christ_n in_o the_o sacrament_n 15._o as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o point_n we_o may_v well_o agree_v in_o these_o thing_n 1._o that_o jesus_n christ_n take_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o

that_o when_o his_o body_n be_v lodge_v in_o the_o womb_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o hang_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o lay_v bury_v in_o the_o grave_a it_o be_v not_o at_o that_o time_n elsewhere_o nor_o in_o divers_a other_o place_n at_o once_o 4._o that_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n be_v every_o where_o present_a in_o all_o place_n 5._o that_o he_o be_v ascend_v up_o into_o

from_o he_o the_o infirmity_n but_o not_o abolish_v the_o verity_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n 7._o that_o in_o the_o last_o day_n he_o shall_v come_v in_o that_o self_n same_o flesh_n which_o he_o take_v from_o the_o virgin_n mary_n to_o judge_v both_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a if_o beside_o these_o there_o be_v some_o differrent_fw-la opinion_n about_o which_o we_o can_v agree_v this_o

it_o unto_o they_o that_o in_o faith_n beg_v it_o of_o he_o 16._o touch_v the_o sacrament_n and_o our_o participation_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n we_o may_v harmonious_o agree_v in_o these_o point_n 1._o that_o the_o sacramental_a element_n be_v not_o bare_a and_o empty_a sign_n nor_o only_o mere_a naked_a symbol_n and_o simple_a institute_v figure_n of_o the_o truth_n 2._o that_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o do_v real_o and_o in_o very_a deed_n partake_v of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n jesus_n 3._o that_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o transubstantiate_v nor_o cease_v to_o be_v bread_n after_o the_o consecration_n whence_o it_o follow_v 4._o that_o the_o sacrament_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v adore_v but_o our_o heart_n must_v be_v lift_v up_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n in_o heaven_n as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o participation_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o holy_a supper_n we_o need_v not_o be_v scrupulous_o inquisitive_a about_o it_o only_o to_o join_v issue_n with_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v in_o the_o 3d_o to_o the_o ephesian_n that_o jesus_n christ_n dwell_v in_o our_o heart_n by_o faith_n whence_o it_o inevitable_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v a_o mere_a stranger_n unto_o the_o heart_n of_o all_o unbeliever_n but_o if_o any_o one_o be_v otherwise_o persuade_v let_v he_o succour_v and_o support_v his_o weak_a brethren_n and_o not_o judge_v and_o persecute_v they_o with_o violence_n and_o cruelty_n wherefore_o in_o those_o matter_n wherein_o we_o be_v all_o agree_v let_v we_o walk_v with_o one_o another_o hand_n in_o hand_n hearty_o and_o cheerful_o towards_o heaven_n 17._o we_o know_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o error_n some_o in_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o other_o in_o exterior_a action_n and_o practice_n of_o
