not_o only_o be_v and_o have_v ever_o be_v account_v the_o high_a service_n of_o the_o church_n but_o that_o in_o which_o we_o be_v think_v to_o have_v a_o near_a access_n unto_o and_o a_o more_o

in_o christian_a religion_n and_o that_o upon_o this_o reason_n the_o apostle_n tell_v the_o galatian_n that_o christ_n have_v be_v set_v forth_o before_o their_o eye_n and_o crucify_a among_o they_o gall._n 3.1_o though_o that_o alone_o be_v argument_n enough_o to_o engage_v man_n to_o all_o reverence_n in_o it_o but_o i_o argue_v it_o upon_o another_o reason_n namely_o that_o herein_o we_o be_v admit_v to_o the_o table_n of_o the_o lord_n where_o we_o not_o only_o feed_v with_o he_o but_o feed_v upon_o he_o we_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n we_o partake_v of_o he_o and_o be_v incorporate_v into_o he_o we_o be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o and_o he_o with_o we_o we_o dwell_v in_o he_o and_o he_o in_o we_o as_o our_o church_n speak_v i_o do_v not_o here_o undertake_v the_o dispute_n about_o transubstantiation_n that_o hard_a word_n and_o that_o worse_a thing_n which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v take_v upon_o she_o to_o teach_v as_o a_o article_n of_o necessary_a faith_n contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o a_o sacarament_n to_o the_o plain_a sense_n of_o scripture_n to_o the_o doctrine_n and_o belief_n of_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o father_n of_o it_o and_o to_o the_o common_a sense_n and_o reason_n of_o all_o mankind_n it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n that_o come_v forth_o with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o their_o infallibility_n and_o methinks_v it_o be_v very_o fit_a those_o two_o monster_n shall_v be_v bear_v together_o to_o let_v the_o world_n see_v how_o gigantic_a the_o faith_n of_o a_o romanist_n be_v and_o i_o will_v say_v those_o that_o can_v believe_v the_o infallibility_n of_o their_o pope_n after_o so_o many_o instance_n of_o their_o have_v err_v and_o contradict_v one_o another_o may_v believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o transubstantiation_n contrary_a to_o all_o and_o the_o plain_a evidence_n of_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o mankind_n to_o have_v but_o i_o be_o not_o for_o admit_v dispute_n or_o controversy_n into_o this_o discourse_n and_o therefore_o let_v that_o doctrine_n pass_v as_o a_o thing_n more_o monstrous_a and_o abhorrent_n to_o humane_a reason_n than_o any_o that_o be_v to_o be_v meet_v with_o even_o in_o the_o pagan_a poetic_a theology_n and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o i_o add_v and_o still_o assert_v that_o we_o do_v as_o true_o and_o to_o all_o real_a effect_n partake_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n as_o if_o we_o do_v literal_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n our_o advantage_n be_v as_o real_a and_o true_a by_o the_o one_o as_o it_o can_v be_v by_o the_o other_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v for_o a_o real_a presence_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n but_o it_o be_v that_o real_a presence_n which_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o good_a father_n of_o it_o be_v for_o and_o mean_v when_o they_o speak_v to_o that_o purpose_n viz._n a_o real_a spiritual_a presence_n a_o confer_v all_o the_o great_a effect_n and_o benefit_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n as_o true_o as_o if_o they_o themselves_o be_v actual_o present_a there_o a_o spiritual_a presence_n be_v as_o real_a a_o presence_n as_o a_o bodily_a and_o the_o effect_n and_o benefit_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n be_v real_a thing_n too_o so_o that_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v real_o and_o true_o there_o where_o all_o the_o effect_n and_o blessing_n of_o they_o be_v real_o bestow_v and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v true_o say_v that_o they_o be_v very_o and_o indeed_o take_v and_o receive_v by_o the_o faithful_a in_o the_o lord_n supper_n when_o all_o the_o real_a benefit_n and_o effect_n of_o they_o be_v take_v and_o receive_v by_o they_o this_o i_o be_o pretty_a well_o assure_v be_v all_o that_o the_o primitive_a church_n and_o father_n mean_v by_o the_o real_a presence_n and_o this_o be_v sufficient_a both_o for_o our_o faith_n and_o comfort_v too_o and_o while_o we_o be_v satisfy_v and_o assure_v of_o this_o we_o neither_o need_v more_o nor_o be_v oblige_v to_o puzzle_v ourselves_o about_o any_o further_a question_n now_o this_o sure_o be_v such_o a_o argument_n and_o obligation_n to_o reverence_n and_o devotion_n in_o this_o service_n as_o can_v never_o miss_v effect_n upon_o they_o that_o entertain_v the_o thought_n of_o it_o for_o if_o we_o do_v thus_o discern_v the_o lord_n body_n and_o take_v the_o bread_n and_o wine_n in_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n not_o only_o to_o be_v the_o sign_n and_o symbol_n of_o our_o lord_n body_n and_o blood_n but_o in_o a_o sacramental_a

