An exposition on the church-catechism, or, The practice of divine love composed for the Diocese of Bath & Wells.

* 1.1Q. How many Sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church?

* 1.2A. Two only, as generally necessa∣ry to Salvation, that is to say, Ba∣ptism and the Supper of the Lord.

* 1.3Glory be to thee, O Crucified Love, out of thy Wounded Side flowed Water and Blood, n 1.4 the two Sacraments which thou hast Or∣dained in thy Church, Baptism, and the Supper of the Lord, the one to initiate, the other to confirm us, in our Christianity.

Glory be to thee, O Lord, who having Or∣dained two Sacraments only, and made them Generally necessary to Salvation, o 1.5 art yet pleased to have Mercy rather than Sacrifice, in cases where they cannot be had, and where a surprise of Death may prevent their Administrati∣on, thou dost supply the want of them by thy merciful acceptation of those persons, who ear∣nestly desire, and who are disposed to receive them.

O blessed Jesu, the greater thy Compassion is to those sincere persons who want thy Sacra∣ments, by reason of their infelicity, not their choice, the greater will be thy indignation against those who wilfully neglect, or contemn p 1.6 what thy Adorable Love has ordained to be through∣out thy whole Church used and revered, from which neglect and contempt of thy Love, good Lord deliver me.

* 1.7Q. What meanest thou by this word Sacrament?

A. I mean an outward and vi∣sible sign of an inward and spi∣ritual grace, given unto us, or∣dained by Christ himself, as a means whereby we receive the same, and a pledge to assure us thereof.

Q. How many parts are there in a Sacrament?

A. Two: the outward visible sign, and the inward spiritual grace.

Glory be to thee, O tenderest Love, who to stoop to our weak and gross apprehension, hast in the two Sacraments made an Outward and visible, and familiar thing, to be the sign, and memorial, and representation, of an Inward and invisible Mysterious and Spiritual Grace.

Glory be to thee, O bountiful Love, for Or∣daining and Giving us the Holy Sacraments, q 1.8 thou thy self only art the Author, and Foun∣tain of Grace, and thou only hast the right of instituting the conveyances of thy own Grace: all Love, all Glory, be to thee.

Glory be to thee, O mighty Love, who hast elevated these obvious and outward signs, to an efficacy far above their Natures, not only to sig∣nifie, but to be happy Means, and instruments, to convey thy Grace to us, to be Seals, and Pled••es, to confirm and 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to us the Com∣munications of thy Love, that our sight may assist our Faith, that if with due preparation, we receive them, both parts of the Sacrament will go together, as certainly as we receive the Out∣ward and Visible sign, so certainly shall we re∣ceive the Inward and invisible Grace, for which all Love, all Glory, be to thee.

* 1.9Q. What is the outward visible sign, or form in Baptism?

A. Water: wherein the person is baptized, In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Ghost.

Q. What is the inward and spi∣ritual grace?

A. A death unto sin, and a new birth unto righteousness: for being by nature born in sin, and the

children of wrath, we are hereby made the children of grace.

Q. What is required of persons to be baptized?

A. Repentance, whereby they for∣sake sin; and faith, whereby they stedfastly believe the promises of God, made to them in that Sacra∣ment.

Q. Why then are infants ba∣ptized, when by reason of their tender age, they cannot perform them?

A. Because they promise them both by their sureties: which pro∣mise, when they come to age, themselves are bound to perform.

* 1.10Glory be to thee, O Lover of Souls; it was by thy preventing Love, that I was Baptized with the outward sign, Water, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost r 1.11. That I should believe in the most Holy Trinity; that I should depend on the gracious as∣sistances, and live wholly devoted to the three most adorable Persons, that it should be my chief care to Love and Glorifie that tri-une Love, the Author of my Salvation.

* 1.12Glory be to thee O Jesu, who by Water, that washes away the filth of the Body, dost re∣present to my Faith thy invisible Grace in Ba∣ptism s 1.13, which spiritually washes and cleanses the Soul.

