it_o take_v so_o large_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n always_o the_o word_n sacrament_n be_v very_o ambiguous_a in_o itself_o and_o there_o arise_v about_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o this_o word_n many_o controversy_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o cease_v nor_o will_v not_o cease_v while_o the_o world_n last_v whereas_o if_o they_o have_v keep_v the_o apostle_n word_n and_o call_v they_o as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o sign_n and_o seal_n all_o this_o digladiation_n strife_n and_o contention_n appear_o have_v not_o fall_v out_o but_o where_o man_n will_v be_v wise_a than_o god_n and_o give_v name_n to_o thing_n without_o warrant_n from_o god_n upon_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n which_o be_v but_o mere_a folly_n all_o this_o stir_n fall_v out_o well_o then_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o purpose_n the_o ancient_a divine_n take_v the_o word_n sacrament_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v in_o a_o fourfold_a manner_n sometime_o they_o take_v it_o for_o the_o whole_a action_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a ministry_n of_o the_o element_n sometime_o they_o take_v it_o not_o for_o the_o whole_a action_n but_o for_o the_o outward_a thing_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o action_n of_o baptism_n and_o of_o the_o supper_n as_o they_o take_v it_o for_o the_o water_n and_o sprinkle_n of_o it_o for_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n break_v distribute_v and_o eat_v thereof_o three_o again_o they_o take_v it_o not_o for_o the_o whole_a outward_a thing_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o action_n but_o only_o for_o the_o material_a and_o earthly_a thing_n the_o element_n as_o for_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o supper_n and_o water_n in_o baptism_n and_o after_o this_o sort_n say_v augustine_n the_o wicked_a eat_v the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n concern_v the_o sacrament_n only_o that_o be_v concern_v the_o element_n only_o last_o of_o all_o they_o take_v it_o not_o only_o for_o the_o element_n but_o for_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o element_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n irenaeus_n say_v that_o a_o sacrament_n stand_v of_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o earthly_a the_o other_o heavenly_a the_o ancient_a divine_n then_o take_v the_o word_n after_o these_o sort_n no_o question_n all_o these_o way_n they_o take_v it_o right_o but_o leave_v the_o ambiguity_n of_o the_o word_n i_o take_v the_o word_n sacrament_n as_o it_o be_v take_v and_o use_v this_o day_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o a_o holy_a sign_n &_o seal_n that_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o preach_v word_n of_o god_n to_o seal_v up_o &_o confirm_v the_o truth_n contain_v in_o the_o same_o word_n so_o that_o i_o call_v not_o the_o seal_n separate_v from_o the_o word_n a_o sacrament_n for_o as_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o seal_n but_o that_o which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o a_o evidence_n and_o if_o the_o seal_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o evidence_n it_o be_v not_o a_o seal_n but_o look_v what_o it_o be_v by_o nature_n it_o be_v no_o more_o so_o there_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n except_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o word_n but_o look_v what_o the_o sacrament_n be_v by_o nature_n it_o be_v no_o more_o be_v it_o a_o common_a piece_n of_o bread_n it_o remain_v common_a bread_n except_o it_o be_v join_v to_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o word_n therefore_o the_o word_n only_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n nor_o the_o element_n only_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n but_o the_o word_n and_o element_n coniunct_o must_v make_v a_o sacrament_n and_o so_o augustine_n say_v well_o let_v the_o word_n come_v to_o the_o element_n and_o so_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o sacrament_n so_o then_o the_o word_n must_v come_v to_o the_o element_n that_o be_v the_o word_n preach_v distinct_o and_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o open_v up_o must_v go_v before_o the_o hang_n to_o of_o the_o sacracrament_n and_o the_o sacrament_n as_o a_o seal_n must_v follow_v and_o so_o be_v receive_v according_o