very_a action_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n right_o administer_v the_o bread_n be_v always_o a_o true_a sign_n of_o the_o lord_n body_n and_o the_o wine_n a_o true_a sign_n of_o the_o lord_n blood_n to_o whosoever_o they_o be_v offer_v or_o give_v themselves_o a_o bad_a conclusion_n justly_o revert_v and_o cast_v upon_o the_o adversary_n themselves_o now_o whereas_o some_o will_v thereupon_o gather_v and_o infer_v that_o all_o do_v receive_v the_o whole_a sacrament_n we_o can_v at_o no_o hand_n grant_v it_o for_o this_o consequence_n or_o reason_n be_v not_o of_o force_n god_n do_v offer_v it_o to_o all_o therefore_o all_o receive_v it_o but_o rather_o on_o the_o contrary_a side_n we_o gather_v and_o reason_n thus_o god_n do_v in_o the_o sacrament_n offer_v two_o thing_n and_o that_o indeed_o as_o very_o and_o trullie_o the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o but_o both_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v by_o mean_n and_o instrument_n altogether_o diverse_a and_o different_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o outward_a sign_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v bodily_a and_o the_o thing_n itself_o spiritual_o by_o faith_n therefore_o because_o every_o man_n bring_v his_o mouth_n unworthilie_o the_o reason_n why_o some_o receive_v worthy_o other_o some_o unworthilie_o all_o receive_v the_o outward_a sign_n some_o indeed_o worthy_o and_o othersome_a unwoorthilie_o but_o because_o the_o faithful_a &_o believer_n only_o bring_v the_o mouth_n of_o faith_n therefore_o the_o faith_n all_o only_o receive_v the_o matter_n itself_o &_o therefore_o also_o life_n everlasting_a and_o the_o unbeliever_n eat_v and_o drink_v judgement_n to_o themselves_o because_o they_o discern_v not_o that_o be_v to_o say_v 2d_o 1._o corinth_n 11_o 2d_o despise_v and_o reject_v the_o lord_n body_n offer_v they_o neither_o have_v they_o any_o regard_n thereof_o wherefore_o this_o their_o condemnation_n proceed_v not_o of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n unworthy_o receive_v for_o see_v that_o they_o be_v not_o receive_v but_o by_o faith_n they_o be_v never_o receive_v unwoorthy_o neither_o can_v they_o indeed_o be_v otherwise_o than_o livelie_a and_o quicken_a thing_n but_o of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n from_o whence_o the_o condemnation_n of_o the_o wicked_a flow_v in_o that_o they_o do_v unwoorthy_o eat_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n therefore_o contemn_v and_o reject_v because_o in_o this_o action_n neither_o the_o bread_n shall_v be_v due_o consider_v as_o bread_n but_o as_o a_o pledge_n of_o the_o lord_n body_n nor_o the_o wine_n regard_v only_o as_o the_o wine_n but_o as_o a_o sure_a pledge_n of_o the_o lord_n blood_n therefore_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v unworthilie_o to_o receive_v without_o faith_n i●_n to_o receive_v unworthilie_o that_o whosoever_o he_o be_v that_o receive_v this_o bread_n and_o wine_n unworthy_o that_o be_v to_o say_v without_o faith_n do_v despise_v not_o the_o bread_n and_o the_o wine_n but_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n in_o those_o pledge_n &_o be_v therefore_o guilty_a of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n a_o reason_n why_o all_o receive_v not_o christ_n in_o the_o supper_n which_o he_o receive_v not_o but_o which_o he_o have_v in_o consideration_n or_o due_a regard_n of_o for_o christ_n do_v not_o ●●icken_v or_o cause_n to_o live_v all_o they_o to_o who_o he_o be_v offer_v whether_o this_o be_v do_v in_o the_o word_n alone_o or_o in_o the_o sacrament_n but_o he_o do_v indeed_o quicken_v all_o they_o of_o who_o he_o be_v receive_v because_o he_o can_v be_v receive_v of_o any_o other_o but_o of_o the_o faithful_a only_o &_o as_o for_o those_o of_o who_o he_o be_v despise_v he_o do_v judge_v they_o all_o interpret_v two_o saying_n of_o the_o ancient_a

they_o i_o think_v that_o this_o say_n the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o every_o one_o receive_v may_v be_v bear_v withal_o &_o this_o also_o that_o of_o the_o faithful_a it_o be_v receive_v
