How art thou in the Lord's Supper admonifloed and affured, that thou art a Partaker of that only Sacrifice of Chrifl offered on the Crofs , end of all his Benefits ? Anfwer. BEcaufe Chrifl hath commanded me and all the faithful , to eat of this Bread broken, and to drink of the Cup diflributed in Remembrance of Him, with thefe Promifes w adjoi- ned. Firft , that his Body was as cer- tainly broken and offered for me on the Crofs and his Blood (lied for me , as I behold with my Eyes the Bread of the Lord broken unto me, and the Cup communicated to me. And fur- ther, that my Soul is no lesf affuredly fed to everlalling Life with his Body which was crucified fcr us, and his Blood which was (bed for us ; than I tafte by the Mouth of my Body the Bread and Wine, the Signs of the Body and Blood of our Lord , received from the Hand of the Minifter. 7<5. Quefl. What is it to eat tie Body of Chrifl crucified , and to drink bis Blood which was {hid? Anf. It is not only to embrace by an allured Confidence of Mind, the whole Paffion and Death of Chrifl , and thereby to a obtain Forgivencfs of Sins , and eternal Life; but alfo by the Holy Ghofl, who dwelleth both in Chrifl and us , more and more to be b united to his facrcd Body : fo that though He be in c Heaven , and we on Earth , yet nevertheless arc we Flefh of his Flefh, and Bone of his <* Bones. And as all the Members of the Body are quickned « and govcrn'd by one Soul fo are we alfo by one and the fame Spirit. 77. Quefl. Where bath Cbrift promifed f 1 Cor.i 1. 23. Marc. 16. 16. Man. 14. 22.

Anf. In the Infli union of his Sup- per , the Words whereof are thefe. f The Lord lefts in the fame Night in which He was betrayed, took Bread: and when He had given Thanks , He brake it, and f aid, Take, eat; this is my Body , which is broken for you : tbis do in Remembrance of me. After the fame Maimer alfo He took the Cup , when He had flipped , faying, g tbis gExo. 2. Cup is the New Teflament in my Blood : h ' Tbis do ye , as ojten as ye drink it , in Remembrance of me. for as often as ye eat this Bread , and drink tbis Cup, "ye do floe w the Lord's Death till He come. ThisPromife is repeated by S.Paul, when he faith « , The Cup of Bleffwg which we blefs , is it not the Commu- nion of the Blood of Chrifi ? The Bread wbicb we break, is it not the Commtt' nion of the Body of Chrifl ? For we being many, are one Bread and one Body; becaufe we all are Partakers of that one Bread. 29. Lord's Day 7R. Qued. Are then the Bread and Wine , become the very Body and Blood of Cbrill ? Anf. Not at all. k But as the Wa- ter of Baptifm is not turned into the Blood of Chrifl nor is ic the Waihing away of Sin itfelf but is a Sign and Pledge of thole things ; So neither is the Bread of the Lord's Supper the very Body of l Chrifl, although accor- ding to the Manner of Sacraments , and that "» Form of fpeaking of them which is ufual unto the Holy Ghofl, the Bread is called the Body of Chrifl. 79.

QUeflr. tVhdt Difference is there between the Supper of the Lord, and tie popifb Mafs ? Anf 'The Supper of the Lord tefti- fieth to us, that we have perfect Forgivenefs of all our Sins d for that only Sacrifice of Chrift , which He himie'f once finifhed on the Crofs. Then alfo , that we by the Holy Gholt are ingrafted e into Chrift, who now according to his human Nature, is f only in Heaven , at the light Hand of his Father , and there will be g worfhipped by us. But in the Mafs it is denied , that the Quick and the Dead have Remifllon of Sins only for the Paflion of Chrift ; except alfo Chr'ifl be daily offred for them by the Sacrifices Further alfo it is taught, that Chrift is bodily under the Form of Bread and Wine, and therefore is to be h worfhipped in them. And fo the very Foundation of the Mafs is nothing elfe than an utter » Denial of that only Sacrifice and Paflion of Chrift Iefus, and an accurfed Idolatry. 81. Qucft. Who are to be permitted to come unto the Table of the Lord? Anf. They only who are truely forrowful a , that they have offended God by their Sins : but who truft that thofe Sins are pardoned them for ChrihVs Sake : and what other Infir- mites b they have , that thofe are covered by his Paflion and Death. Who alfo c defire more and more to go forward in Faith and Integrity of Life. But Hypocrites, and they who do not truly repent , do eat and d drink Damnation to themfelves. 82. Queit. Are they alfo to be admit- ted to this Supper , who in ConfeJJton and Life declare themfelves to be infi- dels and ungodly ? Anf. Not at all. For by that Means the Covenant of God is profaned , and the Wrath of God is e ftirred up againft the whole Affembly. Where- fore the Church by the Command of Ifa. 1. u.

What are required in that Prayer , which will pleafe God, and be heard of Him ? Anf.

And through an inward c Feeling of our Need and Mifery , d fhould humbly proftrate ourfelves in the Prefcnce of the divine Ma- jtfty.

WE all believe with the Heart and confefs with the Mouth, that there is one only and fimple ipiritual Being , which we call God : EVERLASTING , INCOMPREHENSIBLE , INVISIBLE, UNCHANGEABLE , INFI- NITE, ALMIGH1T, PERFECT LT WISE, JUST, AND GOOD, AND THE SUPER. ABOUNDING FOUNTAIN OF ALL GOOD. II. We know Him by two Means. Firft by the Creation, Prefervation , and Government of the whole World; ilucc it is before our Eyes as a moil beautiful Book , in which all the Creatures , both great and fmall , are as fo many Characters , leading us unto the Con- templation of the invifible things of God, viz. bis eternal Power and Godhead, as the Apoftle Paul faith , Rom. 1. 20. Ail which things are fufficient to covincc Mankind , and to leave them without excufe. Secondly He makes Him- ielf known unto us much more plainly and fully by his boly and divine Word, to wit, as far as it is neceflary in this Life for his Glory and our Salvation. III. We confefs that this Word of God was not fent nor delivered by the Will of Man, but iioly Men of God fpoke as they were moved by tbe Holy Gbofi , as the Apoftle Peter tell us. But God afterwards , from a fpecial Care which He takes for us and our Salvation, comman- ded his Servants, the Prophets, and Apoftles, to commit thefe his Oracles to Writing. And He Himfelf wrote with his own Finger, the two Tables of the Law. Therefore we call fuch Writings, holy and divine Scriptures. IV. W.he comprehend the Holy Scriptures in the two Volums of the old and new Tefhiment, which are canonical Books, without all Con- tradiction. Thefe are fummed up in the Church of God after this Manner. The Books of the Old Tcflament are the five Books of Mofes, viz. Gene/is, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deu- teronoviy; tbe Book of Jo'lma, Judges, Rutb , two Books of Samuel , and two Books of the Kings , two Books of tbe Chronicles ; the firjl Book of Ezra, Nebemiab , Ejlber , Job, tbe Pfalms of David , the chrec Books of Salomon, viz. the Proverbs, Ecckfiafles , and tbe Song of Songs; the four greater Prophets, viz. Jfaiab, Jeremiab , Ezekiel and Daniel; and the other twelve leiTer Prophets, viz. Hofea, Joel, Amos, Obadiab, Jonab, Micab, Nabum, Habbakuk, Zepbaniab , Haggai , Zechariab , Malacbi Thofe of the New Teftament are the four Evange- lifts , viz. Matbew , Mark , Luke, John; the ASts of tbe Apoftles , the fourteen Epiftles of the Apoftle Paul, viz. to tbe Romans, two to tbe Corinthians , to the Galatians , to tbe Epbe- fians , to the Pbilippians , to tbe ColoJJians , two to the Tbeffalonians , two to Timothy, to Titus, to Philemon, to \he Hebrews ; the feven fcpift- Ics of the other Apoftles , viz. tbe Epijlie of James » rbe two Epiflles of Peter , the tor eg C 3 Epiflles it Epifiles of John , lie Epijlle of Jude , and the Revelation of the Apojlle John. Ccnfejfton of Faiib. V. All thefe Books and thefe only, we receive as holy and canonical , for the regulating , grounding, and confirming, of our faith be- lieving without any doubt all thefe Things which are contained in them, not lb much becaufe the Church doth receive and approve them for fuch ; buc more Specially beciufe the Holy Ghoft bears Witneis in our Hearts that they are come from God ; fince they carry the Evi- dence of it along with them: for the very blind are able to perceive the fulfilling of thofe Mat- ters, that are fore-tol^ in them. VI. Whe diftinguifh thofe holy Books from the Apocryphal, viz. The third and fourth Book of Ezdras , the Booh of Tobie and Judith, the Books of Wisdom, ffefus Syrach, Baruch , the Appen- dix to the. Book of Eflber , the Prayer of the three young Men in the Furnace, the Hiftory of Sufonna , that of the Image of Bell and the Dra- gon, the Prayer of Manaffe , and likwife the two Books of the Maccbabees. All which the Church may read, and take Inftru&.'on out of them , in as much as they do agree with the Canonical Books. But they have by no Means fuch a Power and Efficacy , as to confirm by any of their Teftimonies, any Point of Faith or chriftian Religion ; much lefs , to detract from the Authority of thofe other holy Books. V II. We believe that thefe holy Scriptures do fully contain the Will of God, and that every thing, which a Man ought to believe unto Salvation , is fufficicntly taught in the fame. For fince the whole Manner of divine Worfhip which God requires of us , is writ down in them at large , it is unlawful , for any one though an Apofllc, to teach Othcrwife than we are taught ' by the holy Scriptures ; nay though it was an Angel from Heaven, as S. Paul fitith. For fince it is forbidden to add unto , or take away any thing from the Word of God , it doth thereby evidently appear that the Dottrine of it is very perfect, and compleat in all Rcfpefts. Neither ought we to compare the Writings c ( ?ny Men , tho never fo holy , unto thofe divine Scriptures ; nor ought we to compare Cuftom or the g r eat Multitude, or Antiquity, or Suc- ccilion of Times or Perfons , or Councels , De- crees or Statutes , with the Truth of God, for the Truth is above all. For all Men are