nothing_o more_o meet_a to_o nourish_v the_o body_n than_o bread_n and_o wine_n so_o the_o lord_n have_v not_o choose_v these_o sign_n without_o a_o reason_n as_o the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n

what_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o diversity_n that_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o one_o sacrament_n two_o why_o in_o baptism_n there_o be_v but_o one_o sign_n and_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n two_o have_v appoint_v two_o sign_n and_o in_o the_o other_o but_o one_o sign_n i_o will_v show_v you_o the_o reason_n he_o have_v appoint_v only_o one_o sign_n in_o baptism_n to_o wit_n water_n because_o water_n be_v sufficient_a enough_o for_o the_o whole_a if_o water_n have_v not_o be_v sufficient_a to_o represent_v the_o thing_n signify_v he_o will_v have_v appoint_v another_o sign_n but_o in_o

in_o this_o sacrament_n one_o sign_n will_v not_o suffice_v but_o there_o must_v be_v two_o and_o why_o wine_n can_v be_v sufficient_a alone_o neither_o can_v bread_n be_v sufficient_a alone_o for_o he_o that_o have_v bread_n only_o and_o
whether_o soev_a the_o soul_n go_v to_o the_o same_o place_n shall_v the_o conscience_n repair_v and_o look_v in_o what_o estate_n thy_o conscience_n be_v when_o thou_o departe_v out_o of_o this_o

if_o thou_o get_v it_o not_o then_o pacify_v it_o shall_v be_v also_o a_o tormentor_n to_o thou_o in_o that_o general_a judgement_n therefore_o this_o matter_n will_v be_v well_o weigh_v and_o every_o one_o of_o you_o shall_v study_v to_o have_v a_o good_a conscience_n that_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v sever_v from_o the_o body_n leave_v your_o conscience_n at_o rest_n and_o peace_n with_o god_n it_o may_v be_v restore_v unto_o you_o &_o meet_v you_o again_o with_o as_o great_a peace_n and_o quietness_n thus_o far_o concern_v conscience_n what_o it_o be_v i_o beseech_v the_o live_a lord_n so_o to_o sanctify_v your_o memory_n that_o you_o may_v keep_v these_o thing_n and_o that_o every_o one_o of_o these_o thing_n may_v be_v so_o imprint_v in_o your_o heart_n that_o you_o may_v be_v

the_o lord_n will_v make_v his_o residence_n in_o no_o other_o part_n of_o the_o soul_n but_o in_o the_o conscience_n he_o have_v appoint_v his_o dwelling_n to_o be_v in_o the_o hart_n of_o man_n and_o in_o the_o will_n and_o conscience_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o it_o become_v you_o to_o make_v his_o dwell_a place_n clean_o &_o to_o take_v heeed_o unto_o your_o heart_n next_o though_o the_o lord_n of_o heaven_n make_v not_o his_o residence_n there_o yet_o in_o respect_n the_o eye_n of_o god_n be_v a_o all-seeing_a eye_n and_o able_a to_o pierce_v through_o the_o very_a thickness_n of_o man_n flesh_n how_o dark_a and_o gross_a soever_o it_o be_v and_o to_o enter_v into_o the_o very_a secret_a corner_n of_o thy_o conscience_n for_o unto_o the_o all-seeing_a eye_n of_o god_n the_o most_o secret_a corner_n of_o the_o conscience_n be_v as_o clear_v and_o manifest_a as_o any_o outward_a or_o bodily_a thing_n in_o the_o earth_n can_v be_v to_o the_o outward_a eye_n of_o the_o body_n in_o respect_n therefore_o that_o this_o eye_n be_v so_o pierce_a and_o that_o he_o cast_v his_o eye_n only_o upon_o our_o heart_n it_o behoove_v we_o to_o try_v our_o heart_n three_o he_o be_v the_o lord_n of_o the_o conscience_n there_o be_v no_o monarch_n on_o earth_n that_o have_v any_o sovereignty_n or_o lordship_n over_o the_o conscience_n only_o the_o god_n of_o heaven_n only_a

of_o the_o lord_n table_n thou_o ought_v careful_o to_o look_v unto_o thy_o conscience_n to_o try_v and_o examine_v the_o state_n of_o it_o last_o of_o all_o which_o be_v a_o chief_a reason_n it_o

