passage_n between_o the_o 51_o and_o 61_o verse_n and_o the_o more_o i_o consider_v they_o the_o more_o favourable_o they_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o look_v upon_o that_o opinion_n that_o the_o very_a flesh_n of_o christ_n be_v eat_v in_o the_o sacrament_n i_o know_v not_o what_o to_o say_v to_o this_o that_o though_o the_o jew_n understand_v christ_n word_n of_o eat_v his_o very_a flesh_n and_o he_o see_v plain_o enough_o that_o they_o do_v so_o yet_o he_o go_v on_o in_o the_o same_o strain_n of_o expression_n very_o very_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o i_o know_v you_o tell_v i_o that_o these_o passage_n be_v not_o to_o be_v interpret_v of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n in_o they_o of_o any_o outward_a and_o visible_a sign_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o a_o sacrament_n but_o i_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o church_n always_o think_v these_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o beside_o though_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n of_o a_o sacrament_n yet_o if_o christ_n word_n enforce_v this_o that_o the_o natural_a substance_n of_o his_o flesh_n must_v be_v proper_o eat_v by_o we_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o it_o must_v be_v thus_o eat_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n unless_o we_o can_v tell_v how_o or_o where_o else_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o see_v such_o a_o paraphrase_n upon_o this_o chapter_n as_o you_o speak_v of_o which_o will_v help_v to_o make_v all_o appear_v plain_a and_o it_o be_v well_o if_o other_o may_v see_v it_o too_o and_o thereby_o see_v this_o at_o least_o that_o you_o be_v so_o well_o satisfy_v with_o your_o own_o reason_n that_o you_o be_v not_o afraid_a to_o let_v those_o judge_n of_o they_o that_o be_v otherwise_o persuade_v i_o be_o etc._n etc._n the_o preface_n sir_n you_o be_v desire_v to_o read_v the_o 6_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n gospel_n every_o day_n and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o that_o part_n of_o it_o between_o v._o 51_o and_o v._o 61_o which_o seem_v to_o require_v eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o proper_a sense_n and_o here_o i_o make_v no_o question_n your_o thought_n be_v close_o engage_v but_o perhaps_o you_o have_v not_o apply_v that_o attention_n to_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chapter_n which_o you_o give_v to_o that_o part_n where_o the_o difficulty_n lie_v and_o then_o no_o wonder_n that_o the_o difficulty_n still_o remain_v for_o i_o beg_v leave_n to_o put_v you_o in_o mind_n once_o more_o that_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o those_o difficult_a passage_n as_o you_o count_v they_o be_v to_o be_v gain_v by_o observe_v their_o connexion_n with_o all_o the_o rest_n and_o therefore_o to_o that_o request_n that_o you_o will_v often_o read_v the_o 6_o chapter_n of_o st._n john_n which_o i_o acknowledge_v to_o be_v a_o reasonable_a request_n i_o must_v add_v another_o as_o reasonable_a as_o that_o which_o be_v that_o you_o will_v not_o only_o often_o read_v but_o likewise_o often_o consider_v the_o whole_a chapter_n and_o mind_n our_o saviour_n design_n in_o it_o that_o you_o will_v therefore_o observe_v what_o sort_n of_o people_n he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o and_o what_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o this_o conversation_n between_o he_o and_o they_o what_o be_v the_o fundamental_a cause_n of_o their_o prejudices_fw-la against_o he_o and_o with_o what_o argument_n and_o application_n he_o labour_v to_o remove_v those_o prejudices_fw-la for_o you_o will_v then_o find_v that_o they_o be_v man_n who_o belly_n be_v their_o god_n and_o who_o mind_v earthly_a thing_n that_o they_o follow_v christ_n for_o the_o loaf_n that_o he_o disappoint_v their_o hope_n that_o they_o be_v angry_a at_o it_o and_o alter_v their_o opinion_n of_o he_o upon_o it_o that_o their_o earthly-mindedness_a be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o now_o like_v he_o not_o but_o set_v themselves_o to_o cavil_v at_o all_o his_o say_n that_o to_o take_v they_o off_o from_o the_o care_n and_o pleasure_n of_o this_o present_a life_n he_o lay_v before_o they_o better_o and_o great_a thing_n the_o mean_n and_o hope_n of_o everlasting_a life_n final_o that_o he_o call_v the_o mean_n and_o cause_n of_o better_v our_o mind_n and_o bring_v we_o to_o everlasting_a life_n meat_n and_o drink_n and_o our_o believe_v and_o obey_v his_o doctrine_n eat_v and_o drink_v and_o then_o if_o i_o be_o not_o deceive_v you_o will_v easy_o acknowledge_v that_o in_o particular_a he_o call_v the_o belief_n of_o his_o death_n and_o passion_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o save_a fruit_n of_o that_o faith_n eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o reason_n to_o imagine_v that_o his_o flesh_n shall_v be_v eat_v and_o his_o blood_n drink_v in_o the_o proper_a and_o corporeal_a sense_n than_o that_o he_o shall_v make_v himself_o bread_n to_o be_v eat_v by_o we_o as_o we_o use_v to_o eat_v bread_n but_o that_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n to_o understand_v throughout_o by_o that_o eat_n and_o drink_v which_o he_o require_v spiritual_a action_n only_o which_o the_o whole_a strain_n of_o his_o discourse_n show_v that_o he_o oppose_v to_o that_o corporeal_a feed_n which_o they_o be_v so_o inordinate_o solicitous_a for_o i_o must_v for_o the_o same_o reason_n desire_v you_o to_o mind_v those_o plain_a intimation_n scatter_v here_o and_o there_o in_o our_o lord_n discourse_n by_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a what_o he_o mean_v by_o eat_v and_o drink_v he_o say_v v._o 29._o this_o be_v the_o 〈◊〉_d the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d work_n of_o god_n that_o you_o believe_v