natu- rally Liars, and more vain than Vanity itfelf. Therefore we reject with our very Heart , every thing which doth not agree with tnis infallible Rule , as the Apoftles have taught us, faying. Try the Spirits whether they are of God. And , // there come any unto you , and bring not this Do&rine , receive him not into your Houfe, VIII. According to this Truth and this Word of God, we believe in one only God , who is one fingle Effence, in which there are three Perfons really, truely, and eternally difHngui- fhed, according to their incimmuijicaole Pro- perties , viz. The FATHER, and the , the WORD, the SON, and JESUS CHRIST, muft neceffarily have then exifted, when all things were created by him. And therefore faith the Prophet Micah, His Goings forth have been from of Old, from Everlajling; and the Apoftle fays , That He bath neither Be- ginning of Days , nor End of Life. He there- fore is that true, eterna 1 and omnipotent God 5 whom we invoke, worfhip and ferve. XL We believe and confefs alfo that the Holy Ghoft proceeds from tbe Father and the Son from Eternity ; and therefore is not made , nor creared , nor born , but only proceeding from both ; who is in Order the third Perfon off *4 Confejjlon of Faith. of the Trinity ; coeffential , and equal inMajefty ard Glory with the Father and the Son : and therefore is true and eternal God, as the holy Scriptures do* teach us. XII. Wc believe that the Father by the Word, that is, by his Son hath created of Nothing, the Heaven , the Earth , ard all Creatures , which it fcemed good unto Him , giving; unto every Creature its Being , Shape and Form, and feveral Offices to ferve its Creator. That He doth alfo uphold and govern them at all Times by his eternal Providence and infinite Power, for the Service of Mankind ; that fo Man may ferve his God. He hath alfo created the Angels good , to be his Meifengers , and Minifters unto his eleft ; fome of which are fallen from that Excellency, in which God created them , into everlafting Deftruftion ; and others have remained ftedfaft , by the Grace of God , and continued in their primi- tive State. But the Devils and evil Spirits are fo far corrupted , that they are become Enemies unto God and every good thing: who like Robbers, do employ all their Powers to enfnare the Church and every Member thereof, that by their wicked Stratagems they might ruin and deflroy all. And fo they are adjuged by their own Maliciousnefs unto eternal Con- demnation , daily expecting their horrible Tor- ments. Therefore we abhor the Error of the Sadducees, who deny the Exiftcnce of Spirits and Angels; as alfo the Error of the Manichces , who affirm that the Original of Devils is of themfelves, and that they arc evil from their own Nature, without having corrupted them- felves. XIII. We believe that the fame good God, after having created all things , hath not dismift them , nor given them up to Chance or Fortune; but governs and rules them according to his holy Will, fo that Nothing fhould fail out in this World without his Direction; ncvcrthelefs God is neither the Author of Sin, nor guilty of any that is commuted. For fo great and incoinprchenfiblc are his Power and Good/iefs , that He orders and executes his own Work in the rrvoll excellent and juil Manner, even then when Devils and wicked Men do acl: injuftly. And as to his ailing of any thing which l'ur- p:ifTes the Underltanding of Men ; we will not be too nice in Searching any futher, than our Capacity will admit ; but rather with all due Refpeet and Veneration we humbly adore the righteous Judgements of God, which are hid from us ; contenting ourfeives that we are Difciples of Chrifh , only to learn thofe things, which He difcovers to us in his Word, without palTing beyond thofe Limits. This Doctrine affords us unfpeakabie Conlblation ; fince we are taught thereby , that nothing can befal us by Chance , or without the Direction of our moft bountiful and heavenly Father , who watches over us with a paternal care, keeping all Creatures f6 under his Power > that' not a Hair of our Head (for they are all numbrcd) nor a Sparrow , can fall upon the Ground , without the Will of our Father. In whom we do entirely trull , being pcrfwaded that He holds the Devils, and all our other Enemies fad, as it were in Chains, fo that without his Will and Permiffioti they have no Power to hurt us. And thus we rejeft that detefhble Error of the Epicurean's, who fay, that God doth not trouble Himfelf with any thing, but permits all to be afted by Chance. XIV. We believe that God created Man out of the Duft of the Earth, and that He made and formed him after his own Image and Likenefs, good, righteous and holy, being able to make his Will agree in all things with the Will of God. Hut being flated in Honour he himfelf did not underftand ir , ncicher knew he his Excellency ; biit fubje&eJ himfelf wilfully into Sin , and confequently unto Death and the Curfe , giving Ear unto the Words of the Devi). For he transgrcfTed the Command of Life , which he had received , and by Sin feparated himfelf from God , who was his true Life , having corrupted his whole Nature: whereby he hath expofed himfelf to corpora! and Spiri- tual Death. Being thus become wicked, per- verted, and corrupted in all his Ways, he has loft all thefe excellent Gifts, which he had recived from God ; having nothing left him, but fome fmall Remnants thereof, which how- ever are fufficient to leave Man without Ex- cufe: ConfeJJton cf Fahb. cufe : for ail the Light which is in us , is changed into Darknefs ; as the Scriptures do teach us , faying The Light ffnneth in Darknefs , and the Darknefs comprehended it not. Where St. John calls Men Darknefs. Therefore we reject whatever is taught , contrary to this , concerning thee Free- Will of Men , fince Man is but a Slave to Sin , and has Nothing of himfelf but what is given him from Heaven. For who may prcfume to boaft of any good which he is able to do of himfelf ; fince Chrift faith No man can come unto me, except the Fa- ther, who has fent me , draws Mm. Who can glory in his own Wi7i, who undetftands that to be carnally minded is Enmity againfl God? Who can fpeak of his Knowledge, fince the natural Man receivetb net the things of the Spirit of Cod? In a Word, who may venture to al- ledge lb much as one Thought, fince he knows, that we are not able out of ourfelves to think any thing, as jrom ourfelves, but that our Ability is from God. And therefore what the Apoflle faith ought juftly to remain fure and firm; That God tuorketb in us both to Will and to do , of bis good Pleafure : for there is no Understanding nor Will in Man conformable unto the divine Will andUndeiftanding but what Chrift has wrought in them ; which He teacheth us , when He faith, Without vie ye can do Nothing. XV. We believe that through the Disobedience of Adam original Sin has (bread it felf over all Mankind: which is a Corruption of the whole Nature, and an hereditary Difeafe wherewith Infants thcmfelvcs are infected even in their Mothers Womb, and which producer!) in Man all Sorts of Sin, being in him as .a Root thereof; ahd is therefore fo vile and execrable in the Sight of God , that it is ftifneient to condemn all Mankind ; neither is it quite abolilhed or deftroyed by Bap ti fin : fkfce Sin doth always iffue forth from this woeful Source as Water from a Fountain: yet it'is not imputed to the Children of God unto Condemnation, but by his Grace and Mercy it is forgiven them: not however J that they fhould reft fecurely in Sin ; but rather that Believers fhould often groan under the Scnfe of this Corruption, df firing to be delivered from this Body of Death. And therefore we reject the Doctrine of the 25 Pelagians , who aflfert that this Sin proceeds only from Imitation. XVI. We believe that after the whole Pcfterity of Adam was thus fallen into Perdition and Ruin by the Sin of the firft Man , God hath ihewed Himfelf fuch as He is viz. Merciful and Juft: Merciful, without all Doubt, fiince He delive- red and preferveth all theft: from this Perdi- tion , whom He hath elected in his eternal and unchangeable Council, from his own un- deferved Gooduefs in Chrift Jefus our Lord; and that without any Regard unto their Works. J'ujl alfo, by his leaving others "in the Fall ad bt ftruction , whereinto they have caft thcm- felvcs. XVII. We believe that our mod gracious God by his admirable Wisdom and Goodncfs , feeing that Man had caft himfelf into a corporal and fpiritual Death , and fo was become a moft miferable Creature, hath even fought for him and conforted him when he fled away from him with Trembling ; promifing him to give his Son , who fhould be born of a Woman , who fhould bruife the Head of the Serpent, and thereby reftore him to Happinefs. XVIII, We confefs therefore that God hath fulfilled the Promifes which He made unto the Fathers by the Mouth of his holy Prophets, in Sen- ding his own only begotten and eternal Son into the World in due Time, v/ho took upon him the Form of a Servant , and became like unto Man , having really affirmed the true human Nature, with all its" Infirmities, Sin only excepted ; being conceived in the Womb of 'the bleffed Virgin Mary, by the Virtue of the Holy Ghofl without the Means of Man. And Pie haLh not only taken upon Him the human Nature , as to the Body , but alfo a real human Soul, that fo He might be a real Man. For fince that both the Soul and the Body were loft, it was needful that He fhould take them both upon Him, that fo they might both be faved. Therefore in Oppoficion to the Herefy of the Anabaptifts , who deny that D Chrift 2(5 Confeflion of Faith, Chrift took human Flefh from his Mother, we confefs , that Chrift is become Partaker of the Flefh and Blood of Children ; that He is a Fruit of the Loins of David after the Flefh ; proceeded from the Seed of David after the Flefh; the Fruit of the Virgin Ma- ry's Womb; made of a Woman, a Branch of David , a Shoot from the Root of JeiTe , defen- ded from the Tribe