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

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

that_o be_v clear_a math._n 3.16_o jesus_n be_v baptize_v but_o he_o never_o administer_v it_o john_n 4.2_o he_o baptize_v none_o but_o he_o administer_v the_o supper_n as_o all_o the_o evangelist_n 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

point_n that_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o whereas_o the_o apostle_n here_o in_o this_o speech_n make_v mention_n of_o the_o outward_a element_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n he_o call_v they_o by_o their_o own_o proper_a name_n eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n that_o be_v this_o wine_n he_o call_v

the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o here_o see_v he_o infer_v it_o by_o way_n of_o reason_n now_o that_o which_o christ_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o verse_n go_v before_o be_v bread_n after_o it_o be_v bless_v

doctrine_n that_o hence_o we_o be_v to_o observe_v be_v this_o namely_o that_o howsoever_o the_o creature_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n use_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v consecrate_v by_o the_o institution_n and_o blessing_n of_o god_n to_o a_o spiritual_a and_o sacred_a use_n yet_o they_o be_v not_o thereby_o change_v out_o of_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n but_o still_o for_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n they_o continue_v the_o same_o creature_n as_o before_o the_o same_o bread_n and_o the_o same_o wine_n bread_n still_o as_o it_o be_v bread_n
christ_n have_v but_o one_o person_n his_o manhood_n have_v his_o subsistence_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o that_o christ_n both_o god_n and_o man_n be_v but_o one_o person_n

by_o reason_n of_o this_o near_a union_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n it_o be_v true_o say_v that_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v

in_o respect_n of_o ourselves_o yet_o the_o lord_n will_v accept_v we_o as_o worthy_a in_o christ_n jesus_n ay_o but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o do_v not_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n if_o when_o we_o come_v to_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n our_o heart_n and_o our_o faith_n do_v not_o right_o lay_v hold_v upon_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n why_o then_o we_o

all_o these_o shall_v not_o help_v we_o but_o still_o we_o be_v unworthy_a receiver_n so_o we_o be_v in_o ourselves_o and_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v still_o repute_v of_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v so_o

say_v because_o we_o do_v fail_v in_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o be_v tender_v unto_o we_o namely_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n those_o place_n shall_v suffice_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o this_o point_n out_o of_o scripture_n now_o to_o confirm_v it_o further_o by_o reason_n the_o reason_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v many_o reason_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o comparison_n of_o the_o state_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n with_o the_o state_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n and_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n they_o do_v all_o tend_v chief_o and_o pricipal_o to_o this_o end_n that_o therein_o and_o thereby_o the_o believer_n may_v be_v lead_v on_o to_o enter_v into_o a_o more_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n jesus_n for_o so_o the_o lord_n intend_v they_o and_o ordain_v those_o sacrifice_n and_o sacrament_n for_o that_o purpose_n and_o for_o that_o very_a end_n and_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o so_o the_o faithful_a do_v make_v use_n of_o they_o from_o time_n to_o time_n never_o any_o believer_n under_o the_o state_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n that_o bring_v his_o beast_n his_o bull_n and_o his_o goat_n to_o be_v sacrifice_v for_o sin_n that_o rest_v in_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v sacrifice_n powerful_a and_o effectual_a to_o take_v away_o sin_n no_o say_v the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 10_o to_o the_o hebrew_n it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o blood_n of_o beast_n shall_v take_v away_o sin_n and_o that_o the_o faithful_a know_v well_o enough_o but_o yet_o they_o submit_v themselves_o to_o those_o ordinance_n because_o they_o be_v god_n law_n but_o still_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o they_o aim_v at_o in_o all_o their_o sacrifice_n be_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n the_o death_n of_o the_o messiah_n that_o be_v to_o be_v slay_v for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o the_o perfect_a purge_v away_o of_o sin_n and_o so_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o passeover_n there_o be_v never_o any_o true_a believer_n that_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o paschal_n lamb_n but_o still_o he_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o the_o true_a lamb_n of_o god_n that_o be_v slay_v from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n that_o as_o that_o paschall_n lamb_n be_v a_o memorial_n of_o the_o deliverance_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n out_o of_o egypt_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n so_o the_o true_a lamb_n of_o god_n namely_o the_o son_n of_o god_n
the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o here_o you_o see_v that_o our_o saviour_n lay_v a_o charge_n upon_o his_o apostle_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v this_o what_o administer_v and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n well_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v his_o apostle_n that_o they_o only_o shall_v remember_v christ_n or_o be_v it_o not_o our_o saviour_n meaning_n that_o all_o the_o faithful_a shall_v remember_v christ_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n why_o sure_o it_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n that_o all_o the_o faithful_a shall_v remember_v christ_n from_o time_n to_o time_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n as_o well_o as_o the_o apostle_n and_o this_o be_v the_o apostle_n reach_v in_o these_o word_n for_o have_v make_v rehearsal_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n in_o the_o 25_o verse_n present_o he_o say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o then_o he_o add_v again_o if_o you_o do_v this_o you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v the_o apostle_n build_v this_o very_a doctrine_n upon_o this_o very_a exhortation_n because_o christ_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o perpetual_a ordinance_n and_o must_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o church_n till_o his_o last_o come_n to_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v esteem_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n a_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o the_o continuance_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o he_o build_v it_o plain_o thereupon_o so_o much_o shall_v suffice_v for_o proof_n out_o of_o scripture_n now_o let_v we_o see_v what_o reason_n may_v be_v add_v for_o further_a light_n the_o reason_n be_v many_o reason_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o compare_v this_o with_o the_o passeover_n that_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o exodus_fw-la 12.14_o this_o be_v a_o holy_a remembrance_n to_o you_o a_o holy_a feast_n to_o be_v keep_v among_o you_o throughout_o all_o generation_n you_o shall_v keep_v it_o a_o holy_a feast_n for_o ever_o the_o passeover_n be_v so_o in_o the_o former_a testament_n therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v be_v so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o this_o to_o last_v for_o ever_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v these_o two_o first_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answer_v to_o the_o

more_o hereafter_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answer_v to_o the_o passeover_n the_o passeover_n be_v to_o last_o for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v last_v for_o ever_o too_o the_o other_o ground_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o passeover_n be_v a_o sacrament_n for_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v only_o a_o time_n of_o shadow_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o time_n of_o substance_n shall_v we_o say_v that_o the_o shadow_n shall_v be_v serve_v with_o more_o durable_a thing_n than_o the_o substance_n be_v except_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v serve_v with_o more_o durable_a thing_n than_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n sure_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o one_o must_v be_v as_o durable_a as_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o passeover_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o ever_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v be_v observe_v for_o ever_o too_o and_o whereas_o the_o word_n for_o ever_o may_v admit_v of_o two_o good_a and_o holy_a interpretation_n which_o way_n soever_o you_o take_v it_o yet_o still_o the_o force_n of_o this_o reason_n

take_v it_o i_o say_v in_o this_o sense_n yet_o the_o force_n of_o the_o reason_n will_v necessary_o follow_v if_o the_o passeover_n be_v to_o last_o for_o ever_o till_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n than_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v last_v for_o ever_o till_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n second_o expound_v it_o for_o ever_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o sign_n but_o in_o the_o substance_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n stand_v and_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o to_o all_o eternity_n expound_v it_o so_o for_o so_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n they_o do_v stand_v good_a and_o be_v good_a for_o ever_o in_o christ_n the_o substance_n of_o they_o take_v it_o in_o this_o
