come_v frequent_o too_o when_o you_o shall_v begin_v effectual_o to_o perceive_v the_o benefit_n of_o your_o communicate_v in_o the_o still_o new_a increase_n of_o piety_n and_o holiness_n in_o all_o your_o action_n when_o be_v full_a with_o a_o constant_a sense_n of_o the_o love_n of_o the_o bless_a jesus_n here_o set_v forth_o to_o we_o you_o shall_v find_v it_o to_o be_v the_o desire_n and_o long_v of_o your_o soul_n to_o come_v often_o to_o this_o grateful_a and_o please_a declaration_n of_o it_o when_o in_o a_o word_n be_v accustom_v to_o consider_v the_o blessing_n and_o advantage_n of_o that_o new_a covenant_n our_o bless_a master_n have_v seal_v to_o we_o in_o his_o blood_n and_o here_o offer_v to_o renew_v with_o we_o in_o this_o sacrament_n you_o shall_v wish_v if_o it_o

have_v i_o offer_v to_o you_o what_o i_o suppose_v may_v suffice_v for_o the_o full_a explication_n of_o the_o word_n before_o we_o and_o from_o the_o account_n of_o which_o we_o may_v now_o easy_o see_v what_o be_v the_o true_a nature_n and_o design_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v institute_v by_o our_o saviour_n to_o be_v a_o sacred_a and_o solemn_a memorial_n of_o that_o death_n and_o passion_n which_o he_o undergo_v for_o we_o and_o of_o the_o great_a benefit_n and_o advantage_n which_o accrue_v to_o we_o thereby_o that_o as_o by_o the_o paschal_n feast_n among_o the_o jew_n god_n perpetuate_v the_o remembrance_n of_o his_o preserve_v they_o from_o the_o destroy_a angel_n first_o and_o then_o deliver_v they_o from_o their_o egyptian_a bondage_n and_o engage_v they_o to_o a_o constant_a annual_a return_n of_o joy_n and_o thanksgiving_n to_o he_o for_o so_o great_a a_o blessing_n so_o by_o this_o better_a passover_n shall_v we_o in_o like_a manner_n keep_v up_o for_o ever_o in_o the_o church_n a_o lively_a and_o affectionate_a commemoration_n of_o that_o better_a and_o more_o glorious_a preservation_n which_o our_o paschal_n lamb_n 7._o the_o lord_n jesus_n have_v by_o his_o own_o blood_n obtain_v for_o we_o and_o set_v forth_o to_o the_o whole_a world_n that_o grateful_a and_o vigorous_a sense_n which_o we_o have_v of_o so_o wonderful_a and_o bless_a a_o deliverance_n now_o this_o be_v the_o true_a meaning_n and_o design_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n we_o may_v from_o hence_o see_v how_o great_a and_o dangerous_a the_o mistake_v be_v which_o some_o have_v run_v into_o concern_v it_o with_o reference_n both_o to_o faith_n and_o practice_n for_o 1._o if_o this_o sacrament_n as_o we_o have_v before_o show_v be_v institute_v as_o a_o memorial_n of_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n it_o be_v then_o plain_a that_o it_o be_v not_o our_o very_a saviour_n christ_n himself_o neither_o in_o the_o state_n of_o his_o death_n nor_o in_o any_o other_o that_o be_v here_o present_v to_o we_o there_o have_v be_v in_o the_o church_n since_o the_o time_n of_o paschasius_fw-la radbertus_n one_o of_o the_o first_o considerable_a innovator_n that_o we_o meet_v with_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o this_o holy_a eucharist_n among_o other_o two_o different_a opinion_n concern_v the_o real_a or_o corporal_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o both_o maintain_v with_o no_o small_a contention_n at_o this_o day_n one_o that_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v convert_v into_o the_o very_a natural_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o nothing_o of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n themselves_o at_o all_o remain_n but_o only_o in_o show_n and_o appearance_n which_o be_v what_o they_o call_v transubstantiation_n the_o other_o that_o the_o true_a substance_n of_o the_o outward_a element_n the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n do_v indeed_o remain_v but_o that_o the_o very_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a and_o supernatural_a manner_n join_v to_o they_o so_o that_o in_o the_o communion_n of_o they_o we_o do_v together_o with_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n receive_v the_o true_a body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n into_o our_o mouth_n true_o and_o real_o present_a which_o they_o call_v consubstantiation_n now_o however_o the_o latter_a of_o these_o be_v much_o the_o more_o pardonable_a error_n of_o the_o two_o as_o neither_o do_v any_o violence_n to_o our_o sense_n which_o evident_o tell_v we_o that_o what_o we_o see_v and_o receive_v in_o this_o sacrament_n be_v certain_o bread_n