prayer_n which_o do_v they_o render_v thanks_n to_o god_n for_o that_o he_o have_v bring_v and_o establish_v they_o in_o a_o country_n which_o abound_v with_o all_o prosperity_n and_o plenty_n of_o

unleavened_a bread_n which_o god_n have_v appoint_v and_o institute_v for_o easter_n be_v a_o true_a symbol_n and_o figure_n of_o the_o bread_n of_o misery_n and_o affliction_n which_o the_o israelite_n have_v eat_v during_o their_o captivity_n in_o egypt_n now_o christ_n jesus_n who_o will_v not_o permit_v or_o suffer_v that_o jewish_a ceremony_n shall_v any_o long_o remain_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n instead_o of_o the_o passeover_n or_o feast_n of_o easter_n place_v and_o institute_v his_o bless_a supper_n as_o he_o have_v former_o appoint_v and_o introduce_v baptism_n instead_o of_o circumcision_n leave_v in_o all_o christian_a church_n none_o but_o these_o two_o figure_n and_o sacrament_n in_o place_n and_o steed_n of_o all_o that_o great_a multitude_n which_o be_v former_o under_o the_o old_a law_n and_o according_a as_o the_o service_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v spiritual_a it_o be_v also_o convenient_a and_o fit_a those_o few_o ceremony_n which_o christ_n institute_v be_v likewise_o simple_a and_o easy_a as_o depend_v and_o have_v relation_n to_o the_o nature_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o evangelical_n law_n and_o service_n which_o be_v whole_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a whereunto_o these_o ceremony_n be_v tie_v and_o conjoin_v in_o which_o regard_n jesus_n christ_n in_o his_o supper_n take_v no_o figure_n of_o any_o former_o prepare_v meat_n procure_v with_o cost_n or_o care_n or_o which_o can_v not_o be_v hourly_o provide_v and_o have_v as_o be_v the_o paschall_n lamb_n but_o take_v simple_o bread_n and_o wine_n as_o in_o the_o same_o sort_n and_o manner_n that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n instead_o of_o the_o painful_a and_o grievous_a circumcision_n he_o institute_v the_o easy_a and_o simple_a aspersion_n of_o water_n now_o for_o that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v substitute_v his_o bless_a supper_n instead_o of_o the_o feast_n of_o easter_n it_o follow_v of_o necessity_n that_o there_o must_v be_v some_o resemblance_n and_o conformity_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n to_o the_o feast_n of_o easter_n and_o of_o the_o action_n of_o christian_n in_o receive_v the_o same_o to_o the_o action_n of_o the_o jew_n in_o eat_v of_o their_o paschall_n lamb_n but_o as_o this_o great_a feast_n and_o passeover_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v a_o sacrament_n and_o religious_a mystery_n so_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v yet_o more_o to_o feed_v the_o mind_n then_o the_o body_n wherefore_o we_o must_v observe_v and_o remember_v that_o beside_o yea_o above_o the_o eat_n of_o the_o mouth_n there_o be_v the_o eat_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o be_v a_o holy_a and_o religious_a meditation_n whereby_o their_o soul_n shall_v be_v refresh_v and_o comfort_v according_a to_o the_o quality_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o

which_o their_o body_n do_v eat_v their_o soul_n likewise_o have_v their_o spiritual_a meat_n and_o food_n and_o taste_v how_o good_a and_o gracious_a god_n be_v to_o they_o by_o give_v they_o their_o

which_o be_v that_o of_o bread_n and_o the_o other_o of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v the_o meditation_n of_o the_o great_a goodness_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n whereby_o jesus_n christ_n have_v be_v crucify_v to_o death_n for_o we_o have_v victorious_o and_o glorious_o deliver_v we_o from_o all_o our_o misery_n now_o let_v we_o here_o remark_n &_o observe_v the_o excellent_a sympathy_n &_o

bless_a supper_n to_o relish_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n the_o jew_n in_o their_o passeover_n consider_v that_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o a_o lamb_n their_o forefather_n be_v deliver_v from_o the_o

of_o the_o bread_n of_o the_o eucharist_n we_o christian_n do_v consider_v that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o of_o a_o immaculate_a lamb_n without_o spot_n or_o blemish_n have_v be_v offer_v up_o to_o god_n in_o sacrifice_n and_o that_o by_o this_o ransom_n we_o be_v deliver_v deliver_v from_o the_o destroy_a sword_n of_o the_o angel_n to_o wit_n from_o all_o the_o power_n and_o malice_n of_o satan_n as_o the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o corinthian_n 5.7_o 1_o cor._n 5.7_o that_o christ_n our_o paschall_n lamb_n have_v be_v sacrifice_v up_o for_o us._n as_o then_o the_o jew_n consider_v the_o lamb_n meditate_a and_o celebrate_v the_o goodness_n of_o god_n for_o give_v deliverance_n to_o their_o forefather_n by_o the_o ransom_n of_o a_o lamb_n so_o we_o christian_n shall_v feast_v our_o mind_n and_o refresh_v our_o heart_n with_o the_o meditation_n of_o god_n singular_a goodness_n towards_o we_o which_o be_v infinite_o great_a and_o more_o admirable_a in_o that_o he_o have_v deliver_v up_o his_o own_o yea_o his_o only_a son_n to_o death_n for_o the_o ransom_n of_o we_o poor_a and_o wretched_a sinner_n wherein_o appear_v a_o dilection_n and_o love_n which_o surpass_v all_o understanding_n and_o wherein_o faithful_a servant_n of_o the_o lord_n you_o may_v apparent_o see_v the_o excellency_n of_o your_o advantage_n and_o benefit_n above_o those_o of_o the_o ancient_a testament_n that_o which_o they_o meditate_a in_o their_o passeover_n be_v a_o temporal_a deliverance_n that_o which_o you_o meditate_v in_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o deliverance_n both_o spiritual_a and_o eternal_a that_o which_o they_o consider_v for_o a_o ransom_n and_o deliverance_n from_o the_o angel_n sword_n of_o persecution_n and_o pestilence_n be_v a_o simple_a terrestrial_a and_o carnal_a lamb_n but_o that_o which_o you_o meditate_v on_o for_o your_o ransom_n in_o this_o sacred_a supper_n be_v the_o proper_a body_n of_o god_n only_a son_n crucify_v and_o slayen_v for_o your_o sin_n the_o joy_n and_o refresh_v which_o the_o israelite_n conceive_v in_o their_o heart_n and_o mind_n by_o their_o meditation_n be_v their_o delight_n and_o

