must_v the_o word_n do_v this_o necessary_o refer_v because_o they_o immediate_o follow_v the_o do_n of_o all_o this_o and_o no_o part_n of_o this_o be_v except_v in_o our_o saviour_n command_n those_o who_o be_v to_o provide_v and_o distribute_v be_v to_o provide_v and_o distribute_v both_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o so_o have_v our_o lord_n do_v and_o those_o who_o be_v to_o receive_v be_v to_o receive_v both_o bread_n and_o wine_n for_o so_o have_v the_o apostle_n receive_v and_o therefore_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v inexcusable_a which_o direct_o contrary_a to_o our_o lord_n institution_n give_v the_o bread_n only_o to_o some_o receiver_n without_o the_o wine_n second_o who_o the_o person_n be_v that_o be_v concern_v to_o do_v this_o and_o they_o be_v all_o christian_n

in_o commemoration_n of_o they_o so_o that_o if_o we_o have_v have_v no_o direction_n about_o this_o matter_n in_o scripture_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o must_v then_o have_v take_v place_n and_o that_o will_v have_v make_v this_o supper_n perpetual_a but_o the_o scripture_n have_v not_o be_v silent_a in_o this_o point_n but_o have_v plain_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v thus_o to_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v that_o be_v till_o his_o second_o come_v to_o judge_v the_o world_n second_o all_o sort_n of_o christian_n the_o laity_n or_o people_n as_o well_o as_o the_o clergy_n or_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n for_o though_o it_o be_v pretend_v by_o some_o that_o because_o our_o lord_n give_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n only_o to_o the_o apostle_n who_o be_v all_o minister_n and_o not_o any_o one_o lay_v disciple_n therefore_o he_o design_v this_o supper_n only_o for_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gosspel_n but_o not_o at_o all_o for_o the_o people_n yet_o i_o think_v the_o contrary_n may_v very_o plain_o be_v prove_v both_o from_o reason_n and_o scripture_n from_o reason_n both_o because_o it_o appear_v most_o probable_a that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o this_o supper_n be_v the_o representative_n of_o the_o people_n and_o not_o of_o the_o minister_n who_o be_v then_o much_o better_o represent_v by_o our_o great_a high_a priest_n christ_n jesus_n and_o who_o office_n it_o be_v plain_a he_o then_o alone_o execute_v and_o likewise_o because_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o people_n who_o be_v as_o much_o partaker_n of_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n death_n as_o the_o minister_n have_v as_o great_a reason_n to_o commemorate_v they_o as_o they_o from_o scripture_n both_o because_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o thence_o that_o the_o apostle_n constant_o administer_v this_o supper_n to_o the_o people_n as_o to_o give_v one_o instance_n for_o all_o we_o read_v act_n 2.42_o where_o we_o have_v no_o less_o than_o three_o thousand_o lay_n convert_v at_o once_o receive_v this_o supper_n and_o likewise_o because_o we_o there_o find_v st._n paul_n spend_v great_a part_n of_o a_o chapter_n in_o urge_v and_o direct_v the_o lay_n corinthian_n how_o they_o ought_v to_o receive_v 1_o cor._n 11._o it_o

be_v true_a indeed_o that_o the_o part_n which_o our_o lord_n have_v in_o the_o institution_n of_o his_o holy_a supper_n viz._n the_o blessing_n of_o bread_n and_o break_v it_o and_o take_v wine_n and_o give_v thanks_o and_o distribute_v both_o belong_v only_o to_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n because_o these_o be_v all_o special_a act_n and_o exercise_n of_o the_o ministerial_a function_n and_o as_o such_o have_v be_v always_o reserve_v to_o they_o alone_o but_o the_o receive_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n whe●_n break_v bless_a and_o offer_v to_o we_o be_v the_o common_a dut●_n of_o all_o christian_n as_o well_o people_n as_o minister_n three_o the_o end_n for_o which_o this_o be_v command_v to_o be_v do_v in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o or_o rather_o in_o commemoration_n of_o i_o for_o so_o the_o word_n which_o we_o here_o translate_v remembrance_n sometime_o signify_v and_o this_o indeed_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a signification_n of_o it_o in_o this_o place_n for_o commemoration_n be_v a_o solemn_a act_n of_o remembrance_n and_o such_o a_o one_o no_o doubt_n our_o saviour_n here_o expect_v from_o we_o we_o be_v always_o bind_v habitual_o to_o remember_v he_o but_o this_o his_o supper_n be_v particular_o design_v to_o excite_v in_o our_o soul_n a_o present_a and_o actual_a remembrance_n of_o he_o of_o he_o that_o be_v of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o his_o body_n that_o be_v break_v and_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o we_o for_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v here_o administer_v to_o we_o be_v appoint_v by_o he_o as_o sign_n and_o representation_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o he_o himself_o tell_v we_o at_o his_o institution_n of_o this_o holy_a supper_n this_o say_v he_o speak_v of_o the_o

