when_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o come_v to_o behold_v jesus_n christ_n execute_v and_o put_v to_o death_n to_o every_o spiritual_a receiver_n in_o a_o

so_o if_o we_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n read_v the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o part_n of_o the_o word_n that_o principal_o concern_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o meditate_v upon_o that_o

three_o prayer_n be_v to_o be_v make_v for_o therein_o likewise_o we_o show_v the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n first_o there_o must_v be_v confession_n of_o our_o sin_n and_o we_o must_v search_v

hardness_n &_o therefore_o they_o communicate_v not_o oft_o in_o this_o sacrament_n and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n why_o they_o be_v loath_a to_o come_v to_o it_o they_o say_v it_o be_v a_o toil_n to_o come_v so_o oft_o it_o be_v true_a it_o be_v a_o toil_n to_o the_o flesh_n and_o to_o corrupt_v nature_n but_o no_o toil_n to_o a_o child_n of_o god_n but_o joy_n and_o comfort_n to_o he_o yet_o further_o you_o shall_v hear_v what_o they_o will_v allege_v and_o pretend_v beside_o some_o of_o they_o say_v there_o be_v no_o such_o necessity_n that_o we_o shall_v receive_v it_o so_o oft_o and_o they_o give_v you_o some_o reason_n for_o it_o as_o first_o why_o say_v they_o the_o sacrament_n of_o baptism_n be_v a_o sacrament_n of_o good_a use_n as_o well_o as_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v communicate_v in_o but_o once_o and_o why_o then_o shall_v we_o communicate_v so_o oft_o in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n i_o answer_v baptism_n be_v ordain_v for_o our_o admission_n into_o the_o church_n and_o house_n of_o god_n and_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o admission_n into_o if_o but_o when_o we_o be_v in_o than_o we_o must_v grow_v further_a and_o further_o to_o be_v incorporate_v into_o christ_n and_o that_o be_v by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n our_o baptism_n give_v we_o our_o admission_n and_o entrance_n though_o the_o power_n of_o baptism_n continue_v to_o our_o life_n end_v and_o whosoever_o feel_v not_o the_o power_n of_o his_o baptism_n in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n that_o man_n be_v never_o true_o baptize_v though_o the_o outward_a action_n of_o baptism_n be_v not_o to_o be_v reiterated_a yet_o still_o it_o continue_v in_o be_v to_o our_o last_o end_n still_o we_o be_v baptize_v into_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n still_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o be_v that_o which_o we_o be_v baptize_v to_o be_v to_o be_v like_a to_o christ_n and_o to_o follow_v he_o so_o than_o you_o see_v there_o be_v great_a reason_n why_o baptism_n must_v be_v but_o once_o because_o that_o be_v the_o admission_n of_o we_o into_o the_o church_n but_o this_o be_v our_o go_v forward_o in_o the_o church_n and_o in_o the_o work_n of_o grace_n therefore_o we_o must_v not_o stand_v still_o but_o proceed_v forward_o in_o this_o exercise_n continual_o again_o another_o reason_n that_o they_o allege_v be_v this_o i_o but_o say_v they_o be_v not_o the_o passeover_n in_o the_o former_a testament_n a_o sacrifice_n answerable_a to_o the_o sacrament_n in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o that_o be_v celebrate_v but_o once_o a_o year_n and_o why_o then_o shall_v this_o be_v often_o i_o answer_v there_o be_v great_a reason_n the_o time_n of_o the_o celebration_n of_o the_o passeover_n be_v a_o ceremony_n and_o so_o a_o part_n of_o god_n worship_n to_o the_o jew_n the_o passeover_n be_v command_v to_o be_v celebrate_v once_o and_o but_o once_o in_o the_o year_n and_o they_o shall_v have_v sin_v if_o they_o have_v celebrate_v it_o more_o than_o once_o but_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v to_o be_v celebrate_v often_o and_o we_o sin_n if_o we_o do_v not_o beside_o that_o the_o passeover_n be_v but_o for_o one_o temporal_a deliverance_n from_o the_o egyptian_n and_o from_o the_o hand_n of_o pharaoh_n and_o that_o one_o deliverance_n be_v but_o once_o wrought_v but_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n resemble_v unto_o we_o our_o eternal_a deliverance_n from_o sin_n satan_n hell_n death_n and_o damnation_n and_o this_o be_v not_o only_o wrought_v but_o daily_o run_v on_o and_o all_o convert_v be_v still_o daily_o pluck_v out_o from_o hell_n and_o the_o jaw_n of_o satan_n the_o work_n of_o our_o redemption_n be_v every_o day_n after_o that_o we_o be_v thorough_o convert_v still_o the_o old_a man_n be_v crucify_v and_o the_o new_a man_n be_v repair_v in_o we_o and_o therefore_o howsoever_o it_o be_v sufficient_a that_o the_o passover_n be_v once_o celebrate_v and_o but_o once_o yet_o this_o sacrament_n crament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v oft_o to_o be_v receive_v because_o it_o be_v the_o celebration_n of_o our_o eternal_a and_o everlasting_a redemption_n and_o deliverance_n a_o thing_n that_o be_v continual_o in_o work_v last_o if_o so_o be_v that_o that_o be_v a_o good_a rule_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o as_o the_o israelite_n be_v to_o celebrate_v the_o passeover_n that_o day_n only_o that_o they_o be_v deliver_v our_o of_o egypt_n than_o it_o follow_v that_o we_o shall_v receive_v this_o sacrament_n but_o only_o upon_o good_a friday_n and_o no_o time_n else_o but_o they_o themselves_o confess_v that_o that_o be_v jewish_a and_o therefore_o by_o their_o own_o confession_n this_o can_v be_v no_o just_a reason_n against_o the_o often_o participation_n of_o this_o sacrament_n another_o reason_n that_o they_o have_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n in_o receive_v it_o oft_o be_v the_o example_n of_o our_o saviour_n christ_n we_o need_v not_o to_o be_v more_o careful_a say_v they_o than_o christ_n and_o he_o never_o receive_v it_o but_o once_o in_o all_o his_o life_n time_n and_o therefore_o we_o need_v have_v it_o but_o once_o i_o answer_v christ_n to_o the_o time_n of_o his_o death_n be_v under_o the_o law_n as_o he_o be_v man_n and_o so_o be_v to_o behave_v himself_o and_o conform_v himself_o to_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o to_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o this_o sacrament_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n till_o the_o time_n come_v that_o the_o old_a be_v to_o be_v abolish_v beside_o that_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o he_o be_v rather_o a_o institutor_n than_o a_o receiver_n of_o this_o sacrament_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v to_o make_v choice_n of_o the_o fit_a time_n when_o it_o be_v to_o be_v do_v and_o that_o be_v as_o near_o to_o his_o death_n as_o can_v be_v and_o therefore_o he_o speak_v of_o it_o as_o a_o thing_n past_a this_o be_v my_o blood_n that_o be_v shed_v for_o you_o so_o that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v be_v as_o near_o to_o his_o death_n as_o may_v be_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v fit_a to_o be_v institute_v by_o he_o the_o night_n before_o he_o suffer_v last_o of_o all_o if_o they_o say_v so_o than_o they_o must_v conclude_v by_o their_o own_o rule_n that_o they_o must_v never_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n but_o when_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v if_o that_o reason_n hold_v good_a but_o as_o i_o say_v before_o our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v the_o institutor_n of_o the_o sacrament_n &_o therefore_o he_o choose_v that_o time_n that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o fresh_a in_o memory_n another_o thing_n they_o allege_v be_v a_o matter_n of_o inconveniency_n oh_o say_v

