I write unto you Fathers THE THIRD Forme of knowledge or the Fathers Catechisme Winter quarter MNason What is that which is the thirst of every mans soule and the chiefe scope of mans life Apollos That very same thing which in one word or tearme is called Felicitie happinesse or beatitude others call it the chiefe good Mnason Wherein doth mans chiefe good or happinesse consist Apollos Neither in 1 wisdome or knowledg nor in 2 glory and honour nor 3 in pleasure nor 4 in dignitie nor 5 in riches nor 6 in health and strength nor 7 in favour and esteeme nor 8 in morall vertue nor 9 in temporall life nor 10 in immortality it selfe Neither any of these nor all of these together nor any other created thing can quench the thirst of mans soule nor be said to bee the chiefe good of the reasonable creature Mnason Why so I pray you Apollos Because whatsoever may prove mans chiefe good must necessarily be invested with this double propertie 1. that it bee All-sufficient that is simply and absolutely able of it selfe to fill the heart and satisfie the soule 2. That it be indeficient and perpetuall so as the Soule cannot bee made sad either with the sence or feare of loosing it Now the very best of created and sublunary felicities if they incline any thing to sufficiencie or perfection they are commonly very short and momentany if they be more lasting they are usually very dilute and imperfect Mnason What then is if these bee not neither can be Apollos Onely the All-sufficient Lord himselfe who is All in all both in himselfe and unto us and who is onely able and willing to fill every corner of the heart with sátietie and content and to give us full measure pressed downe shaken together and running over Mnason Whereby then may wee be so knit and united unto God as to be partakers of his All-sufficiency and beatitude Apollos Religion is the thing which doth unite and cement man unto his God whence it hath its name from tying and knitting because our soules which by lapse and sinning were dissevered from God by religion and divine worship are conjoyned unto him againe Mnason Can any Religion or kinde of divine worship doe this Apollos Noe onely the true christian religion can doe it To which purpose the words of the 18 Article agreed on by the whole clergy of both

good Mnason Which is the fourth and last part of Catechisticall divinitie Apollos Of the sacraments which in one word cannot better be defined then that they are the visible word wherein and whereby Christ crucified is preached and declared to our eyes Mnason Now whereas the most perfect and exquisite knowledge of any thing is to see it in its causes and that there are foure causes of a thing the efficient from which it is the matter of which it is the forme by which it is what it is and th' end for which it is first shew mee which be the efficient causes of a sacrament Apollos Christ himselfe

unfeignedly desire to make acceptable approches to the Lords Table The Communicants Alphabet A Sacrament is the visible word as the Scripture is the word audible By it Christ crucified is spoken and preached to our eyes as in the scripture to our eares BAptisme is the Sacrament of our matriculation and admission into the Church and the Lords supper is the Sacrament of our establishment there and confirmation after wee are admitted Christ is the principall Author or efficient cause of a Sacrament in the Church A lawfull minister is the secondary or instrumentall cause None but Christ alone who is the head of the Church can ordaine or institute one none but a lawfull minister that is who hath gifts from God and calling from men can officiate or administer one DIstinguish wisely betwixt the three parts which concurre to the constituting of a sacrament to wit first the outward signes representing secondly the inward and invisible graces represented lastly the word of benediction or consecration meeting with both EXcept the word accede and be added unto the Elements it is noe Sacrament but common water common bread common wine FOrme inward or the essence of a Sacrament stands in the proportion or analogie betweene the outward signe and inward grace which may bee called a Sacramentall union or conjunction of the signe and the thing signified as namely the proportion which outward washing holds with inward sanctification is the essentiall form of baptisme and the proportion which bread and wine hold with the body and bloud of Christ is the essence and forme of the Lords supper GIve diligent heed also all the while of celebration to the whole leiturgie or office of the Church that is to all the words and actions of the minister which are said and done according to the

had not an exhibitive vertue as well as a significative IN preparation to the Lords table due respect must bee had both to the worthinesse of the receiver and to the worthinesse of receiving that is called precedent worthinesse or the worthinesse of the Person and is to goe before this is called concurrent Worthinesse or the worthinesse of handling and is to goe along with the act of receiving KNow then that as only sinne doth avile and unworthy our persons so nothing but Righteousnesse doth dignifie them and re-estate them in their former worthinesse and excellency LEarne further that this righteousnesse must bee twofold the one of Christ which must bee imputed unto us and therefore called the Righteousnesse of faith the other our owne which must bee imparted to us and inherent in us and therefore called the Righteousnesse of workes MOreover the worthinesse of handling or of receiving consists chiefly in putting in practice that grand Apostolicall rule 1 Cor. 11. 28. Let a man examine himselfe and so let him eate of that bread and drinke of that cup. NEither is it sufficient to prove unlesse ou● weaknesses and infirmities being mercifully abated us in Christ we be able to approve our selves both to our owne hearts and to God who is greater then our hearts OMit not then to examine diligently the present condition first of the Faith and then of thy manners and life the touchstone of the former is the Creed and of the latter the decalogue or ten commandements PLace first before thine eyes the 12 Articles of that most auncient and Apostolique creed and examine thy selfe as in the presence of God first whether thou be able to give stedfast credit and firme assent unto each of them one by one and secondly whether thou canst apply each article particularly unto thine owne selfe and interest thine own soule by affiance and trust in the benefits and comforts which result from each Article QUestion nextly thy life and manners and therin place before thee the ten precepts of the morall law carefully searching by most diligent scrutiny through each commandement wherin thou hast transgressed and broken either the affirmative part of the commandement by sinnes of omission or the negative by sinnes of commission REpent from the bottome of thine heart where thou findest ought amisse in either and give not thy spirit
