it_o take_v so_o large_o in_o any_o part_n of_o the_o book_n of_o god_n always_o the_o word_n sacrament_n be_v very_o ambiguous_a in_o itself_o and_o there_o arise_v about_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o this_o word_n many_o controversy_n which_o be_v not_o yet_o cease_v nor_o will_v not_o cease_v while_o the_o world_n last_v whereas_o if_o they_o have_v keep_v the_o apostle_n word_n and_o call_v they_o as_o the_o apostle_n call_v they_o sign_n and_o seal_n all_o this_o digladiation_n strife_n and_o contention_n appear_o have_v not_o fall_v out_o but_o where_o man_n will_v be_v wise_a than_o god_n and_o give_v name_n to_o thing_n without_o warrant_n from_o god_n upon_o the_o wit_n of_o man_n which_o be_v but_o mere_a folly_n all_o this_o stir_n fall_v out_o well_o then_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o purpose_n the_o ancient_a divine_n take_v the_o word_n sacrament_n as_o we_o may_v perceive_v in_o a_o fourfold_a manner_n sometime_o they_o take_v it_o for_o the_o whole_a action_n that_o be_v the_o whole_a ministry_n of_o the_o element_n sometime_o they_o take_v it_o not_o for_o the_o whole_a action_n but_o for_o the_o outward_a thing_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o action_n of_o baptism_n and_o of_o the_o supper_n as_o they_o take_v it_o for_o the_o water_n and_o sprinkle_n of_o it_o for_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n break_v distribute_v and_o eat_v thereof_o three_o again_o they_o take_v it_o not_o for_o the_o whole_a outward_a thing_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o action_n but_o only_o for_o the_o material_a and_o earthly_a thing_n the_o element_n as_o for_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o supper_n and_o water_n in_o baptism_n and_o after_o this_o sort_n say_v augustine_n the_o wicked_a eat_v the_o body_n of_o our_o lord_n concern_v the_o sacrament_n only_o that_o be_v concern_v the_o element_n only_o last_o of_o all_o they_o take_v it_o not_o only_o for_o the_o element_n but_o for_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o element_n and_o after_o this_o manner_n irenaeus_n say_v that_o a_o sacrament_n stand_v of_o two_o thing_n the_o one_o earthly_a the_o other_o heavenly_a the_o ancient_a divine_n then_o take_v the_o word_n after_o these_o sort_n no_o question_n all_o these_o way_n they_o take_v it_o right_o but_o leave_v the_o ambiguity_n of_o the_o word_n i_o take_v the_o word_n sacrament_n as_o it_o be_v take_v and_o use_v this_o day_n in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n for_o a_o holy_a sign_n &_o seal_n that_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o preach_v word_n of_o god_n to_o seal_v up_o &_o confirm_v the_o truth_n contain_v in_o the_o same_o word_n so_o that_o i_o call_v not_o the_o seal_n separate_v from_o the_o word_n a_o sacrament_n for_o as_o there_o can_v not_o be_v a_o seal_n but_o that_o which_o be_v the_o seal_n of_o a_o evidence_n and_o if_o the_o seal_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o evidence_n it_o be_v not_o a_o seal_n but_o look_v what_o it_o be_v by_o nature_n it_o be_v no_o more_o so_o there_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n except_o it_o be_v annex_v to_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o word_n but_o look_v what_o the_o sacrament_n be_v by_o nature_n it_o be_v no_o more_o be_v it_o a_o common_a piece_n of_o bread_n it_o remain_v common_a bread_n except_o it_o be_v join_v to_o the_o evidence_n of_o the_o word_n therefore_o the_o word_n only_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n nor_o the_o element_n only_o can_v be_v a_o sacrament_n but_o the_o word_n and_o element_n coniunct_o must_v make_v a_o sacrament_n and_o so_o augustine_n say_v well_o let_v the_o word_n come_v to_o the_o element_n and_o so_o you_o shall_v have_v a_o sacrament_n so_o then_o the_o word_n must_v come_v to_o the_o element_n that_o be_v the_o word_n preach_v distinct_o and_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o open_v up_o must_v go_v before_o the_o hang_n to_o of_o the_o sacracrament_n and_o the_o sacrament_n as_o a_o seal_n must_v follow_v and_o so_o be_v receive_v according_o then_o i_o call_v a_o sacrament_n the_o word_n and_o seal_v coniunct_o the_o one_o hang_v to_o the_o other_o it_o be_v without_o all_o controversy_n and_o there_o be_v no_o doubt_n in_o it_o that_o all_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n now_o if_o a_o sacrament_n be_v a_o sign_n as_o the_o sign_n be_v in_o a_o relation_n in_o that_o category_n for_o so_o we_o must_v speak_v it_o so_o the_o sacrament_n must_v be_v place_v in_o that_o same_o categorie_n