when_o we_o come_v to_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n there_o will_v be_v a_o sweet_a digest_v and_o batten_v in_o the_o inner_a man_n indeed_o the_o whole_a work_n of_o the_o

death_n that_o christ_n do_v suffer_v be_v right_o call_v the_o death_n of_o the_o lord_n because_o christ_n be_v man_n be_v also_o god_n and_o lord_n yet_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o union_n of_o both_o these_o nature_n in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o person_n therefore_o that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o christ_n as_o he_o be_v man_n be_v right_o affirm_v of_o he_o as_o be_v god_n and_o lord_n and_o thence_o we_o draw_v this_o observation_n in_o that_o it_o be_v here_o call_v the_o lord_n death_n namely_o that_o howsoever_o christ_n jesus_n be_v cruel_o and_o shameful_o crucify_v and_o

of_o it_o to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n for_o so_o you_o see_v here_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o it_o respective_o unto_o this_o supper_n as_o often_o as_o you_o shall_v 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 where_o by_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o look_v what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v here_o concern_v the_o lord_n death_n the_o same_o be_v confine_v expressety_n to_o the_o reference_n of_o the_o lord_n death_n to_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v always_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o the_o

come_v to_o communicate_v in_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n than_o there_o be_v require_v of_o we_o a_o more_o special_a meditation_n thereof_o than_o general_o at_o other_o time_n again_o even_o in_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n we_o must_v meditate_v upon_o whole_a christ_n christ_n bear_v christ_n live_v christ_n die_v christ_n

