against_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacrament_n which_o consist_v in_o receive_v for_o the_o main_a difference_n between_o a_o sacrifice_n and_o a_o sacrament_n be_v that_o in_o the_o one_o we_o give_v to_o god_n in_o the_o other_o god_n give_v to_o we_o and_o we_o receive_v of_o he_o 3._o it_o abolish_v the_o mystery_n of_o our_o consolation_n and_o that_o whereby_o our_o faith_n be_v strengthen_v in_o the_o use_n of_o these_o holy_a sign_n that_o mankind_n may_v have_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n and_o what_o he_o shall_v do_v on_o our_o behalf_n we_o know_v it_o be_v require_v he_o shall_v

and_o so_o some_o man_n shall_v be_v the_o better_a for_o it_o since_o our_o whole_a kind_n by_o reason_n of_o his_o incarnation_n be_v capable_a of_o the_o benefit_n of_o his_o passion_n and_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o redemption_n but_o in_o that_o though_o christ_n become_v man_n yet_o he_o take_v not_o upon_o he_o the_o nature_n of_o every_o several_a man_n hence_o no_o man_n from_o his_o

namely_o 4._o that_o the_o apostle_n warrant_v here_o by_o his_o example_n the_o illustration_n of_o thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n by_o the_o type_n of_o the_o law_n for_o if_o the_o apostle_n use_v a_o example_n where_o one_o will_v scarce_o suspect_v there_o be_v a_o tppe_n much_o more_o do_v he_o approve_v a_o application_n where_o a_o type_n be_v plain_a and_o evident_a and_o beside_o seem_v to_o insinuate_v thus_o much_o unto_o we_o that_o all_o the_o extraordinary_a action_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o ancient_a people_n have_v in_o they_o some_o mystery_n of_o some_o thing_n to_o come_v as_o this_o of_o manna_n in_o the_o wilderness_n and_o i_o make_v no_o question_n but_o the_o search_a and_o suit_v of_o allegory_n in_o these_o two_o kind_n be_v allowable_a and_o profitable_a but_o this_o be_v the_o error_n of_o allegorizer_n they_o seek_v allegory_n where_o they_o be_v not_o but_o where_o they_o be_v they_o seldom_o look_v for_o they_o for_o although_o the_o body_n and_o verity_n be_v of_o itself_o more_o clear_a and_o evident_a than_o the_o shadow_n yet_o always_o a_o comparison_n afford_v more_o light_a than_o a_o single_a contemplation_n now_o because_o the_o apostle_n have_v lead_v the_o way_n of_o this_o practice_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o eucharist_n let_v i_o have_v leave_n to_o second_v he_o in_o another_o instance_n of_o the_o same_o argument_n almost_o out_o of_o himself_o in_o the_o chapter_n not_o in_o so_o sublime_a a_o kind_n but_o in_o a_o plain_a and_o vulgar_a type_n among_o all_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v
