New Testament in his blood but the Cup is not in with and under the Wine 5 Because Christ said the bread was his body which was broken the Wine was his blood which was shed But neither was his body broken under the bread nor his blood shed under the Wine seing Christ as yet was not betrayed crucified and dead In the next place the end of the Lords Supper is that we may remember Christ and declare his death until be come Luke 22. 19. 1 Cor. 11. 24 25 26. Therefore if Christ be now present with his body in with and under the bread the Sacramental remembrance of Christ and the declaring of his death ought to cease This Doctrine of Consubstantiation is contrary to the Articles of our Faith It is against the Truth and Verity of his Humane Nature which is visible palpable and in a certain place circumscriptive It is against the Article of his ascension for it makes his body which is now in Heaven until the last day to be in with and under a piece of bread It is against the spiritual communion of the Saints with Christ the Head which the Lutherians makes by this doctrine a corporal and carnal communion contrary to 1 Cor. 10. 3 4. Ephes. 1. 22. Ephes. 4. 4. Rom. 8. 9. 1 Cor. 6. 17. 1 Iohn 4. 13. Iohn 15. 5. It brings with it many and great absurdities as that the body of Christ Non habeat partem extra partem hath not one part of it without another but as if all the parts of his Body were in one part which is contrary to the Nature of a true and real Quantum which consists essentially in three dimensions length breadth and thickness It makes in effect his Body to be no body It brings down the glorious Body of Christ from Heaven and puts it under the base Elements of this Earth It makes as many bodies of Christ as there are pieces of Eucharistical bread It makes his body to be broken in with and under the bread and bruised with the teeth It sends his Body down to the stomach where it is turned into a mans substance and afterwards throwen out Moreover all true Eating brings life and Salvation Iohn 6. 50 51. but eating by the mouth profiteth nothing Iohn 6. 63. Again our union with Christ and therefore our eating of his Body from whence ariseth this union is not corporal but spiritual Eph. 3. 17. And the Body and Blood of Christ are meat and drink not carnal but spiritual even as the hunger whereby we long for this meat is spiritual and the life to which we are nourished is spiritual and the nutriment is spiritual Lastly according to this Doctrine of Consubstantiation stiffly maintained by the Lutherians it follows that Christ did 〈◊〉 his own body while he did eat the bread of the first supper That his Disciples did eat their Lord and Masters Body That Christ before he was crucified was dead That his Disciples were more cruel and inhumane to him than the Iews were that crucified him That he is often buried within the intrals of wicked men Quest. VI. IS the Body and Blood of Christ as really but spiritually present to the faith of Believers in that Ordinance as the Elements themselves are to the outward senses Yes 1 Cor. 10. 16. Well then do not the Socinians err who maintain that the Body and Blood of Christ in the Sacrament of the Supper are not really present Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because the body of Christ in this Sacrament is spiritually eaten by Believers and his blood is spiritually drunken But a spiritual presence is a true and real presence because it comes and flowes from true and real causes namely from Faith and the Holy Spirit 2 Because in the right use of this Sacrament Christ is united to a man by faith and by the Holy Spirit 1 Cor. 10. 16. 3 Because the body of Christ in so far as it was given to the death and was broken for us on the cross and in so far as his blood was shed for the remission of our sins all these I say are the internal matter of this Sacrament Luke 22. 19. Mat. 26. 28. 1 Cor. 11. 24. 4 Because those who eat and drink unworthily are said not to discern the Lords body and therefore to such as eat and drink worthily the body and blood of Christ must be truely present according to their spiritual sense namely Faith 1 Cor. 11. 24. 5 Because length of time doth not hinder but that Faith may make things past and things to come spiritually present and therefore distance of place doth not hinder but that things most distant as to place may be made spiritually and truely present Heb. 11. 1. Iohn 6. 56. Phil. 3. 10. Heb. 11. 9. Quest. VII ARE all ignorant and ungodly persons as they are unfit to enjoy Communion with Christ unworthy of his Table Yes Can they without great sin against Christ while they continue such partake of these holy Mysteries No. And are not therefore Church-officers to debar those who appear grosly ignorant and scandalous Yes 1 Cor. 11. 27 28 29. and 2 Cor. 6. 14 15. and 1 Cor. 5. 6 7 13. Matth. 7. 6. Well then do not some men err in their Practise if not in their Opinion who suffer many ignorant scandalous and ungoodly persons to come to the Lords Table Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because ignorant and wicked men eating and drinking unworthily are guily of the body and blood of Christ and so bring judgement upon themselves Cor. 11. 29. 2 Because all were not admitted to eat of the Passover neither was it for all promiscuously to partake thereof Numb 9. 6 7. and 2 Chron. 23. 19. Esek 22. 26. 3 Because it was not lawful for any man to come to the Marriage feast that wanted the Wedding garment Matth. 22. 11. 4 Because Pearles are not to be casten before Dogs and Swine men manifestly ungodly and wicked Matth. 7. 6. 5 Because they who deserve to be excluded from the Fellowship and Society of Believers ought not to be admitted to the Sacrament of intimate Communion
