that
as

dayes

ended
his

vocation
.
Also
I
learne
,
as
the
Lord
rested
the
seauenth
day

ordained
it
to

sanctified
:
so
a
Christian
ought
earnestly

that
the
kingdome
of
God
is
before
all
things
to
be
desired
.
Thirdly
,
that
all
our
goods
and
substance
are
to

glory
to
be

Honour
thy
Father

,
that
thy
dayes
may
belong
in
the
land
,
&c.
Q.
What
learne
you
by
this
word
honour
thy
Father
?
A.
I
learne
that
I
am
bound
to
loue
,
feare
and
obey
,
to
reuerence
,
relieue
,
&
comfort
all
those
which
God
hath
placed
in
place
of
my
parents
.
Q.
What
persons
are
by
Gods
word
in
place
of
parents
to
be
honoured
?
A.
First
,
naturall
parents
which
are
instruments
of
our
life
,
first
are
so
to
bee
honoured
.
Ephe.

Secondly
,
Kinges
and
Queenes
,
which
are
Gods
annoynted
,
as
princely
parents
,
and
are
so
to
be
honoured
.
Esay

Thirdly
,
Bishops

Magistrates

all
gouernours

All
aged
men

and
all
our

,
as
is
afore
mentioned
,
are
so
to
bee
honoured
.
Q.
What
learne
you
farther
by
the
fourth
precept
?
A.
I
learne
that
this
commandement
hath
a
promise
of
blessing
,
to
moue
Christiane
to
bee
more
dutifull
to
their
parents
,
namely
long
life
to
the
obedient
.
Q.
Seeing
we
doe
see
the
wicked
flourish
and
liue
long
.
Psal.
37.
and
often
the
righteous
to
perish
,
and
liue
not
so
long
.
Esay
.
57.
How
can
that
promise
be
rightly
approued
,
or
to
the
obedient
applyed
?
A.
First
we
are
taught
that
a
wicked
mans
life
is
death
.
Luk.
15.
and
the
prolonging
of
his
dayes
in
sinfull
life
,
is
heaping
of
vengeance
by
his
long
life
.
Rom.
2.
Secondly
,
we
are
taught
,
that
the
life
of
a
righteous
man
doth
not
end
when
his
mortall
life
is
ended
,
for
Abell
being
dead
,
yet
speaketh
.
Heb.
11.
And
long
life
is
not
onely
to
liue
in
the
bodie
,
but
to
be
aliue
euer
while
the
world
lafteth
,
by
faith
and
famous
memorie
.
Q.
Doe
you
conclude
then
that
the
wicked
liue
long
to
encrease
their
condemnation
,
and
Gods
children
haue
a
double
blessing
both
of
gray
hayres
,
and
liuing
holy
liues
.
A.
I
conclude
that
the
wicked
liue
long
(
by
Gods
permission
)
to
their
further
confusion
,
and
Gods
obedient
children
,
both
in
speedie
death
and
long
life
,