Glory be to thee, O blessed Lord, who in Ba∣ptism savest us, not by the outward washing, but by the inward purifying Grace accompanied with a sincere Vow, and ••••••pulation of a good Consci∣ence towards God t 1.14; by which thy propitious Love brought me into thy Church, the spiritual Ark, to save me from perishing in the Deluge of Sin, which overwhelms the generality of the World; and therefore all Love, all Glory be to thee.

Glory be to thee, O all-powerful Love, by whose invi••••ble Grace, we in Baptism die to sin u 1.15 to all carnal Affections, renouncing and detesting them all, and resolving to take no more pleasure in them than dead persons do in the comforts of life. O may I ever thus die to Sin.

Glory be to thee, O Jesu, who from our death to Sin in our Baptism, dost raise us to a new Life, and dost breath into us the breath of Love; 'Tis in this Laver of regeneration x 1.16, we are born again by Water y 1.17, and the Spirit, by a new Birth unto righ••eo••••ness: that as the natural Birth propagated sin, our spiritual Birth should propagate Grace, for which all Love, all Glory be to thee.

Glory be to thee, O most indulgent Love, who in our Baptism dost give us the holy spirit of Love, to be the principle of new Life, and of Love in us, to infuse into our Souls a supernatural, ha∣bitual Grace, and ability to obey and love thee, for which all Love, all Glory be to thee.

Glory be to thee, O compassionate Love, who when we were conceived and Born in Sin z 1.18, of sinful Parents, when we sprang from a root wholly corrupt, and were all Children of Wrath a 1.19, hast in our Baptism made us Children of thy own Heavenly Father by Adoption and Grace b 1.20: When we were Heirs of Hell, hast made us Heirs of Heaven, even joynt Heirs with thy one self, of thy own Glory; for which with all the powers of my Soul, I adore and love thee.

* 1.21I know, O dearest Lord, that I am thine no longer than I Love thee; I can no longer feel the saving efficacy of my Baptism, than I am faithful to my Vow I there made; no longer than I am a Penitent, no longer am I Christian; if I name the name of Christ, I am to depart from Iniquity c 1.22. O do thou give me the Grace of True Repen∣tance for all my Sin, for my original Impu∣rity, and for all my actual Transgressions, that I may abhor and ••••rsake them all, wound my Soul with a most affectionate sorrow, for all the In∣juries, and Affronts, and dishonours I have offer∣ed to infinite Love.

* 1.23Glory be to thee, O most liberal Jesu, for all those exceeding great and pretious Promises d 1.24 of Pardon, and Grace, and Glory which thou hast made to us Christians in the Sacrament of Ba∣ptism: O may I ever stedfastly believe, O may I ever passionately Love, may I ever firmly rely on thy superabundant Love in all these Promises, for which I will ever adore and love thee.

Glory be to thee, O sweetest Love, who in my infancy didst admit me to holy Baptism, who by thy preventing Grace when I was a little Child, didst receive me into the evangelical Covenant, didst take me up into the arms of thy Mercy, and bless me e 1.25. Glory be to thee, who didst early dedicate me to thy self, to prepossess me by thy Love, before the World should seize and defise me.

Ah Gratious Lord, how long, how often have I polluted my self by my Sins? But I repent, and deplore all those Pollutions, and I consecrate my self to thee again••t▪: O thou most reconcileable Love, pardon and accept me, and restore me to thy Love: O let the intenseness of my future Love, not only Love▪ for the time to come, but retrieve all the Love I have lost.

* 1.26Glory be to thee, O tenderest Jesu, who when by reason of my Infancy I could not promise to repent and believe for my self, didst mercifully accept of the promise of my Sureties, who promis•••• both for me, as thou didst accept for good to the Paralytick f 1.27; the charitable intenti∣ons of those that brought him to thee, and of the Faith of the▪ Woman of Canaan g 1.28; for the Cure of her Daughter: for which merciful acceptance, all Love, all Glory be to thee.