which_o be_v the_o principal_a object_n there_o to_o be_v consider_v again_o sacrament_n we_o know_v be_v teach_v sign_n figne_n ordain_v of_o god_n that_o they_o may_v be_v teacher_n unto_o we_o

verse_n as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v of_o this_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o this_o cup_n for_o that_o particle_n often_o serve_v indifferent_o for_o the_o whole_a verse_n as_o well_o for_o the_o former_a as_o the_o latter_a part_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n so_o often_o you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v three_o we_o show_v you_o here_o the_o continuance_n of_o the_o observation_n of_o this_o caution_n how_o long_o it_o must_v be_v keep_v why_o till_o christ_n jesus_n come_v to_o judgement_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n the_o caution_n itself_o the_o show_v forth_o of_o the_o lord_n death_n of_o that_o i_o have_v speak_v already_o now_o therefore_o we_o be_v god_n

remember_v of_o the_o lord_n death_n as_o often_o as_o you_o eat_v this_o bread_n and_o drink_v this_o cup_n so_o often_o you_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n till_o he_o come_v which_o word_n we_o must_v not_o so_o understand_v as_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o remembrance_n or_o the_o show_v forth_o of_o the_o lord_n death_n be_v precise_o confine_v and_o limit_v to_o the_o use_n of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o if_o the_o apostle_n shall_v say_v that_o then_o only_a the_o death_n of_o christ_n be_v to_o be_v remember_v when_o the_o sacrament_n be_v to_o be_v receive_v and_o
not_o else_o that_o be_v not_o the_o meaning_n but_o we_o must_v take_v the_o word_n to_o be_v speak_v with_o implication_n of_o a_o further_a extent_n of_o this_o duty_n namely_o that_o therefore_o so_o often_o as_o we_o receive_v this_o sacrament_n we_o must_v remember_v and_o show_v forth_o the_o lord_n death_n after_o a_o special_a manner_n that_o thereby_o we_o may_v be_v fit_v and_o enable_v to_o remember_v the_o lord_n death_n at_o all_o other_o time_n both_o by_o preparation_n before_o and_o by_o continual_a meditation_n after_o for_o thus_o we_o be_v to_o conceive_v of_o the_o present_a business_n the_o death_n of_o jesus_n christ_n must_v never_o be_v out_o of_o the_o mind_n of_o those_o that_o do_v believe_v in_o he_o their_o heart_n must_v becontinual_o run_v upon_o the_o thought_n of_o he_o and_o of_o his_o death_n now_o because_o all_o of_o we_o be_v dull_a of_o understanding_n dead_a and_o cold_a in_o affection_n weak_a in_o memory_n that_o either_o we_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o affect_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n or_o not_o remember_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n as_o we_o ought_v therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n as_o a_o principal_a mean_n to_o relieve_v we_o in_o this_o case_n in_o that_o sacrament_n the_o lord_n teach_v we_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o we_o may_v understand_v it_o in_o that_o sacrament_n the_o lord_n express_v the_o death_n of_o christ_n unto_o we_o lively_o that_o we_o may_v be_v affect_v with_o it_o in_o that_o sacrament_n likewise_o the_o lord_n tender_v unto_o we_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o we_o may_v the_o better_o retain_v the_o memorial_n of_o it_o and_o that_o it_o may_v stick_v the_o fast_o and_o the_o close_o by_o we_o not_o only_o for_o that_o present_a time_n while_o we_o be_v receive_v but_o also_o for_o all_o time_n afterward_o for_o as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o bodily_a repast_n we_o eat_v and_o drink_v at_o some_o one_o set_a time_n or_o other_o as_o namely_o at_o dinner_n or_o at_o supper_n not_o that_o our_o body_n shall_v be_v refresh_v and_o comfort_v then_o only_o for_o the_o present_a while_o we_o be_v eat_v but_o because_o by_o that_o strength_n which_o then_o we_o receive_v our_o body_n may_v also_o be_v refresh_v and_o comfort_v afterward_o when_o we_o be_v to_o be_v employ_v in_o the_o duty_n of_o our_o call_n so_o likewise_o in_o our_o spiritual_a repast_n we_o sanctify_v the_o sabbath_n &_o keep_v it_o holy_a unto_o the_o lord_n we_o do_v not_o keep_v the_o sabbath_n holy_a because_o we_o will_v be_v holy_a only_o upon_o the_o sabbath_n but_o because_o that_o that_o holiness_n which_o we_o attain_v unto_o by_o meeting_n god_n in_o his_o own_o save_v

