eat_n and_o drink_v that_o be_v believe_v in_o he_o and_o obey_v he_o and_o hope_v for_o pardon_n through_o his_o death_n which_o be_v the_o spiritual_a food_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v evident_a from_o the_o 54_o the_o and_o 56_o the_o verse_n where_o every_o one_o that_o eat_v of_o his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v of_o his_o blood_n be_v say_v to_o have_v actual_o eternal_a life_n in_o he_o and_o christ_n dwell_v in_o he_o and_o he_o dwell_v in_o christ._n that_o be_v christ_n love_v he_o with_o a_o love_n of_o complacency_n he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o belove_v of_o he_o and_o a_o heir_n of_o heaven_n but_o since_o wicked_a man_n come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n not_o only_o in_o our_o church_n but_o even_o in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n it_o will_v follow_v if_o a_o corporal_a eat_n be_v understand_v that_o wicked_a man_n eat_v christ_n body_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n have_v eternal_a life_n in_o they_o and_o that_o christ_n dwell_v in_o they_o and_o be_v true_a child_n of_o god_n and_o heir_n of_o heaven_n contrary_a to_o the_o unanimous_a consent_n of_o the_o holy_a prophet_n and_o apostle_n who_o call_v wicked_a man_n child_n of_o the_o devil_n and_o blind_v by_o the_o devil_n the_o god_n of_o the_o world_n and_o heir_n of_o damnation_n and_o indeed_o it_o be_v strange_a that_o people_n shall_v contend_v for_o this_o corporal_a and_o sensual_a eat_n of_o christ_n flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n when_o christ_n himself_o say_v v_o 63._o that_o the_o flesh_n profit_v nothing_o and_o that_o this_o eat_n and_o drink_v must_v be_v understand_v spiritual_o i.e._n of_o spiritual_a eat_n and_o drink_v which_o be_v believe_v as_o it_o be_v say_v v_o 64._o you_o see_v madam_n what_o it_o be_v not_o to_o make_v use_n of_o your_o own_o reason_n but_o to_o enslave_v it_o to_o the_o faith_n of_o a_o church_n which_o love_v to_o act_v in_o the_o dark_a and_o will_v have_v her_o child_n collier_n and_o believe_v what_o the_o church_n believe_v and_o know_v little_a more_o than_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o a_o ave_fw-la maria_n or_o a_o rosary_n time_n be_v when_o you_o be_v please_v to_o tell_v our_o minister_n that_o though_o you_o be_v go_v over_o to_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n yet_o you_o have_v liberty_n not_o to_o pray_v to_o saint_n nor_o to_o fall_v down_o before_o image_n for_o that_o be_v not_o think_v necessary_a by_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n which_o only_o recommend_v pray_v to_o saint_n and_o veneration_n of_o relic_n and_o image_n as_o a_o thing_n useful_a and_o which_o man_n have_v receive_v much_o benefit_n by_o and_o indeed_o i_o remember_v i_o be_v tell_v you_o think_v that_o pray_v to_o saint_n be_v a_o kind_n of_o idolatry_n and_o therefore_o be_v glad_a they_o will_v excuse_v you_o from_o that_o worship_n but_o since_o i_o hear_v that_o you_o be_v grow_v as_o devout_a a_o worshipper_n of_o saint_n and_o peculiar_o of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n and_o do_v prostrate_a yourself_o before_o they_o as_o much_o as_o the_o most_o tractable_a papist_n in_o the_o world_n i_o confess_v i_o do_v smell_v a_o rat_n at_o first_o when_o your_o priest_n assure_v you_o that_o invocation_n of_o saint_n be_v not_o a_o thing_n command_v but_o recommend_v as_o useful_a and_o be_v then_o confident_a that_o before_o a_o year_n come_v to_o a_o end_n for_o all_o these_o soft_a expression_n and_o dispensation_n with_o your_o omission_n of_o this_o worship_n they_o will_v persuade_v you_o to_o that_o worship_n which_o then_o you_o think_v unlawful_a my_o prophecy_n be_v come_v to_o pas●_n and_o the_o pill_n which_o seem_v very_o bitter_a at_o first_o be_v swallow_v and_o become_v sweet_a than_o honey_n and_o look_v upon_o as_o a_o excellent_a medicine_n and_o this_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v be_v more_o than_o you_o can_v have_v in_o our_o church_n but_o this_o be_v our_o comfort_n that_o the_o more_o ingenuous_a man_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n confess_v that_o this_o pray_v to_o saint_n or_o angel_n be_v not_o hear_v of_o or_o use_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n for_o the_o first_o three_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n and_o if_o the_o christian_a church_n for_o the_o first_o 300_o year_n do_v not_o think_v it_o useful_a at_o all_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a degeneration_n from_o their_o principle_n to_o press_v it_o now_o as_o useful_a