of_o our_o health_n it_o be_v lawful_a for_o we_o to_o seek_v such_o thing_n as_o may_v procure_v and_o preserve_v it_o but_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n stand_v in_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o

and_o if_o thy_o soul_n be_v in_o health_n let_v trouble_n come_v what_o will_v upon_o thy_o body_n thou_o will_v endure_v they_o all_o but_o if_o thy_o soul_n be_v disease_v with_o a_o evil_a

few_o lesson_n first_o of_o all_o be_v sure_a that_o you_o retain_v steadfast_a a_o persuasion_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n examine_v when_o thou_o lie_v down_o and_o examine_v when_o thou_o rise_v up_o in_o what_o estate_n thou_o be_v with_o god_n whether_o thou_o may_v look_v for_o mercy_n at_o his_o hand_n or_o not_o be_v thou_o persuade_v of_o mercy_n assure_v thyself_o thy_o conscience_n be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n thou_o have_v health_n in_o thy_o soul_n for_o by_o the_o keep_n of_o faith_n the_o conscience_n be_v preserve_v as_o say_v the_o apostle_n 1._o tim._n 1.19_o keep_v this_o persuasion_n preserve_v it_o whole_a and_o sound_a hurt_v it_o not_o bring_v not_o thy_o soul_n into_o doubt_v stay_v not_o nor_o hinder_v thy_o persuasion_n if_o thou_o desire_v to_o keep_v health_n in_o thy_o soul_n for_o if_o thou_o doubt_v or_o any_o way_n diminish_v thy_o persuasion_n and_o assurance_n assure_o thy_o assurance_n can_v so_o soon_o be_v hinder_v nor_o diminish_v but_o at_o that_o very_a instant_n shall_v follow_v the_o diminish_n of_o the_o health_n of_o thy_o soul_n yea_o it_o can_v be_v but_o in_o that_o very_a article_n of_o time_n shall_v follow_v the_o hurt_n of_o thy_o conscience_n for_o faith_n will_v not_o dwell_v but_o in_o a_o whole_a conscience_n therefore_o at_o what_o time_n thou_o do_v any_o thing_n against_o thy_o conscience_n at_o that_o very_a time_n thou_o lose_v a_o degree_n of_o thy_o persuasion_n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o until_o such_o time_n as_o thou_o fall_v down_o at_o the_o foot_n of_o christ_n and_o obtain_v mercy_n for_o that_o wicked_a deed_n purchase_v peace_n at_o his_o hand_n and_o repair_v thy_o persuasion_n thou_o shall_v ever_o doubt_v of_o mercy_n and_o want_n health_n in_o thy_o conscience_n then_o this_o be_v the_o first_o lesson_n to_o keep_v health_n in_o your_o soul_n to_o be_v persuade_v of_o mercy_n the_o second_o lesson_n to_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n or_o to_o keep_v health_n in_o thy_o soul_n be_v this_o you_o must_v fly_v eschew_v and_o forbear_v whatsoever_o may_v trouble_v the_o health_n of_o your_o soul_n whatsoever_o may_v trouble_v the_o quietness_n &_o peaceable_a estate_n of_o your_o conscience_n cast_v it_o out_o forbear_v it_o and_o eschew_v it_o this_o general_n be_v good_a but_o let_v we_o see_v what_o it_o be_v that_o trouble_v the_o quiet_a estate_n of_o the_o conscience_n only_o sin_n nothing_o but_o a_o evil_a nature_n therefore_o we_o must_v of_o necessity_n to_o keep_v health_n in_o our_o soul_n forbear_v and_o eschew_v sin_n we_o must_v fly_v and_o avoid_v sin_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o you_o can_v both_o keep_v a_o good_a conscience_n and_o serve_v the_o affection_n of_o your_o

to_o do_v thou_o must_v not_o be_v give_v to_o the_o service_n of_o thy_o affection_n and_o of_o thy_o appetite_n to_o put_v they_o in_o execution_n as_o thou_o have_v former_o do_v but_o in-case_n

