in_o what_o respect_n be_v christ_n present_a and_o discernible_a in_o the_o sacrament_n second_o to_o what_o be_v he_o make_v discernible_a and_o communicable_a three_o how_o the_o sacrament_n make_v he_o discernible_a and_o what_o way_n it_o hold_v he_o out_o as_o discernible_a to_o we_o four_o what_o may_v be_v the_o reason_n why_o christ_n hold_v out_o himself_o his_o break_a body_n as_o

and_o his_o blood_n shed_v this_o be_v say_v he_o my_o body_n which_o be_v break_v for_o you_o this_o cup_n be_v the_o new_a testament_n in_o my_o blood_n shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o the_o

of_o he_o and_o we_o be_v bid_v take_v and_o eat_v and_o all_o to_o drink_v of_o it_o these_o last_o two_o look_v to_o the_o covenant_n and_o hold_v out_o the_o sacrament_n in_o reference_n to_o it_o and_o how_o our_o lord_n jesus_n first_o by_o his_o suffering_n be_v to_o purchase_v a_o people_n to_o himself_o and_o second_o that_o he_o be_v to_o be_v communicable_a to_o his_o people_n therefore_o the_o cup_n be_v call_v the_o new_a covenant_n in_o his_o blood_n the_o cup_n and_o the_o covenant_n go_v together_o for_o though_o we_o may_v consider_v christ_n without_o the_o

answer_v first_o he_o be_v not_o discernible_a nor_o present_a after_o a_o corporal_a manner_n to_o the_o bodily_a eye_n though_o he_o be_v real_o and_o true_o present_a the_o bread_n that_o he_o

the_o faith_n of_o his_o people_n he_o be_v present_a in_o his_o own_o ordinance_n when_o his_o spirit_n go_v along_o and_o quicken_v their_o heart_n and_o their_o faith_n be_v in_o exercise_n they_o be_v make_v to_o apprehend_v christ_n body_n and_o to_o have_v a_o union_n with_o he_o sit_v in_o glory_n as_o real_o as_o they_o partake_v of_o the_o element_n with_o their_o hand_n and_o feed_v upon_o they_o with_o their_o mouth_n and_o stomach_n a_o union_n as_o real_a as_o be_v betwixt_o the_o head_n and_o the_o member_n and_o betwixt_o the_o root_n and_o the_o branch_n these_o two_o the_o spirit_n on_o christ_n side_n and_o faith_n on_o our_o side_n make_v up_o a_o real_a union_n and_o therefore_o though_o this_o presence_n be_v real_a yet_o it_o be_v spiritual_a faith_n look_v and_o go_v through_o the_o element_n take_v up_o christ_n according_a to_o the_o end_n appoint_v and_o this_o make_v the_o union_n even_o as_o faith_n will_v look_v and_o go_v through_o the_o word_n and_o credit_v the_o word_n take_v up_o christ_n in_o it_o and_o make_v a_o union_n with_o he_o so_o by_o virtue_n of_o this_o ordinance_n there_o be_v a_o spiritual_a presence_n of_o and_o union_n with_o christ_n jesus_n three_o a_o presence_n to_o sense_n not_o so_o much_o in_o respect_n of_o inward_a feel_n as_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o powerful_a effect_n of_o his_o presence_n though_o often_o inward_a feel_n go_v alongst_o with_o it_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v the_o communion_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o wine_n of_o heaven_n and_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o mean_a and_o way_n he_o manifest_v himself_o therein_o to_o the_o eye_n to_o the_o touch_n to_o the_o taste_n and_o to_o the_o ear_n and_o there_o be_v a_o colour_n sensible_a which_o be_v more_o than_o be_v in_o any_o

blessing_n to_o the_o inward_a sense_n of_o the_o soul_n three_o how_o do_v the_o sacrament_n hold_v out_o christ_n as_o discernible_a to_o we_o for_o answer_v i_o shall_v offer_v these_o four_o way_n how_o he_o may_v be_v present_a to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o believer_n in_o the_o sacrament_n all_o which_o way_n he_o be_v make_v discernible_a 1_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o institution_n for_o

all_o christ_n ordinance_n yet_o it_o belong_v in_o a_o peculiar_a way_n to_o this_o ordinance_n for_o in_o it_o he_o be_v present_a in_o a_o special_a man●er_n make_v over_o himself_o and_o his_o suffering_n to_o we_o second_o he_o be_v make_v discernible_a in_o the_o sacrament_n in_o as_o far_o as_o it_o represent_v he_o and_o though_o the_o word_n hold_v he_o out_o yet_o the_o sacrament_n do_v so_o more_o full_o clear_o and_o sensible_o by_o such_o and_o such_o sign_n by_o bread_n and_o bread_n break_v represent_v his_o body_n break_v by_o suffer_v by_o wine_n and_o wine_n pour_v out_o represent_v his_o blood_n shed_v and_o by_o wine_n distinct_a from_o the_o bread_n to_o show_v a_o most_o true_a and_o real_a death_n in_o which_o respect_n it_o be_v say_v do_v this_o in_o

represent_v christ_n but_o this_o represent_v he_o in_o his_o suffering_n and_o die_v and_o in_o the_o end_n of_o it_o and_o make_v it_o over_o to_o the_o worthy_a communicant_a three_o he_o be_v make_v discernible_a by_o this_o sacrament_n in_o this_o respect_n as_o it_o be_v a_o seal_n append_v and_o affix_v to_o the_o covenant_n serve_v to_o ratify_v and_o confirm_v the_o promise_n contain_v in_o the_o covenant_n and_o so_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n consider_v
but_o general_o there_o be_v a_o great_a ignorance_n darkness_n and_o blindness_n as_o to_o the_o right_a partake_n of_o this_o ordinance_n then_o as_o to_o most_o other_o either_o through_o the_o difficulty_n of_o it_o or_o through_o our_o laziness_n that_o put_v we_o not_o to_o study_v it_o better_o so_o that_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v at_o many_o of_o we_o who_o may_v have_v some_o affection_n what_o be_v a_o communion_n and_o what_o be_v the_o right_a way_n of_o partake_v of_o it_o there_o will_v be_v find_v but_o very_o little_a distinctness_n in_o the_o thing_n and_o many_o content_n

any_o wonder_n that_o most_o person_n communicate_v unworthy_o this_o exercise_n of_o self-searching_a be_v so_o much_o slight_v which_o be_v to_o the_o most_o part_n so_o very_o difficult_a and_o to_o many_o through_o their_o own_o fault_n impossible_a the_o first_o use_n serve_v for_o warning_n as_o to_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o get_v a_o token_n and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o