O my God, my Lord, the promise which was made by my Sureties for me, I acknowledg that as soon as I came to a competent Age, I was b••••••d my self to perform, and I own and renew my Obligation: I promise, O my Lord, with all the force of my Soul to Love thee, O do thou ever keep me true to my own promise▪ ••••ce thou art ever ••••alterably true to thine, for which I will ever adore and love thee.

* 1.29Q. Why was the Sacrament of the Lords Supper ordained?

A. For the continual remembrance of the Sacrifice of the death of Christ, and of the benefits which we receive thereby.

Q. What is the outward part or sign of the Lords Supper?

A. Bread and Wine, which the Lord hath commanded to be received.

Q. What is the inward part, or thing signified?

A. The body and blood of Christ, which are verily and indeed taken, and received by the faithful in the Lords Supper.

Q. What are the benefits where∣we are partakers thereby?

A. The strengthening and refresh∣ing of our souls by the body and bloud of Christ, as our bodies are by the bread and wine.

Q. What is required of them who come to the Lords Supper?

A. To examin themselves whe∣ther they repent them truly of their former sins, stedfastly purposing to lead a new life; have a lively faith in Gods mercy through Christ, with a thankful remembrance of his death; and be in charity with all men.

* 1.30Glory be to thee, O crucified Love, who at thy last Supper didst ordain the Holy Eucharist, the Sacrament and Feast of Love.

It was for the continual remembrance of the Sacrifice of thy death, O blessed Jesu, and of the Benefits we receive thereby, that thou wast pleased to ordain this sacred and awful Rite; all Love, all Glory be to thee.

Ah dearest Lord, how little sensible is he of thy Love in dying for us, who can ever forget thee?

Ah wo is me, that ever a Sinner should forget his Saviour, and yet alas how prone are we to do it.

Glory be to thee, O Gracious Jesu, who to help our memories, and to impress thy Love deep on our Souls, hast instituted the blessed Sacrament▪ and commanded us, Do this in remembrance of me.

O Jesu, let the Propitiatory Sacrifice of thy Death which thou didst offer upon the Cross for the Sins of the whole World, and particularly for my Sins, be ever fresh in my remembrance.

O blessed Saviour, let that mighty Salvation thy Love has wrought for us never slip out of my mind, but especially let my remmbrance of thee in the Holy Sacrament be always most lively and affecting.

O Jesu, if I love thee truly, I shall be sure to fre∣quent thy Altar, that I may often remember all the wonderful Loves of my Crucified Redeemer.

I know, O my Lord and my God, that a bare remembrance of thee is not enough; O do thou therefore fix in me such a remembran••e of thee, as is suitable to the infinite Love I am to remem∣ber: Work in me all the holy and heavenly affe∣ctions, as become the remembrance of a Crucified Saviour.

Glory be to thee, O adorable Jesus, who un∣der the outward and visible part,* 1.31 the Bre••d and Wine, things obvious and easily prepared, both which thou hast commanded to be received, dost communicate to our Souls, the Mystery of divine Love, the inward and invisible Grace, thy own most blessed Body and Blood which are verily and indeed taken and received by the faithful in thy Sup••e••, for which all Love, all Glory be to thee.

* 1.32O God incarnate, how thou canst give us thy Flesh to eat, and thy Blood to drink; How thy Flesh is Meat indeed, and thy Blood is Drink in∣deed; How he that eateth thy Flesh and drink∣eth thy Blood, dwelleth in thee, and thou in him; How he shall live by thee, and shall be raised up by thee to Life Eternal m 1.33; How thou who art in Heaven, art present on the Altar, I can by no means explain, but I firmly believe it all, because thou hast said it, and I firmly rely on thy Love, and on thy Omnipotence to make good thy Word, though the manner of doing it I cannot compre∣hend.