the_o institution_n of_o the_o sacrament_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o here_o you_o see_v that_o our_o saviour_n lay_v a_o charge_n upon_o his_o apostle_n that_o they_o shall_v do_v this_o what_o administer_v and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n in_o remembrance_n of_o christ_n well_o shall_v we_o think_v that_o our_o saviour_n will_v have_v his_o apostle_n that_o they_o only_o

be_v the_o apostle_n reach_v in_o these_o word_n for_o have_v make_v rehearsal_n of_o our_o saviour_n word_n in_o the_o 25_o verse_n present_o he_o say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o and_o

because_o christ_n say_v do_v this_o in_o remembrance_n of_o i_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n conclude_v that_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n be_v a_o perpetual_a ordinance_n and_o must_v be_v observe_v in_o the_o church_n till_o his_o last_o come_n to_o judgement_n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n do_v esteem_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n a_o pregnant_a proof_n of_o the_o

add_v for_o further_a light_n the_o reason_n be_v many_o reason_n 1_o the_o first_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o compare_v this_o with_o the_o passeover_n that_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o exodus_fw-la 12.14_o this_o be_v a_o holy_a remembrance_n to_o you_o a_o holy_a feast_n to_o be_v keep_v among_o you_o throughout_o all_o generation_n you_o shall_v keep_v it_o a_o holy_a feast_n for_o ever_o the_o passeover_n be_v so_o in_o the_o former_a testament_n therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v be_v so_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o be_v to_o last_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o this_o to_o last_v for_o ever_o the_o ground_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v these_o two_o first_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answer_v to_o the_o passeover_n and_o indeed_o unto_o we_o it_o do_v succeed_v in_o stead_n and_o in_o place_n unto_o the_o passeover_n as_o we_o have_v show_v partly_o before_o and_o god_n willing_a shall_v show_v more_o hereafter_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n answer_v to_o the_o passeover_n the_o passeover_n be_v to_o last_o for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v last_v for_o ever_o too_o the_o other_o ground_n of_o the_o reason_n be_v this_o the_o passeover_n be_v a_o sacrament_n for_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n which_o be_v only_o a_o time_n of_o shadow_n the_o gospel_n be_v a_o time_n of_o substance_n shall_v we_o say_v that_o the_o shadow_n shall_v be_v serve_v with_o more_o durable_a thing_n than_o the_o substance_n be_v except_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v serve_v with_o more_o durable_a thing_n than_o the_o time_n of_o the_o gospel_n sure_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o one_o must_v be_v as_o durable_a as_o the_o other_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o passeover_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v for_o ever_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v be_v observe_v for_o ever_o too_o and_o whereas_o the_o word_n for_o ever_o may_v admit_v of_o two_o good_a and_o holy_a interpretation_n which_o way_n soever_o you_o take_v it_o yet_o still_o the_o force_n of_o this_o reason_n hold_v if_o we_o expound_v that_o for_o ever_o in_o that_o sign_n or_o in_o the_o type_n that_o be_v to_o say_v till_o christ_n his_o first_o come_n or_o till_o christ_n come_v and_o suffer_v in_o the_o flesh_n for_o that_o be_v the_o for_o ever_o that_o usual_o be_v speak_v of_o concern_v the_o sacrifice_n and_o sacrament_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n namely_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o flesh_n or_o christ_n suffering_n in_o the_o flesh_n he_o be_v the_o very_a term_n and_o the_o very_a end_n of_o the_o law_n as_o the_o apostle_n show_v in_o hebr._n 10.1_o if_o you_o take_v it_o i_o say_v in_o this_o sense_n yet_o the_o force_n of_o the_o reason_n will_v necessary_o follow_v if_o the_o passeover_n be_v to_o last_o for_o ever_o till_o christ_n come_v in_o the_o flesh_n than_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n must_v last_v for_o ever_o till_o christ_n come_v to_o judgement_n second_o expound_v it_o for_o ever_o that_o be_v not_o in_o the_o sign_n but_o in_o the_o substance_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o ever_o and_o so_o long_o as_o the_o world_n stand_v and_o the_o fruit_n of_o it_o to_o all_o eternity_n expound_v it_o so_o for_o so_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o former_a testament_n they_o do_v stand_v good_a and_o be_v good_a for_o ever_o in_o christ_n the_o substance_n of_o they_o take_v it_o in_o this_o sense_n yet_o the_o reason_n hold_v well_o for_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o passeover_n shall_v last_v till_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n in_o christ_n who_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o why_o then_o the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n which_o be_v ordain_v of_o our_o saviour_n to_o be_v a_o more_o lively_a resemblance_n of_o his_o death_n than_o the_o first_o be_v that_o must_v
