it_o follow_v jesus_n take_v bread_n etc._n etc._n here_o the_o evangelist_n show_v two_o cause_n of_o this_o sacrament_n the_o efficient_a &_o material_a cause_n the_o efficient_a cause_n be_v jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n 1.29_o john_n 1.29_o who_o be_v the_o lamb_n of_o god_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n who_o have_v make_v peace_n between_o god_n and_o we_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n 1.20_o collos_n 1.20_o &_o have_v reconcile_v we_o in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n through_o death_n 1.18_o 1._o pet_n 1.18_o who_o have_v redeem_v we_o from_o our_o vain_a conversation_n receive_v by_o the_o tradition_n of_o our_o father_n neither_o with_o gold_n nor_o silver_n but_o with_o his_o own_o precious_a blood_n who_o have_v love_v we_o have_v wash_v away_o our_o sin_n in_o his_o blood_n ●_o apocal._n 1_o ●_o &_o make_v we_o king_n and_o priest_n unto_o his_o father_n even_o this_o jesus_n our_o only_a saviour_n &_o redeemer_n have_v ordain_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n for_o we_o &_o leave_v it_o unto_o we_o in_o remembrance_n of_o his_o death_n &_o for_o a_o gage_n of_o our_o salvation_n purchase_v thereby_o wherefore_o if_o

we_o to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n in_o he_o aught_o to_o be_v dear_a and_o precious_a unto_o us._n therefore_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o careful_a that_o neither_o negligent_o we_o absent_v ourselves_o from_o it_o nor_o unreverent_o come_v unto_o it_o nor_o that_o we_o make_v not_o small_a account_n of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o use_v to_o make_v great_a account_n even_o of_o small_a thing_n which_o our_o dear_a friend_n leave_v we_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o their_o death_n in_o remembrance_n of_o they_o how_o much_o more_o account_n ought_v we_o to_o make_v of_o this_o sacrament_n how_o small_a soever_o it_o seem_v to_o the_o outward_a eye_n of_o flesh_n &_o blood_n see_v that_o our_o dear_a redeemer_n jesus_n christ_n even_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o hour_n of_o his_o death_n bequeath_v and_o commit_v it_o unto_o we_o and_o have_v leave_v to_o be_v a_o necessary_a food_n unto_o our_o soul_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v daily_o more_o and_o more_o grow_v up_o in_o he_o but_o hereof_o

be_v holy_a sign_n of_o christ_n bless_a body_n offer_v and_o of_o his_o precious_a bloodshed_n for_o us._n and_o here_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o know_v the_o true_a nature_n and_o use_n of_o sacrament_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o god_n in_o offer_v to_o we_o our_o salvation_n purchase_v by_o jesus_n christ_n use_v two_o thing_n the_o one_o be_v his_o word_n wherein_o be_v contain_v his_o sweet_a and_o precious_a promise_n of_o mercy_n ground_v &_o found_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n the_o other_o be_v external_a sign_n which_o we_o call_v sacrament_n &_o be_v add_v to_o the_o word_n for_o seal_n to_o seal_v &_o to_o confirm_v unto_o our_o conscience_n the_o promise_n of_o the_o word_n &_o even_o to_o set_v that_o before_o our_o eye_n which_o the_o promise_n of_o

that_o be_v to_o jesus_n christ_n in_o he_o only_o to_o seek_v our_o salvation_n for_o as_o the_o word_n do_v this_o as_o appear_v by_o those_o place_n before_o allege_v out_o of_o john_n 1.29_o

the_o same_o before_o our_o eye_n as_o for_o example_n baptism_n do_v teach_v we_o to_o the_o eye_n that_o even_o as_o water_n wash_v away_o the_o uncleanness_n of_o our_o body_n so_o christ_n precious_a blood_n which_o he_o shed_v for_o we_o cleanse_v we_o from_o the_o filthiness_n and_o giltines_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o this_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n supper_n teach_v and_o assure_v we_o that_o even_o as_o bread_n and_o wine_n feed_v nourish_v strengthen_v &_o comfort_v man_n hart_n so_o also_o christ_n jesus_n who_o offer_v his_o body_n and_o shed_v his_o blood_n once_o for_o all_o &_o even_o for_o we_o feed_v nourish_v strengthen_v &_o comfort_v our_o feeble_a sinful_a soul_n unto_o eternal_a life_n and_o these_o two_o thing_n his_o word_n &_o outward_a sacrament_n god_n have_v from_o the_o beginning_n use_v thereby_o to_o offer_v our_o salvation_n to_o we_o &_o to_o assure_v we_o of_o his_o favour_n when_o god_n have_v create_v adam_n &_o eve_n and_o place_v they_o in_o
