A treatise concerning the Lords Supper

Quest. 4. Do I believe on Jesus Christ, or do I not? Have I the Faith of Gods Elect? or have I not? If I should not eat in Faith, and drink in Faith, I should not receive aright; but if I do believe, though my Faith be weak, I have a right to him, and to his privileges which he hath purchased by his death, and will seal unto me in the Sacrament. Then turn thy Speech to God, and say, Lord, If I do prize ⟨image ?⟩thy Son above all things in the World, may I then conclude I do believe? God tells thee that thou mayest, 1 Pet. 2.7. Unto you therefore that believe, he is precious. If I make it my business to purify my heart, do I then believe? God tells thee that thou dost, Act• 15.9. Purifying their hearts by Faith. If I take thy Son for my Lord and Saviour, and receive him upon Gospel-terms into my heart, might I then conclude that I have Faith? God tells thee that thou mayest, John 1.12. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the Sons of God, even to them that believe on his Name. If so, then Lord, I will in obedience to thy command, do this in remembrance of thee.
