of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o help_v forward_o the_o communion_n with_o christ_n and_o with_o the_o church_n we_o believe_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o supper_n be_v not_o only_o a_o

the_o take_n of_o the_o bless_a bread_n he_o call_v the_o communion_n of_o the_o lord_n body_n because_o they_o which_o eat_v with_o a_o actual_a faith_n in_o the_o lord_n do_v join_v in_o communion_n

1._o cor._n 11.20_o you_o show_v the_o lord_n death_n and_o therefore_o the_o end_n be_v that_o we_o may_v be_v confirm_v in_o the_o faith_n concern_v remission_n of_o sin_n we_o may_v be_v nourish_v into_o hope_n of_o a_o bless_a resurrection_n we_o may_v give_v thanks_o to_o he_o for_o so_o great_a a_o benefit_n we_o may_v be_v stir_v up_o to_o repentance_n and_o last_o we_o may_v open_o before_o the_o whole_a congregation_n renew_v our_o covenant_n begin_v with_o god_n but_o since_o all_o these_o thing_n tend_v to_o this_o that_o we_o may_v more_o &_o more_o be_v unite_v to_o

we_o doubt_v not_o but_o the_o supper_n be_v principal_o institute_v for_o the_o increase_n of_o this_o unite_n and_o communion_n with_o christ_n wherein_o our_o salvation_n be_v make_v perfect_a

call_v the_o body_n of_o christ_n whereupon_o we_o may_v also_o understand_v why_o christ_n call_v this_o bread_n his_o own_o body_n namely_o not_o for_o that_o it_o be_v either_o proper_o his_o

that_o it_o be_v a_o sacrament_n for_o sacrament_n say_v augustine_n take_v unto_o they_o the_o name_n of_o the_o thing_n whereof_o they_o be_v sacrament_n and_o therefore_o a_o instrument_n also_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o communicate_v unto_o we_o the_o true_a body_n of_o christ_n &_o to_o confirm_v we_o in_o his_o communion_n like_o as_o for_o the_o same_o cause_n the_o apostle_n also_o call_v baptism_n not_o the_o sign_n of_o regeneration_n 5.26_o eph._n 5.26_o but_o the_o wash_a water_n itself_o of_o regeneration_n namely_o because_o that_o by_o this_o wash_n of_o water_n through_o the_o word_n as_o by_o a_o fit_a instrument_n christ_n by_o the_o work_a power_n of_o his_o spirit_n do_v inward_o wash_v and_o cleanse_v we_o and_o beget_v we_o a_o new_a v._o the_o true_a and_o

that_o the_o bread_n be_v christ_n body_n even_o that_o true_a body_n which_o be_v give_v for_o we_o but_o yet_o this_o be_v improper_o &_o figurative_o since_o in_o very_a deed_n the_o bread_n be_v

hereby_o we_o be_v also_o confirm_v in_o this_o opinion_n that_o as_o the_o bread_n be_v not_o proper_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n but_o a_o sacrament_n thereof_o so_o also_o christ_n be_v not_o

this_o bread_n be_v my_o body_n now_o if_o any_o will_v say_v that_o this_o be_v all_o one_o in_o sense_n it_o will_v follow_v if_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v real_o in_o the_o bread_n than_o the_o bread_n be_v real_o proper_o and_o substantial_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n and_o if_o this_o be_v impious_a to_o be_v speak_v neither_o do_v we_o think_v that_o the_o other_o can_v godly_o be_v

gospel_n which_o it_o declare_v and_o offer_v but_o since_o the_o common_a sort_n have_v use_v to_o draw_v such_o manner_n of_o speech_n to_o superstition_n we_o judge_v that_o those_o speech_n be_v altogether_o to_o be_v foreborne_v and_o avoid_v and_o the_o simple_a plain_a phrase_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v use_v vii_o in_o the_o supper_n be_v give_v not_o only_o the_o sign_n but_o