and_o wine_n nor_o contradict_v the_o many_o passage_n of_o scripture_n which_o declare_v to_o we_o the_o same_o thing_n yet_o be_v they_o both_o very_a great_a mistake_v the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o exist_v in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o at_o the_o same_o time_n nor_o to_o be_v divest_v of_o the_o inseparable_a property_n of_o a_o body_n such_o as_o extension_n of_o part_n space_n figure_n and_o the_o like_a in_o which_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o a_o body_n as_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o a_o spirit_n do_v consist_v but_o these_o opinion_n do_v not_o only_o involve_v a_o plain_a impossibility_n in_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o but_o moreover_o do_v carry_v a_o manifest_a incongruity_n to_o the_o nature_n and_o design_n of_o this_o institution_n for_o if_o the_o end_n of_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v as_o our_o text_n show_v to_o be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n a_o sign_n and_o figure_n of_o his_o body_n break_v and_o of_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o then_o certain_o as_o in_o all_o other_o case_n the_o sign_n must_v be_v different_a from_o the_o thing_n signify_v so_o here_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n be_v not_o his_o body_n but_o the_o memorial_n of_o it_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o blood_n be_v not_o his_o very_a blood_n but_o the_o figure_n and_o representation_n of_o it_o and_o thus_o these_o latter_a word_n do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o become_v the_o best_a and_o clear_a interpretation_n of_o the_o former_a this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o and_o show_v that_o we_o be_v to_o interpret_v it_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o when_o we_o read_v in_o the_o like_a kind_n of_o speak_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n this_o be_v the_o lord_n be_v passover_n i._n e._n the_o memorial_n of_o that_o action_n when_o the_o angel_n pass_v over_o the_o house_n of_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o destroy_v they_o not_o when_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o slay_v the_o egyptian_n but_o here_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v do_v we_o then_o exclude_v christ_n altogether_o from_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o leave_v only_o a_o empty_a sign_n a_o mere_a ceremonial_a remembrance_n of_o he_o and_o no_o more_o god_n forbid_v nay_o but_o i_o dare_v say_v we_o esteem_v christ_n to_o be_v no_o less_o present_a though_o in_o another_o manner_n than_o they_o inasmuch_o as_o in_o this_o sacred_a ordinance_n he_o communicate_v himself_o in_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o passion_n in_o a_o more_o especial_a manner_n to_o every_o faithful_a receiver_n of_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o make_v the_o bread_n which_o he_o eat_v and_o the_o wine_n which_o he_o drink_v become_v not_o indeed_o by_o any_o such_o needless_a and_o absurd_a change_n as_o we_o before_o mention_v but_o by_o grace_n and_o blessing_n by_o his_o divine_a power_n and_o spiritual_a communication_n his_o body_n break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o we_o to_o all_o the_o effect_n of_o piety_n and_o justification_n the_o element_n be_v not_o alter_v they_o continue_v not_o only_o after_o the_o consecration_n but_o in_o the_o very_a receive_n of_o they_o the_o same_o they_o be_v before_o bread_n and_o wine_n without_o any_o bodily_a substance_n beside_o either_o veil_a under_o those_o appearance_n or_o receive_v together_o with_o they_o but_o by_o faith_n at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o we_o take_v these_o into_o our_o mouth_n we_o take_v he_o also_o who_o they_o represent_v into_o our_o soul_n not_o as_o bring_v christ_n from_o heaven_n but_o raise_v up_o our_o mind_n and_o our_o heart_n to_o that_o holy_a place_n where_o he_o be_v we_o unite_v ourselves_o to_o he_o and_o have_v all_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n communicate_v to_o we_o for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n for_o the_o increase_n of_o his_o grace_n and_o favour_n to_o we_o here_o and_o to_o be_v at_o once_o both_o the_o sure_a earnest_n and_o the_o most_o effectual_a mean_n to_o bring_v we_o to_o everlasting_a happiness_n hereafter_o this_o be_v that_o real_a but_o divine_a and_o spiritual_a presence_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o this_o sacrament_n which_o we_o firm_o believe_v and_o which_o secure_v