of Judah; proceeded from the Jews after the Flefh, of the Seed of Abra- ham , fince He took upon Him the Seed of Abraham , and is become like unto bis Brethren in all things , Sin excepted; fo that by this Means, of a Truth He is our Immanuel , that is, God with us. XIX. We believe that the Perfon of the Son , through this Conception, is united and joined infeparably with the human Nature; fo that there are not two Sons of God, nor two Per- fons ; but two Natures united in one fingle Perfon, whereof each retains its own difth.cl: Properties. For as the divine Nature hath always been uncreated, without Beginning of Days or End of Life , filling Heaven and Earth; fo alfo the human Nature did not lofe its Properties, but remained a Creature, having Beginning of Days, and a finite Nature, re- taining all that which belongs to a true Body. And although He conferred Immortality upon it, by his Refurreftion, yet He hath not chan- ged the Reality of his human Nature: becaufe our Salvation and Refurreclion alfo depends upon the Reality of his Body. Moreover thefe two Natures are united fo clofe in one Perfon , that they have not been feparated even by his Death. Therefore that which at his Dying He committed into the Hands of His Father , was a real human Spirit, Departing from his Body: neverthelefs the divine Nature was al- ways united with the human, even when He laid in the Grave: And the Godhead did not ceafe in Him, ("any more than it did when He was a little Child,) tho it did not appear fo manifeftly for a while. Therefore we con fefs Him to be real God and real Man; real God, to overcome Death, by his Power; and real Man> that by the Infirmity of his Flcfli Me might be in a Condition to die for us- XX. We believe that God , who is perfectly merciful and juft, hath fent his Son to take upon Him that Nature, in which the Difobed- ience was committed: that io in it He might give Satisfaction for , and fuffer the Punifli- ments of Sin by his bitcer Paffion and Death. Thus God hath exercifed his Juftice againft his Son, when He laid our Sins upon Him; and hath poured forth his Goodnefs and Mercy upon us , who were guilty and worthy of Condemnation ; in giving his fon up unto Death for us, through a perfect Love; and railing Him up from the dead for our Juftifica- tion , that to by Him we might obtain Im- mortality, and Life eternal. xx r. We believe Jefus Chrift to be by Oath or- dained an eternal High-Prieft after the Order of Melchiledcc, who hath prefented Himfelf to the Father in our Name, in order to pacify the divine Wrath by his complete Satisfaction, Offering Himfelf upon the Tree of the Oofs, and pouring forth his own molt precious Blood to purge away our Sins, as the Prophets had foretold. For it is written, He was wounded for our Transgreffwns , He was bruifed for cur Iniquities : tie Cbajlifement of our Peace was upon Him , and with bis Stripes we are healed: He was brought as a Lamb to the Slaughter : and He was numbred wicb the TiansgreJJors. That He was condemned as a Malefactor by Pontius Pilate , although he had formerly pronounced Him innocent. Thus He reftored that which He took not away , and fuffered , though juft , for the unjufi , both in Body and Soul , feeling the horobte Pun.fhmcnt which our Sins deierved , infomuch that his Sweat became like unto Drops of Blood jailing upon the Ground. And at length he cryed out , My God , my God , why bajl thou forfaken Me ? Suffering all this for ' the Remiffion of our Sins. Therefore we juffJy fay with the Apoftle Paul , That we determine to know Nothing but Jefus Cbrijt, and Him crucified; yea we count all things but loff and Dung , Jor the Excellency of the Knowledge of our Lord Jefus Chrifi: in whufe Wounds we find all Manner of Confo- 1. lation , aud we have no Need to feek or in- vent Confejfion of Faith. 27 vent any other Means, to be reconciled unto God, but this one Sacrifice once offered up, through which Believers are made perfeft for ever This alfo is the Caufe why He was called bv the Angel of God, JESUS, that is SAFIO'UR, becaufe He Jbould fave his People from their Sins. XXII. We believe, That for the Attaining to the true Knowledge of this Myftery , the Holy Ghoft kindles in our Hearts a true Faith by which we embrace Jefus Chrift with a 1 his Merits, and appropriate Him to ourfelves , feeking Nothing befides Him. For it mult needs 'follow, that either every thing, which is required to our Salvation , is not in Chnlt Jefus; or if all things are in Him, then he, who enjoys Chrift by faith , mult have his Salvation entire. Now to fay that Chrift is not fnfficient , but that there wants fomethmg befides Him, would be too grofs a B'afphemy againft God; for hence it would follow, that Chrift was but half a Saviour. Therefore we have jtift Caufe to fay with St. Paul, that we an jujlified only by Faith, or by Faith without Works. Yet, to lpeak more properly, we do not mean Faith to be that, by which we are juftified , for it is but an Inftrument, by which we embrace Chrift , our Righteousnefs. But Jefus Chrift imputing to us all his Merits, and fo many holy Works as he as done for us and in our Room is our Righteousnefs , and Faith is an Inftrument by which we are made Parta- kers of all his Bleffings ; which when they are become ours, are more than fufficicnt to ab- folve us from our Sins. XXIII. We believe that our Happinefs confifts in the Remiffion of our Sins, for Jefus Chrifts' Sake; and that our Righteousnefs before God is contained therein ; as David and Paul do teach us, declaring this to be the Happinefs of Man, that God imputes to him Righteous- nefs without Works; and the fame Apofile faith that we are jujlified freely , or through Grace , fry the Redemption which is in Chrift Jefus. And therefore we do always build upon this firm Foundation ; giving all Glory unto God , and humbly acknowledging ourfelves to be fuch, as really we are : without prefuming any thing of ourfelves , or upon our own Merits , but only relying on the Obedience of Chrift cruci. fied; and acquiefce therein, which Obedience is ours, if we believe in Him; this being fuf- ficient to cover all our Iniquities, to give us Boldnefs , and to free the Confidence from Terror , Aftonifhment and Fear in our Ap- proaches unto God; without doing like our firffc Father Adam , who trembling attempted to cover himfelf with Fig- Leaves. And truly if we were to appear before God, relying upon ourfelves, or any other Creature, though never fo little , alas ! we would be immediately devoured. And therefore every one ought to pray with David : Lord do not enter into Judgment with thy Servant ; for in tby Sight , no Flefl) living can be Jujlified. XXIV. We believe, that this true Faith being wrought in Man, by the Hearing of the Word of God, and the Operation of the Holy Ghoft , doth regenerate and change him into a new Man, by which he is quickened to live a new Life, and is made free from the Bondage of Sin. This juftifying Faith therefore is fo far from making Man grow floathful in an honeft and holy Life ; that on the contiary without it they will never do any thing out of Love unto God , but only out of Love unto them* felves , or from Fear of Condemnation. It is therefore impoffible that this holy Faith fhould be unfruitful in Man; for we do not fpeak of a vain Belief , but of fuch an one which in the Scriptures is called a Faith that worketb by Love, and ftirreth Man up to the excercife of thofe Works, which God hath commanded in his Word. Which Works, if they proceed from the good Root of Faith, are good and acceptable unto God , becaufe they are all fanftified by his Grace; in the mean while they are of no Account towards our J unification. For it is by Faith in Chrift that we are juftified, even before we do any good Works; otherwife they could not be good , no more than the Fruit of a Tree can be good, before the Tree itfelf is good. Thus we do good Works , but not that we may merit by them - , (for what can we merit?) Nay we are beholding unto Da God 23 Confeffion of Faitb. God for thofe good Works which wc do, and not He unto us ; (incc it is He tbat worketh in m both to "will and to do, according to bis own good Pleafure. Let us therefore take of this Saying which is left upon Record : When ye fiall have done all thefe Things , which are commanded you , fay , we are unprofitable Servants : we have done tbat which was our Duty to do. Yet we do not deny that God rewards good Works , but it is through his Grace, that He crowns his Gifts. Moreover though we do good Works , yet we do not build upon them as the Ground of our Salvation : for we can do Nothing which is not defiled by our Fcfh , and confequently ■worthy of Punifhmcnr; and though we could perform were it but one perfect Action, yet the Remembrance of one Sin is fufiicient, to make God reject it. And therefore we ihould always be doubtful and floating to and fro, without any Certainty, and onr poor Confiden- ces be vexed continually, if they did not rely on the Merits of the Sufferings and Death of our Saviour alone. XXV. We believe that the Ceremonies and Figures of the Law ceafed at the Coming of Guilt , and that all Shadows are finiihed : wherefore the Ufe and Practice of them ought to be abrogated among Chriftians : yet the Truth and Subftance of the fame remains with us in Qui ft Jefus, in whom they are fulfilled, in the mean while we (till make Ufe of the Teftimo* nies of the Law and the Prophett, to confirm us in the Gofpel , that we may order our Life and Converfation in all Honrfty , to the Glory of God, according to his Will. XXVI. We believe that we have no Accefs unto God, but by the only Mediator and Advocate Jefus Cbrijl the righteous : who for this Caufe is become Man, having united together the divine and human Natures , that fo we might hive accefs unto the divine Majcfty: for other- wife our Accefs was barred up. But this Me- diator , whom the Father hath appointed , between Him and us, ihould not deter us by his Majefty ; nor caufe us to feek for another according to our Fancy. For there is none in Heaven nnr in Earth among the Creatures , who lovcth us more entirely than Jefus Chrifi; who , tho He was in the Form of God, yet made Himfelf of no Reputation , and took upon Him the Form of a Man and a Servant , for our Sakes f and is made like unto his Brethren in all things. Now if we were to feek for another Mediator, that might be favourable unto us , pray , whom could we find that would love us more, than He who laid down his Life for us , even whiljl we were bis Enemies ? And if we took for one who excels in Power and Majcfty; who is more confpicuous in thefe than Hi wbi) fits at the. right Hand of lis Father, having all Power in Heaven and Earth ? And whom will God fooner hear than his own , only , and well beloved Son ? It was therefore only a Miftrufting of this which introduced the Piacticc of Diflionouringthe Saints inftoad of Honouring them, doing that which they never have done nor required, but confiancly and according to their Duty rejected , as appears from their Writings. And it ought not to' be object ;d here that we are not worthy; for it is not intcuded that we ihould offer up our Prayers on the Account of our Worthinefs, but only becaufe of the Excellency and Worthinefs of our Lord Jefus Chrift, whofe Righteoulhcfs is become ours by Faith. The Apoftle therefore, to take away from us this foolifli Fear , or rather Miftruft, tell us, that Jefus Chrifi is made like unto bis Bretberen in all things; tbat He might be a Merciful and faithful High Prieji, to mike Reconciliation for the Sins of the People Fo: in tbat He himfelf hath fuffered , being tempted , He is able to fuccour them that are tempted. And to give us more Encouragement to go to Him , he tells us. Seeing then that we have a great High Priefl that is paffed into toe Heavens, jfefus the Son vf God , let us bold fafl our fro- fefjion. For we have not an High Priefl , which cannot be touched with the Feeling of our Infir- mities : but was in all Points tempted like as we are , yet without Sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the Tbrone of Grace , that we may obtain Mercy , and find Grace to help in Time of Need. The fame Apoftle faith, that we have Liberty, to enter into the Holieft by the Blood of Jefus ; Let us draw near , faith he , in full yijfurance of Faith , &c. dlfo Chrifi hatb an unchangeable Prieji-hood: wherefore He is able to fave them to the Uttermoft , tbat come unto God by Confeffton of Faith, by Him; feeing He ever liveib to make Interces- fion for them. What more then do we wane , lince Chrift Himfeif fays, / am the Way, an.i the Truth, and the Life ; no Man cometb to the Father but by Me. Why thenfhould we, look- in- another Advocate , fince it hath pluafed God to give us his own Son for an Advocate. Let us not therefore leave Him to take another , or rasher to feek for another, whom we can find no where eife : for when God did give Him unto us, He knew very well that we were Sinners. Therefore according to Chnft's Com- mand , we call upon our heavenly Father through Jems Chrift our only Mediator, as we are Eaught in the Lord's Prayer; being firmly allured that whatever we pray for to die Father in his Name, it (hall be given us. XXVII. We believe and profefs one only Catholick or univc-rfal Church , which is a holy Congre- gation of true Chriftian Believers , who expect their Salvation altogether in Chrift Jafus and in him alone , being wafhed by his Blood , and fanclified and fealed by the Holy Ghoft. Now this Church. hath been from the Begin- ning of the W 7 orld , and will continue to the End of it: as doth appear by this , that' Chrift is an everlafting King, who cannot be without Subjects. And this holy Church is kept and prelerved by God agai'nft the Rage of the whole World : although fomtimes ihe may become very fmall , and appear to be almoft excinguifhed in the Eyes of Men : as when the Lord, during the dangerous Reign of Achab, bad kept feven tboufand Men, with great Weaknefs, but they fight againft it through the Spirit. all the Days of their Life, having continually recourfe to the Blood , Death , Sufferings and Obedience of our Lord Jefus Chrift, in whom they have RemiJJion of Sins, through Faith in Him. As for the falfe Church > flie afcribes unto herfclf and her Or- dinances more Power and Authority, than to the Word of God; and refufes to fubmit unto the Yoke of Chrift ; neither adminifters the Sacraments after fuch a Manner as Chrift hath inftituted in his Word ; but adds and takes away, according to her Pleafure: She relyeth more upon Men, than upon Chrift: and pcrfe- cutes thofe who live a holy Life, according to the Woid of God, and rebuke her Faults, Coveteousnefs and Idolatry. By thefe Marks then , it is eafy to know the true and the falfe Church, and to diftinguifh the one from the other. XXX. We believe that this true Church muft be governed according to the fpiritual Policy which our Lord hath taught us in his Word: viz. That there muft be Minifters or Paftors to preach the Word of God, and to adminifter the Sacraments; as alfo Elders and Deacons to make up together with the Paftors an eccle- fiaftical Counfel; that by this Means the true Religion , may be prefcrved , and the true Doctrine propagated every where ; likewife that the Transgreffors be punilhcd and rcftrai- ried by fpiritual Means ; that the Poor and D'ftreiTcd be alfo relieved and comforted, ac cording to what they ftand in need of. Through thefe Means all things will proceed well and orderly in the Church, when fuch Perfons are chofen who arc faithful , and according to the Rule which St. Paul prefcribes in his Epiftle to Timothy. XXXI. We believe that the Minifters of the Word of God, and the Elders and Deacons, ought to be chofen to their refpeftive Offices by a lawful Election of the Church , with Invoca- tion of the Name of the Lord , and in that Order , which the Word of God teacheth. Every one therefore muft take Care of Intru- ding himfelf by undecent Means ; but ought to ftay until he be called by God , that fo he may have a Teftimony of his Calling, and be certain and allured that it is of the Lord. And as for the Minifters of the Word , where ever they are, they have an equal Power and Authority, being all Minifters of Jefus Chrift, the one general Bifhop and only Head of the Church. Moreover, left this holy Ordinance of God be violated or difpifed, we fay, that every one ought to have a fpecial RcfpecTt unto the Minifters of the Word and the El- ders of the Church , for their Works fake, and to live in Peace with them, without Mur- muring , Strife, or Diflention , as much as poffibly can be. XXXII. In the mean while we believe , although it may be ferviccable and good, that thofe who govern the Church , do inftitute among them- felvcs certain Ordinances for the Maintenance and Supporting the Body of the Church, yet that they ought to take Heed of Departing from any thing which Chrift our only Mafter hath inftituted. And therefore we reject all human Inventions and Laws, which any might inrroduce in the Worfhip of God, thereby to bind and compel the Confcience in any Man- ner. Therefore we admit only of fuch Things as may ferve to the Nourifhing and Prefer va- tion of Concord and Unity, and to keep all in the Obedience of God, unto which Purpofe Excommunication is required , according to the Word of God , with the feveral Circum- ftances belonging to it. XXXIII. We believe that our gracious God, having Regard to our Dulnefs and Infirmity , hath inftituted the Sacraments, to be Seals of his Pro- ConfeJJlon of Faith. 3* Promifes , and Pledges of Kindnefs and Grace of God unto us ; and thereby alfo to nourifh and iuflain our Faith ; having joined them with the Word of the Gofpel , that lb He might more effectually propound to our out-. wardSenfes, boch that which He Signifies unto us by his. Word , and that which he Works inwardly in our Hearts, alluring us of the Sal- vation, which He doth impart unto us. For they are vifibie Signs and Seals of an inward and invisible thing , by which Means God wor- keth in us through the Power of the Holy Ghoft. Therefore the Signs are by no Means vain or empty, nor instituted with Defign to fruurate and deceive us ; for Chrift Jeius is the true Object reprefented by them , without whom they would Signify nothing at all. Mo- reover we are content with the Number of the Sacraments , which Chrift our Matter hath instituted, being but two, viz. the Sacrament of Bapiifm , and that of the Holy Supper of our Lord Jefus Chrift. XXXIV. We believe and confefs that Jefus Chrift, who is the End of the Law , hath made an End by the Shedding of his Blood, of all other Sheddings of Blood, that might be made for the Propitiation and Satisfaction of Sin ; and that having abrogated Circumcifion which was done with Blood, hath instituted inftead there- of the Sacrament of Baptifm, by which we are received into the Church of God , and are feparated from all other People and Strange Religions , that fo we may be wholly conle- crateJ to him , whofe Mark and Enfigns we bear. And it ferves us for a Testimony, that He will be our God, and a Gracious Father unto us for ever. Therefore He has given a Charge to Baptize all that are his in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghoft , only with pure Water, giving us thereby to undcrftand , that as the Warer cleanfes the Filth of the Body, when it is is poured upon us, wlvch may be feen upon the Body of him who receives Baptifm, being fprinkled there- bv ; fo the Blood of Chrift performed! the fame inwardly upon the Soul, by the Holy Ghoft , fp'inkling and cleaning them from their Sins, and regenerating us from Children of Wrath unto Children of God. However this is not done by the outward Water but by the Sprinkling of the precious Blood of the Son of God , who is our red Sea , through which we mud pafs, to efcape the Tyranny of Pharaoh, that is the Devil, and to enter in