force_n too_o work_v some_o secret_a thing_n effectual_o for_o that_o which_o i_o have_v say_v before_o now_o i_o say_v again_o that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o use_n of_o those_o word_n then_o to_o declare_v his_o mind_n that_o speak_v but_o if_o thou_o call_v they_o work_v work_n whereby_o be_v declare_v both_o what_o be_v do_v of_o the_o pastor_n and_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v do_v of_o the_o flock_n and_o also_o what_o god_n himself_o do_v than_o i_o will_v say_v that_o they_o be_v all_o work_v word_n for_o those_o word_n he_o take_v he_o break_v and_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n show_v what_o pastor_n ought_v to_o do_v again_o those_o word_n take_v you_o eat_v you_o drink_v you_o show_v what_o the_o flock_n ought_v todoe_a for_o it_o follow_v do_v you_o this_o final_o those_o word_n this_o be_v my_o body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o you_o and_o this_o be_v my_o blood_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n which_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o signify_v what_o himself_o woork_v and_o perfourmethin_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o hearer_n in_o this_o action_n by_o his_o own_o power_n alone_o for_o neither_o be_v these_o thing_n rehearse_v in_o that_o action_n of_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n historical_o but_o that_o all_o may_v understand_v that_o then_o these_o thing_n be_v do_v which_o our_o lord_n command_v to_o be_v do_v 190._o question_n will_v thou_o therefore_o that_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o lord_n be_v plain_o rehearse_v answer_n yea_o not_o only_o plain_o but_o in_o that_o tongue_n also_o which_o may_v be_v understand_v of_o the_o hearer_n aswell_o add_v the_o exposition_n thereof_o as_o also_o exhortation_n that_o the_o minister_n be_v no_o let_n but_o that_o every_o man_n may_v perceive_v that_o which_o be_v do_v there_o himself_o for_o why_o be_v all_o those_o thing_n say_v unless_o it_o be_v that_o they_o may_v be_v understand_v of_o all_o the_o comer_n unto_o it_o and_o why_o must_v they_o be_v understand_v unless_o be_v understand_v they_o may_v be_v believe_v for_o this_o cause_n the_o apostle_n require_v that_o every_o one_o examine_v himself_o 191._o question_n but_o in_o what_o thing_n consist_v this_o same_o prove_v of_o a_o man_n self_n answer_n first_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o christian_a doctrine_n &_o especial_o of_o this_o mystery_n than_o the_o full_a persuasion_n of_o faith_n three_o to_o be_v short_a in_o true_a repentance_n 192._o question_n but_o who_o have_v these_o thing_n answer_v whosoever_o be_v true_o a_o christian_n forasmuch_o as_o these_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o adoption_n but_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o have_v these_o thing_n true_o another_o too_o have_v they_o in_o every_o thing_n perfect_a yea_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v perfect_a in_o we_o we_o shall_v neither_o need_v the_o word_n nor_o the_o sacrament_n see_v that_o we_o use_v they_o too_o the_o end_n that_o they_o be_v begin_v in_o we_o may_v be_v daily_a increase_v 193._o question_n i_o have_v hear_v what_o thou_o have_v say_v aught_o to_o be_v do_v aswell_o of_o the_o minister_n himself_o as_o of_o those_o which_o come_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n i_o ask_v thou_o therefore_o see_v that_o the_o formal_a cause_n itself_o of_o the_o sacrament_n depend_v of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o lord_n if_o any_o fault_n be_v in_o they_o whether_o for_o that_o cause_n the_o make_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v hinder_v let_v we_o see_v this_o therefore_o by_o part_n the_o benediction_n be_v principal_o put_v in_o the_o faithful_a rehearsal_n of_o the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n &_o as_o i_o may_v say_v in_o a_o certain_a apply_v of_o the_o same_o unto_o the_o sign_n moreover_o in_o the_o exposition_n thereof_o add_v exhortation_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n whereby_o every_o one_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o the_o understanding_n and_o lawful_a use_n of_o these_o mystery_n therefore_o the_o overpass_a or_o rather_o pervert_v of_o this_o institution_n do_v so_o corrupt_a the_o act_n that_o it_o neither_o can_v nor_o aught_o to_o be_v deem_v the_o lord_n supper_n but_o other_o thing_n not_o do_v so_o right_o no_o not_o if_o there_o be_v a_o false_a exposition_n use_v do_v not_o yet_o corrupt_a the_o action_n as_o which_o whole_o depend_v upon_o the_o will_n and_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n 194._o question_n but_o what_o think_v thou_o now_o of_o the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n answer_n i_o think_v that_o the_o overpass_v of_o that_o do_v not_o corrupt_v the_o act_n itself_o because_o it_o pertain_v not_o too_o the_o very_a make_n of_o the_o sacrament_n but_o only_o belong_v too_o the_o true_a and_o altogether_o lawful_a use_n thereof_o as_o a_o spot_n in_o a_o fair_a face_n do_v indeed_o hurt_v the_o beauty_n but_o yet_o notwithstanding_o it_o do_v not_o utter_o abolish_v the_o form_n itself_o 195._o question_n and_o what_o think_v thou_o of_o the_o geve_v of_o the_o sacrament_n answer_n sure_o that_o the_o overpass_v of_o the_o sacrament_n itself_o do_v make_v that_o that_o which_o be_v a_o sacrament_n do_v cease_v too_o have_v the_o reason_n of_o a_o sacrament_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o sacrament_n be_v institute_v to_o be_v use_v like_a as_o wax_v seal_v with_o a_o common_a seal_n do_v differ_v very_o much_o from_o private_a wax_n and_o not_o seal_v but_o unless_o it_o be_v apply_v unto_o a_o instrument_n it_o be_v account_v as_o private_a wax_n 196._o question_n what_o think_v thou_o of_o take_v eat_v and_o drink_v answer_n even_o the_o very_a same_o 197._o question_n but_o what_o if_o there_o be_v any_o fault_n in_o the_o person_n of_o he_o that_o make_v the_o sacrament_n answer_n sure_o this_o that_o if_o he_o be_v a_o mere_a private_a person_n the_o whole_a action_n be_v in_o vain_a as_o we_o have_v say_v in_o baptism_n but_o if_o he_o sit_v in_o the_o chair_n of_o the_o ministry_n albeit_o he_o be_v unlawful_o call_v if_o he_o keep_v the_o institution_n of_o the_o lord_n we_o must_v think_v otherwise_o as_o before_o we_o have_v answer_v concern_v baptism_n for_o the_o reason_n be_v one_o and_o the_o like_a of_o both_o in_o this_o behalf_n question_n what_o if_o he_o teach_v false_o or_o overflowe_v with_o vice_n or_o think_v or_o believe_v nothing_o less_o than_o that_o he_o do_v be_v it_o therefore_o no_o sacrament_n answer_n no_o not_o so_o whatsoever_o the_o sophister_n babble_n of_o the_o intention_n as_o they_o speak_v of_o he_o that_o consecrate_v for_o the_o make_n and_o perfect_v of_o the_o sacrament_n depend_v whole_o upon_o the_o institution_n of_o god_n by_o whatsoever_o minister_n he_o do_v it_o 198._o question_n do_v thou_o think_v the_o like_a of_o their_o fault_n or_o of_o any_o unwoorthinesse_n of_o those_o which_o do_v come_v unto_o the_o lord_n table_n answer_n yea_o altogether_o like_a and_o by_o these_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o understande_v what_o corruption_n have_v be_v bring_v into_o the_o church_n of_o god_n substitute_v in_o the_o place_n of_o the_o true_a blessing_n a_o magical_a mumble_n in_o the_o place_n of_o geve_v and_o receive_v a_o oblation_n for_o the_o quick_a and_o the_o dead_a break_v of_o bread_n be_v altogether_o take_v away_o and_o geve_v of_o thanks_n change_v into_o that_o same_o horrible_a carri_v about_o and_o woorship_v of_o a_o most_o profane_a piece_n of_o bread_n whereof_o we_o will_v speak_v in_o their_o proper_a place_n 199._o question_n therefore_o