from_o the_o lawgiver_n jesus_n christ_n who_o decree_v institute_v and_o ordain_v that_o those_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n receive_v on_o these_o condition_n shall_v be_v powerful_a and_o

appurtenance_n by_o the_o lease_n as_o by_o a_o mean_n and_o instrument_n ordain_v to_o estate_n i_o in_o it_o so_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n jesus_n be_v not_o within_o the_o consecrate_a bread_n and_o wine_n and_o yet_o by_o they_o as_o by_o a_o mean_n or_o moral_a instrument_n ordain_v and_o appoint_v by_o god_n to_o confer_v such_o grace_n upon_o i_o i_o do_v take_v as_o true_a and_o real_a possession_n of_o christ_n and_o all_o his_o merit_n as_o any_o tenant_n have_v true_a and_o firm_a possession_n of_o his_o land_n i_o hope_v that_o i_o be_o right_o understand_v and_o that_o the_o simple_a do_v full_o perceive_v how_o gross_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v belie_v when_o they_o give_v out_o that_o we_o make_v the_o sacrament_n no_o more_o

well_o be_v consider_v apart_o what_o then_o be_v point_v at_o and_o figure_v by_o this_o brazen_a serpent_n for_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o god_n can_v have_v restore_v health_n by_o a_o thousand_o other_o mean_n beside_o this_o wherefore_o some_o great_a mystery_n be_v fore-signified_n in_o that_o his_o wisdom_n who_o know_v all_o thing_n best_o make_v choice_n of_o this_o of_o the_o

but_o imagine_v that_o some_o great_a mystery_n be_v foreshadowed_n by_o that_o fact_n of_o moses_n for_o none_o so_o simple_a but_o can_v understand_v that_o a_o brazen_a serpent_n hang_v on_o a_o pole_n have_v not_o in_o itself_o any_o power_n at_o all_o to_o cure_v the_o poisonful_a bite_n of_o live_a serpent_n and_o that_o god_n who_o can_v by_o a_o thousand_o other_o mean_n have_v cure_v they_o do_v upon_o special_a and_o singular_a consideration_n command_v that_o because_o he_o in_o it_o will_v shadow_v forth_o some_o deep_a mystery_n that_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n may_v the_o better_o persuade_v his_o doctrine_n by_o the_o lift_n up_o of_o this_o serpent_n he_o show_v nicodemus_n beforehand_o of_o his_o passion_n that_o when_o it_o shall_v happen_v he_o may_v not_o be_v scandalilize_v and_o howsoever_o it_o chief_o aim_v at_o his_o passion_n yet_o to_o speak_v the_o truth_n there_o be_v not_o in_o all_o the_o
