his_o save_a grace_n and_o spiritual_a action_n concern_v the_o same_o 3._o a_o similitude_n and_o likeness_n between_o they_o both_o as_o for_o example_n in_o baptism_n as_o water_n do_v wash_v away_o the_o filth_n of_o the_o body_n so_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n do_v wash_v away_o the_o spot_n of_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n do_v nourish_v and_o feed_v the_o body_n so_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n lay_v hold_v on_o by_o true_a and_o lively_a faith_n do_v nourish_v and_o cherish_v the_o soul_n to_o eternal_a life_n the_o sign_n use_v in_o the_o sacrament_n be_v either_o 1._o represent_v as_o water_n bread_n and_o wine_n or_o 2._o apply_v as_o wash_v eat_a drink_v etc._n etc._n the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v in_o both_o sacrament_n do_v so_o agree_v that_o the_o sign_n do_v so_o fit_o represent_v the_o thing_n signify_v thereby_o that_o the_o mind_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v draw_v by_o the_o sign_n to_o consider_v of_o the_o thing_n thereby_o signify_v the_o end_n of_o sacrament_n be_v the_o seal_n of_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n or_o more_o full_o thus_o in_o these_o three_o particular_n 1._o to_o help_v our_o understanding_n and_o insight_n therefore_o the_o sacrament_n be_v as_o clear_a glass_n so_o the_o apostle_n say_v to_o 1._o gal._n 3._o 1._o the_o galatian_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o

whereas_o we_o know_v that_o corporal_o christ_n be_v crucify_v at_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v far_o distant_a from_o the_o region_n of_o galatia_n 2._o to_o help_v our_o memory_n to_o bring_v to_o

word_n but_o confirm_v it_o by_o writing_n and_o lest_o we_o shall_v any_o way_n doubt_v as_o natural_o we_o be_v incline_v to_o do_v therefore_o he_o have_v set_v to_o his_o seal_n that_o nothing_o may_v be_v lack_v to_o increase_v and_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n from_o whence_o the_o sacrament_n become_v not_o only_a mark_n and_o pledge_n of_o our_o christian_a profession_n but_o also_o so_o many_o bond_n to_o bind_v we_o to_o obedience_n so_o that_o hereby_o not_o only_o the_o free_a grace_n of_o god_n and_o the_o promise_n be_v seal_v to_o we_o on_o god_n part_n but_o also_o our_o

there_o be_v represent_v in_o our_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n not_o only_o that_o union_n which_o we_o have_v with_o god_n in_o christ_n but_o also_o that_o communion_n which_o we_o embrace_v with_o all_o those_o who_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o union_n with_o we_o we_o must_v understand_v and_o believe_v that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o sacrament_n be_v not_o include_v in_o the_o

our_o weakness_n for_o if_o we_o be_v whole_o spiritual_a as_o the_o angel_n be_v than_o we_o shall_v be_v able_a spiritual_o to_o contemplate_v god_n and_o his_o gift_n but_o now_o since_o we_o be_v