* 1.34I believe, O Crucified Lord, that the Bread which we break in the Celebration of the Holy Mysteries, is the Communication of thy Body n 1.35, and the Cup of Blessing which we bless, is the Com∣munication of thy Blood, and that thou dost as effectually and really conveigh thy Body and Blood to our Souls, by the Bread and Wine, as thou didst thy holy Spirit o 1.36, by thy Breath to thy Disciples; for which all Love, all Glory be to thee.

Lord, what need I labour in vain, to search out the manner of thy mysterious presence in the Sa∣crament, when my Love assures me thou art there? All the faithful who approach thee with prepared hearts, they well know thou art there, they feel the Vertue of Divine Love going out of thee, to heal their infirmities, and to enflame their affecti∣ons, for which all Love, all Glory be to thee.

O Holy Jesu, when at thy Altar I see the Bread broken, and the Wine poured out, O Teach me to discern thy Body there p 1.37, O let those Sacred and Significant actions, create in me a most lively Remembrance of thy Sufferings, how thy most blessed Body was scourged, and wounded, and bruised, and tormented; how thy most pre∣tious Blood was shed, for my sins, and set all my powers on work to Love thee, and to celebrate thy Love in thus dying for me.

* 1.38Glory be to thee, O Jesu, who didst institute the Holy Eucharist in both Kinds, and hast Com∣manded both to be received q 1.39, both the Bread and the Wine, both thy Body broken, and thy Blood shed: thy Love, O Lord, has given me both, and both are equally Significative and Pro∣ductive

of thy Love: I do as much Thirst after the one, as I Hunger after the other, I equally want both, and it would be grievous to my Love to be deprived of either.

Ah Lord, who is there that truely Loves thee, when thou givest him two distinct Pledges of thy Love, can be content with one only, what Lover can endure to have one half of thy Love with∣held from him? And therefore all Love, all Glory be to thee for giving both.

* 1.40O my Lord, and my God, do thou so dispose my heart, to be thy Guest at thy Holy Table, that I may feel all the sweet influences of Love Crucified, the Strengthning and Refreshing of my soul▪ as our Bodies are by the Bread and Wine, for which I will ever Adore and Love thee.

O merciful Jesu, let that immortal food, which in the Holy Eucharist thou vouchsa••est me, instil into my weak and languishing soul, new supplies of Grace, new Life, new Love, new Vigour, and new Resolution, that I may never more faint, or droop or tire in my duty.

O Crucified Love, raise in me fresh ardours of Love and Consolation, that it may be henceforth the greatest torment I can endure, ever to offend thee, that it may be my greatest delight to please thee.

O amiable Jesu, when I devoutly receive the outward Elements, as sure as I receive them, I re∣ceive thee, I receive the Pledges of thy Love, to quicken mine; O Indulge me, though but for a moment, one Beatisick foretast of the delicious∣ness of thy Love, that in the strength of that de∣liciousness I may perseveringly love thee.

* 1.41Glory be to thee, my Lord and my God, who hast now given me an invitation to thy Heavenly Feast. r 1.42 All Love, all Glory, be to thee.

Lord, give me Grace, that I may approach thy awful Mystery, with Penitential preparati∣on, and with a heart sully disposed to love thee.

* 1.43O my God, my Judge, give me Grace I most humbly beseech thee to E••amine s 1.44 my whole life past, by the Rule of thy Commandments, before I presume to Eat of that Bread, and Drink

of that Cup, give me Grace sadly to reflect on, and deplore all my provocations, lest coming to the Holy Eucharist impenitent, and unprepared, I receive Vnworthily, and Eat and drink my own damnation.

O thou Great Searcher of Hearts, thou know∣est all the Load of Impiety and Guilt under which I lie, O Help me so Impartially to Judge, and Condemn my self, so humbly to Repent, and beg Pardon, that I may not be Condemned at thy Tribunal, when I shall appear there at the last day, that I may be set at thy Right Hand, amongst thy Lovers.