the_o diversity_n of_o the_o instrument_n and_o four_o the_o diverse_a manner_n of_o receive_v mark_v all_o these_o diligent_o and_o you_o shall_v find_v little_a difficulty_n in_o the_o sacrament_n and_o first_o to_o make_v it_o clear_a unto_o you_o i_o say_v that_o the_o sign_n &_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o both_o give_v by_o one_o and_o this_o you_o see_v plain_o for_o as_o for_o the_o sign_n that_o bread_n &_o that_o wine_n you_o see_v yourselves_o that_o the_o minister_n offer_v unto_o you_o the_o sign_n he_o give_v you_o that_o sacrament_n as_o that_o sign_n be_v a_o earthly_a and_o corporal_a thing_n so_o it_o be_v a_o earthly_a and_o corporal_a man_n that_o give_v it_o now_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v of_o another_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a thing_n therefore_o this_o heavenly_a thing_n be_v not_o give_v by_o a_o earthly_a man_n this_o incorruptible_a thing_n be_v not_o give_v by_o a_o natural_a and_o corruptible_a man_n but_o christ_n jesus_n have_v lock_v up_o and_o reserve_v the_o ministry_n of_o this_o heavenly_a thing_n to_o himself_o only_o therefore_o there_o be_v two_o giver_n in_o this_o sacrament_n the_o minister_n give_v the_o earthly_a thing_n christ_n jesus_n the_o mediator_n give_v you_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n in_o this_o sacrament_n for_o christ_n in_o give_v the_o earthly_a thing_n will_v not_o use_v his_o own_o ministry_n immediate_o nor_o the_o ministry_n of_o a_o angel_n but_o only_o the_o ministry_n of_o a_o earthly_a man_n and_o as_o for_o the_o dispensation_n of_o his_o own_o body_n and_o blood_n he_o will_v not_o give_v it_o either_o to_o heavenly_a creature_n or_o earthly_a man_n but_o he_o keep_v this_o ministry_n to_o himself_o and_o he_o dispense_v his_o own_o body_n and_o blood_n to_o who_o and_o when_o he_o please_v and_o why_o if_o any_o man_n in_o the_o world_n have_v power_n to_o give_v christ_n body_n and_o blood_n no_o question_n this_o man_n shall_v have_v power_n to_o cleanse_v the_o hart_n and_o conscience_n for_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n have_v this_o power_n with_o it_o and_o consequent_o shall_v have_v power_n to_o
wine_n only_o have_v not_o a_o perfect_a corporal_a nourishment_n therefore_o that_o they_o may_v represent_v and_o let_v we_o see_v a_o perfect_a nourishment_n he_o have_v give_v we_o both_o bread_n &_o wine_n for_o the_o perfect_a corporal_a nourishment_n stand_v in_o meat_n and_o drink_n to_o represent_v the_o full_a and_o perfect_a nourishment_n of_o the_o soul_n mark_v how_o full_a and_o

