that_o doctrine_n savour_v at_o all_o of_o popery_n because_o the_o signification_n we_o give_v to_o the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n be_v of_o a_o quite_o different_a nature_n from_o what_o the_o

have_v be_v less_o useful_a towards_o the_o form_n a_o distinct_a conception_n of_o it_o that_o which_o will_v especial_o require_v our_o second_o thought_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o that_o and_o

as_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n which_o that_o institution_n do_v manifest_o import_v that_o be_v to_o say_v a_o command_n and_o a_o promise_n so_o that_o command_v again_o respect_v the_o element_n

which_o as_o be_v before_o observe_v it_o either_o prescribe_v particular_a rule_n for_o or_o remit_v man_n for_o they_o to_o the_o general_a precept_n of_o christianity_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v

a_o necessity_n of_o apply_v that_o part_n of_o the_o institution_n to_o they_o by_o the_o execution_n of_o those_o command_n which_o it_o enjoin_v because_o the_o set_v they_o apart_o for_o that_o

now_o set_v myself_o to_o inquire_v and_o here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o see_v by_o what_o be_v deliver_v in_o the_o general_a concern_v the_o power_n of_o remit_v sin_n or_o in_o particular_a concern_v the_o power_n of_o baptism_n that_o the_o separation_n or_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o ought_v according_o to_o be_v leave_v to_o they_o to_o perform_v because_o as_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v by_o christ_n commit_v to_o his_o apostle_n so_o none_o can_v therefore_o

second_o that_o as_o the_o separation_n or_o consecration_n of_o the_o element_n be_v the_o proper_a work_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n even_o by_o the_o institution_n of_o christ_n so_o it_o can_v therefore_o ordinary_o at_o least_o be_v attempt_v without_o sin_n by_o other_o because_o a_o deviation_n from_o his_o institution_n and_o thus_o far_o all_o who_o acknowledge_v a_o

reason_n enough_o to_o believe_v even_o from_o thence_o that_o those_o element_n can_v ordinary_o have_v the_o relation_n of_o a_o sacrament_n by_o any_o other_o consecration_n than_o they_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suppose_v to_o extend_v any_o far_a than_o those_o command_n to_o which_o it_o be_v annex_v be_v observe_v neither_o can_v we_o

this_o affair_n be_v whether_o in_o extraordinary_a case_n and_o where_o a_o lawful_a minister_n can_v be_v have_v other_o person_n may_v take_v upon_o they_o to_o consecrate_v and_o administer_v it_o

sacrament_n and_o so_o far_o therefore_o to_o be_v in_o a_o capacity_n to_o profit_v those_o to_o who_o they_o be_v dispense_v so_o it_o be_v christ_n and_o not_o the_o minister_n who_o must_v

such_o too_o as_o be_v more_o certain_a than_o the_o posture_n of_o receive_v be_v for_o they_o no_o more_o than_o we_o think_v themselves_o oblige_v to_o receive_v either_o in_o the_o evening_n or_o in_o a_o upper_a room_n or_o in_o unleavened_a bread_n all_o which_o christ_n and_o his_o disciple_n must_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o have_v do_v in_o that_o supper_n which_o he_o celebrate_v with_o
