jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o supper_n since_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v of_o a_o testament_n who_o last_o seal_n be_v the_o eucharist_n a_o christian_n ought_v to_o learn_v what_o this_o testament_n

the_o six_o consideration_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o jesus_n christ_n my_o blood_n say_v he_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n we_o know_v that_o his_o death_n ought_v to_o be_v bloody_a

with_o blood_n nevertheless_o that_o which_o i_o have_v to_o observe_v thereupon_o deserve_v to_o be_v consider_v death_n which_o be_v the_o wage_n of_o sin_n begin_v by_o effusion_n of_o blood_n the_o first_o that_o ever_o die_v which_o be_v abel_n die_v of_o a_o bloody_a death_n as_o then_o the_o blood_n of_o man_n have_v be_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o death_n so_o also_o be_v it_o the_o

that_o of_o jesus_n christ_n speak_v better_a thing_n then_o that_o of_o abel_n for_o this_o cry_v out_o for_o the_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o other_o cry_v for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n it_o be_v also_o observable_a that_o the_o same_o man_n who_o die_v first_o of_o all_o be_v also_o the_o first_o in_o the_o holy_a history_n who_o have_v sacrifice_v with_o blood_n for_o

who_o offer_v the_o bloody_a oblation_n whereby_o we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v from_o sin_n which_o be_v the_o sting_n of_o death_n final_o the_o jew_n who_o think_v it_o strange_a that_o the_o blood_n

never_o come_v into_o the_o holy_a place_n but_o that_o do_v which_o be_v shed_v for_o the_o multitude_n jesus_n christ_n therefore_o advertise_v we_o that_o his_o blood_n be_v shed_v for_o many_o

the_o death_n and_o humiliation_n of_o christ_n now_o the_o disgrace_n can_v not_o be_v represent_v by_o a_o glorious_a spectacle_n and_o full_a of_o splendour_n nor_o the_o weakness_n by_o token_n