of_o relation_n now_o every_o relation_n again_o must_v stand_v of_o force_n betwixt_o two_o thing_n for_o one_o thing_n can_v be_v the_o correlative_a of_o itself_o but_o in_o a_o lawful_a relation_n of_o force_n there_o must_v be_v two_o thing_n which_o two_o have_v ever_o a_o mutual_a respect_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o therefore_o in_o every_o sacrament_n that_o have_v a_o relation_n there_o must_v be_v two_o thing_n which_o two_o have_v ever_o a_o mutual_a respect_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o take_v away_o one_o of_o these_o two_o thing_n from_o the_o sacrament_n you_o lose_v the_o relation_n and_o lose_v the_o relation_n you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n confound_v any_o of_o these_o two_o with_o the_o other_o make_v either_o a_o confusion_n or_o permixtion_n of_o they_o you_o lose_v the_o relation_n and_o lose_v the_o relation_n you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n turn_v over_o the_o one_o into_o the_o other_o so_o that_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o one_o start_n up_o and_o vanish_v in_o the_o other_o you_o lose_v the_o relation_n and_o so_o you_o lose_v the_o sacrament_n then_o as_o in_o every_o sacrament_n there_o be_v a_o relation_n so_o to_o keep_v the_o relation_n you_o must_v ever_o keep_v two_o thing_n several_o in_o the_o sacrament_n now_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n and_o consideration_n of_o these_o two_o diverse_a thing_n which_o be_v relative_a to_o other_o sermon_n we_o shall_v keep_v this_o order_n by_o god_n grace_n first_o i_o will_v let_v you_o see_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o a_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n next_o i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o thing_n signify_v three_o how_o they_o two_o be_v couple_v by_o what_o power_n and_o virtue_n they_o be_v conjoin_v and_o from_o whence_o this_o power_n and_o virtue_n flow_v four_o and_o last_o of_o all_o i_o will_v let_v you_o understand_v whether_o one_o and_o the_o selfsame_o instrument_n give_v the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v or_o not_o whether_o they_o be_v give_v in_o one_o action_n or_o two_o whether_o they_o be_v offer_v to_o one_o instrument_n or_o two_o or_o if_o they_o be_v give_v after_o one_o manner_n or_o two_o to_o both_o the_o instrument_n mark_v these_o diversity_n the_o diverse_a manner_n of_o the_o receive_n the_o diversity_n of_o the_o instrument_n &_o the_o diversity_n of_o the_o giver_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v little_a difficulty_n in_o the_o sacrament_n sacrament_n now_o to_o begin_v at_o the_o sign_n see_v all_o sacrament_n be_v sign_n what_o call_v we_o the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n i_o call_v the_o sign_n in_o the_o sacrament_n whatsoever_o i_o perceive_v and_o take_v up_o by_o my_o outward_a sense_n by_o my_o eye_n especial_o now_o you_o see_v in_o this_o sacrament_n there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o thing_n subject_a to_o the_o outward_a sense_n and_o to_o the_o eye_n especial_o you_o see_v the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v subject_a to_o my_o eye_n therefore_o they_o must_v be_v sign_n you_o see_v again_o that_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n whereby_o these_o element_n be_v distribute_v break_v &_o give_v be_v subject_a to_o my_o eye_n also_o then_o i_o must_v make_v two_o sort_n of_o sign_n one_o sort_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o we_o call_v they_o elemental_a another_o sort_n of_o the_o rite_n and_o ceremony_n whereby_o these_o be_v distribute_v break_v and_o give_v and_o we_o call_v they_o ceremonial_a be_v not_o deceive_v with_o the_o word_n ceremony_n think_v not_o that_o i_o call_v the_o break_n of_o the_o bread_n the_o eat_n of_o the_o bread_n and_o drink_v of_o the_o wine_n ceremony_n think_v not_o that_o they_o be_v vain_a as_o you_o use_v that_o word_n ceremony_n for_o a_o vain_a thing_n which_o have_v no_o grace_n nor_o profit_n follow_v after_o it_o no_o although_o i_o call_v they_o ceremony_n there_o be_v never_o a_o ceremony_n which_o christ_n institute_v in_o this_o supper_n but_o it_o be_v as_o essential_a as_o the_o bread_n and_o wine_n be_v and_o you_o can_v leave_v one_o jot_n of_o they_o except_o you_o pervert_v the_o whole_a institution_n for_o what_o ever_o christ_n command_v to_o be_v do_v what_o ever_o he_o speak_v or_o do_v in_o that_o whole_a action_n it_o be_v essential_a and_o must_v be_v do_v &_o you_o can_v leave_v one_o jot_n thereof_o but_o you_o will_v pervert_v the_o whole_a action_n sign_n

