the fountain of unity, ib.; given not
only to the learned, but to the sim-
ple and unlearned, 398; was before
in the godly, but more fully given
after the ascension of Christ, 399;
sending of, proof of our Saviour's
ascension, 407; granted to prayer,
420;
the author of obedience, 493.
Spiritual things, represented by out-
ward and visible tokens, 390; the
gifts of the Spirit thus signified, ib.
390; also by outward tokens in the
supper are represented the body and
blood of Christ, ib.
Supper of the Lord, institution of, 79;
qualifications for approaching, 202
-6; the faithful receiveth in his
soul through faith the body and
blood of Christ, 207; Christians
strengthened by it to eternal life, 211;
meaning and importance of the out-
ward signs, 330, 1, 340; when we
eat Christ's flesh and drink his blood,
212, 331; the faithful Christian must
lift up his soul from the outward
elements to Christ, who feedeth the
soul to eternal life, 351; grace worked
in the hearts of the true believers,
which in faith at the supper receive
the true body and blood of the Lord,
352; breaking of bread in the sup-
per, the token of the new covenant
confirmed by Christ on the cross,
418; instituted by Christ, that by
outward signs he might make his
church mindful of his death, ib.; to
gather together and unite the church
into one communion and fellowship
in Christ, ib.; bread and wine are
signs, not bare signs, but seals of his
covenant, to declare that all blood
for sin is only in Jesus Christ, 419;
abused by the Papists in offering it
up as a sacrifice for the redemption
of the souls of the church, 426, 451;
explanation of our Saviour's words
in the institution of, 429-31; un-
worthiness in receiving, explained,
432; in what sense persons said to
receive to their own damnation, ib.;
those who privately receive the sacra-
ment to merit themselves or other; who
make it a sacrifice for the redemption
of sin, ib.; who are they that receive it
worthily, viz. those who receive it as a
most worthy sacrament or sign repre-
senting all that Christ did or pur-
chased for us by his death, 433; they
offend which honour the bread with
divine honour, spoiling Christ of the
victory achieved by the once offering
of himself for all, ib.; Christ did
not eat up all himself, but they re-
quire us to believe, that the priest re-
ceives it for us, and in our names, ib. ;
worthy receiving explained, ib. ;
for
what cause and to what end Christ
instituted this sacrament, 436; the
fruit which the supper of the Lord
bringeth to us, 437-9; in what
sense the body and blood of Christ
are given to us in the Lord's sup-
per, 440; the sacrament of the Lord
ought not to be separated from his
substance and verity, 439, 440; we
are stirred up by it to consider the
benefits we receive of our Lord Jesus
Christ, 442; we are more vehemently
stirred up to holiness of life, ib.; the
right use thereof, 443; how we ought
to approach the Lord's table, 446,
7; plea of unworthiness considered,
448, 9; in what sense the fathers
spoke of the Lord's supper as a sa-
crifice, 451; Romish opinion of the
Lord's supper as an actual sacrifice
for sin opposed to the sufficiency of
the sacrifice of Christ, 453; refusal
of the cup in the Lord's supper by
the Romanists opposed to the insti-
tution of Christ, 459, 60; the fruit
of Christ's death communicated to us
in the Lord's supper, not on account
of the merit of the work, but for the
promises that are made to us therein,
461; substance of our belief, that
when we do, according to the institu-
tion of the Lord, receive the sacrament
with faith, we are undoubtedly made
partakers of the substance of the body
and blood of Christ, after a spiritual |
manner, 465, 6; in the mass, we are
required to believe that the priests'
receiving of the bread and wine is the
application of Christ's merits to us,
530; that they can relieve souls in
purgatory, ib.; that being present at
this their sacrifice, as they call it, will
give us speed in all our affairs, ib.; that
their masses purchase the assistance
and favour of God, ib.; these asser-
tions cannot stand with the com-
munion of Christ's body and blood,
ib.; the private receiving of the bread
and wine can by no means stand with
the institution of Christ, 531; the
mass is so far from the institution of
Christ, that it seemeth not to be any
part of the commemoration of Christ's
passion, but a mere invention of
man, ib.; this sacrament so neces-
sary a food to the soul, that without
it no Christian can tarry in Christ,
or have Christ tarrying in him, ib.;
belief and trust in Christ confirmed
by the use of these visible signs,
532; Christ gave them to help our
weakness, 532.