certain_o if_o god_n have_v think_v this_o invocation_n so_o useful_a as_o your_o church_n pretend_v it_o be_v he_o will_v not_o have_v so_o peremtory_o command_v call_v upon_o i_o in_o the_o day_n of_o trouble_n i_o will_v deliver_v thou_o and_o thou_o shall_v glorify_v i_o psalm_n 50.15_o and_o it_o be_v probable_a the_o apostle_n in_o prescribe_v so_o many_o useful_a thing_n of_o far_o less_o concern_v will_v not_o have_v leave_v we_o in_o the_o dark_a as_o to_o the_o mighty_a usefullness_n of_o this_o invocation_n especial_o when_o they_o have_v occasion_n to_o mention_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n make_v perfect_a and_o do_v so_o often_o converse_v with_o angel_n the_o angel_n revel_v 22.8.9_o think_v it_o a_o very_a useless_a thing_n and_o will_v not_o admit_v of_o so_o much_o as_o a_o religious_a prostration_n of_o the_o evangelist_n before_o he_o because_o it_o look_v like_o sacrilege_n and_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o due_n but_o since_o your_o church_n in_o this_o adoration_n take_v pattern_n so_o much_o by_o the_o court_n of_o prince_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o suggest_v to_o you_o how_o you_o think_v a_o sovereign_a prince_n will_v take_v it_o if_o a_o subject_a shall_v give_v any_o of_o his_o servant_n the_o title_n of_o majesty_n or_o any_o other_o title_n which_o proper_o belong_v to_o he_o there_o be_v few_o title_n that_o god_n have_v and_o inspire_v man_n have_v give_v to_o he_o but_o you_o give_v they_o to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n and_o though_o when_o you_o be_v charge_v with_o it_o you_o fall_v to_o distinction_n and_o turn_v and_o wind_n yourselves_o to_o get_v out_o yet_o that_o show_v only_o a_o bad_a cause_n because_o it_o require_v so_o much_o artifice_v and_o cunning_a to_o defend_v it_o but_o alas_o ●_o it_o must_v be_v child_n that_o be_v persuade_v and_o coax_v to_o believe_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n only_o count_v it_o useful_a not_o necessary_a when_o it_o be_v well_o know_v that_o the_o generality_n of_o that_o communion_n pray_v to_o saint_n more_o than_o to_o god_n which_o in_o the_o scripture_n phrase_n be_v honour_v the_o creature_n more_o than_o the_o creator_n and_o they_o never_o leave_v that_o person_n that_o go_v over_o to_o they_o till_o they_o have_v bring_v he_o to_o that_o worship_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n it_o be_v pretty_a to_o hear_v these_o man_n talk_v that_o it_o be_v only_o recommend_v as_o useful_a when_o the_o bishop_n and_o preacher_n of_o that_o church_n be_v enjoin_v and_o take_v their_o oath_n upon_o it_o to_o commend_v this_o invocation_n to_o the_o people_n as_o profitable_a and_o the_o people_n be_v oblige_v to_o hearken_v to_o their_o priest_n in_o all_o thing_n so_o that_o though_o a_o man_n at_o first_o may_v think_v this_o invocation_n not_o necessary_a upon_o the_o account_n of_o its_o be_v only_o useful_a yet_o from_o that_o other_o obligation_n he_o have_v to_o obey_v the_o priest_n in_o all_o spiritual_a thing_n it_o become_v necesssary_a but_o from_o this_o scruple_n we_o be_v deliver_v madam_n by_o the_o confession_n of_o faith_n which_o the_o roman_a catechism_n do_v prescribe_v for_o there_o it_o be_v that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o useful_a but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o pray_v unto_o saint_n and_o indeed_o shall_v any_o man_n live_v in_o that_o communion_n and_o omit_v it_o he_o will_v soon_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o profane_v and_o but_o a_o half_a convert_n to_o their_o church_n they_o will_v soon_o let_v he_o know_v their_o displeasure_n and_o either_o fright_n or_o flatter_v he_o into_o conformity_n and_o be_v this_o the_o worship_n madam_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n have_v enjoin_v the_o world_n be_v not_o you_o afraid_a of_o do_v thing_n that_o do_v so_o near_o border_v upon_o rob_v god_n of_o his_o honour_n and_o glory_n idolatry_n be_v a_o frightful_a word_n and_o you_o do_v not_o love_v to_o hear_v it_o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v trouble_v you_o with_o it_o as_o little_a as_o i_o can_v but_o when_o god_n have_v command_v you_o to_o come_v to_o he_o direct_o without_o mention_v the_o intercession_n of_o saint_n and_o angel_n how_o dare_v your_o church_n of_o her_o own_o head_n bring_v in_o a_o worship_n so_o dangerous_a who_o shall_v prescribe_v the_o way_n how_o god_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v but_o god_n himself_o and_o if_o god_n require_v you_o to_o address_v yourself_o to_o he_o without_o any_o other_o mediator_n but_o christ_n
