at_o any_o time_n forget_v we_o this_o shall_v and_o must_v persuade_v we_o to_o make_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n our_o continual_a remembrance_n reason_n 2_o second_o god_n always_o

it_o be_v true_a indeed_o when_o christ_n offer_v himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n that_o then_o his_o blood_n be_v actual_o shed_v and_o never_o else_o yet_o it_o be_v as_o true_a that_o the_o blood_n

than_o christ_n jesus_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n because_o he_o make_v it_o ordain_v it_o and_o institute_v it_o reas_n 2_o as_o our_o saviour_n be_v the_o institutor_n of_o it_o so_o he_o be_v

agree_v upon_o it_o but_o he_o receive_v it_o not_o indeed_o and_o in_o truth_n the_o main_a end_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v the_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v needless_a that_o christ_n shall_v receive_v it_o now_o this_o must_v not_o be_v think_v to_o be_v any_o disparagement_n either_o to_o the_o one_o sacrament_n or_o to_o the_o other_o to_o the_o one_o

to_o my_o heart_n to_o walk_v with_o christ_n because_o he_o be_v one_o with_o i_o and_o i_o one_o with_o he_o another_o point_n of_o instruction_n teach_v we_o that_o christ_n be_v real_o deliver_v

howsoever_o the_o word_n communion_n may_v be_v indifferent_o understand_v of_o each_o as_o well_o the_o communion_n which_o the_o faithful_a have_v among_o themselves_o as_o of_o that_o which_o they_o have_v with_o christ_n yet_o if_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o here_o so_o intend_v it_o wharsoever_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o it_o though_o happy_o true_a and_o fit_a for_o the_o argument_n

apostle_n reach_v to_o show_v that_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o communion_n of_o the_o faithful_a among_o themselves_o we_o shall_v much_o better_a relish_n and_o digest_v those_o doctrine_n which_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o it_o now_o that_o such_o be_v the_o entendment_n of_o the_o apostle_n it_o appear_v thus_o he_o say_v in_o verse_n 16._o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v

be_v partaker_n of_o one_o bread_n where_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o next_o to_o the_o former_a by_o way_n of_o reason_n now_o you_o know_v that_o the_o reason_n must_v be_v answerable_a in_o sense_n to_o the_o proposition_n that_o be_v thereby_o confirm_v therefore_o except_o we_o will_v make_v the_o apostle_n to_o speak_v absurd_o and_o without_o sense_n to_o set_v down_o the_o proposition_n of_o one_o thing_n and_o to_o render_v the_o reason_n of_o a_o other_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o look_v what_o communion_n he_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o reason_n verse_n 17._o the_o

because_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o one_o bread_n show_v not_o only_a that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o communion_n among_o themselves_o in_o and_o by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o

israel_n which_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o they_o which_o eat_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n partaker_n of_o the_o altar_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v so_o with_o those_o israelite_n

thou_o must_v die_v in_o thy_o sin_n the_o point_n be_v this_o we_o must_v pull_v down_o our_o proud_a heart_n and_o cast_v out_o this_o leaven_n of_o maliciousness_n which_o make_v we_o unfit_a to_o

in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o pascall_n lamb_n must_v be_v slay_v and_o kill_v and_o so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n christ_n must_v be_v kill_v and_o slay_v likewise_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o

be_v draw_v from_o the_o rigour_n of_o the_o law_n which_o do_v necessary_o require_v it_o and_o can_v not_o be_v dispense_v withal_o but_o whosoever_o sin_n must_v die_v the_o death_n and_o

our_o own_o food_n but_o the_o lord_n food_n it_o be_v not_o our_o own_o supper_n but_o the_o lord_n supper_n when_o we_o come_v to_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n and_o to_o drink_v of_o this_o cup_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n supper_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v look_v how_o much_o difference_n there_o be_v between_o that_o which_o be_v your_o own_o and_o that_o which_o be_v the_o lord_n