of
Christ
is
,
shew
me
whom
and
what

call
the
true
Church
of

here

Answere
.
The
name
of
Church
by
signification
,
signifieth
,
Q.
Who
are
more
effectually
and
truely
called
the
Church
?
A.
They
truely
in
this
world
are
called
the
true
and
inuisible
Church
of
Christ
,
whom
God
elected
to
saluation
before
the
beginning
of
the
world
:
And
which
in
receiuing
Christ
by
faith
,
doe
beleeue
in
Christ
alone
to
be
saued
eternally
.
Q.
What
is
the
condition
and
estate
of
them
which
be
true
members
of
the
church
and
doe
beleeue
in
Christ
effectually
?
A.
Although
it
doth
not
to
men
alwayes
so
appeare
,
yet
it
is
apparant
,
that
the
true
members
of
the
Church
are
replenished
with
true
happinesse
,
holinesse
,
and
endued
with
diuine
and
sauing
graces
.
Q.
How
are
they
which
are
members
of
Christ
his
true
Church
,
made
happie
?
A.
The
true
Church
,
and
euery
member
are
blessed
&
made
happie
by
Christ
,
which
taketh
away
the
curse
and
wrath
of
God
due
for
sinne
from
them
,
and
bestoweth
his
righteousnesse
on
them
.
Q.
How
are
Christ
his
members
made
holy
?
A.
Through
his
holy
spirit
,
which
sanctifieth
all
the
elect
in
Christ
,
with
true
holinesse
.
Q.
How
are
they
replenished
here
on
earth
with
heauenly
graces
?
A.
As
the
Sunne-beames
are
made
pertakers
of
the
Sunnes
glory
and
brightnesse
:
So
the
true
Chruch
is
replenished
,
and
euery
part
made
pertakers
of
such
heauenly
vertues
and
diuine
graces
,
wherby
God
our
heauenly
Father
is
glorifyed
by
his
grace
giuen
to
the
members
of
the
Church
in
this
life
present
.
Q.
Doe
you
conclude
then
that
all
Christians
which
truely
beleeue
in
the
Sonne
of
God
,
which
are
sanctified
by
the
spirite
of
God
,
and
through
his
grace
expresse
in
this
life
the
glory
of
God
,
are
effectually
called
into
the
true
Church
,
and
they
are
rightly
called
the
true
Church
of
Christ
.
A.
This
is
my
conclusion
,
that
all
faithfull
people
,
elected
before
the
foundation
of
the
world
in
Christ
:
gathered
throughout
the
world
vniuersally
,
which
are
iustified
,
sanctified
,
and
ordained
to
be
glorified
,
are
the
true
Church
of
Christ
,
of
whom
Christ
is
the
Lord
and
head
,
and
are
therefore
called
the
true
Christian
Church
rightly
.
Q.
What
assurance
hath
the
Church
here
on
earth
of
Christes
loue
?
A.
Christ
hath
appoynted
the
preaching
of
Gods
blessed
Word
,
and
the
holy
Sacraments
as
testimonies
thereof
.
Q.
How
many
Sacraments
hath
Christs
ordayned
in
his
Church
,
necessary
for
the
saluation
of
his
Church
?
A.
Christ
hath
ordayned
,
and
in
his
church
instituted
the
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
,
to
receiue
and
entertaine
them
which
are
his
members
,
into
the
fauour
of
God
,
by
his
loue
.
Q.
What
other
Sacrament
was
by
Christ
instituted
?
A.
The
holy
feast
and
banquet
of
his
most
blessed
body
and
bloud
,
to
feede
them
and
sustaine
them
by
,
and
with
full
assurance
of
his
loue
.
Q.
What
meane
you
by
this
word
,
Sacraments
?
A.
Sacraments
are
outward
signes
,
that
doe
represent
all
those
spirituall
,
inwarde
sauing
graces
,
which
the
faithfull
receiue
from
God
through
Iesus
Christ
.
Q.
What
is
the
outward
signe
in
Baptisme
?
A.
Water
,
wherein
the
Childe
is
dipped
or
sprinkled
with
:
and
it
doth
represent
the
two
properties
of
Water
,
which
doth
both
clense
,
and
comfort
.
Q.
How
doth
the
propertie
of
clensing
agrée
with
the
inward
graces
represented
in
Baptisme
?
A.
The
propertie
of
clensing
,
representeth
the
clensing
of
our
sinnes
by
the
precious
and
pure
bloud
of
Christ
,
which
was
shed
on
the
Crosse
for
our
sinnes
.
Q.
How
doth
Water
in
Baptisme
represent
comfort
to
vs
?
A.
As
Baptisme
is
instituted
in
stead
of
Circumcision
,
which
was
a
seale
of
righteousnesse
by
faith
,
so
the
faithfull
are
sealed
,
and
comforted
by
faith
in
Christ
to
bee
saued
.
Q.
Doth
Baptisme
both
signifie
clensing
from
sinne
,
and
sealing
vnto
righteousnes
?
A.
Our
clensing
from
sinne
,
euen
from
the
infection
of
the
Leprosie
,
which
came
by
Adams
disobedience
:
And
the
essentiall