then_o i_o call_v a_o sacrament_n the_o word_n and_o seal_v coniunct_o the_o one_o hang_v to_o the_o other_o it_o be_v without_o all_o controversy_n and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n in_o it_o that_o all_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n now_o if_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o sign_n as_o the_o sign_n be_v in_o a_o relation_n in_o that_o category_n for_o so_o we_o must_v speak_v it_o so_o the_o sacrament_n must_v be_v place_v in_o that_o same_o categorie_n of_o relation_n now_o every_o relation_n again_o must_v stand_v of_o force_n betwixt_o two_o thing_n for_o one_o thing_n can_v be_v the_o correlative_a of_o itself_o but_o in_o a_o lawful_a relation_n of_o force_n there_o must_v be_v two_o thing_n which_o two_o have_v ever_o a_o mutual_a respect_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o therefore_o in_o every_o sacrament_n that_o have_v a_o relation_n there_o must_v be_v two_o thing_n which_o two_o have_v ever_o a_o mutual_a respect_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o take_v away_o one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n from_o the_o sacrament_n you_o lose_v the_o relation_n and_o lose_v the_o relation_n you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n confound_v any_o of_o these_o two_o with_o the_o other_o make_v either_o a_o confusion_n or_o permixtion_n of_o they_o you_o lose_v the_o relation_n and_o lose_v the_o relation_n you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n turn_v over_o the_o one_o into_o the_o other_o so_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o one_o start_n up_o and_o vanish_v in_o the_o other_o you_o lose_v the_o relation_n and_o so_o you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n then_o as_o in_o every_o sacrament_n there_o be_v a_o relation_n so_o to_o keep_v the_o relation_n you_o must_v ever_o keep_v two_o thing_n several_o in_o the_o sacrament_n now_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n and_o consideration_n of_o these_o two_o diverse_a thing_n which_o be_v relative_a to_o other_o sermon_n we_o shall_v keep_v this_o order_n by_o god_n grace_n first_o i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n next_o i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o thing_n signify_v three_o how_o they_o two_o be_v couple_v by_o what_o power_n and_o virtue_n they_o be_v conjoin_v and_o from_o whence_o this_o power_n and_o virtue_n flow_v four_o and_o last_o of_o all_o i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v whether_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o instrument_n give_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v or_o not_o whether_o they_o be_v give_v in_o one_o action_n or_o two_o whether_o they_o be_v offer_v to_o one_o instrument_n or_o two_o or_o if_o they_o be_v give_v after_o one_o manner_n or_o two_o to_o both_o the_o instrument_n mark_v these_o diversity_n the_o diverse_a manner_n of_o the_o receive_n the_o diversity_n of_o the_o instrument_n &_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v little_a difficulty_n in_o the_o sacrament_n sacrament_n now_o to_o begin_v at_o the_o sign_n see_v all_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n what_o call_v we_o the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n i_o call_v the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n whatsoever_o i_o perceive_v and_o take_v up_o by_o my_o outward_a sense_n by_o my_o eye_n especial_o now_o you_o see_v in_o this_o sacrament_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o thing_n subject_a to_o the_o outward_a sense_n and_o to_o the_o eye_n especial_o you_o see_v the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v subject_a to_o my_o eye_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v sign_n you_o see_v again_o that_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n whereby_o these_o element_n be_v distribute_v break_v &_o give_v be_v subject_a to_o my_o eye_n also_o then_o i_o must_v make_v two_o sort_n of_o sign_n one_o sort_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o we_o call_v they_o elemental_a another_o sort_n of_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n whereby_o these_o be_v distribute_v break_v and_o give_v and_o we_o call_v they_o ceremonial_a be_v not_o deceive_v with_o the_o word_n ceremony_n think_v not_o that_o i_o call_v the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n the_o eat_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o