allege_v that_o jesus_n christ_n do_v this_o occasional_o that_o be_v to_o say_v because_o he_o be_v at_o table_n as_o by_o occasion_n he_o find_v himself_o near_o a_o well_o and_o demand_v water_n to_o drink_v of_o the_o samaritane_n woman_n that_o the_o speak_v to_o she_o of_o the_o grace_n &_o efficacy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n under_o the_o name_n of_o water_n and_o drink_v this_o answer_n suffice_v when_o we_o demand_v why_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v to_o the_o troop_n and_o multitude_n of_o people_n before_o he_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n propose_v himself_o as_o bread_n descend_v from_o heaven_n and_o his_o flesh_n as_o meat_n which_o give_v everlasting_a and_o eternal_a life_n for_o it_o be_v clear_a and_o apparent_a that_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v so_o

and_o derive_v from_o the_o occasion_n to_o be_v at_o table_n be_v not_o sufficient_a for_o we_o may_v demand_v again_o why_o jesus_n christ_n place_v and_o sit_v himself_o at_o table_n to_o institute_v and_o celebrate_v this_o sacrament_n for_o answer_v whereof_o they_o allege_v and_o propose_v three_o reason_n i_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v already_o institute_v baptism_n under_o the_o similitude_n of_o a_o birth_n it_o be_v likewise_o very_o fit_a and_o expedient_a that_o he_o shall_v institute_v his_o holy_a supper_n under_o the_o similitude_n of_o nutriment_n or_o nourishment_n for_o if_o the_o beginning_n of_o grace_n and_o of_o spiritual_a life_n have_v be_v propose_v in_o the_o first_o sacrament_n by_o a_o birth_n in_o comparison_n of_o a_o temporal_a life_n it_o be_v very_o requisite_a and_o reasonable_a that_o the_o advancement_n and_o progress_n of_o grace_n shall_v by_o the_o same_o comparison_n be_v propose_v by_o a_o nourishment_n in_o the_o second_o sacrament_n as_o than_o jesus_n christ_n have_v in_o baptism_n give_v water_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a of_o the_o generation_n of_o corporal_a thing_n to_o be_v a_o figure_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o principal_a and_o efficient_a cause_n of_o the_o regeneration_n of_o our_o soul_n so_o he_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o bless_a supper_n by_o those_o thing_n from_o whence_o we_o have_v and_o receive_v our_o temporal_a nourishment_n to_o wit_n bread_n and_o wine_n thereby_o to_o represent_v unto_o we_o the_o life_n which_o our_o soul_n receive_v of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o word_n of_o eat_v be_v no_o more_o mean_v or_o take_v of_o the_o letter_n in_o this_o sacrament_n then_o that_o of_o birth_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n and_o that_o he_o who_o think_v or_o pretend_v to_o nourish_v himself_o of_o jesus_n christ_n by_o his_o bodily_a mouth_n commit_v the_o same_o error_n which_o nicodemus_n do_v who_o because_o christ_n speak_v to_o he_o of_o be_v bear_v again_o 3.4_o john_n 3.4_o ask_v if_o man_n when_o he_o be_v grow_v old_a can_v reenter_v into_o his_o mother_n belly_n and_o be_v bear_v anew_o ii_o reason_n that_o our_o union_n with_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o foundation_n of_o the_o application_n which_o be_v make_v and_o give_v we_o by_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n for_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o apply_v or_o give_v but_o to_o those_o who_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o body_n with_o he_o according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o saviour_n of_o his_o body_n it_o be_v expedient_a that_o this_o union_n shall_v be_v represent_v unto_o we_o but_o it_o can_v more_o perfect_o or_o lively_o be_v represent_v or_o figure_v to_o we_o then_o by_o the_o union_n of_o meat_n with_o our_o body_n sith_o there_o be_v nothing_o which_o nature_n do_v more_o strict_o or_o efficable_o unite_v to_o our_o body_n than_o meat_n by_o our_o eat_n thereof_o as_o then_o by_o eat_v meat_n do_v become_v our_o own_o proper_a flesh_n and_o bone_n so_o we_o be_v teach_v that_o by_o the_o faith_n and_o virtue_n of_o christ_n holy_a spirit_n we_o become_v one_o with_o jesus_n christ_n and_o be_v make_v flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o again_o that_o as_o by_o the_o union_n of_o meat_n we_o receive_v our_o temporal_a life_n so_o by_o our_o union_n with_o jesus_n christ_n we_o receive_v our_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a life_n iii_o reason_n that_o

towards_o he_o shall_v we_o have_v such_o stupid_a and_o senseless_a heart_n that_o the_o lord_n great_a compassion_n towards_o we_o shall_v nothing_o move_v or_o stir_v they_o up_o and_o such_o

he_o will_v redeem_v and_o expiate_v it_o with_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n of_o a_o truth_n if_o we_o repute_v &_o esteem_v not_o christ_n blood_n for_o a_o light_n and_o trivial_a thing_n needs_o must_v sin_n be_v very_o odious_a &_o grievous_a unto_o we_o and_o then_o needs_o must_v jesus_n christ_n crucify_v be_v unto_o we_o the_o powerful_a motive_n to_o crucify_v the_o flesh_n