righteousnesse
which
commeth
by
Christ
,
is
represented
by
Baptisme
.
Q.
What
is
the
cause
you
compare
originall
sinne
to
the
infectious
disease
of
the
Leprosie
?
A.
The
word
doth
declare
originall
sinne
Gazar
▪
to
be
full
of
euill
,
to
flow
with
euill
,
and
to
ouerflow
all
men
naturally
,
with
corruption
tending
to
damnation
.
Q.
Doth
that
daungerous
disease
bring
daunger
of
damnation
naturally
on
all
men
?
A.
In
one
significant
word
the
Apostle
doth
Q.
How
are
the
faithfull
freed
from
this
infectious
sin
of
Leprosie
,
proceeding
from
Adams
disobedience
?
A.
As
it
came
by
disobedience
of
one
,
vpon
all
men
to
condemnation
:
So
it
is
taken
away
by
the
perfect
obedience
of
one
(
namely
of
Christ
)
from
all
that
be
members
of
Christ
,
and
ordayned
to
saluation
.
Q.
Are
not
all
men
as
well
as
some
partakers
of
that
benefite
,
by
the
perfect
obedience
of
Christ
?
A.
None
haue
this
benefite
by
Christ
,
but
the
regenerate
onely
.
Q.
What
meane
you
by
regeneration
?
A.
Regeneration
is
a
sauing
grace
in
Baptisme
,
pertaining
to
the
regenerate
onely
:
for
it
is
not
sufficient
for
children
to
be
dipped
into
the
water
,
but
to
bee
also
buryed
with
Christ
in
Baptisme
,
and
to
be
borne
anew
by
the
power
of
the
holy
Ghost
.
Q.
How
doth
this
appeare
in
the
regenerate
?
A.
As
many
as
spiritually
receiue
the
son
of
God
by
faith
,
to
be
their
Sauiour
:
they
receiue
priueledge
,
and
power
,
to
bee
the
sonnes
of
God
,
which
is
the
Father
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
father
of
all
the
faithfull
.
Q.
Shew
me
this
priuiledge
of
them
which
beleeue
,
and
how
they
be
borne
anew
and
made
the
sonnes
of
God
.
A.
They
are
not
begotten
of
flesh
&
bloud
,
nor
conceiued
of
the
will
of
the
flesh
,
nor
borne
of
the
will
of
man
,
but
of
God
.
Q.
How
commeth
it
to
passe
that
in
the
regenerate
,
the
blemish
of
sin
doth
remaine
,
being
borne
of
God
.
A.
God
doth
suffer
some
sinne
to
be
found
and
in
the
best
to
remaine
(
but
neuer
suffereth
it
to
raigne
)
&
it
remaineth
for
their
good
,
and
Gods
glory
.
Q.
Can
the
remaining
of
sinne
in
the
children
of
God
,
turne
to
their
good
,
and
Gods
glory
?
A.
It
can
and
doth
appeare
for
many
purposes
to
be
so
by
the
word
of
God
.
Q.
Shew
me
some
and
such
proofes
as
you
finde
to
be
approued
?
A.
First
,
the
faithfull
finde
,
that
feeling
sinne
,
and
finding
their
owne
corruption
:
therby
God
worketh
in
the
faithfull
a
true
humiliation
.
Secondly
,
when
the
faithfull
finde
they
haue
strong
combates
with
corruption
.
In
such
strong
conflicts
,
the
faithfull
flye
more
feruently
to
seeke
succour
of
God
,
by
feruent
prayer
,
and
earnest
inuocation
.
Thirdly
,
the
faithfull
finding
the
power
of
Gods
spirit
,
to
support
their
weakenesse
,
and
to
preserue
them
safely
in
all
perils
:
are
prouoked
to
praise
God
daily
for
their
safetie
and
preseruation
.
Fourthly
,
God
often
times
appoynteth
that
the
best
and
most
perfectest
shall
haue
strongest
battaile
with
corruption
:
That
when
the
victorie
is
gained
,
as
victors
and
valiant
Souldiers
of
Christ
:
a
greater
waight
of
glory
may
be
prouided
,
and
with
more
glorious
Crownes
of
immortall
glory
shall
such
be
crowned
and
glorified
.
Q.
Doe
you
conclude
then
,
that
all
the
elect
shal
be
glorified
,
which
liue
on
earth
to
Gods
glory
:
and
such
as
most
glorifie
God
before
men
,
shall
receiue
greatest
glorie
in
heauen
?
A.
It
must
be
so
concluded
as
it
is
by
testimonie
of
Christ
himselfe
conclnded
(
to
the
comfort
and
incouragement
of
all
godly
&
faithfull
members
of
his
true
Church
)
which
according
as
they
couenant
in
Baptisme
,
be
faithfull
vnto
death
.
Q.
What
is
the
dutie
of
Christians
which
are
partakers
of
the
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
?
A.
Those
things
ought
to
be
in
Christians
baptised
,
which
were
found
to
bee
in
Abraham
,
both
when
he
was
Circumcised
,
and
after
he
had
receiued
Circumcision
.
Q.
What
was
found
in
Abraham
before
Circumcision
?
A.
First
,
Abrahams
obedience
appeared
,
by
obeying
