A treatise concerning the Lords Supper

Q•••t 4. Is not this to disesteem a firm Conveyance and Assurance of all the Gospel Blessings and benefits purchased by the Death of Christ? Is not this Ordinance Gods bread Seal, to confirm unto your Soul the great and everlasting Blessings of the Covenant of Grace? Would you be contented with the Writings for your Lands and Houses, without a Seal? or wou•d you not desire a Sealing day, and be glad when it comes, that you may be the surer, and your Title made more clear? And are not the pardon of your sins, and your Title to the Kingdom of God greater things? And the assurance of these more, infinitely more desirable? Or do you doubt you have them not, & yet will not come to have your Evidences to be cleared? This Sacrament it is Signum rememorativum, to bring to your remembrance the Passion of your Lord, where he would testify to your Conscience, and assure you that he died for you: It is Signum demonstrativum, a Demonstration •f his Love, where he would assure you that he loves you: It is Signum prognosticum, or prenuntiativum, a Prognostic of your future and eternal Happiness, where he would assure you that you shall undoubtedly be Partaker of it, and w•ll you yet neglect it?