to the Spiritual Land of Canaan Likewife the Ministers give us on their Part the Sacra- ment, and that which is vifibie: but our Lord gives that which is Signified by the Sacrament, viz. the invisible Gifcs and Graces, Wafhing, Cleanfing, and Purifying our Souls from all Filthinefs and Iniquities , and Renewing our Hearts , and filling them with all Comfort, giving us a true Aflurance of his fatherly Kindnefs, Enduing us with the new Man, and putting away the old Man with all his Deeds. Therefore we believe , that whofoe- ver intends to enter into Life eternal, he muft be baptifed but once with the only Baptifm, without ever repeating the fame: for we can- woe be born twice. And this Baptifm is not only ufeful whilft the Water is poured upon us; and received by us but alio through all our Life Time; therefore we reject the Error of the Anabaptifts, who are not content whh the one only Baptifm , which they have received once, but condemn alfo the Baptifm of the Infants of believers; which we believe ought to be baptized and fealed wich this Sign of the Covenant, as the Infants in Ifrael were circumcifed upon the fame Promifes which are made to our Children. And indeed Chrift has Shed his Blood no lefs for the Waihing of the Children of the Faithful , than He hath done for adult Perfons And there- fore they ought to receive the >igu or Sa- crament of that which Chriit has done for them: as under the Law the Lord co nman- ded the Sacrament of. the Sufferings and Death of Chriil to be given to Infants . Shortly after their Bir.th , by Offering for them a La-^b , which was a Sacrament of Jefus Chrift. Be- sides, what Circumcifion did unto the Jews, the fame is done by Baptifm unto our Children; which is the Caufe.why St. Paul calls Baptifm the Circumcifion of Chrift. XXXV. We believe and confefs that our Saviour Jefus Chrift has instituted ad ordainei the Sacrament of the holy Supper, to nourifh and fuftajn 3* Confcljlon of Faitb. fuftain thofe whom He hath already regene- rated, and incorporated into his Family which is his Church; thofe now who arc regenera- te. I have a twofold Life in them, the one corporal and temporal, which hath accompa- nied them from their very Birth, and is com- mon to all Men; but the other is fpirituai and heavenly, which is given them in the fecond Birth proceeding from the Word of theGofpel , in the Fellowship of the Body of Chrift ; and this Life is not univerfal, but belongs only to the Elect of God. Thus God hath afforded us earthly and material Bread , proper for the Support of the corporal and earthly Life which is common to all, even as Life itfelf is. But for the Sustaining of the fpirituai and heavenly Life, which Believers now injoy, He hath fent that living Bread, which came down from Heaven, to wit, Chrift Jefus, who feeds and nourifh.es the fpirituai Lite of Believers , when He is eaten , that is , when He is applied by the Spirit and received by Faith. Aud that He might reprefent unto us this fpirituai and celeftial Btead, Chrift hath ordained an earthly and visible Bread , which is a Sacrament of his Body, and the Wine for a Sacrament of his Blood; that by thefe He might tcftify unto us, that as really as we receive and have in our Hands the Sacrament , and do eat and drink the fame with our Mouth , by which our Life is afterwards fuftained: fo cerrainly likewife by Faith (which is the Hand and Mouth of our Souls,) the true Body and true Blood of Chrift our only Saviour, is received in our Souls, for our fpirituai Life. And besi- des, it is certain and without all Doubt, that Jefus Chrift has not commanded us the life of his Sacraments in vain : Therefore He worket'n in us whatever He reprefents unto us by thefe holy Signs, although his Method furpaffeth our Underftanding , and is incom- prehensible to us, even as the Operations of the Holy Ghoft arc hidden and 'ir.coftfprchen- lible. In the mean while we Should not at all err if we fhould fay that that which we have eaten and drunk, is the proper and natural Body and true Blood of Chrift ; but that the Manner of our Partaking of the fame is not by the Mouth , but by the Spirit through Faith. Wherefore then Chrift Jefns fits always a't the right Hand of God hi? Father in the Heavens; yet notwithrtanding He com- municatcth Himfelf to us by Faith. This- Feaft is a fpirituai Table , ac which Chrift distributes Himfelf unto us, with all his Bene- fits , and caufes us to enjoy both Himfelf, and the Merits of his Sufferings and Death ; rjourifhing, Strengthening and comforting our poor diftreffed Souls by the Eating of his FleSh, and refreshing and cherishing thera by the Drinking of his Blood. Further tho the Sacraments are joined with the things Signified , yet both are not received by every one : for the Wicked receive the Sacrament to their Condemnation , but they do not receive tire Truth of the Sacrament; fo Judas and Simon the Sorcerer both did receive the Sacrament, but not Chrift, who was Signified by it; for only Believers are made Partakers of Him. LaStly, we receive this holy Sacrament in the Congregation of the People of God with Humility and Reverence, celebrating the holy Remembrance of the Death of Chrift our Saviour, with Thanksgiving, making there ConfelTion of our Faith and the Christian Re- ligion. None therefore ought to approach unto this Table without a previous due Exa- mination of himfelf, Icaft eating of this Bread and drinking of this Cup, they'fhould eat and drink Judgment to themfelvcs. Lpon the whole we are jointly admonifhed in the USe of this holy Sacrament to a fervent Love to God and our Neighbour. Therefore we reject all Mixtures and damnable Inventions which Men have mixed with , and added unto the Sacraments , accounting them but Profanations of the fame: afirming , that we ought to be content with this Ordinance as it is delivered unto us by Chrijl and his Apofiles ; and that we ought to fpeak in the fame Terms as thev did. XXXVI. We believe that our gracious God, becaufe of the Corruption of Mankind , hath ordained Kings, Princes , and Magistrates , intending that the World lhould be covcrned by Laws and Policy, that fo the difiblutc Manners of Mankind might be restrained , and all things proceed orderly among Men. For that Pur- pofe He hath given the Magistrates the Sword, in their Hands , for the Punifhment of the Wicked , and the Protection of the Godly ; And their Office is, not only , to take Heed unto Confusion of faith. 3.1 onto, and to watch over politick Affairs; but alfo to maintain the holy ecclefiaftical Service; to hinder and extirpate all Idolatry and falfe Worfhip ; to throw down the Kingdom of Antichrift, and to exalt the Kingdom of Jefus Chrift ; and to take Care that the Gofpel be preached every where, that fo God may be honoured and ferved by every one, as He has commanded in his Word. Moreover every one , of whatfoever Quality , Condition or State he may be, is bound to fubmit Himfelf to the Magiftrates ; to pay Taxes , to give them all Honour , and due Refpecl , and to obey them in all things, which are not con- trary to the Word of God; praying for them in their Prayers , that the Lord may guide them in all their Ways, and that we may live quietly and peaceably in all Godlinefs, and Ho- nejly. And therefore we deteft the Errors of the Anabaptifts and other ieditious People, and in general the Errors of all thofe who do rejeCt Magiftrates, and the higher Powers; who would fubvert Juftice , introducing a Communion of Goods , and confounding chat Decency which God hath eftabbfhed among Men. XXXVII. Laftly, we believe according to the Word of God, that when the Time ordained of the Lord (tho unknown to all Creatures) (hall be accomplifhed, and the Number of the Elect compleated, our Lord Jefus Chrifl will come down from Heaven corporally and vifibly, as He afcended , with great Glory and Maje- fty, to declare Himfelf Judge both of the Li- ving and the Dead ; appointing this old World to be burnt with Fire and Flames, for irs Purification: and then fhall all Men perfo- rally appear before this great Judge , both Men, Women, and Children, that ever ha- ve been from the Beginning of the World un- to the End of it, being fummoned for this ve- ry Purpcfe by the Voice of the Archangel , and the Sound of the divine Trumpet. For all the Dead fhall be raifed out of their Gra- ves and their Souls fhall be joined and united with their own Bodies, in which they former- ly lived. And as for thofe who fhall then be alive, they fhall not die, as the others, but f.iall be changed in the Twinkling of an Eye, and from corruptible become incorruptible. Then tbe Books (that is of every ones Confclcncc) will be opened, and the Dead fhall be judged according to their Deeds done in this World , whether they be Good or Evil; Nay Men floall give an account of every idle Word which they bavefpoken, which hath been accounted by the World but Spore and Paftime: And then every hidden Thing and all the Hyprocrify of Men wil be made manifeft and laid open before the World. And therefore the very Remembrance of this Judg- ment is juftly terrible and dreadful to evil Doers and the Wicked; but moft highly defi- rablc and full of immenfe Confolation to the Godly and Elect; fince then, their full Deli- verance (hall be accomplifhed, an they fhall there receive the Fruits of their Labours and Troubles, which they have undergone: their Innocency whill then be openly acknowledged by all, and they fhall fee the terrible Venge- ance , which God will execute again ft the Wicked who have moll cruelly perfecutcd , opprefled and tormented them in this World. They will be convicted even by the Teftimo- ny of their own Confciences, and fhall be im- morcal; but for this Purpofe , that they may be tormented in that everlafting Fire , which is prepared for the Devil and his Angels. But on the contrary the Faithful and Elect fhall be crowned with Glory and Hononr. And the Son of God will confefs their Names before God his Father and the elect Angels. All Tears fhall be wiped away from their Eyes. And their Caufe which now is condemned by many Judges and Magistrates, as heretical and impious, will then be known to be the Caufe of the Son of God. And for a gracious Reward, the Lord will eftablifh them in the Pofleflion of fo great a Glory as none of the Sons of Men have ever been able to conceive. Therefore we expect that great Day with a moft ardent Defire, that fo we may fully en- joy the Promifes of God in Chrift Jefus our Lord. Amen. Revel. 