the
voyce
of
God
,
when
God
called
him
from
parents
and
patrimonie
,
from
kindred
,
and
countrey
.
Secondly
,
Abrahams
constant
beleife
did
appeare
,
in
beleeuing
,
and
by
faith
depending
on
Gods
promises
.
The
third
grace
found
in
him
before
Circumsion
was
his
willing
minde
,
both
to
receiue
the
couenants
made
by
Gods
Maiestie
,
and
to
make
couenants
of
dutifull
seruice
vnto
God
againe
.
Q.
How
can
Children
in
infancie
Baptised
,
take
any
couenants
from
God
,
or
make
any
couenants
to
God
.
A.
Although
Infants
Baptised
cannot
themselues
,
yet
their
suerties
do
enter
into
couenants
for
them
,
and
it
is
their
duties
when
they
come
to
knowledge
to
performe
those
couenants
:
And
as
they
hope
to
haue
God
to
be
their
Father
by
Christ
,
so
to
keepe
Christian
couenants
.
Q.
What
are
those
couenants
you
meane
?
A.
I
meane
a
Christian
is
first
bound
to
imbrace
the
Christian
faith
with
all
his
whole
heart
.
Secondly
,
to
loue
God
with
his
whole
heart
.
Thirdly
,
to
endeuour
to
serue
,
and
please
God
in
true
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
all
the
dayes
of
his
life
:
and
fourthly
,
to
expresse
such
obedience
in
this
life
,
as
his
couenants
hee
made
in
Baptisme
,
bind
him
to
performe
.
Q.
You
doe
approue
,
that
euen
very
Infants
receiuing
Baptisme
,
are
bound
by
couenants
to
performe
holy
duties
:
Shew
me
now
the
dutie
of
Elders
,
of
Parents
,
and
of
Masters
,
which
are
Christians
,
and
by
faith
hope
to
be
saued
.
A.
As
Abraham
father
of
the
faithfull
,
after
Circumcision
,
when
he
had
entered
into
couenant
with
God
,
according
to
that
couenant
,
himselfe
,
his
seede
,
and
his
seruants
(
by
his
instructions
)
did
walke
according
to
that
holy
and
heauenly
vocation
:
in
beleeuing
Gods
promises
,
&
liuing
vertuously
,
to
the
vttermost
of
his
power
obeyed
Gods
Commaundements
:
So
in
like
manner
,
by
vertue
of
their
couenant
in
Baptisme
,
all
Christians
are
bound
to
performe
such
duties
of
obedience
.
Q.
What
doth
Abrahams
faith
and
obedience
teach
vs
?
A.
As
Abraham
walked
,
so
faithfull
Christians
must
walke
:
and
endeuour
to
follow
his
steppes
in
faith
,
and
obedience
,
and
become
such
faithfull
Fathers
,
as
may
approue
them
,
not
onely
to
shewe
a
dutie
of
Parents
,
in
bringing
their
Children
to
the
holy
Sacrament
of
Baptisme
(
&
see
them
baptised
)
but
also
after
Baptisme
,
parents
must
and
are
bound
to
see
their
Children
&
seruants
instructed
&
educated
from
their
infancie
,
to
liue
holily
&
religiously
,
whereby
Gods
name
,
who
hath
called
them
,
may
bee
glorified
in
them
,
their
Children
,
and
familie
.
Q.
I
doe
vnderstand
what
you
meane
by
the
Church
of
Christ
:
and
likewise
the
benefites
of
Baptisme
,
and
dutie
of
Christians
in
Baptisme
(
which
hope
to
bee
saued
)
shew
mee
nowe
a
reason
why
the
faithfull
freed
from
eternall
death
,
doe
die
a
bodily
death
.
A.
The
benefits
of
bodily
death
are
many
to
the
faithfull
:
and
death
of
body
bringeth
aduantage
to
Christes
members
,
both
in
bodie
and
soule
.
Q.
What
benefites
bringeth
bodily
death
to
the
faithfull
?
A.
First
,
by
bodily
death
all
rebellious
affections
in
the
flesh
are
vtterly
killed
,
and
all
sinfull
affections
vtterly
quenched
.
Secondly
,
as
the
dead
bodie
is
buryed
:
so
all
carnall
affections
are
perfectly
mortified
:
And
euery
part
by
perfect
mortification
made
more
fit
to
receiue
glory
in
the
day
of
the
resurrection
.
Q.
Are
both
the
laying
into
graue
,
and
rifing
from
graue
,
benefits
to
the
faithfull
?
A.
The
graue
hath
euer
beene
a
chamber
of
safetie
to
the
faithfull
:
But
now
sithence
the
blessed
bodie
of
Christ
was
layd
into
the
graue
,
it
is
made
the
bedde
of
sweete
spycerie
to
the
godly
.
Q.
If
the
very
graue
bee
beneficiall
:
shew
me
what
benefits
doth
rising
from
graue
,
bring
to
the
buryed
bodies
of
Christians
?
A.
The
bodies
of
Christians
which
are
buryed
in
Seas
or
Land
,
are
sowne
in
corruption
,
in
dishonour
,
in
weakenesse
,
in
estate
mortall
,
they
rise
in
incoruption
,
in
honour
,
in
power
,
and