Lord, give me Grace to search every secret of my Heart, to leave no sin, if possible, unrepented of; ••ill my Eyes full of Tears of Love, that with those Tears I may lament, all the Indignities I have offered thy Love.

But alas alas, after the most strict examinatinon we can make, who can number his impieties, who can tell how oft he offendeth, g 1.45 Lord therefore cleanse me from my secret faults, which in general I renounce and bewail.

* 1.46O my God, thou who alone changest the Heart, O be thou pleased to change 〈◊〉〈◊〉 change my aversion to thee, into an intire L••ve of thee. O give me a filial Repentance, that with a Broken and Contrite Heart I may Grieve, and Mourn, and Repent for all my ••orm••r sins, and may for ever forsake them, and return to my Obe∣dience.

* 1.47Let thy Love, O my God, so perfectly ex∣haust my soul, that I may for the future, stedfastly ••urpose to le••d a new life, that I may renew my Baptismal Vow, that I may hereafter live, as a sworn Votary to thy Love.

* 1.48O Heavenly Father, settle in my soul, a Live∣l•• Faith in thy Mercy through Christ, a steddy belief of all thy Love to sinners, and an affectio∣nate Reliance on the Merits and Mediation of thy Crucified Son,h 1.49 of my being Accepted in the Be∣loved, for whom I will ever Adore and Love thee.

* 1.50O my Crucified God▪ thou Soveraign Inflam∣mative of Love, let the Remembrance of thy Death, set all the powers of my Soul on work,

that I may desire, and pant after thee, x 1.51 that I may Admire, and Adore thee, that I may take Heavenly delight in thy Gracious Presence, that with Praise and Thansgiving, with Jubilation and Triumph I may receive thee into my Heart, there I will have Love, only Love, always Love, to en∣tertain thee.

* 1.52Lord, when I present my self, and my Love, as all the Gift I have to offer at thy Altar, next to my Love to thee, and for the sake of thy in∣finite Love to me which I there remember, give me Grace to love my Neighbour, and to be in Charity wi••h all men, and to walk in Love, y 1.53 as thou hast loved us, and hast given thy self for us, an Offering, and a Sacrifice to God, for a sweet smelling savour, for which all Love, all Glory be to thee.

* 1.54O most Reconcileable Jesu, in this Memorial of thy Sufferings, I see how thou didst forgive me, and didst love me when I was thy Enemy, O for thy dearest Love to me, give me Love to forgive all my Enemies, z 1.55 and to be at peace with the world, as I desire to be Loved and Forgiven, and to be at peace with thee.

All that have any way injured me, O my God, I freely forgive, for thy sake, O do thou also for∣give them: incline them to Brotherly Charity, and let them at last feel the comfort of that Re∣conciliation thou didst make upon the Cross, for which I will ever Adore and Love thee.

* 1.56O my God, if I have wronged, or injured my Neigbour, O give me Grace to beg his pardon, and as I have opportunity, to make him satisfacti∣on, and restitution according to my power.

* 1.57O crucified Love, whenever I see thee in any of thy poor Members, Hungry, or Naked, or in Distress, a 1.58 O let the Remembrance of thy Love, in Dying for me, engage me to contribute all I can to thy relief, O may I ever be liberal in my Alms to thee, who wert so liberal of thy inesti∣mable Blood for me.

It is very adviseable, that persons before they Communicate, should read over the whole Com∣munion-Office, or at least, the exhortations there, which they will find to contain very proper, and plain, and excellent Instructions.

It were much to be wish'd, that people would make more use of their Common Prayer Books than they do, and apply the Prayers they meet with there to their own particular conditions, for the Book is always at hand, and the Prayers are most safe and familiar, and devout, and the more they affect us in our Closet, the more they will affect us in the Congregation, and well meaning souls will reap great spiritual ad∣vantage from this practice.