and_o after_o the_o holy_a comunion_n and_o we_o may_v common_o see_v that_o they_o do_v so_o man_n have_v general_o more_o veneration_n for_o religion_n than_o to_o go_v drink_v to_o church_n or_o

dare_v so_o irreverent_o and_o regardless_o attend_v other_o ministery_n of_o religion_n yet_o be_v see_v to_o be_v very_o serious_a and_o devout_a in_o this_o they_o that_o can_v sit_v at_o prayer_n as_o if_o god_n be_v rather_o petition_v and_o pray_v to_o they_o than_o they_o to_o he_o they_o that_o can_v lay_v themselves_o down_o to_o sleep_v at_o a_o sermon_n and_o perhaps_o soon_o fall_v into_o sleep_n on_o a_o hard_a bench_n there_o than_o the_o soft_a down_n in_o their_o own_o house_n they_o in_o a_o word_n that_o can_v behave_v themselves_o in_o god_n house_n with_o as_o little_a

the_o holy_a sacrament_n and_o that_o be_v their_o have_v be_v so_o long_o teach_v what_o a_o mighty_a deal_n of_o preparation_n be_v necessary_a to_o it_o and_o have_v be_v so_o loud_o alarm_v with_o the_o great_a danger_n of_o communicate_v unworthy_o in_o it_o this_o have_v be_v the_o current_a doctrine_n and_o the_o common_a way_n of_o deal_n with_o man_n for_o some_o age_n the_o great_a business_n of_o the_o good_a father_n be_v not_o to_o persuade_v man_n to_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n for_o that_o they_o always_o account_v their_o necessary_a duty_n and_o till_o this_o last_o age_n none_o ever_o count_v to_o pass_v for_o christian_n that_o neglect_v it_o and_o therefore_o their_o business_n be_v only_o to_o direct_v the_o zeal_n and_o devotion_n of_o christian_n in_o this_o instance_n and_o not_o to_o excite_v it_o to_o direct_v and_o instruct_v man_n how_o to_o come_v acceptable_o and_o as_o they_o ought_v and_o not_o to_o argue_v with_o they_o about_o the_o duty_n of_o come_v and_o therefore_o there_o be_v so_o much_o meet_v with_o in_o their_o write_n about_o the_o necessity_n and_o way_n of_o due_a preparation_n and_o so_o little_a about_o the_o

chief_a task_n and_o business_n at_o present_a for_o in_o the_o latter_a part_n of_o this_o feculent_a and_o almost_o worst_a of_o age_n man_n have_v run_v their_o instruction_n and_o doctrine_n into_o the_o other_o extreme_a press_v so_o much_o the_o necessity_n of_o a_o extraordinary_a preparation_n and_o aggravate_v so_o mighty_o the_o danger_n of_o receive_v unworthy_o that_o man_n be_v fright_v from_o the_o sacrament_n rather_o than_o invite_v to_o it_o and_o have_v think_v it_o as_o i_o say_v before_o safe_o to_o keep_v whole_o from_o it_o than_o to_o run_v so_o great_a a_o hazard_n in_o the_o observation_n thereof_o these_o thing_n we_o find_v stick_v fast_o in_o man_n mind_n yet_o and_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o dispossess_v they_o of_o that_o superstitious_a fear_n that_o these_o doctrine_n have_v strike_v they_o with_o man_n be_v now_o in_o more_o danger_n to_o run_v into_o the_o contrary_a extreme_a than_o to_o fall_v into_o this_o in_o more_o danger_n to_o stay_v whole_o from_o the_o holy_a sacrament_n upon_o this_o dread_n of_o it_o than_o to_o run_v to_o it_o careless_o and_o without_o any_o due_a regard_n of_o the_o sacredness_n of_o it_o upon_o these_o reason_n it_o may_v i_o think_v safe_o be_v say_v that_o christian_n now_o be_v in_o little_a danger_n of_o this_o sin_n and_o almost_o out_o of_o a_o possibility_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o this_o text_n and_o which_o the_o apostle_n tax_v the_o corinthian_n for_o sect_n iii_o have_v proceed_v so_o far_o upon_o the_o strict_a sense_n of_o this_o place_n and_o the_o direct_a design_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o it_o i_o go_v on_o to_o a_o material_a scruple_n and_o a_o very_a important_a inquiry_n very_o fit_a to_o be_v consider_v and_o resolve_v and_o that_o be_v whether_o nothing_o be_v eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o beside_o this_o do_v a_o man_n never_o eat_v and_o drink_v unworthy_o but_o when_o he_o come_v drink_v to_o the_o lord_n table_n

if_o man_n will_v consider_v this_o it_o will_v be_v one_o good_a step_n towards_o their_o satisfaction_n in_o this_o case_n and_o of_o good_a use_n towards_o the_o remove_n their_o fear_n of_o eat_v
