holy_a love_n and_o zeal_n and_o unite_n our_o soul_n to_o christ_n by_o faith_n there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o fancy_v the_o bread_n to_o be_v substantial_o change_v into_o the_o natural_a body_n of_o christ_n that_o so_o by_o this_o mean_a we_o may_v be_v real_o unite_v to_o it_o which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o colourable_a pretence_n make_v use_v of_o by_o petrus_n de_fw-fr marca_n and_o other_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n and_o christ_n natural_o be_v and_o remain_v in_o we_o it_o be_v enough_o that_o christ_n take_v our_o nature_n upon_o he_o and_o unite_v it_o inseparable_o to_o his_o divinity_n that_o he_o be_v make_v up_o of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o a_o humane_a soul_n and_o that_o he_o do_v communicate_v himself_o that_o be_v his_o body_n and_o blood_n in_o the_o sacrament_n for_o so_o the_o element_n real_o and_o true_o be_v after_o consecration_n but_o without_o depart_v from_o their_o natural_a state_n and_o without_o lose_v their_o bodily_a substance_n for_o this_o be_v all_o i_o humble_o conceive_v that_o our_o church_n mean_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o real_a presence_n which_o it_o acknowledge_v and_o maintain_v that_o be_v by_o the_o power_n of_o god_n and_o the_o institution_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o descent_n and_o superven_a grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n the_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n after_o consecration_n by_o a_o priest_n right_o ordain_v and_o constitute_v become_v the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n mystical_o and_o sacramental_o and_o so_o the_o sacrament_n be_v more_o than_o a_o bare_a figure_n and_o representation_n more_o than_o a_o mere_a symbol_n or_o external_a rite_n as_o be_v the_o type_n and_o shadow_n of_o the_o law_n because_o it_o do_v exhibit_v and_o communicate_v christ_n real_o and_o true_o to_o we_o thus_o saint_n paul_n have_v express_o determine_v the_o bread_n which_o we_o break_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communication_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n the_o cup_n of_o blessing_n which_o we_o bless_v be_v it_o not_o the_o communication_n of_o the_o blood_n of_o christ_n 2_o cor._n 10.16_o now_o be_v this_o serious_o lay_v to_o heart_n that_o in_o the_o sacrament_n we_o meet_v with_o christ_n and_o receive_v he_o how_o shall_v we_o long_o for_o these_o bless_a opportunity_n as_o the_o hart_n pant_v after_o the_o water-brook_n so_o pant_v my_o soul_n after_o thou_o o_o god_n my_o soul_n thirst_v for_o god_n for_o the_o live_a god_n when_o shall_v i_o come_v to_o appear_v before_o god_n can_v we_o be_v weary_a of_o his_o bless_a presence_n or_o complain_v of_o too_o frequent_a entertainment_n and_o communication_n it_o will_v be_v the_o unspeakable_a glory_n and_o happiness_n of_o the_o other_o world_n to_o be_v in_o the_o

the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o our_o saviour_n we_o be_v more_o and_o more_o confirm_v in_o our_o purpose_n of_o holy_a live_n and_o strengthen_v in_o grace_n and_o goodness_n we_o be_v daily_o

after_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o sacrament_n and_o we_o do_v not_o find_v these_o bless_a effect_n of_o it_o within_o ourselves_o to_o which_o several_a thing_n be_v to_o be_v reply_v 1._o that_o

to_o this_o mean_a and_o instrument_n of_o grace_n why_o it_o be_v not_o equal_o effectual_a to_o we_o and_o therefore_o 3._o that_o we_o do_v not_o either_o receive_v it_o with_o due_a preparation_n that_o be_v our_o heart_n be_v not_o purify_v by_o repentance_n and_o faith_n and_o inflame_v with_o love_n and_o charity_n but_o we_o may_v break_v in_o upon_o the_o altar_n without_o awe_n and_o reverence_n mere_o out_o of_o formality_n in_o compliance_n with_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o place_n and_o only_o for_o fear_v that_o our_o absence_n shall_v be_v censure_v or_o else_o we_o be_v not_o careful_a after_o we_o have_v receive_v it_o to_o perform_v those_o vow_n and_o obligation_n which_o we_o lay_v upon_o ourselves_o when_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o lord_n table_n which_o be_v the_o general_a fault_n we_o be_v seem_o strict_a before_o as_o if_o this_o be_v enough_o and_o can_v satisfy_v the_o conscience_n to_o receive_v christ_n without_o any_o far_a care_n of_o walk_v in_o he_o 4._o that_o this_o be_v as_o far_o from_o be_v a_o objection_n against_o frequent_a communion_n as_o it_o be_v against_o our_o daily_a prayer_n for_o do_v we_o not_o every_o morning_n private_o on_o our_o knee_n beg_v of_o god_n the_o assistence_n of_o his_o grace_n that_o we_o may_v not_o be_v lead_v into_o temptation_n but_o may_v be_v powerful_o defend_v from_o it_o and_o preserve_v in_o

the_o day_n without_o sin_n and_o defend_v we_o by_o his_o mighty_a power_n that_o we_o may_v not_o fall_v into_o it_o but_o god_n know_v our_o weakness_n and_o we_o can_v but_o acknowledge_v it_o
