what_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o make_v himself_o understand_v most_o time_n speak_v in_o term_n conformable_a to_o the_o rule_n which_o common_a

that_o to_o expound_v the_o scripture_n we_o take_v our_o measure_n from_o art_n which_o show_v the_o congruity_n of_o language_n the_o accord_n of_o figure_n the_o nerve_n and_o sinew_n of_o discourse_n but_o sometime_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n have_v speech_n and_o purpose_n altoghether_o entire_a who_o form_n answer_v not_o to_o ordinary_a rule_n thus_o the_o holy_a bible_n begin_v with_o these_o word_n that_o the_o elohim_n which_o be_v the_o person_n of_o the_o most_o bless_a trinity_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n term_n who_o construction_n be_v not_o

represent_v his_o body_n for_o it_o seem_v that_o this_o symbol_n shall_v be_v more_o analogick_n and_o significative_a according_a to_o the_o say_n of_o many_o it_o be_v forasmuch_o as_o flesh_n have_v serve_v in_o old_a time_n in_o the_o sacrifice_n and_o in_o the_o passeover_n and_o that_o it_o behoove_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n shall_v be_v of_o other_o element_n than_o those_o that_o have_v serve_v under_o the_o law_n but_o this_o answer_n be_v ill_o ground_v for_o 1._o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v also_o use_v in_o sacrifice_n there_o be_v by_o

baptism_n shall_v be_v with_o water_n 3._o the_o contrary_n be_v rather_o true_a and_o this_o be_v that_o also_o which_o some_o ancient_a father_n say_v of_o it_o that_o in_o this_o action_n jesus_n christ_n use_v bread_n and_o wine_n because_o that_o these_o element_n have_v already_o be_v use_v under_o the_o law_n to_o represent_v his_o body_n and_o his_o blood_n and_o this_o to_o the_o end_n we_o shall_v know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o christ_n represent_v by_o the_o same_o sign_n but_o why_o then_o have_v not_o the_o flesh_n of_o live_a creature_n as_o well_o place_n in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o eucharist_n since_o it_o have_v represent_v christ_n in_o that_o of_o the_o passeover_n and_o in_o so_o many_o kind_n of_o sacrifice_n we_o say_v indeed_o that_o christ_n have_v rather_o choose_v bread_n because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o common_a and_o the_o most_o nourish_a food_n and_o so_o most_o proper_a to_o represent_v his_o body_n but_o this_o exclude_v not_o other_o reason_n which_o we_o may_v give_v thereof_o moreover_o the_o eucharist_n represent_v not_o the_o body_n of_o jesus_n christ_n simple_o as_o nourishment_n but_o also_o as_o dead_a now_o some_o may_v say_v which_o nevertheless_o be_v not_o without_o contradiction_n that_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o old_a time_n more_o ocular_o represent_v by_o the_o kill_n of_o a_o lamb_n than_o at_o this_o day_n by_o the_o break_n of_o bread_n so_o it_o be_v this_o be_v the_o point_n i_o be_o to_o handle_v that_o jesus_n christ_n institute_v sign_n of_o his_o dead_a body_n and_o of_o his_o blood_n shed_v do_v choose_v thing_n without_o life_n and_o element_n wherein_o there_o be_v not_o blood_n whereby_o he_o will_v show_v that_o after_o he_o no_o creature_n shall_v any_o more_o lose_v his_o life_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o man_n and_o that_o no_o other_o blood_n shall_v be_v shed_v in_o expiation_n for_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v bloody_a to_o denote_v the_o

effusion_n of_o blood_n to_o show_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o more_o blood_n shed_v for_o sin_n hence_o it_o be_v we_o have_v no_o more_o a_o sacrament_n which_o require_v the_o kill_n of_o any_o creature_n but_o sign_n wherein_o death_n do_v not_o intervene_v as_o be_v of_o themselves_o without_o life_n and_o of_o another_o substance_n than_o of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n chap._n xvii_o the_o nine_o consideration_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n man_n principal_o the_o common_a people_n do_v natural_o love_v similitude_n because_o they_o be_v draw_v from_o thing_n