to_o we_o all_o the_o blessing_n and_o advantage_n which_o the_o other_o can_v hope_v for_o from_o their_o ungrounded_a and_o unwarrantable_a opinion_n of_o a_o natural_a and_o corporal_a participation_n of_o he_o 2._o from_o this_o account_n of_o the_o design_n and_o end_v of_o this_o institution_n it_o follow_v in_o the_o next_o place_n what_o a_o abuse_n they_o have_v make_v of_o it_o who_o from_o a_o remembrance_n of_o a_o sacrifice_n turn_v it_o into_o a_o sacrifice_n itself_o and_o instead_o of_o esteem_v this_o sacrament_n a_o memorial_n of_o that_o offering_n christ_n once_o for_o all_o make_v for_o we_o suppose_v he_o to_o be_v again_o as_o true_o and_o proper_o offer_v in_o it_o as_o ever_o he_o be_v though_o not_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o he_o be_v once_o upon_o the_o cross._n i_o shall_v not_o now_o insist_v so_o long_o upon_o this_o point_n as_o to_o show_v not_o only_o how_o contrary_a such_o a_o opinion_n be_v to_o the_o express_a authority_n of_o holy_a scripture_n which_o declare_v that_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v offer_v once_o for_o all_o that_o by_o his_o once_a offering_n himself_o for_o we_o he_o have_v perfect_v for_o ever_o they_o that_o be_v sanctify_v and_o much_o more_o to_o the_o same_o purpose_n in_o the_o ixth_o and_o xth_o chapter_n to_o the_o hebrew_n but_o how_o derogatory_n to_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o saviour_n whether_o we_o consider_v his_o former_a suffering_n or_o his_o present_a glory_n this_o be_v plain_a that_o if_o the_o design_n of_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n be_v as_o our_o text_n declare_v it_o to_o be_v a_o remembrance_n of_o our_o saviour_n die_v for_o we_o than_o it_o be_v not_o a_o new_a offering_n of_o he_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o absurd_a than_o to_o say_v of_o the_o same_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v both_o the_o memorial_n of_o what_o be_v do_v many_o age_n ago_o and_o the_o very_a same_o thing_n again_o do_v in_o memorial_n of_o its_o self_n 3._o from_o the_o same_o principle_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o if_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o remembrance_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n that_o then_o certain_o those_o must_v have_v very_o desperate_o abuse_v it_o who_o pay_v to_o it_o that_o honour_n and_o worship_n that_o they_o will_v do_v to_o our_o saviour_n himself_o be_v his_o true_a and_o natural_a body_n there_o present_a i_o need_v not_o say_v any_o thing_n to_o prove_v what_o the_o superstition_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v as_o to_o this_o matter_n they_o here_o free_o own_v it_o themselves_o and_o censure_v we_o for_o not_o join_v with_o they_o in_o the_o same_o service_n they_o elevate_v their_o host_n in_o the_o mass_n for_o the_o people_n to_o adore_v it_o they_o have_v institute_v a_o solemn_a feast_n every_o year_n to_o be_v observe_v in_o honour_n of_o it_o they_o dedicate_v religious_a society_n thereunto_o they_o set_v it_o forth_o upon_o their_o altar_n to_o bless_v the_o people_n there_o assemble_v to_o its_o worship_n if_o they_o carry_v it_o abroad_o whether_o to_o the_o sick_a or_o upon_o the_o occasion_n of_o any_o solemn_a procession_n they_o put_v it_o under_o a_o canopy_n bear_v all_o the_o while_n over_o it_o candle_n and_o taper_n be_v carry_v before_o it_o and_o a_o bell_n be_v ring_v all_o the_o way_n that_o it_o pass_v to_o admonish_v all_o that_o be_v in_o sight_n of_o it_o to_o fall_v down_o and_o adore_v it_o and_o by_o all_o these_o and_o many_o other_o of_o their_o action_n they_o oblige_v all_o person_n to_o pay_v the_o supreme_a honour_n that_o they_o give_v to_o god_n to_o this_o holy_a sacrament_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o show_v how_o dangerous_a this_o adoration_n be_v even_o upon_o their_o own_o principle_n whether_o we_o consider_v the_o impossibility_n of_o their_o be_v ever_o sure_a that_o their_o host_n be_v indeed_o consecrate_v as_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v or_o that_o if_o it_o be_v yet_o at_o least_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n which_o be_v creature_n and_o yet_o make_v up_o a_o part_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v by_o consequence_n joint_a partaker_n of_o all_o their_o worship_n