Cases considered and resolved. Wherein all the tender godly conscientious ministers in England (whether for a Congregational, or a Presbyterial way) are concerned. Or pills to purge malignants. And all profane, ignorant, and scandalous persons. (But more particularly calculated for the meridian of Margarets Fishstreet-hill) from those gross conceits that they have of their children's right to baptism; and of their own right to the Supper of the Lord, &c. Also good counsel to bad men. Or friendly advise (in several particulars) to unfriendly neighbours.

2. Those to whom Christ gave the Sacrament, he saith without exception, This is my body which is given for you; this is the cup of the new Testament, in my blood, which is shed for you; and I will not drink henceforth of the fruit of the Vine, until that day I drink it new with you in my Fathers Kingdom. ⟨p. 17⟩Now I would willingly know, 1how this can in the least measure stand with the wisdom, holiness, justice, righteousness, innocency, and integrity of Christ, to say this, and promise this to Judas, whom he knew to be an hypocrite, reprobate, a devil, as himself calls him? Joh. 6.70, 71. chap. 13.10, 11. If this be not to make Christ a false witness, a liar, a deceiver, &c. I know not any thing.
