But in the presence of the pastor we should
confess those sins alone of which we have knowledge, and which we feel
in our hearts.
_Which are these?_
_Ans._ Here reflect on your condition, according to the Ten
Commandments, namely: Whether you are a father or mother, a son or
daughter, a master or mistress, a manservant or maidservant--whether you
have been disobedient, unfaithful, slothful--whether you have injured
any one by words or actions-whether you have stolen, neglected, or
wasted aught, or done other evil.
PART V.
THE SACRAMENT OF THE ALTAR,
OR, THE LORD'S SUPPER.
_In the plain form in which it is to be taught by the head of a family._
_What is the Sacrament of the Altar?_
_Ans._ It is the true Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, under the
bread and wine, given unto us Christians to eat and to drink, as it was
instituted by Christ Himself.
_Where is it so written?_
_Ans._ The Holy Evangelists, Matthew, Mark, and Luke, together with St.
Paul, write thus:
"Our Lord Jesus Christ, the same night in which He was betrayed, took
bread: and when He had given thanks, He brake it, and gave it to His
disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my Body, which is given for you:
this do, in remembrance of Me.
