and_o before_o have_v deliver_v we_o from_o the_o sorrow_n and_o pain_n of_o hell_n so_o that_o from_o henceforth_o neither_o hell_n nor_o the_o devil_n shall_v hinder_v or_o hurt_v we_o in_o our_o

and_o second_o that_o we_o also_o now_o by_o his_o power_n shall_v be_v resuscitate_v &_o quicken_v to_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o three_o that_o the_o resurrection_n of_o christ_n be_v a_o most_o

christ_n true_a god_n and_o man_n according_a to_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v now_o no_o more_o in_o earth_n but_o in_o heaven_n yet_o according_a to_o his_o godhead_n majesty_n grace_n and_o

though_o his_o humane_a nature_n be_v in_o all_o place_n as_o the_o divine_a be_v for_o see_v the_o divine_a nature_n be_v incomprehensible_a and_o always_o to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o place_n it_o

most_o that_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o our_o flesh_n be_v already_o in_o heaven_n &_o that_o our_o saviour_n christ_n jesus_n send_v down_o unto_o we_o from_o thence_o his_o holy_a ghost_n as_o a_o

here_o upon_o earth_n three_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o god_n the_o father_n and_o god_n the_o son_n be_v a_o true_a only_o and_o eternal_a god_n &_o second_o that_o he_o be_v give_v unto_o we_o to_o make_v we_o partaker_n through_o a_o true_a faith_n in_o christ_n of_o all_o his_o good_a gift_n and_o benefit_n and_o further_o that_o he_o be_v our_o

of_o all_o kindred_n and_o generation_n of_o man_n choose_v a_o congregation_n unto_o himself_o for_o everlasting_a life_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o his_o godly_a word_n in_o the_o unity_n of_o true_a faith_n which_o from_o the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n he_o have_v gather_v &_o yet_o gather_v together_o preserve_v &_o defend_v &_o believe_v also_o that_o we_o be_v a_o lively_a

our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v a_o communion_n and_o society_n in_o all_o his_o treasure_n and_o gift_n and_o therefore_o we_o acknowledge_v that_o we_o be_v debtor_n of_o all_o such_o gift_n as_o he_o have_v impart_v unto_o we_o to_o bestow_v they_o willing_o and_o joyful_o to_o the_o profit_n &_o help_v of_o other_o our_o commember_v we_o believe_v and_o confess_v also_o that_o god_n the_o father_n for_o the_o satisfaction_n and_o full_a payment_n of_o christ_n jesus_n have_v forgive_v and_o never_o will_v call_v to_o remembrance_n our_o sin_n or_o sinful_a inclination_n and_o

we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v afraid_a of_o the_o judgement_n of_o god._n of_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o flesh_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o not_o only_o our_o soul_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v depart_v out_o of_o our_o body_n by_o temporal_a death_n be_v in_o the_o same_o instant_n take_v up_o and_o receive_v unto_o christ_n their_o head_n but_o also_o that_o our_o flesh_n

neither_o eye_n have_v see_v nor_o ear_n hear_v nor_o any_o man_n heart_n can_v conceive_v god_n be_v always_o thank_v &_o praise_v therefore_o and_o thereto_o help_v we_o god_n the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n one_o true_a and_o everlasting_a god_n amen_o and_o for_o asmuch_o as_o without_o cause_n we_o have_v be_v suspect_v of_o many_o as_o though_o we_o hold_v &_o believe_v not_o in_o such_o sort_n of_o the_o holy_a and_o bless_a sacrament_n as_o become_v good_a christian_n we_o have_v think_v good_a immediate_o after_o the_o former_a confession_n of_o our_o faith_n to_o set_v down_o also_o in_o write_v our_o plain_a confession_n of_o those_o point_n we_o therefore_o believe_v and_o confess_v both_o with_o our_o mouth_n heart_n and_o pen_n that_o all_o sacrament_n aswell_o of_o the_o old_a as_o new_a testament_n be_v appoint_v and_o ordain_v by_o god_n himself_o to_o this_o end_n that_o they_o all_o shall_v signify_v and_o point_n as_o with_o a_o finger_n unto_o the_o bloody_a offering_n of_o christ_n jesus_n once_o accomplish_v upon_o the_o cross_n as_o undoubted_o all_o the_o patriarch_n and_o faithful_a father_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n herewith_o only_o

and_o make_v a_o full_a satisfaction_n and_o payment_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o therefore_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n as_o many_o hundred_o year_n hitherto_o in_o the_o

in_o god_n word_n by_o god_n himself_o and_o his_o holy_a prophet_n &_o apostle_n have_v be_v promise_v unto_o we_o and_o we_o believe_v and_o hold_v steadfast_o that_o the_o lord_n god_n think_v chiefty_a upon_o the_o weakness_n and_o infirmity_n of_o man_n nature_n and_o as_o the_o only_a knower_n and_o searcher_n of_o heart_n understand_v how_o hard_o it_o be_v for_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n to_o believe_v the_o naked_a word_n of_o god_n which_o be_v preach_v and_o declare_v in_o the_o holy_a gospel_n and_o therefore_o he_o will_v also_o represent_v and_o set_v before_o our_o eye_n such_o thing_n which_o we_o daily_o use_v and_o be_v most_o know_v unto_o we_o to_o quicken_v stir_v