into_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a canaan_n o_o therefore_o if_o those_o of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n will_v consider_v how_o great_a how_o excellent_a &_o how_o inexpressable_a this_o feed_n and_o refresh_v of_o our_o soul_n be_v by_o this_o meditation_n they_o will_v not_o then_o say_v that_o we_o return_v empty_a from_o this_o bless_a sacrament_n it_o be_v then_o the_o church_n of_o

therefore_o it_o be_v that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o concern_v the_o ancient_a israelite_n that_o what_o content_n soever_o they_o receive_v by_o their_o passeover_n there_o yet_o remain_v in_o their_o memory_n a_o degree_n of_o slavery_n and_o servitude_n 1.15_o rom._n 1.15_o whereof_o they_o be_v still_o afraid_a and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o be_v that_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n still_o echo_v and_o resound_v aloud_o in_o their_o ear_n and_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o remission_n and_o pardon_n for_o their_o sin_n be_v still_o conceal_v and_o obscure_v from_o they_o and_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n crucify_v for_o the_o
transgression_n of_o man_n be_v hide_v and_o overclouded_n from_o they_o by_o the_o veil_n of_o ceremony_n whereas_o here_o o_o you_o faithful_a christian_n jesus_n christ_n call_v you_o to_o the_o public_a meditation_n and_o contemplation_n of_o his_o death_n and_o of_o the_o pardon_n and_o remission_n of_o your_o sin_n to_o refresh_v and_o fill_v your_o soul_n with_o peace_n and_o felicity_n and_o for_o which_o cause_n and_o reason_n he_o say_v in_o saint_n john_n 6.35_o joh._n 6.35_o whosoever_o come_v unto_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v hungry_a and_o those_o who_o trust_v in_o i_o shall_v not_o be_v dry_a or_o thirsty_a and_o therefore_o jesus_n christ_n take_v bread_n say_v take_v eat_v and_o then_o he_o add_v thereunto_o this_o be_v my_o body_n so_o that_o which_o he_o come_v from_o take_v of_o and_o which_o he_o hold_v to_o wit_n bread_n he_o say_v it_o be_v his_o body_n a_o thing_n which_o he_o then_o speak_v most_o easy_o and_o clear_o for_o as_o there_o be_v not_o the_o small_a child_n among_o the_o jew_n but_o understand_v when_o the_o father_n of_o his_o family_n say_v take_v eat_v this_o be_v the_o bread_n of_o misery_n which_o our_o forefather_n do_v eat_v in_o

forefather_n have_v eat_v in_o egypt_n according_a as_o it_o be_v say_v in_o deutr._n 16.3_o deut._n 16.3_o under_o the_o law_n seven_o day_n thou_o shall_v eat_v unleavened_a bread_n which_o be_v

and_o commemoration_n of_o his_o body_n offer_v on_o the_o cross_n which_o again_o be_v clear_a and_o evident_a because_o they_o name_v the_o lamb_n which_o they_o do_v eat_v pasque_n a_o hebrew_n word_n which_o signify_v passeover_n and_o which_o every_o one_o well_o understand_v in_o that_o language_n where_o will_v thou_o say_v the_o apostle_n to_o jesus_n christ_n 26.17_o mat._n 26.17_o that_o we_o prepare_v for_o thou_o the_o passeover_n the_o lamb_n which_o they_o eat_v be_v so_o call_v because_o it_o be_v institute_v in_o memory_n and_o commemoration_n of_o the_o pass_v over_o of_o the_o destroy_a angel_n from_o above_o and_o beyond_o the_o israelite_n house_n and_o in_o this_o same_o sense_n they_o easy_o understand_v that_o the_o bread_n be_v call_v the_o body_n of_o

although_o this_o be_v sufficient_o clear_a and_o palpable_a of_o itself_o yet_o observe_v here_o the_o singular_a bounty_n goodness_n and_o wisdom_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o repel_v and_o prevent_v

i_o be_v there_o not_o here_o then_o just_a cause_n to_o admire_v and_o wonder_v that_o after_o all_o this_o that_o bread_n shall_v be_v understand_v by_o transubstantiation_n to_o be_v the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o far_o different_a and_o otherwise_o then_o by_o remembrance_n or_o commemoration_n from_o whence_o it_o necessary_o result_v and_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o church_n of_o

of_o jesus_n christ_n yet_o not_o by_o the_o truth_n or_o reality_n of_o the_o thing_n but_o by_o the_o signification_n of_o the_o mystery_n the_o other_o branch_n or_o point_n which_o result_v
