and_o unworthy_o receive_v then_o they_o do_v not_o put_v forth_o any_o spiritual_a efficacy_n thus_o the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n put_v forth_o spiritual_a efficacy_n when_o it_o be_v order_v in_o a_o lawful_a manner_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v be_v not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n be_v the_o same_o and_o yet_o be_v that_o

by_o art_n the_o papist_n call_v it_o physical_a in_o the_o sacrament_n they_o say_v the_o sacrament_n work_v natural_o if_o take_v they_o have_v a_o quality_n to_o convey_v grace_n the_o sacrament_n

have_v the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n thus_o the_o papist_n derogate_v from_o christ_n by_o make_v a_o quality_n to_o be_v inherent_a in_o the_o sacrament_n to_o convey_v grace_n into_o any_o

institution_n god_n use_v it_o as_o a_o mean_n to_o work_v by_o but_o the_o virtue_n be_v in_o himself_o there_o be_v no_o inherent_a virtue_n in_o the_o brass_n but_o god_n appoint_v it_o for_o this_o end_n as_o a_o moral_a instrument_n 4_o when_o the_o sacrament_n be_v thus_o take_v for_o such_o a_o end_n and_o to_o such_o a_o work_n there_o be_v a_o divine_a virtue_n go_v along_o with_o

it_o &_o carry_v it_o to_o the_o understanding_n it_o signify_v all_o spiritual_a good_a to_o the_o understanding_n to_o a_o man_n that_o worthy_o receive_v it_o it_o carry_v it_o sacramental_o so_o as_o it_o be_v plain_a no_o man_n can_v institute_v a_o sacrament_n to_o have_v the_o good_a of_o it_o as_o the_o seal_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n must_v make_v good_a god_n engagement_n so_o as_o the_o heart_n can_v get_v away_o from_o the_o goodness_n 3_o the_o sacrament_n exhibit_v grace_n so_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n go_v along_o with_o it_o and_o see_v it_o accomplish_v thus_o they_o be_v the_o same_o with_o we_o for_o they_o and_o we_o comunicate_v the_o virtue_n of_o it_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v of_o force_n as_o under_o the_o

the_o main_a worker_n be_v the_o spirit_n all_o be_v possible_a to_o he_o he_o can_v secret_o do_v it_o to_o a_o child_n he_o be_v not_o confine_v to_o our_o work_n he_o can_v overshadow_v the_o

be_v a_o seal_n of_o our_o first_o entrance_n and_o the_o supper_n be_v our_o nourish_v in_o the_o family_n of_o christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o baptism_n seal_v our_o first_o work_n into_o christ_n that_o whereby_o we_o be_v implant_v into_o christ_n in_o which_o work_n we_o be_v meet_o passive_a but_o when_o we_o be_v settle_v on_o christ_n the_o truth_n be_v this_o we_o have_v a_o gracious_a principle_n put_v into_o we_o and_o so_o we_o work_v by_o ourselves_o and_o by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o spirit_n but_o at_o the_o first_o the_o spirit_n make_v we_o willing_a that_o

the_o work_v we_o be_v passive_a in_o 3_o hence_o we_o may_v see_v the_o spirit_n may_v as_o well_o seal_v

this_o but_o if_o the_o receiver_n hinder_v and_o stop_v the_o benefit_n it_o be_v his_o fault_n the_o sacrament_n be_v the_o same_o for_o child_n we_o must_v look_v at_o they_o as_o god_n allow_v

it_o intend_v it_o the_o unworthines_n of_o it_o do_v hinder_v but_o god_n intend_v it_o as_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v the_o favour_n of_o life_n unto_o life_n if_o it_o be_v worthy_o receive_v but_o if_o it_o be_v abuse_v than_o it_o be_v the_o savour_n of_o death_n unto_o death_n if_o man_n creep_v into_o the_o church_n that_o be_v unworthy_a and_o hinder_v the_o benefit_n yet_o it_o hinder_v

will_v you_o say_v such_o a_o city_n charter_n be_v break_v no_o but_o his_o bare_a carriage_n be_v the_o cause_n so_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n be_v the_o same_o and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v