be_v conceive_v &_o bear_v and_o whereunto_o he_o addict_v himself_o and_o be_v a_o slave_n before_o but_o to_o that_o idol_n he_o give_v his_o service_n yet_o and_o therefore_o marvel_v not_o when_o thou_o have_v addict_v thy_o service_n set_v thy_o affection_n and_o pour_v out_o thy_o heart_n upon_o that_o pleasure_n of_o thy_o own_o upon_o that_o idol_n of_o thy_o own_o upon_o that_o lust_n and_o mischief_n of_o thy_o own_o marvel_v not_o if_o thou_o have_v no_o appetite_n to_o christ_n nor_o to_o that_o heavenly_a food_n when_o thou_o have_v thy_o soul_n pour_v forth_o on_o some_o

shall_v on_o christ_n jesus_n then_o let_v every_o one_o in_o his_o own_o rank_n take_v heed_n to_o his_o own_o domestic_a idol_n that_o lodge_v within_o his_o own_o heart_n and_o press_v to_o clear_v himself_o of_o it_o or_o otherwise_o you_o can_v see_v the_o face_n of_o christ_n nor_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o kingdom_n there_o be_v not_o another_o lesson_n in_o christianity_n but_o this_o this_o be_v the_o first_o and_o the_o last_o lesson_n to_o shake_v off_o your_o lust_n and_o affection_n piece_n and_o piece_n and_o so_o by_o little_a and_o little_o renounce_v thyself_o that_o thou_o may_v embrace_v christ._n i_o grant_v there_o be_v a_o great_a progress_n in_o this_o point_n in_o some_o then_o in_o other_o some_o less_o some_o more_o profit_n in_o this_o but_o except_o in_o some_o measure_n you_o cast_v off_o yourselves_o and_o whatsoever_o in_o your_o own_o eye_n you_o account_v most_o precious_a to_o come_v by_o christ_n you_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o he_o and_o this_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o be_v do_v it_o be_v very_o easy_a for_o a_o man_n to_o speak_v it_o to_o bid_v a_o man_n renounce_v his_o own_o idol_n which_o i_o call_v his_o affection_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o soon_o do_v assure_o a_o strong_a must_v come_v in_o to_o cast_v out_o the_o affection_n yea_o a_o strong_a than_o the_o devil_n must_v come_v in_o to_o drive_v out_o the_o devil_n who_o make_v residence_n in_o the_o affection_n or_o else_o he_o will_v remain_v there_o for_o ever_o therefore_o there_o be_v not_o many_o that_o have_v renounce_v themselves_o and_o examine_v thy_o