What
benefits
finde
the
faithfull
after
death
,
in

?
A.
The
death
of
euery
faithfull
member
of
Christ
,
washed
in
Baptisme
with
his
precious
bloud
,
is
precious
in

Here
followeth
the
third
part
of
the
Cristall
of
Christianitie
,
wherein
the
Sacrament
of
the
Lords
Supper
is
discussed
very
plainely
,
and
very
familiarly
.
Question
.
PRoceede
now
to
the
Sacrament
of
the
LORDS
SVPPER
,
and
both
shew
me
the
outwarde
signes
of
the
Sacrament
,
and
what
inward
sauing
grates
be
thereby
presented
to
the
Church
?
A.
The
signes
in
the
Lords
Supper
are
bread
and
wine
,
signifying
by
bread
,
his
blessed
body
broken
for
vs
,
and
by
wine
,
his
precious
bloud
,
powred
out
for
remission
of
our
sinnes
.
Q.
How
doth
bread
signifie
his
bodie
,
and
represent
the
blessings
of
his
bodie
to
vs
?
A.
As
the
word
for
bread
in
the
true
signification
,
doth
signifie
all
kinde
of
sustentation
and
nourishment
for
our
bodies
,
so
doth
the
giuing
vs
his
bodie
,
signifie
spiritually
all
sustentation
for
soule
and
bodie
.
He
is
our
wisedome
,
he
is
our
sanctification
,
he
is
our
iustification
,
he
is
our
redemption
,
he
is
our
saluation
:
The
giuing
of
Christ
from
God
to
mankind
,
is
with
him
,
giuing
all
good
things
to
mankind
,
for
this
life
,
and
the
life
to
come
,
for
hee
is
the
true
bread
that
came
downe
from
heauen
to
sustaine
vs
by
his
grace
on
earth
,
vntill
wee
attaine
glory
with
him
in
heauen
.
Q.
How
doth
Wine
represent
his
bloud
powred
out
for
vs
?
A.
Christ
calleth
himselfe
the
true
Vine
,
and
his
grapes
are
spirituall
graces
,
and
as
he
is
full
of
grace
,
so
his
grapes
are
full
of
spirituall
power
:
and
when
his
head
was
with
thornes
rased
,
his
hands
and
his
feete
with
nailes
boared
,
his
sides
and
heart
pierced
,
the
purified
Wine
of
his
peirced
heart
,
was
powred
out
(
to
comfort
our
hearts
)
wherewith
hee
doth
commaund
his
Prophet
to
comfort
his
people
at
the
heart
,
namely
,
with
pardon
of
their
sinnes
,
which
comfort
of
remission
of
sinnes
,
doth
approue
his
bloud
to
haue
the
propertie
of
Wine
,
which
is
comfortable
.
Q.
You
call
it
a
banquet
,
and
a
Supper
of
Christ
,
shew
mee
for
whom
this
feast
is
made
,
and
especially
prouided
?
A.
It
is
made
principally
to
his
true
church
which
before
I
expressed
to
bee
the
true
beleeuers
,
and
none
but
the
true
beleeuers
,
are
effectually
partakers
of
this
spirituall
banquet
.
Q.
Doe
not
all
that
communicate
at
the
Lords
table
,
by
the
signe
of
bread
receiue
the
sauing
graces
represented
by
the
bread
.
A.
As
wicked
Iudas
receiued
the
bread
of
Christ
,
but
not
Christ
the
true
bread
,
so
as
many
as
bee
Communicants
,
hauing
such
or
the
like
corruption
,
can
neuer
receiue
the
body
of
Christ
,
and
his
benefites
presented
by
the
bread
(
consecrated
by
the
Word
)
although
they
receiue
bread
and
wine
at
the
Sacrament
with
others
.
Q.
How
doth
the
bread
that
is
consecrated
differ
from
other
bread
,
which
is
vsuall
for
the
nourishment
of
our
bodies
?
A.
As
Waxe
before
it
hath
impression
of
a
Seals
,
is
bare
Waxe
,
and
after
it
is
more
,
it
is
a
Seale
:
So
the
vsuall
water
in
Baptisme
,
and
Bread
and
Wine
in
the
Lords
Supper
,
by
the
word
are
made
sacraments