40._o this_o i_o say_v be_v fit_a to_o be_v mind_v for_o when_o not_o only_o the_o occasion_n he_o have_v to_o use_v these_o term_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v which_o be_v their_o follow_v he_o for_o their_o belly_n show_v these_o term_n to_o be_v allusive_a but_o as_o if_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o he_o likewise_o add_v now_o and_o then_o the_o plain_a and_o proper_a meaning_n of_o those_o allusion_n it_o must_v i_o think_v be_v a_o wilful_a mistake_n in_o he_o that_o attend_v to_o this_o to_o interpret_v those_o expression_n as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o allusive_a nor_o be_v this_o all_o for_o you_o may_v please_v to_o consider_v also_o that_o when_o our_o saviour_n find_v some_o of_o his_o disciple_n to_o understand_v he_o as_o the_o carnal_a jew_n do_v he_o think_v fit_a for_o more_o abundant_a satisfaction_n to_o explain_v his_o meaning_n once_o for_o all_o v._o 62_o 63._o as_o you_o will_v find_v by_o the_o ensue_a paraphrase_n and_o note_n as_o for_o our_o saviour_n repeat_v those_o expression_n at_o which_o the_o jew_n have_v already_o take_v offence_n you_o may_v consider_v that_o v._o 51._o he_o add_v that_o expression_n of_o drink_v his_o blood_n to_o that_o of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n which_o be_v a_o more_o plain_a intimation_n of_o that_o violent_a death_n which_o he_o be_v to_o suffer_v for_o we_o than_o that_o former_a say_v of_o give_v his_o flesh_n for_o the_o life_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o though_o he_o keep_v still_o to_o the_o allusion_n yet_o he_o represent_v what_o kind_n of_o death_n he_o be_v to_o suffer_v more_o full_o than_o he_o have_v do_v before_o but_o perhaps_o you_o be_v at_o a_o loss_n why_o he_o continue_v to_o speak_v allusive_o at_o all_o when_o he_o find_v that_o he_o be_v so_o gross_o
mistunderstood_v and_o then_o i_o answer_v as_o i_o have_v do_v in_o the_o note_n upon_o that_o place_n that_o i_o be_o not_o oblige_v to_o say_v precise_o what_o our_o saviour_n reason_n be_v for_o that_o but_o beside_o what_o you_o will_v find_v there_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o sometime_o it_o well_o become_v a_o man_n of_o wisdom_n and_o authority_n when_o he_o find_v his_o word_n pervert_v by_o cavil_a people_n to_o repeat_v they_o again_o and_o thereby_o to_o speak_v his_o own_o assurance_n that_o they_o do_v not_o drop_v unadvised_o from_o he_o and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o his_o own_o but_o his_o hearer_n fault_n that_o he_o be_v misunderstand_v and_o this_o be_v the_o more_o reasonable_a to_o be_v say_v in_o the_o present_a case_n if_o the_o jew_n wilful_o pervert_v our_o saviour_n word_n to_o that_o absurd_a sense_n of_o eat_v his_o flesh_n with_o their_o tooth_n as_o it_o be_v probable_o they_o do_v and_o that_o because_o his_o expression_n be_v plain_o allusive_a and_o because_o also_o the_o allusion_n be_v now_o and_o then_o explain_v as_o i_o show_v before_o what_o inconvenience_n be_v it_o therefore_o to_o suppose_v that_o our_o lord_n perceive_v that_o his_o divine_a discourse_n and_o exhortation_n have_v but_o harden_v they_o in_o a_o spirit_n of_o contradiction_n do_v not_o think_v himself_o bind_v to_o use_v present_o the_o utmost_a plainness_n of_o word_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o man_n to_o who_o he_o have_v speak_v plain_o enough_o already_o if_o any_o good_a be_v to_o be_v do_v upon_o they_o but_o for_o further_a satisfaction_n in_o this_o matter_n i_o refer_v you_o once_o more_o to_o the_o paraphrase_n and_o note_n which_o be_v already_o finish_v and_o where_o some_o little_a light_n be_v give_v to_o those_o passage_n which_o may_v seem_v obscure_a enough_o i_o hope_v to_o lead_v you_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n of_o suspect_v those_o word_n of_o our_o saviour_n v._o 51_o etc._n etc._n to_o enforce_v that_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o flesh_n must_v be_v eat_v by_o we_o either_o in_o or_o out_o of_o the_o sacrament_n it_o seem_v i_o tell_v you_o that_o these_o passage_n be_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o sacrament_n i_o shall_v have_v add_v that_o because_o they_o signify_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v signify_v in_o the_o sacrament_n that_o they_o may_v be_v very_o apt_o apply_v to_o the_o sacrament_n especial_o in_o exhortation_n to_o devotion_n nay_o and_o that_o there_o be_v some_o case_n in_o which_o a_o man_n may_v argue_v from_o the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o some_o question_n to_o which_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o give_v equal_a light_n which_o may_v very_o well_o be_v and_o yet_o it_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n follow_v that_o these_o word_n be_v primary_o to_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o this_o opinion_n i_o can_v deliver_v up_o mere_o because_o you_o have_v hear_v that_o the_o church_n always_o hold_v the_o contrary_n no_o man_n i_o believe_v have_v a_o great_a regard_n to_o the_o constant_a and_o universal_a tradition_n of_o the_o church_n than_o myself_o but_o then_o i_o do_v not_o think_v myself_o bind_v to_o
