with_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v wrought_v by_o the_o operation_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n who_o by_o true_a faith_n

only_o yet_o we_o affirm_v that_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o right_a use_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n have_v such_o conjunction_n with_o christ_n jesus_n as_o the_o natural_a man_n can_v apprehend_v yea_o and_o further_o we_o affirm_v that_o albeit_o the_o faithful_a oppress_v by_o negligence_n and_o manly_a infirmity_n do_v not_o profit_n so_o much_o as_o they_o will_v in_o the_o very_a

divide_v from_o the_o right_a institution_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n will_v not_o frustrate_v the_o faithful_a of_o the_o fruit_n of_o that_o mystical_a action_n but_o all_o this_o we_o say_v come_v of_o true_a faith_n which_o apprehend_v christ_n jesus_n who_o only_o make_v this_o sacrament_n effectual_a unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o whosoever_o slander_v we_o as_o that_o we_o affirm_v or_o believe_v sacrament_n to_o be_v naked_a and_o bare_a sign_n do_v injury_n unto_o we_o and_o speak_v against_o the_o manifest_a truth_n but_o this_o liberal_o and_o frank_o
we_o confess_v that_o we_o make_v a_o distinction_n betwixt_o christ_n jesus_n in_o his_o eternal_a substance_n and_o betwixt_o the_o element_n in_o the_o sacramental_a sign_n so_o that_o we_o will_v neither_o worship_v the_o sign_n in_o the_o place_n of_o that_o which_o be_v signify_v by_o they_o neither_o yet_o do_v we_o despise_v and_o interpret_v they_o as_o junprofitable_a and_o vain_a but_o do_v use_v they_o with_o all_o reverence_n examine_v ourselves_o diligent_o before_o that_o so_o we_o do_v because_o we_o be_v assure_v by_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o apostle_n that_o such_o as_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o that_o cup_n unworthy_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n xxii_o of_o the_o right_a administration_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o sacrament_n be_v right_o minister_v we_o judge_v two_o thing_n requisite_a the_o one_o that_o they_o be_v minister_v by_o lawful_a minister_n who_o we_o affirm_v to_o be_v only_o these_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n into_o who_o mouth_n god_n have_v put_v some_o sermon_n of_o exhortation_n they_o be_v man_n lawful_o choose_v thereto_o by_o some_o kirk_n the_o other_o that_o they_o be_v minister_v in_o such_o element_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o god_n have_v appoint_v else_o we_o affirm_v that_o they_o cease_v to_o be_v the_o right_a sacrament_n ☞_o of_o christ_n jesus_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o we_o fly_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o papistical_a kirk_n in_o participation_n of_o their_o sacrament_n first_o because_o their_o minister_n be_v no_o minister_n of_o christ_n jesus_n yea_o which_o be_v more_o horrible_a they_o suffer_v woman_n who_o the_o holy_a ghost_n will_v not_o suffer_v to_o teach_v in_o the_o congregation_n to_o baptise_v and_o second_o because_o they_o have_v so_o adulterate_v both_o the_o one_o sacrament_n and_o the_o other_o with_o their_o own_o invention_n that_o no_o part_n of_o christ_n action_n ☞_o