up_o &_o strengthen_v our_o faith_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v give_v the_o soon_o credit_v to_o the_o word_n preach_v as_o the_o same_o may_v appear_v by_o this_o similitude_n take_v from_o worldly_a thing_n namely_o when_o we_o receive_v from_o a_o emperor_n king_n or_o other_o great_a prince_n a_o letter_n or_o writing_n although_o the_o same_o be_v subscribe_v with_o the_o prince_n own_o hand_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o satisfy_v therewith_o if_o the_o seal_n be_v not_o annex_v also_o to_o it_o and_o in_o case_n the_o seal_n be_v put_v thereto_o than_o it_o content_v we_o and_o then_o we_o may_v say_v i_o have_v from_o that_o emperor_n king_n etc_n etc_n a_o letter_n &_o seal_n wherein_o this_o or_o that_o be_v write_v and_o signify_v unto_o i_o but_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o the_o holy_a baptism_n and_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v ordain_v of_o christ_n himself_o to_o that_o end_n that_o christian_n shall_v use_v they_o hold_v they_o in_o great_a reverence_n and_o not_o despise_v they_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o only_a

be_v true_a &_o assure_a token_n &_o witness_n of_o god_n grace_v towards_o we_o for_o which_o cause_n when_o we_o shall_v have_v young_a child_n bear_v into_o this_o world_n we_o shall_v not_o as_o some_o do_v suffer_v they_o to_o be_v 8._o 9_o or_o 10._o year_n old_a till_o they_o be_v of_o some_o reasonable_a discretion_n and_o then_o first_o baptise_v they_o but_o rather_o much_o more_o comfort_v ourselves_o with_o that_o which_o our_o lord_n christ_n say_v to_o his_o disciple_n mark._n 10._o let_v little_a child_n come_v unto_o i_o for_o of_o such_o be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n if_o then_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n belong_v unto_o young_a child_n as_o it_o be_v undoubted_o true_a why_o shall_v we_o then_o doubt_v that_o they_o be_v not_o also_o comprehend_v and_o conclude_v in_o the_o covenant_n which_o god_n make_v with_o abraham_n and_o the_o believe_a father_n heretofore_o and_o for_o that_o cause_n we_o ought_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n seclude_v or_o forclose_v they_o from_o the_o holy_a baptism_n of_o the_o efficacy_n and_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a baptism_n we_o believe_v that_o our_o child_n see_v as_o be_v before_o declare_v they_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o covenant_n when_o they_o shall_v be_v baptize_v according_o to_o the_o article_n of_o our_o true_a old_a and_o universal_a faith_n and_o also_o be_v afterwards_o bring_v up_o in_o the_o same_o they_o be_v also_o make_v partaker_n of_o the_o bloody_a death_n of_o our_o lord_n and_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n and_o all_o his_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v unto_o we_o by_o his_o say_a death_n in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o not_o only_o receive_v the_o outward_a seal_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n which_o be_v the_o elemental_a water_n upon_o their_o outward_a body_n but_o like_o wise_a inward_o be_v baptize_v in_o their_o soul_n by_o christ_n himself_o with_o his_o blood_n which_o be_v shed_v and_o also_o through_o the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n regenerate_v and_o bear_v again_o to_o be_v new_a creature_n for_o as_o the_o elemental_a water_n of_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n in_o baptism_n be_v not_o christ_n blood_n nor_o the_o holy_a ghost_n itself_o so_o also_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o blood_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o elemental_a water_n and_o although_o the_o elemental_a water_n according_a to_o his_o property_n and_o nature_n can_v do_v no_o more_o then_o outward_o cleanse_v the_o body_n and_o reach_v not_o so_o far_o as_o unto_o the_o soul_n yet_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n cleanse_v the_o soul_n inward_o to_o everlasting_a life_n and_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v the_o one_o so_o do_v christ_n the_o other_o as_o saint_n john_n the_o baptist_n witness_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o saint_n matthewes_n gospel_n i_o baptise_v you_o with_o water_n to_o repentance_n or_o amendment_n of_o life_n but_o he_o that_o come_v after_o i_o be_v strong_a than_o i_o be_o who_o shoe_n i_o be_o not_o worthy_a to_o carry_v he_o shall_v baptise_v you_o with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o fire_n and_o like_v unto_o this_o be_v the_o say_n of_o saint_n paul_n in_o the_o ten_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o the_o corinthian_n that_o after_o the_o same_o sort_n the_o israelite_n be_v baptize_v with_o the_o cloud_n and_o sea_n as_o also_o they_o be_v feed_v with_o manna_n and_o drink_v the_o water_n which_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o rock_n etc_n etc_n and_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o holy_a &_o most_o worthy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n we_o believe_v and_o confess_v willing_o with_o all_o other_o christian_n that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n first_o institute_v the_o say_v supper_n which_o he_o himself_o keep_v with_o his_o disciple_n and_o therefore_o it_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v despise_v of_o christian_n but_o rather_o to_o be_v hold_v in_o great_a estimation_n &_o reverence_n for_o the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o this_o cause_n ordain_v this_o participation_n and_o fruition_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n 11._o that_o thereby_o we_o shall_v remember_v he_o and_o declare_v his_o death_n until_o his_o come_n and_o after_o we_o have_v be_v

