word_n do_v not_o allow_v we_o any_o doubt_n of_o it_o our_o adversary_n do_v well_o discern_v that_o simple_a figure_n and_o bare_a sign_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n will_v not_o satisfy_v christian_n use_v &_o accustom_v to_o the_o grace_n and_o goodness_n of_o a_o god_n who_o give_v himself_o so_o real_o to_o us._n so_o that_o upon_o this_o ground_n they_o seek_v to_o decline_v the_o be_v tax_v with_o their_o deny_v a_o substantial_a and_o real_a participation_n of_o jesus-christ_n in_o the_o communion_n they_o affirm_v with_o we_o that_o he_o make_v we_o partaker_n of_o his_o proper_a substance_n 53._o they_o say_v that_o he_o feed_v we_o with_o the_o substance_n of_o his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n 36._o and_o conceave_a that_o his_o show_v we_o by_o some_o sign_n that_o

ascertain_v we_o of_o it_o these_o word_n be_v so_o important_a as_o we_o will_v present_o examine_v they_o now_o than_o we_o see_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n present_a in_o our_o mystery_n by_o the_o grant_n of_o the_o caluinist_n for_o what_o be_v communicate_v according_a to_o the_o proper_a substance_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v real_o present_a true_a it_o be_v that_o they_o explain_v this_o communication_n say_v it_o be_v effect_v by_o the_o spirit_n and_o by_o faith_n but_o it_o be_v also_o certain_a that_o they_o will_v have_v it_o to_o be_v real_a and_o because_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a to_o render_v this_o intelligible_a that_o a_o body_n communicate_v to_o we_o only_o in_o spirit_n &_o by_o faith_n shall_v be_v impart_v to_o we_o real_o and_o in_o its_o proper_a substance_n they_o have_v not_o be_v able_a to_o remain_v fix_v in_o both_o part_n of_o a_o doctrine_n of_o such_o a_o contradiction_n and_o so_o they_o have_v be_v force_v to_o grant_v two_o thing_n which_o the_o catholic_a church_n teach_v the_o first_o be_v that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v give_v we_o in_o the_o eucharist_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o do_v not_o suit_n either_o with_o baptism_n or_o preach_v the_o gospel_n but_o be_v peculiar_o proper_a to_o this_o mystery_n we_o shall_v discern_v present_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o principle_n but_o let_v we_o first_o consider_v how_o it_o be_v allow_v &_o grant_v by_o the_o pretended-reformer_n and_o in_o this_o point_n i_o will_v not_o allege_v the_o testimony_n of_o any_o particular_a author_n but_o the_o very_a word_n of_o the_o catechism_n in_o that_o place_n where_o it_o explicateh_o what_o relate_v to_o the_o lord's-supper_n it_o pronounce_v in_o express_a term_n not_o only_o that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v give_v we_o real_o and_o true_o in_o the_o sacrament_n 53._o and_o in_o his_o own_o substance_n but_o be_v ask_v the_o question_n what_o advantage_n we_o have_v by_o the_o communication_n in_o the_o supper_n above_o that_o in_o baptism_n or_o preach_v they_o answer_v 52._o although_o he_o be_v true_o communicate_v to_o we_o by_o baptism_n and_o by_o the_o gospel_n yet_o in_o they_o it_o be_v but_o partly_o and_o not_o entire_o from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o lord's-supper_n they_o teach_v he_o be_v not_o give_v we_o partly_o but_o complete_o there_o be_v a_o extreme_a difference_n between_o receive_v in_o part_n and_o receive_v plenary_o so_o that_o if_o we_o partake_v of_o jesus-christ_n in_o all_o other_o communication_n of_o he_o but_o in_o part_n and_o that_o in_o the_o lord_n supper_n single_o we_o receive_v he_o entire_o it_o follow_v even_o by_o the_o confession_n of_o our_o adversary_n that_o we_o must_v seek_v in_o the_o communion_n a_o participation_n special_a and_o peculiar_a to_o this_o mystery_n which_o can_v not_o appertain_v to_o baptism_n or_o preach_v and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n it_o follow_v also_o that_o this_o partake_n be_v not_o annex_v unto_o faith_n since_o our_o faith_n spread_v &_o extend_v itself_o through_o all_o the_o act_n of_o christianity_n do_v exist_v and_o operate_v in_o the_o preach_a of_o the_o word_n and_o in_o baptism_n as_o well_o as_o the_o lord's-supper_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o notwithstanding_o all_o the_o earnestness_n the_o pretending-reformer_n have_v express_v to_o render_v baptism_n and_o preach_v equal_a to_o the_o eucharist_n upon_o this_o account_n that_o christ_n jesus_n be_v true_o comunicate_v to_o we_o by_o they_o they_o never_o dare_v venture_v to_o assert_v in_o their_o catechism_n that_o christ_n be_v give_v we_o in_o his_o proper_a substance_n either_o in_o baptism_n or_o in_o preach_v of_o the_o gospel_n as_o they_o have_v affirm_v it_o of_o the_o eucharist_n so_o that_o they_o have_v be_v convince_v they_o can_v not_o decline_v the_o ascribe_v to_o the_o lord_n supper_n such_o a_o manner_n of_o possess_v christ_n as_o be_v peculiar_a to_o this_o sacrament_n and_o that_o our_o faith_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o the_o action_n of_o a_o christian_a can_v not_o be_v that_o distinct_a &_o singular_a manner_n now_o this_o singular_a manner_n of_o possess_v christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o eucharist_n must_v needs_o be_v real_a since_o it_o give_v to_o the_o believer_n the_o very_a substance_n of_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o be_v not_o do_v by_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v what_o the_o catholic_a church_n hold_v &_o teach_v the_o second_o point_n grant_v by_o the_o pretend_v reformer_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o article_n follow_v immediate_o what_o i_o have_v already_o cite_v out_o of_o their_o catechism_n which_o be_v this_o that_o the_o body_n of_o our_o saviour_n 52._o in_o regard_n it_o be_v once_o offer_v in_o sacrifice_n to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o god_n be_v now_o give_v we_o to_o assure_v we_o that_o we_o partake_v of_o that_o reconciliation_n if_o these_o word_n have_v any_o meaning_n in_o they_o if_o they_o be_v not_o a_o empty_a sound_n only_o &_o a_o mere_a vain_a amusement_n they_o must_v needs_o suggest_v to_o our_o understanding_n that_o christ_n jesus_n do_v not_o give_v we_o a_o simple_a sign_n or_o symbol_n but_o his_o proper_a body_n to_o assure_v we_o that_o we_o partake_v of_o his_o sacrifice_n and_o the_o