unworthy_a minister_n do_v also_o minister_v the_o whole_a sacrament_n answer_n i_o grant_v it_o question_n therefore_o they_o also_o that_o come_v unwoorthy_o do_v receyve_v the_o whole_a sacrament_n see_v they_o receive_v that_o that_o be_v minister_v answer_n i_o have_v oftentimes_o great_o marvel_v at_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o error_n in_o this_o plain_a sophistical_a conclusion_n but_o one_o error_n have_v bring_v forth_o a_o other_o for_o this_o be_v grant_v that_o both_o two_o that_o be_v to_o say_v aswell_o the_o element_n as_o the_o thing_n signify_v that_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v give_v with_o his_o gift_n to_o the_o body_n and_o too_o all_o they_o have_v conclude_v that_o he_o that_o receive_v the_o element_n receive_v also_o the_o thing_n but_o this_o ground_n of_o they_o be_v most_o false_a for_o neither_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o sacrament_n that_o be_v to_o say_v christ_n himself_o be_v offer_v to_o the_o hand_n and_o to_o the_o mouth_n but_o to_o the_o mind_n and_o faith_n to_o wit_n too_o be_v lay_v hold_n upon_o spiritual_o as_o the_o bodily_a sign_n do_v witness_n to_o the_o outward_a sense_n question_n what_o then_o do_v thou_o determine_v concern_v this_o matter_n answer_n forsooth_o that_o the_o element_n be_v receive_v of_o all_o but_o the_o thing_n signify_v only_o of_o the_o faithful_a albeit_o that_o both_o

some_o will_v seem_v so_o altogether_o of_o the_o spirit_n that_o they_o despise_v all_o outward_a thing_n as_o gross_a other_o again_o believe_v nothing_o in_o a_o manner_n unless_o they_o may_v feel_v &_o handle_v it_o with_o their_o hand_n but_o they_o that_o will_v hear_v god_n first_o speak_v by_o his_o prophet_n &_o then_o by_o his_o apostle_n shall_v go_v to_o neither_o side_n but_o hereof_o we_o shall_v see_v more_o hereafter_o that_o all_o thing_n may_v be_v handle_v in_o their_o fit_a place_n in_o few_o word_n therefore_o thus_o i_o answer_v thou_o although_o god_n teach_v we_o spiritual_a &_o everlasting_a thing_n inward_o by_o his_o spirit_n notwithstanding_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v set_v this_o law_n unto_o himself_o to_o teach_v we_o the_o same_o by_o the_o sense_n which_o be_v give_v we_o unless_o it_o be_v when_o he_o will_v work_v any_o thing_n extraordinary_o in_o his_o child_n now_o there_o be_v five_o sense_n as_o it_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o mind_n too_o wit_n see_v hear_v taste_v smell_a &_o feeling_n of_o these_o god_n have_v make_v special_a choice_n of_o two_o too_o wit_n see_v and_o hear_v of_o which_o i_o will_v glad_o learn_v of_o thou_o whether_o thou_o think_v to_o excel_v the_o rest_n question_n i_o think_v seeing_z who_o place_n above_o the_o rest_n seem_v to_o be_v unspeakable_a answer_n thou_o be_v great_o deceive_v for_o albeit_o the_o sight_n seem_v by_o kind_a as_o it_o be_v too_o draw_v near_a the_o very_a nature_n of_o the_o mind_n itself_o aswell_o for_o the_o swiftness_n of_o the_o eye_n as_o for_o their_o sharpness_n in_o behold_v thing_n yet_o notwithstanding_o forasmuch_o as_o thou_o can_v see_v nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v and_o as_o a_o man_n will_v say_v sightable_a &_o in_o those_o thing_n themselves_o which_o be_v see_v the_o most_o notable_a thing_n can_v be_v see_v but_o in_o mind_n and_o there_o be_v more_o thing_n infinite_o which_o can_v be_v behold_v then_o which_o may_v be_v see_v with_o the_o eye_n &_o to_o be_v short_a see_v whatsoever_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o mind_n may_v by_o the_o sound_n of_o word_n for_o sound_n be_v appoint_v to_o teach_v the_o mind_n by_o the_o ear_n after_o some_o sort_n be_v express_v it_o follow_v that_o hear_n by_o infinite_a odds_n be_v a_o more_o profitable_a instrument_n then_o see_v for_o the_o know_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v conceive_v in_o