of_o their_o house_n and_o so_o to_o feast_v upon_o it_o promise_v that_o when_o he_o see_v the_o blood_n he_o will_v pass_v over_o their_o house_n and_o not_o destroy_v their_o first-born_a in_o thankful_a remembrance_n whereof_o they_o yearly_o keep_v the_o like_a feast_n call_v therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v passover_n thus_o by_o the_o sin_n of_o adam_n we_o be_v all_o bring_v into_o

which_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n 29._o to_o redeem_v we_o by_o his_o precious_a blood_n as_o of_o a_o lamb_n without_o blemish_n and_o without_o spot_n 19_o so_o that_o christ_n

a_o more_o intimate_a communion_n and_o friendship_n with_o god_n through_o he_o who_o have_v make_v our_o peace_n this_o sacrament_n than_o be_v a_o sacred_a feast_n and_o that_o upon_o the_o

spiritual_o we_o eat_v his_o crucify_a body_n and_o drink_v his_o poured-out_a blood_n 2._o the_o great_a end_n of_o this_o feast_n be_v to_o keep_v up_o in_o the_o christian_a church_n a_o fresh_a and_o joyful_a remembrance_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o of_o all_o that_o he_o do_v and_o suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o we_o this_o do_v say_v he_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o it_o be_v his_o

to_o repent_v of_o and_o here_o we_o be_v to_o note_v some_o thing_n very_o needful_a to_o be_v observe_v 1._o that_o though_o we_o be_v to_o aim_v at_o the_o perfection_n of_o duty_n in_o all_o we_o