nourishment_n for_o his_o soul_n then_o you_o see_v the_o reason_n wherefore_o there_o be_v two_o sign_n appoint_v in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o only_o one_o sign_n in_o baptism_n there_o remain_v yet_o concern_v these_o sign_n two_o thing_n to_o be_v inquire_v first_o endure_v two_o question_n what_o power_n the_o bread_n have_v to_o be_v a_o sign_n in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o how_o long_o that_o power_n endure_v what_o power_n have_v that_o bread_n in_o this_o sacrament_n to_o be_v a_o sign_n more_o than_o the_o bread_n which_o be_v use_v in_o common_a house_n from_o whence_o come_v that_o power_n next_o if_o it_o have_v a_o power_n how_o long_o endure_v and_o remain_v that_o power_n with_o the_o bread_n for_o the_o first_o concern_v the_o power_n which_o that_o bread_n have_v more_o than_o any_o other_o bread_n i_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o bread_n have_v a_o power_n give_v unto_o it_o by_o christ_n &_o by_o his_o institution_n answer_v 1_o by_o the_o which_o institution_n it_o be_v appoint_v to_o signify_v his_o body_n to_o represent_v his_o body_n &_o to_o deliver_v his_o body_n that_o bread_n have_v a_o power_n flow_v from_o christ_n institution_n that_o bread_n have_v that_o power_n from_o christ_n institution_n and_o his_o institution_n which_o other_o common_a bread_n have_v not_o so_o that_o if_o any_o of_o you_o will_v ask_v when_o the_o minister_n in_o this_o action_n be_v break_v or_o distribute_v that_o bread_n pour_v out_o and_o distribute_v that_o wine_n if_o you_o will_v i_o say_v ask_v what_o sort_n of_o creature_n those_o be_v this_o be_v the_o answer_n they_o be_v holy_a thing_n you_o must_v give_v this_o name_n to_o the_o sign_n and_o seal_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o bread_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o holy_a bread_n and_o that_o wine_n be_v a_o holy_a wine_n why_o because_o the_o bless_a institution_n of_o christ_n have_v sever_v they_o from_o that_o use_n whereunto_o they_o serve_v before_o and_o have_v apply_v they_o unto_o a_o holy_a use_n not_o to_o feed_v the_o body_n but_o to_o feed_v the_o soul_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o power_n of_o that_o bread_n it_o have_v a_o power_n flow_v from_o christ_n and_o his_o institution_n answer_n 2_o now_o the_o second_o thing_n be_v how_o long_o this_o power_n continue_v with_o that_o bread_n how_o long_o that_o bread_n have_v this_o office_n table_n that_o power_n continue_v during_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n in_o a_o word_n i_o say_v this_o power_n continue_v with_o that_o bread_n during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n during_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n look_v how_o long_o that_o action_n continue_v and_o that_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n last_v so_o long_o it_o continue_v holy_a bread_n so_o long_o continue_v the_o power_n with_o that_o bread_n but_o look_v how_o soon_o the_o action_n be_v end_v so_o soon_o end_v the_o holiness_n of_o it_o look_v how_o soon_o the_o service_n of_o the_o table_n be_v end_v so_o soon_o that_o bread_n become_v common_a bread_n again_o &_o the_o holiness_n of_o it_o cease_v then_o this_o power_n continue_v not_o for_o ever_o but_o it_o continue_v only_o during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o action_n and_o service_n of_o the_o table_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o element_n there_o be_v beside_o the_o element_n a_o other_o sort_n of_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v not_o a_o ceremony_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n but_o be_v a_o sign_n and_o have_v it_o own_o spiritual_a signification_n with_o it_o as_o namely_o look_v to_o the_o break_n of_o that_o bread_n it_o represent_v unto_o thou_o the_o break_n of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n not_o that_o his_o body_n and_o bone_n be_v break_v but_o that_o it_o be_v break_v with_o dolour_n with_o anguish_n and_o distress_n of_o hart_n with_o the_o weight_n of_o the_o indignation_n and_o fury_n of_o god_n that_o he_o sustain_v for_o our_o sin_n which_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o then_o the_o break_n be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o wine_n also_o be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n for_o as_o you_o see_v clear_o that_o by_o the_o wine_n be_v signify_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n so_o by_o the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o wine_n be_v signify_v that_o his_o blood_n be_v sever_v from_o his_o flesh_n and_o the_o sever_n of_o those_o two_o make_v death_n for_o in_o blood_n be_v the_o life_n and_o consequent_o it_o testify_v his_o death_n the_o pour_v out_o of_o the_o wine_n then_o tell_v thou_o that_o he_o die_v for_o thou_o that_o his_o blood_n be_v shed_v for_o thou_o so_o this_o be_v a_o essential_a ceremony_n which_o must_v not_o be_v leave_v out_o likewise_o the_o distribution_n give_v and_o eat_v of_o that_o bread_n be_v essential_a ceremony_n and_o what_o do_v the_o eat_n testify_v unto_o thou_o the_o apply_v of_o the_o body_n &_o blood_n of_o christ_n unto_o thy_o soul_n so_o that_o there_o be_v none_o of_o these_o rite_n but_o have_v their_o own_o signification_n and_o there_o can_v one_o of_o they_o be_v leave_v out_o but_o you_o shall_v pervert_v the_o whole_a action_n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o sign_n now_o observation_n a_o observation_n what_o profit_n can_v you_o make_v of_o all_o this_o discourse_n learn_v this_o lesson_n and_o you_o shall_v make_v profit_n by_o these_o thing_n in_o respect_n that_o every_o sign_n and_o ceremony_n have_v it_o own_o spiritual_a signification_n so_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o ceremony_n in_o this_o whole_a action_n that_o want_v it_o own_o spiritual_a signification_n consider_v this_o and_o think_v with_o yourselves_o at_o that_o time_n especial_o when_o you_o be_v at_o the_o lord_n table_n &_o in_o the_o sight_n of_o that_o

