6. ARTICLE.
The Lords Supper.
These only are admitted to the Lords Supper, who in the judgement of charity have tried and examined themselves 1 Cor. 11. 28. The profane and scandalous are debarred from this Table, as Mat. 7 6. Psal. 50. v. 16, 17. This Sacrament requiring a self-examination going before, 1 Cor. 11. 28. Therefore a Sermon of preparation is preached the day before, even as Christ prepared and dieted his guests with heavenly Sermons preceding the action, as is clear, Luke 22. 14, 15. Mark 14. 18, 19, 20. Mat. 26. 21, 22, 23. John 13. v. 13, 14, 15, 16. A Table is covered, not an Altar erected, as is Luke 22. 21.