and
seaies
,
of
assurance
from
Christ
,
to
assure
his
true
Church
(
and
euery
member
thereof
)
of
his
sauing
graces
conteined
in
the
Sacraments
.
Q.
What
may
bee
the
difference
of
men
,
which
communicate
all
at
one
Communion
?
A.
As
the
daunger
or
perill
of
the
one
is
great
,
because
they
receiue
it
vnworthily
,
not
considering
the
Lords
bodie
,
and
often
times
such
for
vnworthy
receiuing
,
doe
receiue
punishment
,
and
sometimes
such
doe
eate
and
drinke
their
owne
damnation
,
as
the
Apostle
testifieth
.
So
the
benefit
of
them
that
receiue
it
worthily
is
great
,
for
by
faith
they
feeding
spiritually
,
doe
eate
the
spirituall
foode
(
which
neuer
perisheth
)
by
vertue
whereof
they
are
preserued
from
perishing
,
and
sustained
vnto
eternall
life
.
Q.
What
meaneth
the
Apostle
by
eating
and
drinking
their
owne
damnation
in
the
Lords
supper
?
A.
The
Apostle
doth
signifie
,
that
euen
this
banquet
receiued
by
the
wicked
persons
,
carelesse
,
and
without
consideration
of
their
owne
impietie
,
without
faith
,
repentance
,
or
charitie
,
trampling
vnder
foote
that
precious
bloud
:
Euen
for
such
contempt
(
hée
meaneth
)
such
wicked
persons
shall
finde
the
receiuing
thereof
,
to
testifie
their
condemnation
more
fully
.
Q.
What
doth
he
meane
that
he
saith
,
some
of
you
are
sicke
,
some
are
weake
,
and
some
are
falne
asleepe
?
A.
He
admonisheth
them
which
were
(
and
vs
that
are
now
reputed
faithfull
professors
)
that
for
lack
of
that
worthinesse
,
which
is
required
of
them
,
and
vs
which
come
not
fully
or
fitly
prepared
,
such
were
and
are
punished
with
such
sicknesses
and
punishments
,
as
might
make
them
better
to
consider
their
owne
crimes
,
and
vnaduised
receiuing
Christ
his
blessed
bodie
:
and
so
condenme
their
owne
selues
:
And
by
such
punishment
also
God
moueth
them
to
flie
to
him
for
mercy
in
this
world
,
that
they
may
not
with
the
wicked
of
this
world
,
perish
in
the
world
to
come
,
for
want
of
Christian
duties
.
Q.
What
duties
are
of
Christians
required
which
come
to
this
Sacrament
of
Christ
,
that
they
may
be
reputed
worthy
receiuers
thereof
?
A.
There
is
required
principally
of
them
,
a
three-folde
consideration
or
examination
,
which
worthily
and
effectually
bee
partakers
of
Christ
.
Q.
Shew
me
those
principall
considerations
,
and
examinations
?
A.
As
it
is
not
fit
for
a
seruant
,
or
a
subiect
,
to
come
to
the
Table
of
a
temporall
King
vncleanly
,
or
vncomely
,
so
it
is
much
more
vnfit
and
further
offence
to
come
to
the
table
of
the
eternall
king
Christ
Iesus
,
with
any
kind
of
vncleannesse
,
as
might
giue
offence
to
his
mightie
Maiestie
.
Q.
Shew
mee
first
what
cleannesse
is
required
of
Christians
,
comming
to
his
presence
,
to
be
pertakers
of
this
precious
banquet
?
A.
The
people
were
commaunded
when
they
came
to
heare
the
Law
promulgated
on
Sina
,
Certaine
dayes
to
wash
and
sanctifie
themselus
,
before
they
came
to
heare
the
Law
:
When
the
Lord
would
haue
his
people
talke
with
his
Maiestie
,
he
commanded
them
to
wash
them
,
and
make
them
cleane
from
all
their
wirkednesse
.
Before
King
Dauid
came
to
Gods
Altar
,
he
washed
his
handes
in
innocencie
.
And
Christ
Iesus
did
both
wash
