real_a my_o first_o argument_n be_v this_o because_o it_o be_v a_o mean_n to_o convince_v man_n of_o sinfullnesse_n which_o be_v the_o first_o work_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o true_a conversion_n joh_n 16.8_o now_o in_o this_o sacrament_n christ_n be_v as_o it_o be_v crucify_a before_o our_o eye_n and_o that_o for_o the_o remission_n of_o sin_n which_o can_v not_o otherwise_o be_v expiate_v but_o by_o the_o shed_n of_o his_o blood_n likewise_o it_o serve_v to_o convince_v we_o of_o the_o heinousness_n and_o hatefullnesse_n of_o our_o sin_n which_o can_v not_o be_v do_v away_o by_o any_o other_o mean_n but_o by_o the_o blood_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o also_o to_o convince_v we_o of_o monstrous_a ingratitude_n if_o we_o shall_v presume_v to_o come_v to_o the_o sacrament_n of_o christ_n body_n and_o blood_n and_o yet_o to_o follow_v flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o not_o labour_v to_o be_v cleanse_v by_o the_o blood_n of_o that_o lamb_n that_o take_v away_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o world_n beside_o the_o very_a break_n of_o the_o bread_n understand_o look_v upon_o be_v a_o forcible_a argument_n to_o break_v our_o heart_n 104._o london_n min._n vindic_n of_o the_o presbyterial_a

second_o the_o sacrament_n be_v a_o compound_n ordinance_n consist_v of_o the_o word_n prayer_n and_o element_n of_o bread_n and_o wine_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v more_o forcible_a than_o