remission of sin of the Quick or Dead No. Heb. 9. 22 25 26 28. Well then do not the Papists err who maintain that in this Sacrament there is performed a true and real Sacrifice commonly called the Mass wherein Christ under the forms of Bread aud Wine without sheding of blood is offered unto GOD by a Priest and sacrificed for the living and for the Dead to obtain remission of sins Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because the sacrificing and offering up of Christ is a part of his own Priesthood Heb. 9. 14. But the Priesthood of Christ cannot be transferred from himself to any other Heb. 7. 24. Therefore no Priest can offer him up under the forms of Bread and Wine unto GOD. 2 Because the offering of the Body of Christ is once for all It is but one single offering and cannot be repeated Heb. 10. 10 12 14. 3 Because the sacrificing and offering up of Christ is one only and of a most perfect Merit and Efficacy Heb. 9. 14. Heb. 10 14. But the repeating of the same Sacrifice and the multitude of Priests are a token of an imperfect Sacrifice Heb. 9. 25 26. Heb. 10. 10 11. 4 If Christ be often offered he must often die and suffer Heb. 9. 25 26. But Christ being now raised from the Dead cannot any more suffer and die Rom. 6. 9. 5 Because that one and most perfect Sacrifice of Christ did abrogate and take away all those external Sacrifices and caused them to cease Daniel 9. 27. 6 Because there can be no propitiatory Sacrifice for sin without shedding of blood Heb. 9. 22. Neither doth he die any more but is now in Heaven to appear in the presence of GOD for us and to interceed in our behalf Heb. 1. 3. Heb. 9. 24. Heb. 10. 12. 7 Because in every Sacrifice there is required and really is a dying and destruction of the thing sacrificed But Christ still liveth Rom. 6. 9. 8 Because no man can offer Jesus up to GOD but Christ himself Heb. 7. 27. 9 Because in all external sacrifices properly so called there is necessarly required a visible external Host or thing sacrificed as the Adversaries grant But the thing which is said to be offered up by the Mass-Priest namely the Body of Christ is neither external nor visible here it being in Heaven and not on Earth with man Acts 3. 21. Quest. III. ARE private Masses or the receiving this Sacrament by a Priest or any other alone as likewise the denyall of the cup to the People worshipping the Elements the lifting them up or carrying them about for adoration and the reserving them for any pretended Religious use are all these I say contrary to the nature of this Sacrament and to the institution of Christ Yes Mark 14. 23. 1 Cor 11. 25 26 27 28 29. Matth. 15. 9. Well then doth not the Romish Church err whose Mass-Priests standing in the Altar celebrate private Masses the People eihter being absent or standing idle who take the Cup to themselves only and drink thereof That administer the Lords Supper privately to sick persons and Bed-rid That teach to administer the Communion to Laicks under both the forms of Bread and Wine is not only not necessary but unlawful Who teach that for Adorations-cause the Elements are to be lifted up and carried about and reserved for Religious uses Yes By what reasons are they confuted 1 Because Christ did institute the last Supper not for one a part but for many together Matth. 26. 27 28. 2 Because Christ in celebrating the last Supper did not eat and drink himself alone but the Disciples did also eat and drink with him Matth. 26. 27 28. 3 Because the Apostle commands the Corrinthians that when they come together to eat they tarry one for another 1 Cor. 11. 33. 4 Because the Lords Supper is a Sacrament of Brother-hood and communion of the Saints 1 Cor. 10. 16 17 1 Cor. 11. 33. 5 Because in the dayes of the Apostles the Disciples and Brethren met together for breaking of bread Acts 20. 7. 6 Because Christ when he had taken bread and distributed it is said to have likewise taken the Cup 1 Cor 11 23 24 25 26 27. 7 Because it is expresly said and commanded Christ foreseeing this black errour which is now in their Church drink ye all of it Matth 26 27. 8 Because the common People which are Communicants gather more Fruit from both the Forms than from one onely 1 Cor 10 16 and 1 Cor. 11 26 9 Because the Blood of Christ the sign whereof is the Wine in the Cup is not onely shed for Apostles Preachers and Pastours but also for Lay-men and those that are not of the Clergy as the Popish Church speaks Iohn 3 16. 10 Because the Apostles and Christians of the Primitive Church did communicate under both Forms Mark 14 22 23 1 Cor 10 11 chapters 11 Because it is a Villany to detract and withdraw any thing from Christs Testament and therefore the Cup which is left to us by Legacy Matth 26 27 28 is not to be denyed to any Communicant Gal 3 15 12 Because Christ did not institute any Adoration of the Elements therefore this Adoration is to be condemned as Will-worship Matth. 15 9. 13 Because the Adoration is founded upon the Corporal presence of Christs Body in the Sacrament which is blasphemous seing Christ now is at the Right Hand of GOD Heb 1 3. 14 Because this Popish Adoration of the Elements is a worshipping of the creature together with the Creator a most abominable Idolatry Daniel 11 38 Matth 23 16 to verse 23. 15 Because if the Elements ought to be adored because Christ is Sacramentally present in them then ought believers in whom Christ dwelleth Iohn 14. 20. to be adored which is absurd Nay the water of Baptism ought to be worshipped seeing the whole Trinity is no less present there than in the Supper 16 The worshipping of the bread since no man as the Adversaries confess is able to know certainly that the Host is consecrated is a work done without Faith therefore a sin Rom. 14. 23. 17 Because Christ commanded the Element of bread to be broken eaten and distributed But no where doth Christ command the bread to be Reserved 1 Cor. 11. 23 24. 18 Because the bread which is the communion of the body of Christ is the bread which we break 1 Cor. 10. 16. 19 Because the bread and the wine are not Sacramental Symbols but in the very action 1 Cor. 11. 26. Here it is said for as often as ye eat this bread and drink this cup but not as often as ye reserve this bread 20 Because GOD commanded that nothing should be Reserved of the Pasehal-Lamb to which bread and wine in the Lords Supper have succeeded till the morning Exod. 12. 10. That it might not be put to any other use whether for Idolatry or common food Quest. IV. DO the outward Elements in this
