shall_v be_v to_o he_o a_o mean_n of_o that_o eternal_a life_n to_o which_o i_o shall_v raise_v he_o at_o the_o last_o day_n and_o this_o as_o certain_o as_o if_o he_o be_v now_o in_o actual_a possession_n of_o it_o v._o 54._o because_o our_o lord_n continue_v in_o his_o speech_n to_o make_v a_o separate_a mention_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o blood_n it_o follow_v that_o he_o still_o speak_v of_o his_o death_n and_o the_o particular_a doctrine_n concern_v his_o death_n which_o will_v be_v entertain_v with_o the_o great_a difficulty_n viz._n that_o he_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o a_o saviour_n because_o crucify_v etc._n etc._n the_o lively_a belief_n whereof_o be_v that_o which_o our_o lord_n mean_v by_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n and_o not_o eat_v and_o drink_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n which_o a_o man_n may_v do_v to_o his_o condemnation_n and_o therefore_o although_o st._n austin_n sometime_o understand_v these_o word_n of_o the_o eucharist_n yet_o he_o do_v not_o so_o understand_v they_o as_o if_o every_o one_o who_o partake_v of_o the_o eucharist_n do_v also_o eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o manifest_o deny_v that_o the_o wicked_a be_v partaker_n of_o the_o very_a body_n of_o christ_n though_o they_o partake_v of_o the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o they_o must_v do_v the_o one_o as_o well_o as_o the_o other_o if_o it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o proper_a substance_n of_o the_o body_n of_o christ_n be_v in_o the_o sacrament_n as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n pretend_v and_o by_o consequence_n if_o this_o corporal_a eat_n be_v intend_v it_o seem_v clear_o to_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n who_o partake_v of_o the_o eucharist_n can_v be_v damn_v which_o be_v certain_o very_o false_a and_o therefore_o corporal_a eat_n can_v be_v mean_v here_o but_o only_o spiritual_a eat_n and_o so_o st._n austin_n understand_v it_o although_o he_o apply_v these_o word_n sometime_o to_o the_o eucharist_n inasmuch_o as_o he_o deny_v that_o the_o wicked_a do_v eat_v the_o flesh_n and_o drink_v the_o blood_n of_o christ_n although_o with_o their_o mouth_n they_o take_v the_o sacrament_n of_o his_o body_n and_o blood_n but_o because_o this_o spiritual_a eat_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v by_o no_o mean_n confine_v to_o the_o participation_n of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o because_o many_o do_v not_o partake_v spiritual_o in_o the_o body_n and_o blood_n of_o christ_n that_o yet_o do_v partake_v of_o the_o sacrament_n i_o can_v understand_v why_o our_o saviour_n shall_v speak_v here_o direct_o and_o proper_o of_o the_o eucharist_n and_o therefore_o i_o adhere_v to_o the_o sense_n of_o those_o father_n who_o interpret_v this_o place_n and_o those_o that_o follow_v of_o spiritual_a action_n only_o 55._o so_o that_o the_o doctrine_n concern_v my_o suffering_n and_o death_n which_o will_v give_v the_o great_a offence_n to_o unbeliever_n be_v the_o most_o excellent_a meat_n and_o drink_n because_o it_o be_v the_o food_n of_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v receive_v with_o a_o firm_a and_o efficacious_a faith_n and_o will_v secure_v also_o the_o resurrection_n of_o the_o body_n to_o everlasting_a life_n v._o 55._o he_o continue_v to_o distinguish_v the_o flesh_n from_o the_o blood_n and_o therefore_o still_o speak_v of_o his_o passion_n give_v some_o kind_n of_o preeminence_n to_o faith_n in_o his_o death_n above_o the_o belief_n of_o other_o particular_a doctrine_n though_o that_o will_v be_v admit_v with_o great_a difficulty_n 56._o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o believe_v my_o death_n to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n and_o do_v thereby_o learn_v that_o duty_n which_o it_o teach_v and_o receive_v that_o comfort_n which_o it_o afford_v he_o will_v love_v i_o and_o devote_v himself_o entire_o to_o my_o service_n because_o i_o have_v thus_o humble_v myself_o though_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n for_o which_o such_o as_o you_o will_v be_v violent_o prejudice_v against_o i_o and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n he_o shall_v be_v peculiar_o belove_v and_o care_v for_o by_o i_o for_o though_o in_o love_n to_o mankind_n i_o be_o to_o be_v make_v a_o offer_n for_o sin_n yet_o it_o be_v a_o particular_a care_n i_o shall_v express_v towards_o those_o who_o have_v a_o true_a sense_n of_o my_o suffering_n in_o their_o behalf_n who_o make_v a_o right_a use_n of_o they_o and_o return_v that_o thankfulness_n and_o