his_o own_o body_n with_o his_o own_o hand_n he_o be_v as_o busy_a give_v to_o thou_o his_o own_o blood_n with_o the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o it_o so_o in_o this_o action_n if_o thou_o be_v a_o faithful_a communicant_a look_v what_o the_o mouth_n do_v and_o how_o the_o mouth_n of_o the_o body_n be_v occupy_v outward_o so_o be_v the_o hand_n and_o mouth_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v

for_o by_o faith_n and_o a_o constant_a persuasion_n be_v the_o only_a way_n to_o eat_v the_o body_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n inward_o and_o do_v this_o there_o can_v but_o follow_v a_o fruitful_a eat_n thus_o far_o for_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o sign_n now_o come_v in_o the_o matter_n wherein_o great_a difficulty_n stand_v whereof_o i_o speak_v the_o last_o day_n sacrament_n how_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v conjoin_v in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o god_n give_v i_o the_o grace_n yet_o in_o the_o particular_a i_o must_v speak_v as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o general_a but_o somewhat_o more_o short_o then_o you_o have_v to_o understand_v for_o the_o better_a information_n of_o your_o conscience_n and_o for_o the_o better_a preparation_n of_o your_o soul_n you_o have_v to_o understand_v how_o that_o bread_n and_o that_o wine_n which_o be_v the_o sign_n be_v couple_v with_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v signify_v thereby_o what_o sort_n of_o conjunction_n this_o be_v and_o from_o whence_o this_o conjunction_n flow_v i_o shall_v be_v brief_a because_o i_o have_v already_o in_o my_o last_o lecture_n speak_v of_o it_o at_o large_a take_v heed_n for_o if_o you_o give_v not_o good_a attention_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o you_o can_v conceive_v this_o conjunction_n concern_v this_o conjunction_n will_v you_o know_v how_o these_o two_o be_v couple_v then_o must_v
to_o the_o soul_n now_o it_o may_v be_v that_o where_o two_o thing_n be_v true_o &_o conjointlie_o offer_v a_o man_n may_v receive_v the_o one_o and_o refuse_v the_o other_o he_o receive_v the_o one_o because_o he_o have_v a_o instrument_n to_o take_v it_o he_o refuse_v the_o other_o because_o he_o want_v a_o instrument_n i_o hear_v the_o word_n because_o i_o have_v a_o ear_n to_o hear_v it_o with_o i_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n because_o i_o have_v a_o mouth_n to_o receive_v it_o with_o but_o as_o for_o the_o thing_n which_o the_o word_n and_o sacrament_n represent_v i_o may_v refuse_v it_o because_o i_o have_v not_o a_o mouth_n to_o take_v it_o nor_o a_o eye_n to_o perceive_v it_o and_o therefore_o the_o fault_n be_v not_o on_o god_n part_n but_o on_o our_o part_n the_o wicked_a get_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n offer_v to_o they_o conjoint_o with_o the_o word_n &_o sacrament_n but_o the_o fault_n be_v on_o their_o part_n that_o they_o have_v not_o a_o mouth_n to_o receive_v he_o and_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v they_o a_o mouth_n mark_v this_o that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o of_o god_n special_a grace_n and_o mercy_n that_o he_o give_v i_o a_o eye_n to_o perceive_v he_o and_o a_o mouth_n to_o receive_v he_o i_o will_v refuse_v he_o as_o well_o as_o they_o so_o this_o argument_n hold_v not_o christ_n be_v offer_v to_o all_o ergo_fw-la he_o be_v

of_o christ_n these_o speech_n be_v sacramental_a yet_o you_o be_v not_o the_o wise_a but_o i_o will_v make_v it_o plain_a by_o god_n grace_n they_o be_v sacramental_a what_o be_v that_o you_o know_v it_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o body_n to_o eat_v and_o drink_v they_o be_v the_o proper_a action_n of_o the_o body_n only_o now_o they_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o soul_n by_o a_o translation_n by_o a_o