but_o alas_o what_o i_o have_v now_o be_v speak_v show_v a_o great_a deal_n more_o not_o only_o that_o the_o accident_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n have_v their_o part_n in_o be_v object_n of_o this_o worship_n but_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n indeed_o be_v not_o at_o all_o concern_v in_o it_o they_o pay_v their_o adoration_n to_o the_o inanimate_a creature_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o commit_v a_o idolatry_n not_o much_o less_o gross_a in_o the_o opinion_n of_o some_o of_o their_o own_o writer_n if_o we_o be_v indeed_o in_o the_o right_n than_o those_o who_o fall_v down_o before_o a_o piece_n of_o red_a cloth_n and_o pay_v their_o adoration_n to_o a_o tile_n or_o a_o potsherd_n but_o 4._o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n in_o our_o text_n plain_o command_v his_o apostle_n and_o in_o they_o all_o of_o we_o to_o do_v that_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o which_o he_o have_v there_o do_v before_o their_o eye_n if_o what_o he_o require_v in_o order_n to_o this_o commemoration_n be_v that_o

it_o will_v then_o follow_v in_o the_o four_o place_n that_o those_o who_o do_v not_o do_v this_o have_v plain_o depart_v from_o our_o saviour_n institution_n and_o do_v not_o remember_v he_o as_o they_o be_v command_v to_o do_v and_o this_o alone_a be_v sufficient_a to_o confute_v that_o great_a corruption_n of_o the_o same_o church_n in_o communicate_v the_o people_n only_o in_o one_o kind_a and_o whatever_o pretence_n they_o may_v offer_v for_o their_o so_o do_v have_v they_o as_o just_a reason_n otherwise_o for_o alter_v the_o order_n of_o this_o sacrament_n as_o god_n know_v it_o be_v plain_a they_o have_v not_o any_o at_o all_o yet_o this_o will_v still_o remain_v a_o perpetual_a exception_n against_o it_o that_o our_o saviour_n here_o express_o command_v they_o to_o do_v this_o i._n e._n that_o which_o himself_o then_o do_v in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o who_o give_v the_o wine_n as_o well_o as_o bread_n to_o his_o apostle_n and_o repeat_v the_o command_n after_o the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o and_o not_o what_o they_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n after_o think_v fit_v to_o do_v and_o these_o be_v such_o consequence_n as_o concern_v other_o rather_o than_o ourselves_o who_o god_n be_v thank_v be_v again_o deliver_v from_o all_o these_o corruption_n and_o have_v no_o otherwise_o any_o cause_n to_o remember_v they_o than_o as_o they_o serve_v to_o confirm_v we_o in_o our_o pure_a and_o holy_a doctrine_n and_o practice_n in_o this_o matter_n and_o aught_o to_o raise_v up_o our_o soul_n to_o a_o grateful_a acknowledgement_n of_o god_n mercy_n to_o we_o who_o have_v free_v we_o from_o such_o great_a and_o dangerous_a error_n and_o in_o which_o he_o still_o permit_v so_o many_o other_o to_o continue_v but_o there_o be_v yet_o some_o other_o conclusion_n to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o forego_n reflection_n and_o in_o which_o we_o may_v perhaps_o find_v somewhat_o that_o will_v be_v of_o a_o more_o near_o and_o direct_v concern_v to_o we_o for_o 5._o if_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v here_o command_v we_o to_o do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o he_o that_o be_v to_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a table_n and_o receive_v this_o bless_a sacrament_n and_o make_v our_o public_a and_o solemn_a acknowledgement_n to_o he_o for_o his_o great_a mercy_n in_o die_v for_o we_o what_o then_o shall_v we_o say_v of_o those_o who_o despise_v this_o sacred_a ordinance_n do_v either_o total_o absent_v themselves_o from_o this_o memorial_n or_o come_v but_o very_o seldom_o and_o negligent_o to_o it_o this_o certain_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a fault_n as_o it_o be_v evident_o contrary_a to_o the_o express_a command_n of_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o text_n before_o we_o and_o if_o we_o may_v make_v any_o judgement_n of_o christ_n resentment_n of_o it_o either_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o or_o from_o the_o severe_a punishment_n god_n threaten_v unto_o those_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n who_o shall_v

what_o do_v he_o who_o despise_v this_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o neglect_v to_o partake_v of_o it_o but_o in_o effect_n despise_v christ_n himself_o and_o tread_v under_o foot_n the_o blood_n of_o