believe_v his_o death_n to_o be_v a_o sacrifice_n etc._n etc._n and_o here_o he_o intimate_v that_o his_o suffering_n which_o will_v be_v a_o stumble_v block_n to_o unbeliever_n will_v be_v a_o effectual_a engagement_n to_o all_o good_a man_n to_o love_v he_o and_o that_o their_o fervent_a love_n and_o humble_a gratitude_n will_v be_v reward_v with_o his_o especial_a love_n for_o as_o god_n dwelling_n in_o man_n signify_v his_o gracious_a presence_n among_o they_o and_o his_o delight_n in_o do_v they_o good_a so_o their_o dwell_n in_o he_o signify_v their_o love_n to_o he_o and_o

and_o i_o do_v earnest_o repeat_v it_o again_o as_o sure_a as_o the_o father_n who_o send_v i_o will_v raise_v i_o from_o the_o dead_a so_o sure_o will_v i_o raise_v up_o every_o one_o to_o

death_n and_o to_o speak_v now_o of_o his_o whole_a doctrine_n as_o he_o have_v do_v before_o for_o as_o by_o eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n we_o be_v to_o understand_v believe_v

a_o short_a time_n whereas_o he_o that_o feed_v upon_o the_o word_n and_o doctrine_n which_o god_n have_v send_v you_o from_o heaven_n shall_v be_v raise_v from_o the_o dead_a to_o ascend_v thither_o and_o to_o live_v there_o for_o ever_o v._o 58._o here_o he_o conclude_v all_o with_o return_v to_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o use_v the_o very_a expression_n that_o he_o begin_v withal_o v._n 32_o 35.50_o than_o which_o we_o need_v not_o a_o clear_a proof_n that_o he_o all_o along_o speak_v in_o the_o same_o style_n and_o in_o those_o expression_n of_o eat_v and_o drink_v perpetual_o allude_v to_o the_o manna_n and_o the_o loaf_n in_o the_o wilderness_n which_o give_v occasion_n to_o all_o this_o discourse_n 59_o these_o thing_n he_o say_v public_o in_o the_o synagogue_n at_o capernaum_n where_o the_o people_n who_o he_o have_v feed_v in_o the_o wilderness_n find_v he_o v._n 24_o 25._o and_o give_v he_o the_o occasion_n of_o discourse_v in_o this_o manner_n by_o follow_v he_o for_o

before_o v._n 31._o and_o the_o great_a end_n of_o his_o discourse_n upon_o this_o occasion_n be_v to_o draw_v their_o mind_n from_o worldly_a to_o heavenly_a thing_n and_o to_o make_v they_o more_o desirous_a of_o the_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a benefit_n of_o his_o miracle_n than_o of_o the_o bodily_a relief_n which_o they_o have_v find_v by_o they_o 60._o but_o because_o he_o express_v

be_v so_o kind_a if_o not_o to_o i_o yet_o to_o yourself_o to_o reconcile_v these_o say_n with_o what_o you_o say_v viz._n that_o there_o be_v no_o papist_n but_o what_o will_v grant_v such_o

viz._n that_o papist_n deny_v salvation_n to_o protestant_n remain_v such_o and_o that_o protestant_n grant_v a_o possibility_n of_o it_o to_o papist_n remain_v such_o and_o therefore_o by_o

that_o the_o papist_n be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o boast_v of_o it_o in_o their_o write_n and_o conversation_n think_v thereby_o to_o draw_v weak_a person_n that_o can_v consider_v where_o the_o cheat_n of_o the_o argument_n lie_v to_o be_v of_o their_o church_n and_o with_o this_o deceitful_a argument_n which_o they_o have_v frame_v from_o our_o excess_n of_o charity_n to_o they_o and_o their_o