the_o mind_n question_n i_o come_v that_o i_o may_v hear_v a_o divine_a &_o not_o a_o natural_a philosopher_n answer_n when_o thou_o know_v to_o what_o end_n these_o word_n tend_v thou_o shall_v well_o understand_v the_o i_o do_v not_o any_o whit_n at_o all_o decline_n from_o the_o scope_n and_o end_n of_o a_o divine_a and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o wicked_a thing_n for_o they_o that_o speak_v of_o divine_a thing_n too_o touch_v any_o thing_n of_o natural_a philosophy_n than_o then_o thou_o must_v of_o necessity_n blot_n out_o in_o a_o manner_n all_o the_o word_n of_o god._n deny_v thou_o therefore_o that_o there_o be_v great_a use_n of_o the_o ear_n they_o of_o the_o eye_n for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n question_n no_o not_o so_o very_o see_v we_o learn_v every_o thing_n by_o hear_v and_o only_o behold_v thing_n that_o be_v sightable_a or_o to_o be_v see_v neither_o be_v we_o cunning_a in_o they_o unless_o we_o be_v by_o hear_v teach_v of_o other_o both_o what_o and_o what_o manner_n of_o thing_n they_o be_v but_o whereto_o tend_v these_o thing_n answer_n that_o thou_o shall_v know_v that_o when_o god_n appoint_v to_o teach_v man_n concern_v that_o same_o secret_a will_n of_o his_o in_o the_o knowledge_n whereof_o consist_v all_o our_o salvation_n he_o choose_v out_o from_o amongst_o all_o the_o other_o sense_n that_o of_o hear_v as_o most_o fit_n for_o that_o purpose_n by_o which_o faith_n come_v and_o therefore_o 10._o rom._n 10._o righteousness_n and_o life_n as_o the_o apostle_n teach_v and_o she_o of_o be_v that_o same_o authority_n and_o worthiness_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n so_o oftentimes_o witness_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n question_n but_o in_o vain_a be_v it_o utter_v to_o they_o that_o be_v deaf_a and_o thou_o have_v teach_v in_o thy_o former_a treatise_n that_o we_o be_v altogether_o by_o nature_n unapt_a to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n answer_n now_o true_o any_o man_n may_v very_o well_o hear_v that_o be_v endue_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o hear_v and_o also_o may_v understand_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o thing_n he_o have_v hear_v neither_o be_v he_o devoid_a of_o reason_n but_o in_o good_a earnest_n to_o agree_v and_o consent_n to_o these_o thing_n so_o hear_v and_o understand_v as_o right_a and_o true_a no_o man_n can_v do_v it_o but_o by_o the_o peculiar_a grace_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o notwithstanding_o be_v give_v to_o many_o reprobate_n for_o their_o far_a judgement_n to_o conclude_v for_o a_o man_n to_o apply_v the_o promise_n of_o salvation_n in_o christ_n particular_o to_o himself_o which_o be_v the_o very_a property_n of_o faith_n this_o be_v only_o give_v to_o the_o elect_a which_o gift_n we_o call_v the_o regenerate_a

our_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v apply_v through_o faith_n unto_o ourselves_o those_o thing_n understand_v with_o our_o ear_n which_o flesh_n and_o blood_n teach_v not_o 5._o question_n i_o see_v not_o yet_o how_o these_o thing_n shall_v belong_v unto_o the_o sacrament_n answer_v yea_o but_o i_o have_v say_v before_o that_o god_n to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v certify_v we_o of_o his_o good_a will_n in_o save_v we_o have_v also_o choose_v the_o sense_n of_o see_v which_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n question_v but_o see_v these_o same_o everlasting_a and_o heavenly_a

and_o christ_n himself_o can_v now_o be_v see_v by_o any_o carnal_a eye_n answer_n thou_o say_v very_o true_a but_o god_n have_v find_v out_o a_o way_n whereby_o he_o may_v in_o a_o manner_n set_v these_o thing_n before_o our_o eye_n yea_o which_o be_v of_o themselves_o invisible_a and_o be_v for_o the_o great_a part_n as_o i_o may_v say_v not_o to_o be_v understand_v now_o that_o thou_o may_v