necessity_n that_o this_o partake_n of_o the_o fruit_n must_v be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o the_o receive_n of_o his_o body_n because_o the_o one_o be_v the_o pledge_n and_o security_n for_o the_o other_o from_o which_o supposal_n advance_v further_o i_o say_v that_o if_o our_o adversary_n be_v force_v to_o distinguish_v in_o the_o lord's-supper_n the_o partake_n of_o the_o body_n of_o our_o saviour_n from_o the_o have_a part_n in_o the_o fruit_n and_o grace_n of_o his_o sacrifice_n they_o ought_v likewise_o to_o distinguish_v the_o participation_n of_o that_o divine_a body_n from_o

the_o subject_n of_o that_o epistle_n since_o the_o apostle_n intend_v in_o it_o to_o explain_v the_o perfection_n of_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o not_o the_o different_a mean_n god_n have_v give_v we_o to_o apply_v it_o unto_o ourselves_o and_o to_o prevent_v all_o equivocal_a sense_n if_o we_o take_v the_o word_n offer_v as_o it_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o epistle_n in_o that_o sense_n which_o imply_v the_o actual_a death_n of_o the_o victim_n we_o confess_v aloud_o that_o jesus-christ_n be_v no_o long_o offer_v so_o neither_o in_o the_o eucharist_n nor_o any_o where_o else_o but_o as_o this_o same_o word_n have_v a_o large_a signification_n in_o other_o place_n of_o scripture_n where_o it_o be_v often_o say_v that_o one_o offer_v to_o god_n what_o one_o

he_o offer_v himself_o up_o in_o the_o eucharist_n according_a to_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o holy_a father_n of_o the_o church_n now_o to_o conceive_v that_o this_o manner_n wherein_o christ_n

whole_a scripture_n and_o especial_o that_o epistle_n which_o they_o seek_v so_o much_o to_o strain_v against_o us._n for_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n we_o ought_v to_o conclude_v that_o when_o christ_n jesus_n vow_v himself_o to_o god_n enter_v into_o the_o world_n 5_o to_o substitute_v himself_o instead_o of_o those_o victime_n which_o be_v not_o please_v to_o he_o that_o he_o injure_v the_o action_n by_o which_o he_o deuowed_a himself_o upon_o the_o cross_n and_o so_o 24_o when_o he_o continue_v to_o appear_v for_o we_o before_o god_n he_o detract_v from_o the_o oblation_n in_o which_o he_o appear_v once_o by_o the_o immolation_n of_o himself_o 26._o and_o that_o not_o cease_v to_o intercede_v for_o we_o 25._o he_o accuse_v that_o intercession_n of_o insufficiency_n which_o he_o make_v at_o his_o death_n with_o so_o many_o tear_n 7._o and_o so_o great_a cry_n will_v not_o all_o these_o inference_n be_v ridiculous_a we_o must_v therefore_o understand_v that_o christ_n jesus_n who_o do_v offer_v up_o himself_o once_o to_o become_v the_o humble_a victim_n of_o the_o divine_a justice_n do_v continue_v still_o offer_v himself_o for_o we_o that_o the_o infinite_a