at_o our_o own_o table_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reach_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o these_o two_o verse_n there_o be_v the_o first_o difference_n this_o be_v the_o lord_n and_o the_o other_o be_v our_o

the_o second_o difference_n which_o the_o apostle_n point_v at_o be_v this_o in_o the_o 22._o verse_n have_v you_o not_o house_n to_o eat_v and_o to_o drink_v in_o despise_v you_o the_o church_n of_o

have_v it_o in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n your_o bread_n and_o your_o wine_n be_v home-food_n but_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n be_v church-food_n your_o bread_n and_o your_o wine_n be_v for_o your_o child_n servant_n and_o family_n but_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n be_v for_o god_n child_n for_o his_o house_n and_o family_n i_o hope_v there_o be_v none_o of_o you_o but_o do_v esteem_v more_o high_o of_o the_o house_n of_o god_n than_o you_o do_v of_o your_o own_o house_n and_o therefore_o by_o that_o learn_v to_o esteem_v of_o these_o mystery_n the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n above_o that_o which_o you_o receive_v at_o your_o own_o house_n the_o three_o and_o the_o last_o difference_n be_v that_o which_o be_v in_o this_o 26.27_o and_o 28._o verse_n where_o the_o apostle_n call_v it_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o cup_n the_o cup_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o carry_v a_o implication_n i_o say_v that_o there_o be_v great_a difference_n between_o this_o bread_n and_o other_o bread_n between_o this_o wine_n and_o other_o wine_n other_o bread_n and_o wine_n they_o be_v but_o natural_a or_o artificial_a thing_n serve_v only_o for_o the_o work_n of_o nature_n but_o this_o bread_n and_o this_o wine_n that_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n over_z and_o beside_o that_o natural_a and_o artificial_a face_n that_o be_v set_v upon_o they_o over_z and_o beside_o that_o which_o they_o have_v in_o nature_n these_o have_v a_o supernatural_a condition_n impose_v upon_o they_o from_o above_o whereby_o they_o be_v advance_v above_o any_o other_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o make_v serviceable_a for_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n so_o than_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n have_v point_v out_o these_o three_o difference_n it_o make_v the_o doctrine_n very_o clear_a that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v far_o more_o excellent_a than_o any_o other_o bread_n and_o wine_n whatsoever_o to_o confirm_v this_o let_v we_o add_v to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scholar_n the_o word_n of_o the_o master_n luke_n 22.19_o 20._o it_o be_v

the_o lord_n supper_n say_v this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v in_o use_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n they_o be_v far_o better_o and_o of_o far_o great_a use_n and_o excellency_n than_o any_o of_o our_o ordinary_a food_n yea_o better_o than_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o at_o our_o own_o feast_n but_o even_o at_o any_o other_o feast_n of_o the_o lord_n therefore_o well_o may_v the_o apostle_n say_v this_o bread_n and_o this_o cup_n

the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n it_o do_v belong_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v his_o bread_n and_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o the_o apostle_n note_v in_o the_o 27._o verse_n whosoever_o eat_v this_o

than_o any_o other_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o owner_n of_o they_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o christ_n be_v the_o owner_n of_o all_o the_o creature_n they_o be_v his_o because_o he_o make_v they_o it_o be_v very_o true_a yea_o but_o yet_o we_o must_v take_v notice_n here_o of_o a_o further_o &_o a_o special_a owe_v of_o these_o creature_n whereby_o they_o belong_v to_o christ_n jesus_n and_o that_o in_o many_o respect_n first_o beside_o that_o they_o be_v his_o creature_n as_o other_o thing_n be_v these_o be_v christ_n his_o own_o by_o institution_n because_o christ_n have_v

whole_a work_n of_o our_o redemption_n three_o they_o be_v his_o own_o by_o communion_n because_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o

the_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o count_v it_o a_o unholy_a thing_n and_o fall_v away_o from_o god_n and_o that_o holy_a profession_n that_o they_o take_v upon_o they_o alas_o what_o