and
wipe
the
very
féete
of
the
Apostles
,
when
he
would
make
them
fit
for
this
feast
.
Q.
What
learne
we
by
all
these
washings
?
A.
First
,
when
we
come
to
heare
the
Law
or
Gospell
preached
,
all
wickednesse
,
and
vngodlinesse
must
be
washed
by
earnest
sorrow
,
for
former
sinnes
committed
,
and
our selues
sanctified
by
beliefe
,
that
pardon
for
sinne
,
and
increase
of
grace
,
may
by
Christ
be
granted
.
Secondly
,
when
we
come
to
the
maiesty
of
the
glorious
God
,
by
inuocation
,
or
prayer
,
we
must
with
the
Publican
see
and
bee
sorrowfull
for
our
owne
miserie
:
and
not
with
a
proud
,
but
a
pure
zeale
of
soule
hope
to
be
purged
,
pardoned
,
and
by
Christ
iustified
.
Thirdly
,
we
must
not
presume
to
come
to
the
Temple
,
nor
to
the
Altar
,
nor
Table
of
this
great
King
,
vntill
heart
,
and
hand
,
bodie
,
and
soule
,
and
euery
part
,
be
found
,
by
proofe
,
to
be
pure
and
cleane
.
Fourthly
,
by
Christ
we
are
taught
,
that
except
we
be
washed
by
him
,
&
be
pronounced
cleane
by
his
mouth
,
none
are
fit
for
this
feast
,
and
that
is
the
cause
that
the
Apostle
sayth
,
some
eate
&
drinke
their
olone
damnation
,
because
that
euery
man
doth
not
examine
himselfe
to
find
,
his
testimony
of
his
washing
(
through
Christ
Iesus
,
Lord
of
the
feast
)
before
hee
come
to
the
Lordes
feast
,
and
blessed
Sacrament
of
his
bodie
and
bloud
.
Q.
As
you
haue
shewed
me
what
cleanlines
is
fit
for
Christian
Communicants
,
so
shew
me
what
comelinesse
is
required
at
the
table
and
Supper
of
the
Lord
?
A.
As
at
a
festiuall
Table
of
a
King
,
comely
and
desent
garments
are
required
:
so
at
the
feast
and
table
of
the
Lord
,
euery
Christian
must
haue
a
comely
and
Christian
garment
,
such
as
may
please
God
through
Christ
.
Q.
What
garment
is
fit
for
a
Christian
to
come
to
the
Lords
table
in
?
A.
There
belongeth
first
,
a
Christian
care
of
casting
away
the
garment
of
the
old
corrupt
Adam
.
And
secondly
,
an
indeuour
to
put
on
Christ
Iesus
.
Q.
Shew
me
what
the
casting
away
of
the
olde
Adam
doth
signifie
?
A.
First
,
it
signifieth
the
casting
away
the
corruptions
that
we
are
clothed
with
naturally
,
by
Adams
transqression
,
and
the
Apostle
nameth
them
to
be
principally
these
following
,
namely
,
lying
and
slandring
in
any
sort
.
Secondly
,
stealing
,
and
all
kinde
of
false
dealing
,
vncomely
,
vngodly
,
and
especially
all
filthie
and
prophane
talking
.
Thirdly
,
all
bitternesse
,
wrath
,
&
wrathfull
,
or
euill
speaking
one
to
another
,
séeing
we
are
all
members
of
one
bodie
.
Fourthly
,
and
finally
,
to
banish
and
cast
from
vs
,
all
thoughts
,
words
,
&
workes
,
that
eyther
are
euill
or
tend
to
euill
purposes
.
Q.
Let
me
now
vnderstand
what
the
putting
on
Christ
Iesus
meaneth
?
A.
First
,
we
must
vnderstand
the
remoouing
from
the
minde
inwardly
all
euils
,
is
the
worke
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
which
afterward
doth
cloth
and
garnish
the
godly
with
the
forme
and
shape
of
God
in
true
holines
and
righteousnesse
by
Christ
.
Q.
Shew
me
the
signes
of
the
holinesse
and
righteousnesse
by
Christ
Iesus
bestowed
on
vs
?
A.
As
we
are
clothed
by
Christ
with
sanctification
of
Gods
spirit
,
and
iustification