* 1.59For example, an humble poor Christian, who it may be has no other Book but his Common Prayer Book, and who intends to come to the Holy Communion, may learn to turn the Com∣munion-Office to his own private use, after this manner.

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts be open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid, cleanse the thoughts of my heart by the in∣spiration of thy Holy Spirit, that I may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnifie thy Holy Name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

* 1.60I give most humble and hearty thanks to thee, O God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, for the Redemption of the World by the Death and Passion of our Saviour Christ, both God and man, who did humble himself even to the death upon the Cross for us miserable sinners, who lay in darkness and the shadow of death, that he might make us the Children of God, and exalt us to everlasting Life.

Glory be to thee O Jesus, our master and only Saviour, who to the end that we should always remember thy exceeding great Love in thus dy∣ing for us, and the innumerable benefits which by thy precious Blood-sheding thou hast obtained to us; hast Instituted and Ordained Holy Myste∣ries as Pledges of thy Love, and for a continual remembrance of thy Death, to our great endless Comfort.

To thee therefore, O blessed Saviour, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, I will give (as I am most bounden) continual thanks, I submit my self wholly to thy Holy Will and Pleasure, and will study to serve thee in true Holiness, and Righteousness, all the days of my Life.

* 1.61Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judg of all men, I acknow∣ledg and bewail my manifold sins, &c.

* 1.62I lift up my heart unto thee, O Lord, I give thanks unto thee, O Lord our God, it is meet and right so to do: it is very meet, right, and my bounden duty, that I should at all times, and in all places give thanks unto thee O Lord, Holy Father Almighty, everlasting God.

But chiefly am I bound to praise thee for giving thy only Son Jesus to dye for my Sins, and to rise a∣again for my Justification.

Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the Company of Heaven I laud and magnifie, &c.

* 1.63I do not presume to come to thy Table, O mer∣ciful Lord, trusting in my own righteousness, &c.

Glory be to God on high, and on earth Peace, good will towards men: I praise thee, &c.

* 1.64To these, as you see occasion, you may add ma∣ny very good Prayers, short and plain, and perti∣nent to your purpose, which you may collect out of the Common Prayer, and which will much further your Devotion; such as these.

* 1.65O Lord, who never ••ailest to help and govern them whom thou doest bring up in thy stedfast Fear and Love; keep me I beseech thee, under the protection of thy good Providence, and make me to have a perpetual Fear and Love of thy Holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

* 1.66O God, who hast prepared for them that love thee, such good things as pass Mans understanding; pour into my heart such Love toward thee, that I loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that I can desire, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Lord of all power and mig••t, who art the Au∣thor and Giver of all goo•• things, graft in my Heart the Love of thy Name, encrease in me true Religion, nourish me with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep me in the same, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

* 1.67O Lord, who hast taught me that all my doings without Charity are nothing worth, send thy Ho∣ly Ghost, and pour into my Heart that most ex∣cellent gift of Charity, the very bond of Peace and of all Vertues, without which whosoever liveth

is counted dead before thee. Grant this for thy on∣ly Son Jesus Christs sake, Amen.

* 1.68Almighty God, who hast given thy only Son to be unto us both a Sacrifice for Sin, and also an example of Godly life▪ give me grace that I may always most thankfully receive that his inestima∣ble Benefit, and also daily endeavour my self to follow the blessed steps of his most holy Life, through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

They that are ignorant, or that cannot read should go to their Parish Priest, or to some other discreet and learned Minister of Gods Word, and desire him to teach them their Duty in private, and they that thus sincerely seek the Law at the Priests mouth, shall find that the Priests Lips do preserve Knowledge, and shall not go away without a Blessing.

To God the Father who first loved us, and made us accepted in the Beloved, to God the Son who loved us and wash'd us from our Sins in his own Blood: To God the Holy Ghost, who sheds the Love of God abroad in our Hearts, be all Love and all Glory, for time, and for eternity. Amen.