22.20. Even fo come Lord Jefus. E FORM 34 0/ Baptifm, FORM For the Adminiftration of the holy Sacramenc of Baptifm to Infants of Believers. THE Do&rine of Baptifm , confifteth of thefe tree Points : Firjl , That we, with our Children, are conceived and born in Sin, and are therefore Children of Wrath , infomuch that we cannot enter into the Kingdom of Heaven , except we be born again. This is fignified unto us by Dipping or Sprinkling the Child with Wa- ter; whereby the Uncleannefs of our Souls is ffet forth unto us; and we are admonhhed to loath ourfelves, and to be humbled befo- re God, and to feek our Cleanfing and Sal- vation out of ourfelves. Secondly, Baptifm doth fignifie and feal un- to us the Wafhing away of our Sins through Jefus Chrifl ; therefore are we baptized in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Cbojl. For when we are beptized in the Na me of the Father, God the Father doth wit- nefs and feal unto us, that He hath entred in to an everlaftiug Covenant of Grace with us, that He h;ith adopted us to be his Children and Heirs, and will provide for us all Manner of Good, and remove from us all Evil, or turn k to our Good. When we are baptized in the Name of the Son, the Lord Jefus Chrift doth feal unto us , that He wafheth us in his Blood from all our Sins , Incorporating us into the Fel- Jnwfhip of his Death and Refurreclion , fo that we arc freed from all our Sins, and ac- counted jufl before God. In like Manner, when we are baptized in the Name of the Holy Ghojl; the holy Spirit of God doth affure us by this Sncrament , that He will dwell with us, and fanctifie us to be Members of Chrift, applying unto us what we have in Chrift, namely , the Wafhing away of our Sins, the daily Renewing of our Souls, till we be prefenccd at laft among the reft of the Eleft, without Spot to partake of everlafting Life. Thirdly , Whereas in alle Covenants there are contained two Parts; therefore are we by God through Baptifm admonifhed of ,andobli- ged unto new Obedience , namely, that we cleave to this One God , Father , Son , and Holy Ghojl, that we truft in Him , and love Him with all our Heart, with all our Souls, with all our Mind and with all our Strength; that we forfake the World, crucify our old Nature, and walk in a new and holy Lite. And if through Weakenefs fomtimes we fall into Sin, we muft not defpair of God's Mercy, nor continue in Sin, confidering that Baptilm is a Sign and Seal of our everlafting Covenant wich God. And although our Children underftand not thcie things, yet may they not therefore be excluded from Baptifm; for as they are with- out their Knowledge Partakers of the Con- demnation through Adam, fo are they again received to Mercy in Chrifl ; as God fpeaKS to Abraham, the Father of all the Fa.thfui, and confcquently to us, and our Children, Genef. 17. 7. faying : I will ejiablifb my Covenant he- tween me and t;..ee. and toy^Seed after thee in their Generations , for an everlafling Covenant to be a God unto thee , and tby Seed aiter thee. This alfo the Apoftle Peter teftifieth Aft. 2. 39. in thefe Words, For t.e Promife belongs to you and to your Children, and to as many as are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God (bail call. Hci.ce it u , 'hat God hath of old commanded that Infants fhould be cir- cumcifed, which Circumcifion was a Seal of this Covenant , and the Highreoufnefs of Faith ; and therefore alfo C;.rifl received the little Children, laid lis Hands upon tbem, and bleffed them. Marc. 10. 16. Since then Bap- tifm is put in the Place of Circumcifion, therefore Infants are to be Bap ized as Heirs of the Kingdom of God , and of the Cove- nant; And Parents are admondhed to inftrudl their Children in thefe things , wheu they are come to Years of Difcretion. That therefore tnis holy Ordinance of God may at this Time be adminiftred to the Glo- ry of God , to our Comfort , and the EJifi- eation of his Church, lex us call upon the Name of our God. O Of Baptifm. 35 O Almighty and Eternal God, (who, accor- ding to tby fevere Judgment , duljl punish with the Flood the impenitent and unbelieving World, and according to thine infinite Mercy didjl fave Noah with his Family ; who didjl drown bard hearted Pharaoh with all his Peo- ple in the red Sea, and didjl fafely lead thy People Ifrael through the fame, by which Bap- tifm was fignified unto us , ) we befeech Thee , that Thou wilt be pleafed out of thine infinite Mercy , gracioujly to look upon thefe Infants [this Infant} and incorporate them [it} by thy boly Spirit into thy Son Jefus Chrifi , that fo they [it] may be buryed with Him into his Death', and alfo rife with him to Newnefs of Life, that tbey [it] may take upon tbem [it] daily [Ms] Crojs , follow Him , and cleave unto Him with a true Faith , firm Hope , and fervent Love , and willingly leave this Life (which is nothing elfe but a continual Death) and at the lafi Day may appear without fear before the Tribunal - Seat of Chrifi thy Son , through Jefus Chrifi our Lord , who , with Thee , and the Holy Gbojl, one God, lives and reigns for ever. An Exhortation to the Parents, and tbofe that come with tbem tn Baptifm. Beloved in the Lord, ye have heard that Captifm is an Ordinance of God to feal unto our Seed his Covenant, therefore we mud ufe the fame to this End , and not of Cuftom or Superftition. That it may then be manifefl that ye are thus minded, you are to anfwer fincerely upon thefe Queftions. Fir (I | Whether you do not acknowledge that however our Children are conceived and born in Sin , and therefore are fubject to a'l Manner of Mifenes, yea to Condemnation it- felf , yet that they are fanftifled in Chrift, and therefore as Members of his Church ought to be baptized ? Secondly, Whether you do not acknowledge the Doctrine contained in the Old and New Teftament, and in the Articles of the chriftian Faith ; (which is alfo taught in thefe chriftian Churches here) to be the true and perfect Doc- trine of Salvation?

HOwever Children of chriftian Parents fal- tho they underftand not this Myftery) muft be baptized by Vcrtuc of the Covenant; yet it is not lawful to baptize chofe who are E 2 co- 3<5 Of Baptifm. come to Years of Difcretion , except they firil be fenfible of their Sins, and make Con- feflion both of their Repentance and Faith in Chrift. For, for this Caufe hath not only John the Baptift preached (according to the CommandAf God ,) the Baptifm of Repen- tance, and baptized, for the Remiffion of Sins thofe who confefled their Sins, Marc. i. & Luk. 3. But our Lord Jefus Chrift hath alfo commanded his Difciples to teach all Nations, and then to baptize them in the Name of the Father, Son-, and Holy Ghoft, Math. 28. Marc. 16. adding this Promife: He that bclievetb, and is baptized, floall be faved. According to which Rule, the Apoftles, as appcareth out of Aft,. 2. 10. 6? 16. have baptized none who were of Years of Difcretion , but fuch who made ConftfTiou of their Faith and Repentance ; therefore is it not lawful now a- Days to bap- tize thofe of Years, except they have been taught the Myftenes of holy Baptifm by the Preaching of the Gofpel, and are able to give an Account of their Faith by aConfefiion of the Mouth. Since therefore you are alfo defirous of holy Baptifm, to the End it may be to you a Sea! of your Ingrafting into the Church of God, that it may appear that you do not only receive the chriftian Religion , in which you have been privately inftructed by us, and of which alfo you have made Confeffion before i:s. But that you f through .the Grace of God) intend and purpofe to lead a Life according to the fame, you are (incerely to give Anfwer be- fo're God and his Church: Firfl , Whether you believe in the only true God diftinct in three Perfons, Father, Son, and Holy Gbojl : Who out of Nothing hath made Heaven and Earth, and all that is there- in; and that He fuftaineth and governeth the fame , in fo much that Nothing can come to pafs in Heaven or in Earth , without fcis Will? Anfwer. Yes. Secondly , Whether you believe that you are conceived and born in Sin, confequently that, yon are a Child of Wrath by Nature, altogether unfit for any thing that is Good, and prone to all Evil, and that you, in Thoughts, Words and Deeds, have many Times trans- ^relTed the Commandments of God , and whether you be heartily forty for thefe your Sins? Anfwer. Yes. Thirdly, Whether you believe, that Chrift, who is true and Eternal God and a true Man , and hath taken his human Nature out of ths Flelh and Blood of the Virgin Mary , be alfo given of God to you as your Saviour : And that you do receive by Faith in his Blood Forgive- nefs of Sin. And that you are Members (a Mem- bcr) of Chrift and his Church , through the Pow- er of the Holy Ghoft ? Anfwer. Yes. Fourthly , Whether you aflent to all the Arti- cles of the chriftian Religion , as they are taught in thefe Churches out of the Word of God , and do purpofe contftantly to perfiffc in the fame Doctrine to the End of your Life; and alfo reject all Herefies and Errors, which are repugnant to this Doctrine, and promife to perfevere in the Fellowfhip and Commu- nion of this Church , not only in the Hear- ing of the Word, but Lfirjg of the Supper of the Lord? Anfwer. Yes. Fifthly , Whether you have purpofed from your Heart to lead always a Chriftian Life, to forfake the World and all the evil Lufts thereof (according as it becometh Members [a Member] of Chrift and his Church) and fubmit yourfelves to all Chris- tian Admonition ?