wine_n ceremony_n think_v not_o that_o they_o be_v vain_a as_o you_o use_v that_o word_n ceremony_n for_o a_o vain_a thing_n which_o have_v no_o grace_n nor_o profit_n follow_v after_o it_o no_o although_o i_o call_v they_o ceremony_n there_o be_v never_o a_o ceremony_n which_o christ_n institute_v in_o this_o supper_n but_o it_o be_v as_o essential_a as_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v and_o you_o can_v leave_v one_o jot_n of_o they_o except_o you_o pervert_v the_o whole_a institution_n for_o what_o ever_o christ_n command_v to_o be_v do_v what_o ever_o he_o speak_v or_o do_v in_o that_o whole_a action_n it_o be_v essential_a and_o must_v be_v do_v &_o you_o can_v leave_v one_o jot_n thereof_o but_o you_o will_v pervert_v the_o whole_a action_n sign_n

that_o i_o use_n be_v this_o see_v there_o be_v only_o one_o precept_n leave_v by_o our_o master_n in_o recommendation_n to_o be_v observe_v by_o we_o neighbour_n namely_o that_o every_o one_o of_o we_o shall_v love_v another_o therefore_o our_o wise_a master_n understand_v well_o that_o where_o love_n be_v there_o need_v no_o more_o law_n that_o the_o life_n of_o man_n by_o love_n only_o behoove_v to_o be_v most_o happy_a leave_v only_o the_o same_o in_o chief_a recommendation_n and_o take_v up_o the_o whole_a law_n and_o gospel_n in_o one_o word_n love._n and_o if_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v endue_v with_o love_n his_o life_n may_v be_v most_o happy_a and_o bless_a for_o there_o be_v nothing_o make_v this_o life_n happy_a but_o the_o resemblance_n and_o likelihood_n that_o we_o have_v with_o god_n the_o near_a we_o draw_v to_o god_n the_o more_o bless_a be_v our_o life_n for_o there_o can_v be_v so_o happy_a a_o life_n as_o the_o life_n of_o god_n in_o the_o first_o epist._n of_o john_n 4.8_o god_n be_v love_n therefore_o the_o more_o we_o be_v in_o love_n the_o more_o near_o we_o be_v to_o that_o happy_a life_n for_o we_o be_v in_o god_n and_o partaker_n of_o the_o life_n of_o god_n when_o i_o speak_v this_o you_o must_v not_o think_v that_o love_n in_o god_n and_o love_n in_o we_o be_v one_o thing_n for_o love_n be_v but_o a_o quality_n in_o we_o and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o quality_n in_o god_n there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n but_o that_o which_o be_v god_n so_o love_v in_o god_n be_v his_o own_o essence_n therefore_o the_o more_o that_o you_o grow_v in_o love_n the_o near_a you_o draw_v to_o god_n and_o to_o that_o happy_a and_o bless_a life_n for_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o profitable_a more_o agreeable_a &_o convenient_a unto_o nature_n then_o to_o love_n and_o above_o all_o thing_n to_o love_v god_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n and_o his_o angel_n be_v most_o happy_a and_o bless_a because_o they_o love_v all_o thing_n and_o desire_v ever_o to_o do_v good_a on_o the_o other_o side_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unhappy_a nothing_o more_o noisome_a more_o hurtful_a &_o that_o eat_v up_o nature_n more_o then_o to_o burn_v with_o envy_n and_o hatred_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v most_o miserable_a who_o torment_v themselves_o with_o continual_a malice_n and_o hatred_n burn_v with_o a_o vehement_a appetite_n to_o be_v noisome_a unto_o all_o creature_n so_o as_o the_o life_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v most_o unhappy_a because_o he_o be_v full_a of_o envy_n and_o malice_n so_o our_o life_n will_v be_v most_o happy_a if_o we_o be_v full_a of_o love_n i_o will_v no_o further_o speak_v of_o love_n only_o if_o you_o have_v love_n mark_v the_o effect_n of_o it_o set_v down_o 1._o cor._n 13.4.5.6.7_o verse_n which_o effect_n if_o you_o have_v not_o in_o some_o measure_n you_o have_v not_o true_a love_n i_o end_v here_o exhortation_n you_o see_v in_o what_o point_v every_o

he_o that_o lack_v knowledge_n can_v try_v himself_o a_o mad_a man_n can_v try_v himself_o a_o child_n can_v try_v himself_o therefore_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n all_o these_o thing_n be_v consider_v aright_o he_o that_o have_v faith_n and_o love_n in_o any_o kind_n of_o measure_n let_v he_o come_v to_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o all_o these_o

it_o be_v certain_a and_o out_o of_o all_o question_n that_o the_o latin_a divine_n who_o be_v most_o ancient_a do_v interpret_v the_o greek_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o the_o word_n
