of_o it_o how_o this_o be_v shall_v be_v more_o particular_o explain_v and_o clear_v afterward_o for_o prevent_v of_o mistake_n it_o be_v in_o this_o last_o sense_n that_o we_o understand_v

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 other_o ordinance_n where_o there_o be_v but_o the_o exercise_n of_o one_o sense_n for_o the_o more_o of_o the_o outward_a sense_n he_o make_v use_v of_o he_o bring_v with_o he_o a_o proportionable_a 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 christ_n be_v here_o represent_v by_o the_o minister_n as_o give_v himself_o his_o authority_n and_o warrant_n be_v here_o therefore_o himself_n be_v here_o this_o though_o it_o be_v common_a to_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 remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v again_o every_o sacrament_n 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
or_o unbecome_o as_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o will_v the_o christian_a roman_n chap._n 16.2_o to_o receive_v phebe_n as_o become_v and_o be_v suitable_a to_o saint_n he_o make_v use_v of_o the_o word_n worthy_o for_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o original_a and_o this_o be_v the_o opposite_a to_o that_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v unsuitable_o and_o unbecome_o to_o such_o a_o manifestation_n o●_n the_o love_n of_o christ_n in_o give_v himself_o to_o and_o for_o his_o people_n as_o in_o our_o common_a language_n when_o a_o man_n do_v a_o thing_n unsuitable_o we_o say_v he_o do_v it_o unworthy_o when_o it_o answer_v not_o the_o end_n propose_v 2._o judgement_n or_o damnation_n here_o take_v in_o these_o three_o thing_n 1._o a_o temporal_a stroke_n as_o v._o 30_o 31._o for_o this_o cause_n many_o among_o you_o be_v sickly_a and_o weak_a and_o many_o sleep_n 2_o it_o may_v look_v to_o eternal_a judgement_n as_o damnation_n be_v often_o take_v in_o scripture_n 3._o it_o may_v look_v to_o spiritual_a judgement_n for_o though_o a_o believer_n be_v not_o capable_a of_o eternal_a judgement_n yet_o by_o unworthy_a communicate_v he_o may_v draw_v upon_o himself_o temporal_a stroke_n and_o spiritual_a judgement_n he_o may_v much_o wear_v out_o the_o life_n of_o grace_n and_o bring_v himself_o under_o blast_v and_o wither_v and_o unbeliever_n draw_v upon_o themselves_o not_o only_o those_o but_o eternal_a damnation_n and_o that_o with_o a_o high_a degree_n of_o aggravation_n 3._o that_o he_o be_v say_v to_o eat_v and_o drink_v this_o to_o himself_o as_o in_o the_o former_a verse_n a_o man_n be_v command_v to_o examine_v himself_o it_o may_v take_v in_o these_o two_o as_o aim_z at_z by_o the_o apostle_n 1._o it_o be_v to_o provoke_v every_o man_n to_o his_o particular_a duty_n from_o his_o particular_a hazard_n he_o hazard_v his_o own_o soul_n 2._o it_o be_v put_v here_o to_o show_v the_o restriction_n of_o the_o judgement_n according_a to_o the_o sun_n and_o so_o if_o a_o man_n examine_v himself_o though_o other_o neglect_v it_o the_o judgement_n shall_v not_o overtake_v he_o but_o if_o he_o examine_v not_o himself_o whoever_o escape_n judgement_n he_o shall_v not_o escape_v it_o and_o thus_o it_o be_v a_o encouragement_n to_o a_o man_n to_o go_v about_o the_o duty_n of_o self-examination_n as_o well_o as_o a_o motive_n of_o terror_n corinth_n be_v corrupt_v with_o man●_n abuse_n one_o person_n can_v not_o amend_v all_o well_o say_v he_o let_v a_o man_n examine_v himself_o and_o so_o he_o shall_v escape_v the_o hazard_n if_o not_o he_o will_v fall_v under_o it_o we_o shall_v first_o draw_v some_o observation_n from_o the_o word_n and_o then_o speak_v a_o word_n for_o use_v first_o it_o be_v suppose_v here_o that_o in_o this_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n there_o be_v a_o special_a eminency_n excellency_n dignity_n and_o worth_n or_o this_o ordinance_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v of_o a_o singular_a solemn_a nature_n and_o this_o i_o gather_v partly_o from_o this_o verse_n consider_v in_o itself_o he_o that_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o imply_v that_o there_o be_v a_o special_a worthiness_n in_o it_o that_o a_o
