in_o the_o latter_a we_o be_v make_v bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n as_o in_o ephes_n 5.30_o for_o we_o be_v member_n of_o his_o body_n of_o his_o his_o flesh_n and_o of_o

proceed_v upon_o a_o good_a and_o sure_a ground_n we_o must_v first_o see_v that_o this_o second_o communion_n be_v here_o intend_a by_o the_o apostle_n as_o well_o as_o the_o former_a for_o howsoever_o the_o word_n communion_n may_v be_v indifferent_o understand_v of_o each_o as_o well_o the_o communion_n which_o the_o faithful_a have_v among_o themselves_o as_o of_o that_o which_o they_o have_v with_o christ_n yet_o if_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o here_o so_o intend_v it_o wharsoever_o we_o shall_v speak_v of_o it_o though_o happy_o true_a and_o fit_a for_o the_o argument_n in_o hand_n yet_o it_o may_v just_o be_v distaste_v as_o not_o seasonable_a because_o it_o be_v not_o pertinent_a to_o this_o place_n but_o when_o we_o plain_o see_v that_o it_o be_v part_n of_o the_o

which_o shall_v be_v raise_v from_o it_o now_o that_o such_o be_v the_o entendment_n of_o the_o apostle_n it_o appear_v thus_o he_o say_v in_o verse_n 16._o the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o proceed_v and_o say_v verse_n 17._o for_o we_o that_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n because_o we_o all_o be_v partaker_n of_o one_o bread_n where_o you_o see_v it_o be_v a_o next_o to_o the_o former_a by_o way_n of_o reason_n now_o you_o know_v that_o the_o reason_n must_v be_v answerable_a in_o sense_n to_o the_o proposition_n that_o be_v thereby_o confirm_v therefore_o except_o we_o will_v make_v the_o apostle_n to_o speak_v absurd_o and_o without_o sense_n to_o set_v down_o the_o proposition_n of_o one_o thing_n and_o to_o render_v the_o reason_n of_o a_o other_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v grant_v that_o look_v what_o communion_n he_o speak_v of_o in_o the_o reason_n verse_n 17._o the_o

of_o in_o the_o 17_o but_o in_o verse_n 17_o he_o speak_v express_o and_o distinct_o of_o the_o second_o communion_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o first_o for_o when_o he_o say_v in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o verse_n 17._o we_o be_v all_o one_o bread_n there_o be_v our_o communion_n with_o christ_n and_o in_o the_o former_a part_n we_o that_o be_v many_o be_v one_o bread_n and_o one_o body_n there_o be_v the_o communion_n which_o we_o have_v among_o ourselves_o and_o mark_v the_o latter_a part_n contain_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o former_a and_o be_v render_v as_o a_o reason_n of_o it_o because_o we_o be_v all_o partaker_n of_o one_o bread_n show_v not_o only_a that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o communion_n among_o themselves_o in_o and_o by_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o also_o how_o it_o be_v effect_v namely_o because_o all_o partake_v of_o one_o christ_n that_o through_o the_o communion_n which_o every_o one_o have_v thereby_o in_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n they_o have_v also_o a_o communion_n among_o themselves_o and_o for_o further_a confirmation_n hereof_o he_o give_v instance_n in_o two_o case_n of_o like_a nature_n one_o in_o verse_n 18._o israel_n which_o be_v after_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o they_o which_o eat_v of_o the_o sacrifice_n partaker_n of_o the_o altar_n as_o who_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v so_o with_o those_o israelite_n that_o still_o observe_v the_o carnal_a rite_n as_o the_o apostle_n elsewhere_o call_v they_o that_o communicate_v together_o in_o their_o service_n and_o therefore_o so_o do_v you_o in_o you_o the_o other_o instance_n be_v in_o

violate_v of_o the_o practice_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o a_o manifest_a contradiction_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o communion_n for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v so_o term_v when_o there_o be_v no_o communicant_n how_o do_v the_o faithful_a here_o communicate_v one_o with_o another_o if_o there_o be_v any_o extraordinary_a worthiness_n in_o their_o person_n than_o indeed_o the_o beholder_n may_v

communicate_v with_o the_o sick_a our_o state_n injoine_v that_o there_o must_v be_v many_o of_o we_o and_o therefore_o not_o private_a in_o their_o sense_n as_o they_o understand_v it_o so_o that_o

a_o desire_n to_o receive_v and_o be_v fit_a for_o it_o the_o ancient_n have_v not_o stick_v to_o communicate_v with_o they_o in_o the_o private_a house_n but_o it_o be_v most_o wary_o observe_v for_o this_o be_v their_o usual_a custom_n when_o the_o communion_n be_v administer_v in_o the_o house_n of_o god_n in_o public_a then_o and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n the_o minister_n go_v and_o carry_v the_o communion_n private_o to_o the_o party_n absent_a and_o so_o it_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o communion_n and_o there_o be_v no_o question_n but_o the_o party_n sick_a be_v a_o member_n of_o the_o same_o congregation_n in_o god_n acceptance_n be_v a_o communicate_v of_o the_o same_o though_o absent_a and_o so_o both_o public_a and_o private_a be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o