FORM Of the Lord's Supper. 37 FORM For the Adminiftration of the Supper of the Lord BEloved in the Lord Jefus Chrift : hearken to the Words of the Id# > tution of the ho- ly Supper of our Lord Jefus Cbrift , as they are delivered by the Apo/tle Paul, i Cor. n, verf. 23« — 30. For I received of the Lord that 'which alfo I delivered unto you , that the Lord Jefus the fame Night, in which He was betrayed, took Bread, and when He had given Thanks, He brake it, and faid: Take, eat, this is my Body which is broken for you; this do in Remembrance of Me: after the fame Manner alfo He took the Cup, when He bad fupped , faying , This Cup is the New Teflament in my Blood, this do ye, as often as ye drink it in Remembrance of Me : For as of- ten as ye eat this Bread, and drink this Cup, ye do flew the Lord's Death till He come: where fore whofoever fliall eat this Bread , and drink this Cup of the Lord unworthily , floall be guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord. But let a Man examine himfelf, and fo let him eat of that Bread, and drink of that Cup, for he that lateth and drinkefh unworthily , eatetb and drin. ketb Damnation to himfelf , not difcerning the Lord's Body. That we may now to our Comfort celebrate the Supper of the Lord, it is above all things neceffary, that we firft try ourfelves aright: And fecondly, that we direct it tho that End for which Chrift hath inflitured and ordained the fame , namely , to the Remembrance of Him. The true Examination of ourfelves confifts of thefe three Parts, Firfl, That Every or.e conGder by Himfelf his Sins, and the 'Curfes of God due unto him for the fame, to the End that he may abhor and humble himfelf before God; confi dering that the Wrath of God ngainft Sin is fo great, that rather than it fhould go unpu- nilhcdj He hath punifhed the fame in his belo- ved Son Jefus Chrifr. with the fhameful and bit- ter Death of the Crofs. Secondly , That everyone try his own Heart, whether he doth believe this faithful Pro- mife of God, that all his Sins are forgiven him only for the Paflion and Death of Chiift, and that the perfect Righteoufncfs of Chritt is im- puted, and freely given to him as his own , yea fo perfectly as if he himfelf in his own Perform had fatisfied for all his Sins, and fulfilled all Rightcoufnefs. Thirdly, That every one examine his own Confcience, wether he purpofeth with himfelf to lhew true Thankfulnefs to God here after in his whole Life, and to walk uprighly before the Face of God: As alio, whether he hath laid afide unfeignedly all Enmity , Hatred , and Envy, and doth firmly refolve to walk in true Love and Peace with his Neighbour. All thofe that are thus minded , God will certainly receive to Mercy, and account them worthy Communicauts at the Table of his Son Jefus Chrift : On the contrary thofe who have not this Witnefs in their Hears , they eat and drink to themfelvcs Judgment. Wherefore we according to the Command of Chrift and the Apoftle Paul, admonifh all thofe , who are defiled with thefe following Crimes, to keep themfelvcs from the Table of the Lord , and do declare unto them thac they have no Part in the Kingdom of Chrift : 10 wit, All Idolaters; AH who invocate Saints decea- fed , and Angels, and other Creatures ; All who worfhip Images; All Enchanters, Divi- ners, Charmers, and thofe who give credit to fuch Enchantments: AH Defpifrrs of God and his Word, and his holy Sacraments: All Blafphemers: All thofe who are given to make Strife , Sedition and Mutiny in Church and State : All perjured Perfons : All difobedient to Parents or Magistrates; All Murderers, con- tentious Perfons, who live in Hatred and En- vy agakft their Neighbour; All Adulterers , Whon mongers , Drunkards, Thieves, Ufu- rers , Robbers , Gamefters , Covetous , and all who live a fcandelous Life. All thefe, fo long as they continue in fuch Sins, are tc abftain from this Meat (which Chrift hatt. ordained only for the Faithful) left their Jud- gement and Condemnation be made the hea- vier and encreafed. E 3 But Of the Lord's Supper. f But Beloved in the Lord, this is not to cafl down or to dejeft the contrite Hearts of the Faithful, as if none might come to the Ta- ble of the Lord but fuch as are free from all Sin. For we come not to this Supper to tes- tify that we in ourfelves are perfect and juft , but on the contrary coDfidering that we muft feek our Life out of ourfelves in Chrifl, we acknowledge here-with that we lie in Death. Therefore notwithftanding we feel many In- firmities and WeaknefTes in us, namely; that we have noc fuch a perfect Faith, that we do not give ourfelves to ferve God with that Zeal as we arc bound; but muft fight daily againft the Weaknefs of our Faith and the Lufts of our Fie Hi; yet fioce by the Grace of God we are forry for thefe Weakreffes, and earneftly defire to fight againft our Un- belief, and to walk in all the Commands of God ; Therefore we reft allured , that no Sin or Infirmity, which (againft our WiU) yet re- maineth in us, can hinder us from being re ceivcd of God in Mercy, or from being Parta- kers of this heavenly Meat and Drink. Let us now alfo conflder to what End Chrift hath inftituted his Supper ; namely , that we do it in Remembrance of Him. Now after this Manner are we to remember Him by it. Firft, That we are confidently perfuaded in our Hearts , that our Lord Jefus Chrift , according to the Promife made to our Fore- Fathers in the Old Teftament, was fent of the Father into the World ; And hath taken upon Him our FleiTi and Blood , and born for us the Wrath of God (under which we fhould have perifhed cveriaftingly) from the Beginning of his Incarnation to the End of his Life upon Earth; And hath fulfilled for us all Obedience to the Law of God, and all Righteoufncfs; chiefly when the Burden of our Sins . and the Wrath of God preft out of Him that bloody Sweat in the Garden , where He was bound that we might be freed from our Sins : And afterwards fuftained innumerable Injuries that we might never be confounded: Was innocently condemned to Death, that we mi.'h; he abfolvcd before the Judgment Seat of God; yea, fuffered his bleflcl Body to be nailed to the Crois, that He might fallen upon it the Hand -Writing^f our Sins; And hath alfo taken upon Himfclf the Cnrfe (}uc to us, that He might fill us with his Blefltog: And hath humbled Himfelf into the deepeft Reproach and Pangs of Hell in Soul and Body on the Tree of the Crois, where He cryed one with a loud Voice, My God, my God, Why haft tbou forfaken Me? that we might be re- ceived of God and never forfaken of Him. And finally, confirmed with his Death and Bloodihed the new and everlafting Covenant of Grace and Reconciliation, when He faid, It is finished. And that we might firmly believe thet we belong to this Covenant of Grace, the Lord Jefus the fame Night in which He was betrayed took Bread, and when He bad given Thanks, He brake it, fcf gave it to his Difciples and faid, Take , eat , this is my Body which is broken for you ; do ibis in Rtmembrance of Me. In like Man' ner alfo after Supper, He took the Cup, gave Thanks, and faid Drink ye all of it: This Cup is the new Teftament in my Blood , which is ftoei for you and for many , for the Remiffton of Sins : This do ye , as oft as ye drink it in Remembrance of Me. That is, as often as ye eat of this Bread, and drink of this Cup, ye (hall there- by, as by a certain Pledge and Remembrance, be admonifhed and allured of this my hearty Love and Faithfulnefs towards you. That whereas you fhould have fuffered eter- nal Death, I have given my Body unto the Death of the Crofs, and lTied my Blood for you; and as certainly as you fee this Bread bro- ken before your Eyes, and this Cup given to you, and you with your Mouth do eat and drink the fame in Remembrance of Me, fo do I feed and refrefh your hungry and thirfty Souls with my Body and Blood to everlafting Life. From this Inflitution of the holy Supper of the Lord Jefus Chrift, we, fee that He directs our Faith and Confidence to his perfect Sacrifice (which was once offered on the Crofs) as to the only Ground and Caufe of our Salvation, that He is become to our hungry and thir- fty Souls the true Food to eternal Life. For by his Death He hath taken away the Caufe of our everlafting Death and Mifery, namely Sin ; and hath merited for us the quickening Spirit, that we by the fame (which dwelleth in Chrift as the Head, and in us as his Mem- bers) might have true Communion and Fel- lowfhip with Him, and be made Partakers of all his Bleffings to everlafting Life and Glo- ry Of tbe Lord's Supper. 39 ry. Befides, that, we by the fame Spirit may alfo he united together into brotherly Love, as Members of the fame myftical Body; For- as the Scripture faith, we being maDy are one Bread and one Body , for we are all Partakers of t. at one Bread; F<>r as out of many Grains being grinded, one Bread is made; and out of mauy Berries, being prefl; together, one Drink floweth , fo (hill we all (who by a true Faith are ingrafted into Chrift,) be one Body , through brotherly Love for Chrift his Sake, who hath fo exceedingly loved us ; manifefting the fame brotherly Love one towards another, not only in Words, but alfo in Works and Deeds. Hereto afiift us the Almighty Father of our Lord Jefus Chrift, through his Holy Spirit. Amen. And that we may obtain this, let us humble our- felves before God , and in trqe Faith call upon Him lor his Crace. OMoJl merciful God and Father, we lefeecb Thee, that in this Ordinance in which we celebrate the bleffed Memory of the mojl bitter Death and Pajfion of thy Son Jefus Cbrifl; thou wilt be pleajed to work in our Hearts through the Holy Gboft , that we may give ourfelves more and more with true Confidence to thy Son Jefus Chrifi; that fo our broken and burdened Hearts may be fed and comforted through the Po- wer of the Holy Spirit with bis true Body and Blood; yea with Him true God and Man, the only Bread of Heaven; And ibat heme forth we may m% live any longer in our Sins , but He in us , and we in Him : And be alfo really Par- takers of that new and everlafiing Covenant of Grace; no ways doubting but that Thou wilt for ever be our Gracious God, not imputing our Sim unto us, and that thou wilt provide us with all Good Tilings jor Body and Soul, as iby beloved Children and Heirs. Gram alfo un to us thy Grace, that we may take upon us our Crofs cbear fully, deny ourfelvcs, conjefs our Sa- viour , and in all our Tribulations with uplift ed Heads expeft our Lord Jefus Cbrifl out of Heaven when He will make our mortal Bodies conformable to bis mofl glorius Boody , and take us to Himfelf to be with Him to all Eternity.

