by_o our_o eye_n by_o our_o nose_n by_o our_o taste_n and_o by_o our_o handle_n also_o and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n full_a well_o may_v be_v call_v séeable_a sensible_a tasteable_a and_o

i_o think_v the_o apostle_n full_a well_o call_v the_o sacrament_n obsignation_n or_o sealing_n of_o god_n promise_n read_v rom._n the_o 4._o of_o circumcision_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o answer_n to_o the_o objection_n aforesaid_a now_o to_o return_v from_o whence_o we_o come_v namely_o to_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o second_o thing_n what_o the_o sacrament_n be_v i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o it_o be_v not_o simple_o bread_n and_o wine_n but_o rather_o christ_n body_n so_o call_v of_o christ_n and_o so_o to_o be_v call_v and_o esteem_v of_o we_o ▪_o but_o here_o let_v we_o mark_v what_o body_n and_o what_o blood_n christ_n call_v it_o ●pper_n the_o papist_n still_o babble_n this_o be_v my_o body_n this_o be_v my_o blood_n but_o what_o body_n it_o be_v what_o

till_o he_o come_v the_o supper_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o be_v not_o simple_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n but_o christ_n body_n break_v and_o his_o blood_n shed_v wherefore_o break_v wherefore_o

let_v we_o come_v and_o look_v on_o the_o three_o and_o last_o thing_n namely_o institute_v wherefore_o the_o lord_n do_v institute_v this_o sacrament_n our_o nature_n be_v very_o oblivious_a of_o

all_o benefit_n that_o be_v christ_n death_n and_o that_o we_o may_v be_v on_o all_o part_n assure_v of_o communion_n with_o christ_n of_o all_o kindness_n the_o great_a that_o ever_o god_n do_v give_v unto_o man_n the_o former_a to_o be_v the_o end_n wherefore_o christ_n do_v institute_v this_o sacrament_n he_o himself_o do_v teach_v we_o say_v do_v you_o this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o the_o latter_a the_o apostle_n do_v no_o less_o set_v forth_o in_o say_v the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o partake_n or_o communion_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o

be_v and_o be_v for_o the_o reformation_n and_o help_n of_o our_o oblivion_n of_o that_o which_o we_o shall_v never_o forget_v and_o of_o our_o dubitation_n of_o that_o whereof_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o certain_a concern_v the_o former_a namely_o of_o the_o memory_n of_o christ_n death_n what_o commodity_n it_o bring_v with_o it_o i_o will_v purpesely_a for_o time_n sake_n omit_v only_o a_o little_a will_v i_o speak_v of_o the_o commodity_n come_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o partake_n and_o communion_n we_o have_v with_o christ_n first_o it_o teach_v we_o that_o no_o man_n can_v communicate_v with_o christ_n but_o the_o same_o must_v needs_o communicate_v with_o god_n grace_n &_o favour_n where_o through_o sin_n be_v forgive_v therefore_o this_o commodity_n come_v herethrough_a namely_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v certain_a of_o the_o remission_n and_o pardon_n of_o our_o sin_n the_o which_o thing_n we_o may_v also_o perceive_v by_o the_o cup_n in_o that_o it_o

heavy_a again_o no_o man_n can_v communicate_v with_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n but_o the_o same_o must_v communicate_v with_o his_o spirit_n for_o christ_n body_n be_v no_o dead_a carcase_n now_o he_o that_o communicate_v with_o christ_n spirit_n communicate_v as_o with_o holiness_n righteousness_n innocence_n and_o immortality_n and_o with_o all_o the_o merit_n of_o christ_n body_n so_o do_v