whatsoever_o make_v thou_o a_o stranger_n to_o christ_n thou_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o he_o and_o be_v this_o a_o small_a matter_n see_v there_o be_v no_o part_n or_o power_n of_o our_o soul_n but_o

thousand_o time_n great_a than_o the_o work_n of_o our_o first_o creation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v most_o necessary_a that_o every_o man_n take_v heed_n unto_o himself_o for_o the_o devil_n be_v so_o crafty_a in_o this_o point_n that_o he_o erect_v ever_o one_o idol_n or_o other_o in_o our_o soul_n and_o sometime_o under_o the_o show_n of_o virtue_n which_o of_o all_o be_v most_o dangerous_a and_o in_o every_o work_n that_o we_o take_v in_o hand_n be_v it_o never_o so_o holy_a he_o be_v at_o our_o right_a hand_n and_o make_v himself_o to_o have_v interest_n in_o it_o and_o he_o content_v

in_o your_o most_o virtuous_a action_n he_o mix_v then_o with_o sin_n &_o so_o do_v all_o that_o lie_v in_o he_o to_o make_v you_o lose_v your_o profit_n and_o lose_v your_o reward_n for_o when_o

see_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v so_o crafty_a that_o either_o he_o cast_v in_o a_o false_a conceit_n of_o ourselves_o in_o do_v any_o good_a deed_n or_o else_o make_v we_o to_o do_v that_o last_o

be_v half_o watchful_a or_o studious_a enough_o to_o cast_v out_o the_o devil_n to_o renounce_v ourselves_o and_o to_o submit_v we_o unto_o the_o obedience_n of_o christ._n thus_o far_o concern_v the_o conjunction_n now_o see_v that_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v diverse_a thereof_o it_o rest_v to_o be_v consider_v how_o the_o sign_n be_v deliver_v &_o how_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v deliver_v and_o after_o what_o manner_n they_o be_v receive_v and_o therefore_o concern_v this_o you_o have_v these_o thing_n to_o mark_v first_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v deliver_v unto_o you_o by_o one_o man_n or_o not_o second_o to_o consider_v whether_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v deliver_v unto_o you_o in_o

signify_v be_v offer_v and_o receive_v after_o one_o manner_n or_o not_o now_o after_o that_o you_o have_v consider_v all_o these_o in_o the_o end_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v not_o give_v by_o one_o person_n you_o shall_v find_v next_o that_o they_o be_v not_o give_v in_o one_o sort_n of_o action_n three_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o

clear_a unto_o you_o i_o say_v that_o the_o sign_n and_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o the_o sign_n be_v not_o both_o give_v by_o one_o and_o this_o you_o see_v plain_o for_o as_o for_o the_o sign_n that_o bread_n and_o that_o wine_n you_o see_v yourselves_o that_o the_o minister_n offer_v unto_o you_o the_o sign_n he_o give_v you_o that_o sacrament_n as_o that_o sign_n be_v a_o earthly_a and_o corporal_a thing_n so_o it_o be_v a_o earthly_a and_o corporal_a man_n that_o give_v it_o now_o the_o thing_n signify_v be_v of_o another_o nature_n for_o it_o be_v a_o heavenly_a and_o spiritual_a

suffer_v a_o conjunction_n look_v how_o far_o it_o will_v suffer_v a_o conjunction_n so_o far_o be_v they_o conjoin_v see_v then_o you_o must_v observe_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v

which_o serve_v to_o make_v this_o conjunction_n very_o clear_a namely_o the_o conjunction_n betwixt_o the_o word_n which_o i_o speak_v and_o the_o thing_n signify_v by_o that_o same_o word_n as_o