effectually

or
restoring
againe

for

in
his

did
suffer
all
things

of
all
faithfull
beleeuers
:
And
must

his
passion
,
from
all
manner
of
sinne

vaine
conuersation
.
Q.
What
must
a
Christian
consider
,
and
beleeue
in
Christ
his
powerfull
Resurrection
?
A.
A

consider
,
that
as
Christ
Iesus
dyed
for
the
saluation
of
the

(
namely
a
Christian
)
must

thereby
he
is

eternally

both
in

consideration

faithfull
beleife

of
heauen
(

,
that
where
Christ
is
,
euery
beleeuer
shall
be
,
and
also
bee
fully
perswaded
,
that
from
the
right
hand
of
God
,
where
Christ
nowe
sitteth
in
glory
Celestiall

Iesus
Christ
shall

all

what
becommeth
a

Christ
.
A.
That

not
the

when
the
feeling
of
Gods
grace

filleth
the

such
fulnesse
of
true
gratuitie
,

of

so
with
prayse
and
heartie
thankesgiuing

thereby
forced
to

and
holy
Ghost

by
feeding
on
that
spirituall
sustentation
,
and
drinking
of
the
cup
of
saluation
,
in
remembrance
of
Christ
:
This
grace
of
thankesgiuing
is
giuen
to
all
the
faithfull