for_o we_o and_o his_o blood_n shed_v for_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o if_o we_o shall_v apprehend_v and_o take_v unto_o we_o with_o true_a faith_n it_o will_v be_v a_o true_a &_o spiritual_a food_n and_o drink_n to_o eternal_a life_n as_o the_o visible_a bread_n and_o wine_n be_v food_n for_o the_o nourish_a of_o the_o corporal_a body_n see_v we_o be_v in_o christ_n member_n of_o he_o the_o head_n branch_n of_o he_o the_o vine_n tree_n incorporate_v into_o he_o by_o his_o spirit_n and_o so_o for_o his_o sake_n and_o through_o he_o shall_v obtain_v forgiveness_n of_o our_o

last_o supper_n ordain_v and_o hold_v it_o with_o his_o disciple_n and_o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o have_v any_o other_o &_o much_o less_o use_v any_o other_o unless_o we_o will_v contemptuous_o offend_v against_o the_o commandment_n and_o institution_n of_o christ_n now_o it_o can_v not_o be_v deny_v but_o must_v be_v confess_v of_o all_o that_o obstinate_o &_o malicious_o seek_v not_o to_o contend_v that_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n do_v not_o deliver_v unto_o his_o disciple_n his_o natural_a &_o then_o present_a body_n as_o it_o be_v sit_v at_o the_o table_n &_o not_o yet_o

these_o day_n some_o have_v cause_v a_o great_a division_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n teach_v that_o man_n must_v believe_v that_o they_o must_v eat_v and_o drink_v in_o the_o communion_n the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n with_o their_o corporal_a mouth_n as_o it_o be_v then_o natural_a and_o present_a at_o his_o last_o supper_n and_o whosoever_o will_v not_o believe_v and_o confess_v this_o which_o without_o great_a prejudice_n of_o their_o conscience_n they_o can_v not_o believe_v they_o be_v call_v despiser_n of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o great_a blasphemer_n of_o god_n but_o

have_v any_o cause_n to_o ask_v what_o the_o lord_n jesus_n mean_v by_o such_o his_o say_a institution_n and_o therefore_o we_o believe_v and_o confess_v that_o in_o the_o holy_a supper_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n where_o it_o shall_v be_v keep_v according_o to_o his_o own_o institution_n to_o the_o faithful_a for_o who_o this_o supper_n or_o communion_n be_v only_o ordain_v even_o as_o for_o his_o disciple_n at_o the_o first_o the_o true_a offer_v and_o crucify_a body_n of_o christ_n with_o all_o his_o heavenly_a treasure_n and_o benefit_n which_o he_o have_v purchase_v by_o his_o

his_o body_n be_v not_o yet_o offer_v and_o crucify_v nor_o his_o blood_n yet_o shed_v yet_o his_o say_a disciple_n do_v eat_v his_o very_a natural_a and_o humane_a body_n which_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o immaculate_a virgin_n marie_n &_o shall_v be_v short_o after_o deliver_v up_o for_o they_o &_o do_v drink_v his_o true_a blood_n which_o short_o shall_v be_v shed_v for_o they_o as_o though_o it_o have_v be_v deliver_v up_o and_o shed_v already_o so_o also_o the_o distance_n of_o the_o place_n hinder_v not_o we_o and_o other_o faithful_a believer_n that_o be_v that_o we_o also_o with_o the_o holy_a apostle_n according_a to_o the_o lord_n institution_n do_v eat_v the_o same_o body_n of_o christ_n &_o drink_v his_o blood_n although_o the_o lord_n jesus_n with_o that_o his_o natural_a body_n be_v now_o no_o more_o upon_o earth_n but_o sit_v in_o heaven_n on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n his_o heavenly_a father_n from_o whence_o he_o shall_v come_v to_o judge_v the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a as_o the_o article_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n teach_v &_o declare_v unto_o we_o and_o therefore_o we_o have_v no_o need_n of_o this_o question_n whether_o with_o his_o self_n

upon_o earth_n and_o nevertheless_o he_o be_v as_o the_o almighty_a son_n of_o god_n at_o all_o time_n and_o in_o all_o place_n with_o his_o grace_n and_o holy_a spirit_n with_o he_o and_o chief_o in_o his_o holy_a supper_n where_o he_o be_v both_o our_o host_n and_o food_n and_o as_o the_o minister_n do_v distribute_v the_o precious_a sacrament_n seal_n and_o token_n that_o be_v the_o bless_a

down_o and_o dismay_v by_o the_o knowledge_n and_o consideration_n of_o their_o sin_n and_o of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god._n now_o therefore_o if_o this_o question_n be_v make_v how_o christ_n the_o