In Breaking and Diftributing of the Bread, the Miniltcr fhall fay: The Bread which we break , is the Commu- nion of the Body of Cbrijt. [And when he giveth the Cup:] The Cup of BleJJing, wherewith we blefs y is the Communion of the Blood of Chrift. During the Communion, there fhall either \be fung fome Pfalm, or fome Chapter read,/ BEloved Brethren: It is known to you, how that we, three feveral Times have publickly propounded unto you the Name of our fellow- Brother N. here preient; to un- derftand if there was any Body who had any Thing againft him either in Doftrine or Life, whereby he might be hindied from beiog con- firmed in the Miniftry of the Word : beeing now that no Body hath (hewed any lawful Exception aginft his Perfon, therefore are we now, in the Name of the Lord, to proceed to his Confirmation. For which Caufe you N. and all ye who are prcfent, are to hear- ken to a Short Declaration from the Word of God touching the Inftitution and Work of the Pallor, or Minifter of the Word. Where, in the fir ft Place you are to obfer- ve:That God our Heavenly Father having pur- pofed to call and afTemble from amongft finful Mankind, a Church to everlafting Life; ufedi hereunto out of his fingular Grace, the Mi- niftry of Men; therefore faith Paul: That Cbrijl bath given fame to be Apojlles , fome to he Prophets , fome Evangelijls , fome Paflors and Doctors for the Perfecting of the Saints , for the Work of the Minijlry; namely , the Edification of the Body of Cbrifl. Out of which we fee that the Apoftle faith, that among others, the Pallor's Office is an Inftitution of Chrift. Now, what belongs to his holy Office, we can cafily fee out of the very Name given unto it : For as the Charge of a common Shepherd is to feed the Flock committed unto his Charge, to lead, rule, and protcft the Same; So is it with the fpiritual Pallors, who tre fet over the Church which God calls unto Salvation and efteems as the Sheep of his Failure. The Paftures wherewith thefe Sheep are to be fed, are Nothing elfebut the Preach- ing of the Word of God, with the Service of Prayer, and Adminiftration of the holy Sacraments: The fame Word of God is alfo the Staff wherewith the Flock is led and ru- led; confequently the Office of the Paflors and Miniflers of the Word of God confifts herein : Firfl; That they faithfully propound the Word of God containec in the Writings of the Prophets and Apoftles, and apply the fame both in general and particular to the Edification of the Hearers: Inftrucling, Ad- monifhiug. Comforting and Reproving, ac- cording to every ones Ncceffity: Preaching Converfion to God, and Reconciliation with Him through Faith in Chrift; as alio refuting with tl e Word of God all Errors and Here- fies which are repugnant to found Dottrine. All this is plainly difcovered unto us in holy Scripture; For the Apoftle Paul faith, that tbefe labour in the Word; and elfewhere he faith, that this ought to be done according t'o the rule of Faith, that a Paflor mtfl-bold'~fafi that faithjul mid fine ere Word which is accord- ing to Dottrine , and divide it aright: AHo, be that propbefyetb (that is , who teacheth God's Word; muft fpeak to Edificition, Admonition and Comfort. In another Place, he doth fet Himfelf as a Pattern to Paflors, declaring that he openly and in Houfes hath taught, and teftifkd the Converfion to God and Faith in Jefus Chrift. But we read in an cfpecial Manner a true Defcription of the Office and Miniftry of the Gofpcl, 2. Cor. V. iS 19. wherein the Apoflle fpcals after this Manner: All Things are of God, who bath reconciled us to Himfelf through Je- fus Cbrijl, and bath given to us (namely to the Apojlles and Paflors - ) the Minijlry of Re. conciliation , to wit: That God was in Cbrijl, Reconciling the World unto Himfelf, not impu- ting their Trefpajjes unto them, and hath com- mitted to us the Word Reconcilation. Now then , we are Ambaffadors for Cbrijl , as though God did befeech yon by us, we pray you in CbrilVs Siead to be reconciled to God.

For what the Apoftles fay , We will give our/elves to Prayer , and the Minijlry of the Word; the fame is common to thefe Paftors with the Apoftles: To which End the Apoftle Paul thus exhorteth Timothy. Wherefore I exhort , that firfl of all Supplications , Prayers , Inter cejfions , and giving of Thanks be made for all Men; for Kings , and for all in Authority. Thirdly , Their Order is to adminifter the ho- ]y Sacraments which rhe Lord hath ordained and inftituted as a Seal of his Grace; as appea- red! out of the Command which Chrift hath given to his Apoft'es, and in them to all Pas- tors: Baptize tbem in the Name of the Father, and oj the Sow and of the Holy Ghojt. In like Manner; / received of the Lord that which I alfo delivered unto you. That The Lord Jefus the Night, &c. Fourthly, The Office of the Minifler of the Word , is to keep the Church in good Difcipline , and to rule them after that Manner which the Lord hath ordained. For Chrift having fpo- ken of Reproof, faith thus to his Apoftles, What you (Imll bind on Earth , Jhall be bound in Heaven: And Paul will haveMinifters to be able to govern their own Houfes well, becaufe otherwife they fhould not be able to govern well the Church of God For this Caufe alfo the Pallors are called Houfholdcrs of God, and Bifhops, tfat is, Overfeers and Watchmen; for they have the Inlpection of the Houfe of God, wherein they convcrfe, to the End that all things may be done decently and in Order, and that they open and fhut with the Keys com. milted unto them the Kingdom of Heaven, ac- cording to the Charge given unto them of God. Out of thefe Things it doth appear, what an honorable Work the paftoral Office is , fince that fuch . great Things are done by the Same; yea, how neceffary it is ro Men for the Salvation of their Souls: Which is the Reafon a'fo, why God would have this Office always to remain. For thus fpeaks Chrift to his Apoftles, when He fends them abroad to cxercife this holy Fnnction :Lo, 1 am with you always , even to the End of the World. Where we fee, that his Will and Pleafure is, that this holy Office (hould be kept and 45. maintained always upon Earth, unto the End of the World: For, thofe Perfons to whom Ho ipake, can not live to the End of the World, and therefore Paul eshorteth Timothy, that/.e would commit that which he heard of him to faith' ful Men, who are able to teach Others alfo. And to this End alfo he ordained Titus to be a P^ftor, and commanded him that he fhould or- dain Bifljops and Elders in every Place. For as much therefore, as we, for the Maintaining of this Office in the Church of God, are now to ordain a new Minifter of the Word ; and having fufficiently fpoken of the Charge thereof: Therefore you N. are to an- iwer to that which (hall be propounded unto you, that fo it may appear to every one that you are minded thus to receive this Charge. Firfl , I ask you , whether you feel in your Heart that you are lawfully called of the Church, and confequently of God Himfelf , to this holy Office V Secondly , Whether you hold the Scriptures of the Old and New Teftament to be the only Word of God, and perfect Doctrine to Salvation: And whether you reject all Opi- nions which are repugnant to the Same? Thirdly , Whether you promife to difcharge your Office faithfully according to the fame Doctrine with a godly Life; fubmitting yourfelf to the Admonition of the Church, (if you Ihould come to mifcarry either in Doc- trine or Life, according to the received Order of the Churches?
