unto_o we_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n that_o show_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n lively_a to_o we_o too_o that_o the_o word_n show_v forth_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n lively_a it_o

effectual_o to_o the_o galathian_o that_o he_o do_v as_o it_o be_v present_a christ_n crucify_v before_o their_o bodily_a eye_n he_o do_v so_o work_v by_o the_o operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n in_o

crucify_v if_o it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o word_n it_o be_v so_o in_o the_o sacrament_n if_o the_o word_n do_v so_o lively_o represent_v he_o the_o sacrament_n do_v it_o much_o more_o for_o the_o

my_o ear_n therefore_o if_o the_o word_n describe_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n lively_a then_o do_v the_o sacrament_n much_o more_o reason_n 3_o the_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o end_n of_o the_o institution_n what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n what_o purpose_n have_v our_o saviour_n when_o he_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n even_o this_o

not_o we_o must_v needs_o confess_v that_o this_o sacrament_n be_v as_o lively_a a_o memorial_n of_o his_o death_n as_o ever_o can_v be_v devise_v i_o may_v add_v other_o reason_n as_o namely_o concern_v the_o state_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o state_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n require_v that_o all_o thing_n shall_v be_v most_o clear_a and_o most_o plain_a and_o especial_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o that_o shall_v be_v most_o clear_o represent_v unto_o we_o zach._n 12.10_o i_o will_v pour_v forth_o my_o spirit_n upon_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o jerusalem_n and_o i_o will_v make_v they_o that_o they_o shall_v look_v upon_o i_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v that_o be_v behold_v i_o as_o it_o be_v with_o their_o bodily_a eye_n now_o the_o meaning_n be_v that_o he_o shall_v deal_v with_o they_o to_o this_o effect_n by_o his_o spirit_n but_o yet_o collateral_o it_o reach_v also_o to_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n for_o if_o he_o do_v deal_v with_o they_o so_o by_o his_o inward_a spirit_n than_o the_o outward_a mean_n must_v be_v answerable_a so_o then_o the_o reach_n of_o the_o place_n be_v to_o teach_v we_o that_o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n christ_n jesus_n shall_v be_v represent_v before_o our_o eye_n and_o this_o shall_v be_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o our_o heart_n but_o still_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n must_v be_v answerable_a hereunto_o and_o therefore_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n must_v represent_v christ_n jesus_n unto_o we_o as_o clear_o as_o if_o he_o be_v nail_v upon_o the_o cross_n before_o our_o eye_n use_v 1_o the_o use_v of_o the_o doctrine_n be_v these_o the_o first_o use_n be_v this_o first_o here_o be_v matter_n of_o instruction_n call_v upon_o we_o for_o many_o good_a duty_n that_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o doctrine_n shall_v raise_v we_o up_o to_o perform_v be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v such_o a_o lively_a representation_n such_o a_o fresh_a memorial_n of_o the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n then_o this_o shall_v teach_v we_o that_o our_o private_a and_o public_a preparation_n before_o