for_o many_o as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v the_o wine_n which_o you_o now_o see_v in_o this_o cup_n and_o which_o i_o command_v you_o all_o to_o drink_v of_o be_v a_o sign_n or_o representation_n of_o

bread_n and_o drink_v of_o this_o cup_n we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o put_v both_o part_n of_o our_o lord_n commandment_n together_o and_o to_o fulfil_v both_o by_o do_v it_o in_o remembrance_n of_o

of_o christ_n for_o our_o saviour_n and_o redeemer_n for_o what_o else_o be_v it_o to_o commemorate_v his_o die_n for_o we_o but_o to_o declare_v that_o we_o be_v sensible_a that_o our_o peace_n be_v make_v with_o god_n through_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o cross_n and_o that_o we_o who_o before_o be_v all_o under_o sin_n and_o liable_a to_o wrath_n alien_n from_o and_o enemy_n to_o god_n shall_v now_o not_o have_v our_o trespass_n impute_v to_o we_o but_o be_v save_v from_o wrath_n through_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o body_n of_o his_o flesh_n through_o death_n be_v reconcile_v unto_o god_n to_o declare_v i_o say_v and_o show_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n that_o our_o hope_n be_v only_o in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n who_o have_v now_o appear_v to_o put_v away_o sin_n by_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o himself_o and_o in_o who_o alone_o we_o have_v redemption_n through_o his_o blood_n even_a forgiveness_n of_o sin_n this_o you_o see_v be_v what_o the_o scripture_n mean_v by_o christ_n body_n be_v break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o and_o therefore_o all_o christian_n who_o sincere_o remember_v those_o must_v sincere_o acknowledge_v this_o second_o a_o acknowledgement_n of_o

acknowledge_v christ_n die_v for_o we_o we_o do_v manifest_o acknowledge_v our_o obligation_n both_o to_o love_v and_o obey_v he_o to_o love_v he_o who_o have_v so_o love_v we_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o to_o obey_v he_o who_o purchase_n we_o be_v who_o have_v buy_v we_o with_o a_o price_n even_o the_o inestimable_a price_n of_o his_o blood_n and_o have_v therefore_o a_o right_a to_o we_o as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o as_o a_o peculiar_a people_n to_o himself_o and_o this_o the_o primitive_a christian_n be_v so_o sensible_a of_o that_o they_o look_v upon_o every_o receive_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o be_v a_o new_a tie_n and_o obligation_n a_o new_a vow_n and_o dedication_n of_o themselves_o to_o christ_n and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o word_n

these_o great_a work_n and_o likewise_o their_o sovereignty_n and_o dominion_n over_o we_o which_o be_v the_o natural_a effect_n of_o they_o second_o the_o preserve_v the_o unity_n of_o his_o church_n towards_o which_o nothing_o can_v contribute_v more_o than_o the_o frequent_a meeting_n together_o of_o its_o member_n to_o acknowledge_v one_o hope_n of_o their_o call_n one_o lord_n one_o faith_n one_o baptism_n one_o god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o above_o all_o through_o all_o and_o in_o they_o all_o and_o this_o be_v most_o effectual_o acknowledge_v by_o our_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o

three_o the_o good_a and_o edification_n of_o every_o particular_a christian_a and_o this_o end_n will_v appear_v to_o be_v admirable_o well_o serve_v this_o way_n if_o we_o will_v give_v ourselves_o leave_v to_o reflect_v a_o little_a on_o the_o benefit_n which_o every_o christian_a be_v make_v partaker_n of_o by_o receive_v this_o holy_a supper_n and_o first_o if_o we_o consider_v this_o holy_a

this_o will_v natural_o tend_v to_o inflame_v our_o love_n and_o exalt_v our_o gratitude_n towards_o he_o to_o confirm_v our_o faith_n and_o strengthen_v our_o hope_n in_o he_o and_o to_o fix_v and_o
